My Marantz SR6015 uses a 100Mbit NIC too. Not that it matters with music, but still... And it's not like that receiver is low-end either...

Beyond the calm, this news is exciting!

Animation worked quite well for the B5 adventure released a few years ago.

I'm optimistic that this new Firefly will be really good.

I'd think an NPU is faster than a GPU. I'd like to see the difference in benchmarks though. According to what I've seen it's coming this year for RTX GPUs.

Prohibition was repealed.

I don't disagree. Personally I think the Federal government got too powerful after the civil war & we really don't even have the same type of government that the founders envisioned.

I'd be somewhat in favor of an Article 5 convention so long as any changes had to be subject to a vote like the President is elected. The Electoral Collage system is absolutely brilliant & gives the individual vote maximum power because a handful of voters can change the outcome of an entire election. If people really want something they need to get out and vote. If you stay home you can't complain if the other side doesn't.

Anyway, good luck to us all.

Well you're not wrong. Most people forget the 9th & 10th amendments and what they actually say.

9. The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
        - Basically saying, "just because we listed a few specific Rights here, that doesn't mean those are the only ones The People have."

10. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
        - The Federal Government is not permitted to just assume new powers because we didn't specifically restrict it here. If it's not specifically listed in this document the government cannot do it.

How far afield of these rules has the Federal strayed? How much longer will The People tolerate it?

Wait, what?

The Constitution is a restriction on the powers of the Federal Government, not on Anthropic. The Federal Government does have the ability to "regulate commerce" under what is called the Commerce Clause in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3.

I'm not sure what particular law(s) c/would apply here - if any - however I'm certain various courts might have to render a judgement.

I can confirm Canada has been doing it for a while too. Same strobes...

More an annoyance than a bug, but for people that use the night color shifting, in Win10 it was a smooth transition between day and night colors. They found a way to crapify it in 11 by having it change colors right away, no more transition.

And they even found a way to break the news and interests feature if you move the start button to the left. If I hover the mouse over the widget on my main screen, it's OK. On my right monitor, it pops open on that monitor's left side. If I hover the mouse on the left monitor, it pops open at the right of the center monitor and stays there unless I go click it. Move the start button on the taskbar's center, everything works as it should.

Are they even testing updates? And why in the heck does it take 45 minutes to do a system restore? It's a 22-core Xeon running of an NVME...

If enough people stop buying them, that trend would stop. It should works as well as stopping buying inkjet printers did.

Assuming they know the location.

Target one of the ghost ships or submarine in the Atlantic?

Probably something like building a car from spare parts. I dunno, but even at 0.10$ a piece we're looking at over 350$. I know the plastics are not the same quality, but my Megablocks 1701-D was not even 100$ when I bought it.

Yes it's more detailed than my Mega blocks version, but 400 dollars is a lot of money in canadian pesos
