Some rambling about Apple and EU:
Imagine how fun it would’ve been if Apple just dropped iPadOS for the EU region completely by remotely flashing the iPads in there with an iOS or some software-less Darwin distro with an OTA update just so that they would not have to be compliant with the whole EU regulation thing… Unfortunately, we live in the world where even Big Tech dystopian overlords are such pussies at times, especially when it comes to some possible income loss.
Not trying to be an Apple fanboy shill who stands all of their ugly moves, but I do have a disdain to the fact that a standalone private company’s work gets controlled by a completely foreign entity that decided to extend its obscene (and I do find the fact that telling a manufacturer what ports should its tech have to be an obscene and dangerous precedent) powers upon those to whom it has no relation and demand something beyond the sane international standards.
Having a lifelong experience with a quasi-authoritarian regime (to which Google was and Apple is still more or less obedient, btw), I can feel the Big Brother vibes from kilometres afar, and the USB-C thing reeked of it — but the people were ignorant to that because they have got a better port to their devices (I wonder what would’ve been the public opinion if it all happened decades prior, with alternative universe iPhones having FireWire instead of state-enforced USB 1.1), because of course — every draconian control starts from a harmless-looking tiny regulation done with a “we’re for all-things good and are against all-things bad” kind of premise (that’s a Russian idiomatic expression, close to the “think of the children” Western expression, that points out how the corrupt politicians always make their decisions look nice in the eyes of the masses) so that a silent majority would be ignorant enough not to care about the supposed freedom infringement.
“Oh, surely, that is not gonna happen because the EU bureaucrats are just caring about the customers rights!”
Well… look up for the wonderful “Chat Control” bill, brought to you by the same institution, the enforcement of which has brought some good old mass surveillance over the entirety of EU’s population, and especially those who are using VPNs and other anonymising software because “children”. And that’s just the tip of an iceberg.
So yeah, I do find this whole “EU vs Apple” thing to be terrible.

I work for DHL right, but like a smaller site than massive 400+ employee facilities. We still have to do all the same stuff that corporate wants regardless of scale. So we a do a lot of dumb shit like maintain 3 whiteboards and an 82” view sonic smart board to present productivity information to my team of a whopping seven total people. Because all DHLs have to.
Well today they want us to use their own internal social media thing including profile pictures, a biography, and listing hobbies and stuff. And I was told I can’t have
Bio: doin’
Skills: your
Hobbies: mom
in my virtual profile
and that my cat Microsoft profile picture was “unprofessional”
blow me, you know how many people I email who have their default font set as cursive scripts?
this is objectively evil

Y'all are doing the most, never had a single issue with DHL, literally got a jacket from the factory in Pakistan to my doorstep on the third floor in suburban Philadelphia in 72 hrs.

Literally how my brother ended up with a 75in Sharp Aquos TV, the company he did effectively boomer support for was like "these things are stupid, uy raffle tickets and someone wins the stupid big TVs in the conference rooms."
It now sits mounted above the standalone fireplace in his friend's rowhome because it's obnoxiously big and only fits on the lengthwise walls.

Clicking random ads to send ad providers on a wild goose chase is the best decision I've ever made
I've gotten ads for Islam (who's profiting off of giving away free Qurans?), ads for a show in French, and ads for PRIVATE BIRTHING ROOMS

I've always got the tactics of know how search algorithms work. If you are always being tracked, make them do the work for you.
I'm looking to buy this widget: search for 10-15 min, then completely ignore. 24-48hrs later: the best deal has been found via Google ad tracking.
Also, the ADHD has it confused as well, be unpredictable, live in chaos.

Direct die cooling my 7950x3D with an NH-D15. Initial impressions, no increase in cinebench r23 scores in either a full 16c/32t or 8c/16t CCD0 at only 80C. There's a limitation somewhere that isn't going to -30mV on PBO (didn't POST) I haven't found yet.
-
There's a hard TDP and/or voltage limit that's preventing it from all core boosting past 5.1GHz, even with -40mV with just CCD0. Anyone know of any way to remove TDP limits on the 7000x3D CPUs?
So far, its proving that a direct die 7950x3D is objectively better than a 7800x3D since its CCD0 has a 2.0x higher multiplier. Average boost clock on several cores >5.05GHz

I finally picked out my new profile... Gif?
Thanks to everyones suggestion, I'll be keeping that list for next time I don't know what to use it for because there was some amazing suggestions.
@Poinkachu I'll definitely be using my ducks next time, I just need to get some really thin string because I have an idea in my head about what I want to do.

I have a monochrome-only VGA cable - a few weeks ago I didn't realize it was monochrome-only and grabbed it off my rack to test a Quadro card I'd picked up. I thought there was something awfully wrong with the card, it would output monochrome compatible things like the BIOS and POST screen just fine, but when it got into Windows everything was a huge red mess. I did some troubleshooting on the card and then realized that in fact I am stupid

OpenAI might launch a search engine later this year (maybe in the coming few months?). Some rumor suggests they will hold an event next week.
In a podcast ~two months ago Sam Altman talked about how they (OpenAI) are interested in exploring integrating LLMs with a search engine.
Yesterday someone noticed that the domain search.chatgpt.com had been registered and a certificate had been created for it as well.
Might not mean anything, but I thought it was an interesting observation.

but they... they already licensed ChatGPT to Bing......

I would absolutely be more active walking shelter dogs. Like the lab we had growing up (lives with my brother now) anytime you said the word "walk" would b-line for the door and sit there ears slicked back doing the excited whimper while his tail whipped side to side. And then once we went on the walk, the little ear bounces as he does the "oh boy I'm on a walk, I'm on a walk!"
Meanwhile our elkhound wanted to do like a 1/2 mile sprint and then get picked up in the car and go people watching.

That's been a huge thing for me. With my wife here only half the time sometimes it's hard to self motivate. I grew up with dogs and always had dogs until I moved out of my old roommate's house(in 2019). However, with my work schedule I just can't have animals. I'm gone half the year. The day my wife moves over to the states she's bringing her cat and we're getting dogs once the cat gets settled in.
We had a 3/4 wolf growing up that loved spooking our horses whether we were on them or not. Dog knew not to hurt the horses, but he'd still do the slow crouch walk through the brush. Horse would see "predator" and spook. Even my old Arab mare that I could do just about anything on including shoot guns would get spooked by the wolf dog.

It was funny watching the two of them growing up, elkhound had STRONG prey drive, lab had ZERO. We found out he'd take a mouthful of food, and then drop like 1/4 of it for his mousey friend (tons of field mice, 2 acres and then a 30-something acre nature preserve about 200m back from the property line. Meanwhile, we'd see a mouse scurry, look over to the elkhound Molly, and go "mousey, mousey, mousey" and she'd start tracking and trying to catch it. Loved hunting stinkbugs as well which was always an adventure. She also managed to catch two birds out of the air while running around in the backyard, quite the impressive feat to see her go low and fast for the first, and then the second one leap into the air and snatch it.

Yeah, his class average falls around 65-70 each year, and the last time I took it with him, the average for the final was a 52%.

So some context first: Yesterday was election day of a bunch of city and county councils
So picture a stereotypical French man, complete with the stereotypical French beard and beret…
now picture him with the stereotypical British accent (not the stereotypical dinner at the palace one, the stereotypical tavern one), Yea, this was the guy knocking on my door at ~5pm asking if I had voted, and if I had voted for their party.
If this is the guy running whenever the next election is, I'm definitely voting for them

The single time I tried Linux on my old tower, and I went to get AMD drivers, it was like "are you suuuure you need AMD drivers? Like ABSOLUTELY sure? Not Nvidia?"
5700G iGPU uses amdgpu driver, which it should come with kernel itself but iGPU drivers dont come with pve kernel. AAAAAAAAAH when you fix whole lot of jank, then you cant pass it to vms then recover the host video output back.
I was just about to go insane just decided not to use gpu passthrough anymore.

Oh my god, it's a ThinkPad in an Apple TV show!
(Seriously, it is outrageous, because all of their shows have an excessive amount of Apple product-placement, and this show in particular (For All Manking Season 3) is happening in an alternative universe where Apple Newton was a huge success and everyoune is using its colour-screened next generations)

That's fair, looks like a mid-00's thinkpad, though, and they're just clumsily designed
The series happens in an alternative universe where Soviets got on the Moon and did it first, which caused a massive technological jump as a result of continued Space Race, so the tech is all-different (hence the fact that Apple Newton has a color screen, as I mentioned in the post). They also don’t use CRTs in the 90s at all. So my guess is that 2000s ThinkPads became a thing 10 years earlier…
