Paper heads! They're retractable! But not statistically waterproof, that's why they're getting sued.

You won't be able to buy it because they will sell it to China, and then they will build more fabs and they will be for HBM, not DDR.

Utilities are heavily regulated because they need to be. They have demonstrated it time and again. PGE in particular has proven it several well-publicized times that you surely have heard of.

The upshot of these regulations is that utilities including PGE only really make money from new generation projects, so they certainly would like to engage in them. But the longer they run, the more they cost, and the more PGE can charge as a result. This also motivates them to build the least cost-effective options.

So, so fragile. Hilarious!

It’s beyond silly! It’s just desperate.

What the fuck are you talking about? Just because you love huffing the smell of petrol or diesel, most people don’t. It’s not a nice smell. And it’s bad for you.

And it’s not a fucking binary, you numpty. The fewer ICE cars, the quieter and less smelly the roads are. How this is difficult for you to understand is beyond me.

That’s not what drives population life expectancy! C’mon, it’s not about who survives a stroke or not, it’s about how long people live healthy lives in the first place, and the key determinant, *especially* in the US because of inequality, is wealth. Cities generate more wealth for populations than rural areas, and thus healthier populations who live longer. It’s very sweet that you think that frolicking in the open country air purifies the lungs or whatever mechanism you think exists that makes rural areas so healthy, but it’s not the overwhelming mechanism you think it is.

Someone should invent a repost function for stories that remain relevant for longer than one day?

Why did you propagate it? Actually that's a rhetorical question and I think you can say "for the joke" in this case, but I think you should have added a second reply with a more thoughtful contribution and different Subject...

But my Subject isn't funny because most cancers are not directly infectious (though some cancers are linked to infectious conditions). Moral hazard time?

I think it's funny because the AIs (including AC, of course) are training the humans to be stupid so they will buy profitable garbage that hurts the customers who bought it and vote for corrupt politicians who will harm the voters who voted for them. In reinforcement terms, shallow, trivial, and I dare say stupid questions get "meaningful" answers while deep questions result in negative reinforcement with increasingly ridiculous hallucinations, falsehoods, and I dare say directed lies. (The directors include Zuck and Musk and Bezos and Xi and f[r]iends, but I doubt any humans will be in the loop for much longer.)

Examples available upon polite request. But there are too many and I bet you can think of plenty of your own without my pitiful human help.

There is a light version of the patch that only does fixes. If you want all of the content you will have to run Windows, or run the Windows version in some kind of VM. You can use protontricks or steamtinkerlaunch to install the provided openjdk and the required windows runtime and then run the jarfile installer, and copy the 4gb patch into the Apps directory alongside the game executable and run

wine 4gb_patch.exe "SimCity 4.exe"

To install the 4GB patch to a clean install.

I am running SC4 in dwproton.

The short answer is yes, but the longer answer is it's complicated.

Devices with back doors may also dial out from your network. It's common for devices to phone home to check for updates and such so such activity is not necessarily even seen as suspicious, though of course in an enterprise context you should be disabling automatic updates and/or reconfiguring them to use internal servers.

Devices which might be malicious should be segregated onto their own physically isolated networks connected only through firewalls with policies for both ingress and egress so that you can control both types of threat. But it's better still when your software and firmware is OSS, and you build your own images and deploy them to the hardware yourself to have the best chance to avoid the possibility in the first place. Even this doesn't completely preclude such attacks, but it does offer some protection (mostly in proportion to the level at which you're auditing the source files, and the percentage of OSS.)

TL;DR: It's smartest to segregate and whitelist traffic in both directions for sketchy devices.

I don't know that it's really "the EEs" that caused the problem. I suspect it's "the regular programmers who found themselves doing embedded programming jobs". They didn't care how it could be made to work, they just wanted it to work. Most of these haven't even been on USB until recently, they were all on I2C or SPI. However there ARE some standards now and corporations should just use them like everyone else. Since they don't, the semi-pro level stuff is superior, I'm pretty sure the RGB controller I'm using is put out by a one-person company.

Sorry your heart is dead, but a lot of us still understand fun.
