  1. I was expecting exotic choices. The only one I haven't used is the Apple Lightning connector. At least, I don't recall having used one...
  2. 32GB on my Win11 Desktop, 16GB on my PopOS laptop.
  3. I'm 38 and have been watching since Linus was a goofy kid, now he's a goofy adult. I think what you're calling a loss of friendship between the two is just exhaustion, tbh. They still seem to be friendly, but both are Chief officers in the tech industry, one's company falls under the others. Maybe the real thing that needs to happen to get the spark back that's missing would be for them to step back from management and just be creators again, or for the current creators to be the main hosts of WAN instead of the chief officers who clearly have less time to research the things they are talking. It feels like they are covering topics that their employees care about more than they do, so why aren't the employees on who are passionate about it as opposed to their bosses who are now just reading their scripts?
  4. Not really. It says that cars communicating with one another to create a networked warning system is necessary. It's not a matter of how many were on the road but the factors involved in individual crashes and the at fault party. The "crashes per 100M miles" a lot of folks try to use is a misleading metric. It's collected for overall numbers, but trying to extrapolate anything beyond that from it is a fallacy. It doesn't factor in the difference between highway vs side street miles or hardware failure vs driver fault. Either way, though, any time a self driving car death happens it's pushed to the front of a media blitz because so many are terrified of change and money is made in reporting it. If all transportation fatalities were reported the way self driving car fatalities are we'd have far safe roads, stricter laws, harsher penalties, and more difficult driver licensing tests. If nothing else, the critical reporting will generate even safer self-driving systems if people scared of advancements in technology don't enact laws against these innovations.
  5. Rural areas in the Netherlands do not compare... The proximities of rural and non-rural areas are not comparable. In the U.S. you may need to travel three or more times the total length of the Netherlands to reach an urban area from rural area. You don't understand the scale. Population density isn't the issue, it's the vast distances.
  6. The Netherlands aren't comparable to a large sprawling nation like the U.S. or Canada. Most people have no concept of the size and distances between places here or how vast the rural areas are. The entirety of the Netherlands is about 1/4 the size of an average sized state. Or, in other terms, the Netherlands would be equivalent to the New York Metro Area and suburbs (Less than half the size of New York State)... an area that has public transport in the U.S. I'm not talking about places that small. Rural in the Netherlands would be considered the suburbs in the U.S.
  7. Did Twitch's private keys for payment processing leak as well?
  8. Autonomous electric vehicle fleets are the answer for providing effective public transportation in areas that aren't metropolitan. What's the point of public transport if it takes a rider a longer time to get to a stop, and then from the stop to their destination than it would to drive themselves to the final destination anyway? Bus systems and metro rail do not work in rural areas or sub-urban sprawl. That's why only metro areas tend to have them. Smaller cities may have bus systems, but they tend to have very specific circuits that include hospitals and retirement homes, not really an effective option for the average traveler. Additionally, buses and trains must continuously travel their circuits even if no one is riding, or if the one rider has no interest in stops C through F. They must still travel those. Autonomous fleets would provided faster point to point travel in lower density areas and use less overall resources to stay active and meet demand.
  9. When I worked for Blockbuster back in the day, we had a device in the back that wrapped and sealed game and movie cases so that when they were on the floor they'd be sealed and appear unopened. I'm sure there are similar devices in the wild.
  10. Does your monitor run at one refresh rate without VRR and a different refresh rate with VRR? My monitor only runs at 60hz with Freesync off but 75hz with it on. But, if I don't go in and increase my refresh rate to to 75hz in windows display setting I get stutters as the game runs at 75fps but Windows is locking the monitor to 60. Took me a bit to figure out the problem.
  11. Sounds like Mario Cart SNES or the first F-Zero..... pretty sure it's a racing game of that era...
  12. I told her she could put them on the side of her bookcase. This is what she made with no prompting or assistance.
  13. Has there been a breakthrough? Last I heard it still wasn't viable because graphene can't be switched "off"
  14. Thanks, with game sizes blowing up my 500GB game drive, I'm needing to start using the HDD for games I play less often. I'm hoping it makes an improvement.
  15. If I have 32GB of RAM, would I get any benefit from pairing a 120GB SSD with my 3TB HDD as NAND cache? I was told that with Windows 10 any extra RAM is automatically used as RAM cache for the HDD and I wouldn't see a benefit... Edit: I'm running my OS from a 512GB M.2 SSD and have a 500GB SSD as a gaming drive. The 3TB HDD is a storage drive. I have a spare 120GB SSD, but would need to buy a PCIe SSD adaptor to install it and check to see if it's better or not.
  16. Hi, I just ordered a mechanical keyboard for the first time, I'm considering it a starter, lol. It's a Rantopad with Gateron Blue switches... I guess I'll see if I like it when it comes it...
  17. https://fold.it/portal/node/2008926 Any interest in fold.it here? They've turned their resources towards SARS-COV-2 antiviral proteins.
  18. So, uh, time to turn off the HVAC heat and let the PC's heat the house? I currently have 15 thread and an RX 480 running one one PC, and 3 threads (i5-7300HQ) and a 1060 6GB Max-Q running on the laptop. I have a couple of R9 290X space heaters I could pull out if it gets really cold, lol. Edit: OK I just got an addition 7 threads and an R9 290X running as well...
  19. I thought it was a great way to do it and hope they keep doing it. I'll be looking for her or someone like her in future videos now
  20. Their APUs use a different branch of the Radeon software than the desktop GPUs. Here's the driver suite for the 2400G https://www2.ati.com/drivers/rv-win10-64bit-whql-radeon-software-17.40.3701-feb12.exe Here's the page the link is found on the AMD website. https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-for-Ryzen-Desktop-Processors-with-Radeon-Vega-Graphics-Release-Notes.aspx
  21. Disregard, it was one of the most recent posts on their news feed, looking closer, it was from 2017. They've posted no news this year, lol. I had disabled CPU tasks from PG and selected CUDA only, could have been my problem...
