That would affect the buyer's rights with respect to the seller, not not his rights with respect to the gaming company.

Does your company not have water coolers or a modern equivalent? I may not always want to have a human interaction with my coworkers, but if I'm going to have one it's going to damn well be like a human being.

I wonder whether this is legal. Riot has the right to ban players who cheat, but maybe not the right to misidentify them based on the hardware they are using. In this case, since the game is free, there may be no contract of which this is a breach. In the case of a paid game, it seems that it would be a breach of contract.

Teams crashes reliably whenever I start video on my laptop. I haven't noticed this very valuable feature in any other similar program so they're clearly inferior to Teams.

I will point out that celebrities typically buy coastal houses on bluffs overlooking the ocean

Bluffs aren't a great place. They collapse.

Using celebrity behaviour as a gauge is also not a great idea. They do all sorts of stupid shit. When a celebrity buys a multi-million dollar house on a beach or a bluff they're thinking "this is cool, let's party" not "is this a secure asset I'll be able to pass down to my children."

That's how it normally works. The subprime mortgage thing happened because banks discovered they could make those risky loans and then sell them to other people for a good price by disguising how risky they were by packaging them up and selling them as securities.

Which is kind of ironic considering the OP's comment about banks still providing mortgages for coastal properties. Apparently they're selling them more and more to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation which... packages them up and sells them as mortgage backed securities.

What DRAM fab do you think has unsold capacity?

There isn't really any such thing as a DRAM fab. You can make DRAM at pretty much any of them, including the one in that guy's shed. There are some that specialize in DRAM. They all have unsold capacity, DRAM-specialist or not. The typical lead time is apparently about 18 months. The DRAM manufacturers (including in this story) keep saying they're "virtually" booked up for the next year. So you can call them up and schedule a run in a year, or 18 months, or maybe next week depending on what "virtually" means.

The OP is claiming that memory fabrication is "worse than OPEC" because nobody else can make memory. This is obviously not true. Intel is contemplating it. Many memory manufacturers have started up in the past. Most have gone bankrupt or been acquired. The limitation is that nobody wants to go completely nuts building new fabs that are very likely to be under utilized two, three or five years from now. So they're "only" increasing capacity at 20% per year. For context, world oil production capacity increases by a couple of percent a year and refining capacity, which is capital intensive like chip fabrication, by more like 0.5-1%.

Indeed. Who controls all 3 branches of government?

Jews?

DRAM is a commodity in both the actual sense (the stuff from different sources is pretty much interchangeable) and the sense you've described. You, literally you, can ring up someone who runs a contract fab and ask them to make you some DRAM. It's pretty straightfoward stuff. Here's a YouTuber making some in his garage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?....

There are a bunch of boutique DRAM producers. They're small scale and do specialty stuff (the actual high end DRAM). The commodity stuff you want to buy is dominated by a few companies that are vertically integrated, super efficient and make their money on massive volume. They also switch around a fair bit because during booms like this one making memory seems like a great idea, but then there's a bust and half of them go broke. SK Hynix alone started out as Hyundai, merged with LG's memory unit, got booted out of Hyundai during a bust, got bought by a conglomerate, bought out Intel's memory unit, and is currently a major producer.

But hey, it's boom time so Intel's talking about making memory again, CXMT is firing up and the majors are all building new fabs as quickly as they can borrow the money to pay for them.

A general named Randy George would normally be a good influence in Hegseth's army but the guy wanted to know why Apache helicopters were buzzing Kid Rock's swimming pool, and you just can't tolerate that kind of killjoy.

This is the guy who fired the Army's Chief of Staff who was championing a battalion drone unit that was drawing on experience from the Ukrainian army and learning how to operate on a modern battlefield. In addition, the former commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa was also in full support of this unit, but he too was fired by Hegseth.

One of the reasons Hegseth fired both generals was because he wanted to "refocus" to "help ensure the army revives the warrior ethos, rebuilds for the modern battlefield and deters our enemies around the world."

Well golly gee, that sounds exacly like what the drone battaltion was doing until you got rid of it then fired all the generals who supported it and put in your lackey. Now comes this announcement.

Now we're being told of this new command.

Incompetence doesn't begin to describe the drunk.

Who won the 2020 election?
Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

Was what it did when I asked.

It does have valuable information, but after the changes it will all be behind a wall. Just like so many other sites.

You think it's unreasonable that nighttime brightness has doubled (actually 1.5x) over the last ten years?
