Same. The thing lacking is user base and content. Also a backlog of older content as knowledge source, but that would come overtime with through the former.
As far as usability goes Iemmy is just as good as reddit was for me. My instance (lemme.ee) is stable and the app experience (currently “connect”) is just as smooth as it was for reddit (where I used “relay”).
I sadly have to admit that I don’t contribute enough in terms of creating and posting threads.
It’s a ton of money when comparing it to mainstream electronics, but I’d imagine that $300 single payment is a drop in the bucket for something medical. Anyone who needs it probably spends similar amounts or more adapting other everyday things for ease of use.
It’s a niche probably low volume product that requires a good amount of hardware and software engineering.
I mean there definitely are some valuable metals in there, but I can’t imagine that this is a competitive price to pay for them, especially since extraction wouldn’t be easy. And some parts do have value, even if it ends up being the case that running the full cluster isn’t economic anymore.
I do wonder who at this point could use all those processors (and Mainboards), but the ram might still be reasonable to use, maybe the cables, the cabinets themselves too. And I think the video also mentions that there are two managing servers. Those might be most likely to actually be useful for their original purpose.
Ian Cutress recently did a video on the topic here (I think he changed the title to reflect the end price of the auction), which does a bit of a breakdown. You for example also have to add shipping costs (from a certified company) to the price.
Pretty crazy to think that it is actually not sure whether spending less than 500k on a supercomputer is worth it. Goes to show how far technology has come.
I guess if everything sells you might make profit, but then it also comes with a lot of hassle and risk. And for actually using it, I imagine that electricity cost would be a huge factor.
Bloat and bad performance aside, you don’t see a benefit in having a all-in-one solution that in a way acts as a drop in replacement for people wanting to switch away from the likes of Google/Apple? I certainly do.
Yes, having a dedicated app selected for each use case will likely give better results. But it also means more management. And many users don’t actually need more than basic functionality.
But yes looking at the complaints, they should look at polishing existing features first.
Downside might be that this requires a good internet connection, which depending on where OP travels might not always be available.
This seems a bit impractical. 2 phones to keep charged and manage.
Depending in your use case can’t you just get some external USB storage?
It is unclear how it intends to house a higher concentration of people considering the proposed length (and therefore area) has been massively slashed.
I got a brilliant idea: extend it slightly to the sides, maybe in a round shape. This allows for a more efficient way to house a high concentration of people.
When all we had to do was pass a law that defense chips had to be produced in America
Are those actually using leeding edge chips? Unless you are also including data centers in here, I think most military tech probably uses mature nodes.
The NSA might need the latest chips to have as much performance for processing data as possible, and you probably also need huge data centers for the development of stuff. But you don’t need 3nm chips to put them in cruise missiles or even aircrafts.
Sponsorblock, which unpads the vids.
Not sure if i’d say that Sponsorblock upads videos, or at least it only does so partially. It does remove in-video advertisement and selfpromotion, but it doesn’t (and can’t really) change anything if a video e.g. has content to fill like 3min, which gets drawn out to 10min.
Personally I don’t understand it either, but I think the thesis is/was that Tesla isn’t just a car company.
So beyond just the car business you’d also have the vertical manufacturing including batteries, eventually autonomous self driving, the charging network, and even at people’s homes stuff like the solar roofs.
How that ever made them more expensive than basically the rest of the car industry combined I don’t know.
I could see the high evaluation if they have a lead in self driving, but they don’t have any edge compared to their competitors including Google/wamyo, Mercedes and so on
Yeah, i’d have also loved if we moved to an “opt-out” system or one where you are asked to choose at some point.
If we had more than enough organs for everyone we might be able to afford the “luxury” to not adress the issue, but we don’t. And compared to the very real consequences this deficit has, it really isn’t a burden to reverse the burden through opt-out or at least force people to choose. Not making a choice has just as much consequences, if not more (since it leaves it ambiguous for others that might later have to make the choice for you).
And as you said the majority probably has no problem being a donor, but the default state is a form of apathy/lazyness/ignorance. So like with many other issues a top down approach would be way more effective, compared to putting the burden on every single individual to be proactive.
I am not registered, but I have a organ donor card (where I approve organ donations).
Background:
Germany just recently (18th of March this year) launched an online database where you can register your preference. Until then there was only a small organ donor card that you could fill out and carry with you.
Reason I haven’t registered there yet is that I first need to unlock the online function on my passport (nowadays always enabled, but I still have one from when it was optional). So I’ll eventually get around to doing both.
As for my reasoning behind being a donor:
I would like to receive them in an emergency (or for someone I care about to do so).
And in case I become a donor I am not there anymore to care about what people do with my organs.
I haven’t used it, but maybe look at Cockpit? You could install it on your generic Debian server and it would give you a nice gui and tools, while letting you do whatever you are currently using it for.
I am using openmediavault for my NAS, which seems reasonably lightweight and is debian based. If that fits the bill
I agree that it is about market power, but one could make the argument that Xbox/PlayStation have a duopoly similar to iOS/Android.
Although I think PlayStation dominated with roughly a 70/30 split worldwide (higher in Europe). Nintendo is somewhat in its own category imo, since they mostly do their own games and don’t directly compete in that sense.
But I guess in a way consoles also compete with PCs.
I’m European so I might be biased, but I haven’t really heared anyone “complaining about the Americas having no distinct culture or ancient structures”.
Once again, girls are somehow responsible for boys’ inability to behave
That’s really not what i am getting from this article at all.
made the call because they believed that 11 to 12-year-old girls and boys competing against each other on the court could pose a liability risk leading to violence, even though the girls team had been winning 7-1 all season without incident.
they may get frustrated and retaliate against a girl.” "Then we have liability issues.”
McGraw said the girls were never in any real danger during the games, aside from the occasional side-eye.
“They got giggles, they got laughs, and people talked about them… you know, the looks.”
[emphasis added]
Where “once again” is the boys inability to behave? All i see is adults wanting to dodge POTENTIAL liability.
Beyond that there is the question about their participation in the league itself. Here there are as i see it two sides:
They participated through deception (listing as mail AND apparently fielding a male team in the first game)
Or one can be on the side that the system is broken and they should have been allowed to participate in the first place.
Again something that adults decide. Not sure if we have enough information to judge this properly.
Not sure why i spend much time on this nonesense, especially since i find this to be a pretty poor article (as is any that just randomly quotes social media users to make its point).
By banning porn. Out of all the things that could motivate people to search for alternatives, this might be the most durable driving factor.
Outside of that I think it will be a slow decline in quality. Eventually quality content will decrease more and more, and low effort memes and bot content will take over.
I never had an Xbox and probably am not the target audience, but I can definitely see the value proposition.
Seems great for casual gaming with a very low barrier of entry. Who knows how long game pass retains the value it currently offers, but until then there is nothing wrong with enjoying it.
Personally Xbox never was for me because PC is just very different (I e.g. wouldn’t want to play strategy games on a console) and if I were to get an additional console it would likely be a PlayStation since the exclusives usually seem stronger.
For me in some ways it is even more telling how there seems to be no attempt towards a constructive solution with the West Bank. If anything they are making things worse with the illegal settlements.
That wouldn’t be an easy task either, but leagues easier compared to getting anything productive done in a hot conflict like what is currently happening in Gaza.
