Only started using twitter because Elon Musk owns it, I didn't even know the President of the United States of America had an account if the media was open a fair why would he even need to tweet?
 
If you don't like it move on to another platform and please remember to boycott all his stuff. More Teslas and starlink bandwidth for the rest of us.

So you feel there are hundreds of thousands of people a day just saying to themselves “I think I’ll just get rid of a perfectly good car for no reason at all”? and cars are somehow magically different from basically every other man made object on earth that way?  There is ALWAYS a reason a used thing gets sold.  You may feel this is not true, in which case I suspect there is a very long line of people trying to sell you something.

I just read this a few weeks ago in a NRC report. I live in a town in Ohio that experienced one of the worst (mostly unknown) nuclear radiation spills of all time so we have lots of people here that work in the industry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernald_Feed_Materials_Production_Center
A small part of the radioactive leaks was the most radioactive waste known to man (K-65) leaked from silos that was 100ft from a road and was in direct contact with our drinking water it was covered up and ignored for a decade. People think it is safe and clean but that's only because the authorities hide the many many accidents. The wiki doesn't even cover half of the stuff we as a town experienced, from lies to corruption the government can't be trusted with radioactive waste disposal. One of my favored clips of the medias discovery of the spill was mayor of nearby Cincinnati Jerry Springer (yes the talk show guy) grilling president Ronald Reagan on the tarmac when he landed here to review the site about why this was covered up and the president just keeps saying "I only know what THEY tell me"
 
Beyond that nuclear power generation is very inefficient we are taking the planets rarest elements and burning them in a fire to make steam drive a turbine. It is so rare in concentrated ore form that current prices and consumption are only guaranteed for the next 100 years, we only have 100 years of ore at cheap rates after that element recovery/mining jumps 100X. The water pumps that are now filtering and cleaning up the spills from production of fuel will require more energy than the fuel that the plant made.
 
The real solutions to the energy problem is hundreds of years away but in the mean time to get us though we need to interconnect PV with kinetic batteries kinetic batteries might even help with water shortages, forget about wind it relies on lots of gear oil for the gear transmissions. Relax laws on micro hydro and educate the communities that can leverage it. Stop Tesla owners from drag racing every BMW they see, JK but no really just stop it I get it everyday unless it's a $200,000 platinum you will lose.  We just need to work towards better bigger energy production and be more efficient with what we have.

In regards to this topic, I will not be holding my breath for Nuclear Fusion anytime soon.  With the advancements in material science and knowledge I do think that it might be possible, but the simple fact is you see news stories like this every few years about fusion.  Until proven otherwise, I will be cynical of any solution where the company tries claiming they can have a commercial reactor in like 15 years.
 
That does create an issue though moving "all nuclear".  If everyone went all nuclear we would very quickly hit a supply shortage and also hit the issue of running out of enrichable uranium.  Apparently, some of the commercial PV's have hit $0.06/kWh with a pathway to $0.03/kWh which would also make it less feasible to go all Nuclear. [https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/sunshot-2030]
 
This article says 230 years (based on discovered and estimated undiscovered uranium) at 2009 levels [https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-long-will-global-uranium-deposits-last/].  Currently we have 10% nuclear (not sure if it was higher in 2009, could be).  If we assume 20% back in 2009 though, that would mean converting to all nuclear we would have 46 years.  If you consider 10%, that would be 23 years.  Based on the world-nuclear.org though, 2009 had 438 plants online and 2022 had 440 plants online so I'm assuming the 10% number is about correct.  Based on current known supplies of uranium though the numbers drop to [current year 230->~100, all nuclear (20% current) 23 years, all nuclear (10% current) 10 years]
 
Really the solution is to have a blend of all of the renewables and nuclear.  It's the most realistic way.  Nuclear is important and needs to be built, but we cannot realistically bank on it as a complete solution because in the worst case it can only buy us an additional 10 - 20 years to build out the other solutions.

If you can't wrap your head around the problem of manufacturers releasing similar or identical named products which are not even close in performance, you are part of the problem. This level of ignorance is just astonishing. A clearly named product stack does not take anything away from you.

One does not discredit the other.
The vulnerability got patched, and you know what you can do with devices that don't have the luxury of being updated to the newest Android Version? Install a custom rom.
 
What can you do with an Apple product that no longer receives any updates at all? Buy another one, that's it.
Hell, even Microsoft still pushes updates on OS'es they stopped supporting for years (XP) to mitigate critical vulnerabilities.

This is an excellent point. By the concept being spoken about here, everyone who rents an BnB has to use a new netflix account. 
 
Because: They "can't use the owner" or "anyone else"'s account, yet they can't use their own because it's outside their household.
 
Now, I'll point out the obvious. Airplay/chromecast and use your own device that already has netflix on it. Sure, you only see standard definition on the TV.

It will result in fewer extra subscriptions than they hope. It's expensive and people have less money now than last year.

I have a bunch of Razer Mouse naga and hex I found a red one with the lava- it is the only Mouse I have found I can hold, I have two titanium implants from one of the wars in Afghanistan. Being partly disabled has forced me to be very specific when it comes to the settings in the Razer software. I was competitive in FPS in early 2000s so losing my hand I lost a lot. I have all the x y speeds set so I can actually use a mouse like I did before my hand was blown to heck with a Nokia trigered IED. I love that I can take my mouse to any place with a pc or any Android phone just plug it in and it works the same with the same settings, the ones I own have a storage space on them with the software.
 
Microsoft should get there crap together.

lol no thanks. ill keep driving diesel till i can no longer do so. 
there is one thing you EV supporters seem to forget. Power usage. Imagine if all of europe all of the sudden went EV. there wouldnt be enough power to supply everything and we would have a dark age. And heck even as the users of EV is rising here in europe countries are already having issues upkeeping the powernet. Heck the EU wants to add chargers every 15km along highways. Thats gonna be fun for the electric net as well. oh and lets not forget the roooooows of people needing to wait to charge their car. 

sorry but nah. till they fix every little issue with EV ill not buy them. Any diesel can still waay outrange an ev. And be more efficient. and cost me less per km i make. Come back to me when ev cars can make 1200km and cost 30k with enough power and so fast charging that it only takes 1 minute to 2 minutes max. 

and yes. the environment can get my middlefinger. especially since countries expect my tiny country of the netherlands to be leading the pack in climate neutrality. f that. 

The largest SMR drives I have is for a PLEX server I think it's 8 TB x2 Raid 0 (because I'm a made man) and when they cascaded rewrite it takes like 15mins for the system to realize whats happening as it locks up and freezes and the drive sit there at max. 20TB SMR drives can't be a usable thing unless its cold storage IMO.

"When a user needs to rewrite or update existing information, SMR drives will need to correct not only the requested data, but any data on the following tracks. Since the writer is wider than the trimmed track, all data in surrounding tracks are essentially picked up and as a result will need to be rewritten at a later time  When the data in the following track is rewritten, the SMR drive would need to correct the data in the subsequent track, [potentially] repeating the process accordingly until the end of the drive."

God i hope this flops badly and in their faces. This is supposed to be clarifications ? Nope this is nothing more then PR BS, so in other words I call BS. I have a perfectly good machine (based on the i7 6700) which does absolutely everything it needs to do, and has worked without a problem with every system i used it that was done right and not an updating mess.
 
I said this before but definitely going to stick to windows 10 up till at around 2025 and in the worst case scenario go to linux and using virtualization for some past gaming (even in a VM enviroment i don't plan to install 11) past that. Of course that's the worst case scenario, because honestly if enough people aren't playing the role of sheeps hearded by the "great" MS and just plan the waiting game and ignore windows 11 you will see microsoft doubling down on this crap in a heartbeat to recover their user base, maybe even put some effort into delivering an actual decent version of windows again, not this limiting crap that feels at best an android Mac OS limited rip off.

RIP finding good working mobos at the scrapyard. 100% of all the intel LGA mobos that would work great are destroyed because LGA is fragile and the socket cover never gets put back on. I find piles of good Z170s and have taken the time to repair a few but they are mostly all destroyed pins, so much E-waste. I find an A320 in the gaylords and works every time.

PCIe PLX chip. They are used to provide more electrical PCIe lanes while sharing PCIe connectivity back to the CPU. Exactly the same way the chipset on Ryzen works, the chipset provides a bunch of PCIe lanes but there is only a PCIe 4.0 x4 link between the chipset and the CPU.
 
Some motherboard models come with PLX chips on them, rare but they exist.

Well he's not wrong.😄
 
Also, shots fired in last november
 

This pisses me off, seriously.
 
If you're a miner, and you intend to buy entire warehouses of these things, problem solved. Buy 10k of them, run them in a fairly closed system in your warehouse at the North Pole with this particular driver, and rake in cash until the market crashes.
 
OTOH, if you've a gamer who wants to make up a little money on a card you probably had to overpay for, you're going to want to update your drivers for games, security, etc. But if you want to mine, you're stuck with this one driver. 
 
Perfect example of why the program doesn't benefit the gamers Nvidia said they wanted to help.

Knowing how high and mighty YouTube thinks they are,the developer will probably get ignored.
And there are the bizarre cases of whatever the algorithm does to your account unjustly,stays even after a human reviews it,like the algorithm is some kind of god.
We should be making a movie about Google as a cult that believes in the stupid and evil algorithm that rules the world.

Dell PowerEdge R710 ,  2x Xeon X5680 I somehow got stuck @ 4.1ghz using some random Xeon cock program from a sketchy site,  270 GB Ram,  4 DP RX560 (AMD Eyefinity),  6X 5TB (30TB) SAS, 4x NEC x463un "military grade" 1080p TVs labeled "Fort Bragg"
 
Server was $75, tvs where $15 per, AMD GPU was overpriced at $210. I made the stand from 2x4,2x6 scrap

EVery time I read about Google AI working on crime statistics they talk about how the results are racist and then gut the AI to get the results that fit their narrative, because everything and one has one now, so maybe with her gone we can get real unbiased data.

The cards are meant to be sold, and that's the end of the discussion. 

says who?
 
Miners are customers too. Why are "gamers" more entitled to new GPUs than anyone else?
