Open source is about ideas being freely shared and iterated on. Open hardware has benefits, making a lot of things more accessible to people. It’s not the end all of sustainability, but it doesn’t pretend to be either.

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. Going to try it out today, thanks!

The article seems to imply that speed is relative to the star who’s nova formed the black hole. That speed from the headline is seen only for moments after formation.

Discord movie night with some friends. Double feature of First Wives Club and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

I don’t believe it’s possible for a CA to decrypt TLS traffic with their private keys. They sign a site’s public key with their own private key after verification but are never given the private key itself. Public CAs only provide identity verification, they do not take part in the encryption process itself. Let’s Encrypt is perfectly safe in that regard.

I see season 1-9 packs on both IPT and TL.

“Java bad” is a pretty long standing meme. I would guess that most peoples’ only experiences with java are in school and in monstrous, ancient corporate codebases.

To be fair that’s a pretty recent development. Jellyfin apps for smart tvs are only just becoming stable enough for real use. Plex was the only option for a long time.

Digital assistants are good for timers, turning on smart lights, and sometimes playing music. None of those things require a large language model to spit random text back at me.

Do you want companies to follow the law or not? Why even have truth in advertising laws if no one is going to enforce them?

There are quite a few creators who are primarily funded off patreon and release content to YouTube. I imagine a group like MCDM (Matt Colville) who has patreon, merch, crowdfunding, and products doesn’t really care about ad revenue.

I disagree. Each distro is a user of a thousand different open source systems. When a distro developer integrates gnome, systemd, bluez, or whatever other system they’re finding, reporting, and possibly fixing bugs that end users might miss. Other than arch users, who else is compiling these things from scratch and really digging into the documentation?

No, modern cpus are really good at managing themselves. If you’re not seeing crazy high temps then it should live out its natural life (which is possibly forever, I’ve never seen a cpu die without a really traumatic external factor).

The headline gives a bad first impression but I think the text itself has an interesting point. As it stands right now (in the US) the AI gatekeepers can’t copyright any of their output. So each and every piece of generated media is one more piece added to the public domain pile. Most of it is worthless but if there’s anything worth building on someone or someones can do that.

Given that you’re on a budget I would seriously consider keeping that 3060 for the moment. You can plan on a case and power supply upgrade that would handle a more powerful card sometime in the future.

For a CPU I would take a look at the AMD Ryzen 7800X3D. The 3D cache tech from AMD is pretty huge for gaming performance.

Witcher 3 is probably up your alley.

Heat doesn’t really exist at an individual particle level, it only describes the average kinetic energy of a large number of particles. “Normal” evaporation occurs because all the water molecules are jiggling around fast enough that sometimes some get knocked off at the top and fly away. The theory from this paper says that light can strike a single water molecule just right that it breaks off without help from the others.

Saying this is “without heat” means that the light isn’t simply increasing the average kinetic energy at the top of the water and speeding up the rate of “normal” evaporation. They think it’s specifically acting on a single molecule at a time.

I put a decent amount of time into shadow of mordor but didn’t finish the story. The combat is fun and dynamic, there’s lots of vertical traversal, assaulting strongholds is pretty cool. The nemesis system is silly but fun, it adds a lot of personality.

Denuvo is a very complex anti piracy system for games that is pretty controversial. There’s a lot of evidence that it affects performance and it forces games that wouldn’t otherwise need Internet to be activated online regularly.

It’s the kind of thing that a reviewer would mention and that some people would use in their buying decisions. Sneaking it in after launch is going to make some people pretty mad and I’d feel used as a reviewer.
