And he is a known idiot so there is good reason to doubt anything and everything he says and by extension the FBI.

If you look at the credentials of the people in charge of the country right now it's a who's who of has been bloggers and TV show hosts. This was on purpose. The voters gave us Trump and Trump wanted yes men.

Privately every single person in Trump's administration is terrified he's not going to get a third term because if he doesn't then they don't have any of that sweet sweet supreme Court granted presidential immunity and they're all wrong prison.

It's one of the things that makes the right wing so effective. The centrists are really just looking to put a feather in their cap and run some committee meetings. Keep things going smoothly. The right wing is so full crooks and lairs every single one of them is fighting for their freedom because if we ever start enforcing laws again they're all going to prison. Steve Bannon for example has been bailed out twice now by Trump and the Republican party.

Honestly Windows 7 and 10 are fine. Windows 11 is an absolute shit show. I don't care how fast your hardware is it is so painfully slow

"Apple has never offered a product that justified a large chassis. It used to be lots of slots, hard drives and other storage that justified it. Macs have never been about that"

I see you don't remember the 68k Macs OR the PPC Macs. Apple offered machines with lots of slots ever since the Macintosh II line. HTH.

Too much latency for RAM.

You mean running them on an external GPU? That doesn't take much bandwidth unless you're constantly loading new models.

I'm guessing it's mostly just him complaining about getting shot down for dates and forcing his way into locker rooms to drink beer.

Last time Trump was President famously they kept him from having access to classified information as much as possible because he kept leaking it and so did everyone around him. Trump didn't like that so this time all the adults in the room are gone and it's all toddlers. It must really suck to be an American intelligence officer or asset right now. I mean we had people restraining the stupidity back in 2016 and they are all gone now and the last time the number of dead intelligence officers and assets shot through the roof. These days I suspect they have a life expectancy comparable to a drain fly.

Chinese law doesn't require a warrant for such access and it may be done in secrecy (i.e. without informing the user) if necessary to perform duties. The problem with Apple in China isn't that they aren't following the law, it's that they are and the law is openly fascist.

Check his posting history and it's very clear that he is not.

If he is not a trollbot, he is so frothy as to be indistinguishable from one. Every comment is the same.

So companies opened literally thousands of data centers that use huge amounts of electricity and water both of which are increasingly in short supply.

Now they have basically unlimited money because they are dangling the possibility of freeing the Epstein class from their long-standing dependency on us filthy filthy peasants.

But the problem is they don't quite have unlimited power and people have noticed how terrible the data centers are for their communities so they can't just keep building them.

So because of that they are starting to have to prioritize what their data centers are going to support and to do. At least in the short term. They are still building data centers here and there and they are gradually getting state laws changed by buying off State legislatures.

The Epstein class is always been really big on buying up the state legislatures. They are big and powerful enough that they can use them to ram through anything they want no matter what voters actually want but they aren't so small and numerous that they're too expensive or troublesome to buy up. And it can be hard to buy a national government completely.

First off about 60% of people never move from where they were born. Of that most of them move for work.

Second of all it is perfectly fucking reasonable that you should be able to move to any major city or town and not have to worry about whether or not you have water. Having water is one of the most basic elements of functioning civilization.

I am so sick of the absurd length and excuses people come up with to blame individuals for systemic problems just so they can preserve some kind of weird libertarian worldview where we don't actually have to take care of each other.

Meanwhile the reason is reservoirs are low is largely because we fucked up the water cycle with climate change. We didn't need to but it helped corporate profits and it got a few men closer to being trillionaires

Mobile Firefox has become nearly unusable. It crashes on me at least once per day now. The memory leaks are worse than ever.

Dice isn't relevant here, it's B1zX

And we are on track for another 1,500 this year

I think you're having a hard time with the scale of what's going on because it's numbers that aren't normal for human beings

But I seem to remember them all being pretty crazy expensive for what you got. I guess it would be probably quieter than the equivalent Windows PC or hackintosh but most of the models I see out in the wild are the really expensive ones that would have sold for $5,000 and up

A quick search shows 5 million gallons daily. The Southwest states are currently fighting over the Colorado River or what's left of it and everyone wants to build data centers there because they get very few natural disasters. I think some parts of Arizona get big dust storms but those are easy enough to deal with. And the rest of the Southern United States doesn't even have those.

Remember it's not just about how much water an individual data center uses it's about how much water is available to that specific community.

Never mind the fact that we are seeing dozens of these data centers built. A large city might use 100 million gallons a day so the 10 data centers you might easily see near a large city could guzzle 50% of the water.

All of this because the rich don't want to have to pay people and they don't like to have to pretend to be civil to consumers or employees
