Well, it's nice to know the GPUs ended up that far away. Goes the show the robbers weren't some small time thieves and was probably part of some organized crime. Too bad EVGA can't physically disable the cards when they go online and get drivers, only refuse to honor warranty on them.
 
For the same reason our political leaders issue apologies and pardons for stuff that happened way before any of us were even alive or before they themselves were in power. Like Scotland about to be pardoning witches executed hundreds of years ago.
Because someone, somewhere, demanded an apology.
While we're smart enough here to know it's not some random Vietnamese citizen who is responsible for the theft of these cards, I'm sure there's someone out there who didn't get to buy a GPU and will blame every Vietnamese they see for it. We just have to see the increase in racism we saw toward Asians people at the start of Covid as proof of this. Unrelated people being blamed for something they didn't do, purely by association.
 
Also maybe they are like us Canadians, saying sorry all the time even when it's not our fault. Like you're the one who bumps into us and we're the ones saying sorry for some reason.

Get rid of the screen. Have a much larger front camera and speakers. That'd cut cost, increase battery life and eliminate the notch.

Was ugly.  Is ugly.  Will forever be ugly.  Make the entire bezel thicker in that area and figure out something useful to do with it.  On my phone, that's where the ear speaker, front camera, and photovoltaic sensor live.
 
If apple is so wrapped around the axle on sound output, put speakers on the top bezel and get rid of the notch.

EN does generally stand for ENglish indeed. 🙂

With enough nuclear power, anything is possible. But, yea, basically, at the scale they need water, you'd need a bunch (10-20) nuclear reactors (so maybe 3-4 plants; 1 reactor = ~1.5 GWe, 1 plant = 4-6 reactors) just for desalination. The plants would desalinate in two ways:
1. Generate energy and desalinate that way
2. Use the heat from their condensers to desalinate even more water.
 
But, that requires building a nuclear power plant, which the world generally frowns upon because light water reactors are *kinda* stupid. Thanks Admiral Rickover! -.-
 
I don't have any particular love for China, but I truly wish them the best with their LFTR designs, and I also wish anyone who wants to build *any* molten salt / liquid metal reactor well. Right now, I think the most realistic path forward for safe nuclear power is actually a uranium-based molten salt reactor. But that's also me living in a world where nuclear proliferation isn't a problem. Sigh. If we'd just stop trying to murder each other with radiation and just make power with it, we could do so much so safely. 😞

I think the title here is very misleading, as is your thoughts on the article.
Cameras in vehicles make sense. They're not really a violation of privacy; you don't own the vehicle, it's company property, really, you have no right to privacy within it. Drivers saying they can't find time to find a bathroom? Bullshit. Plan your life better. Public urination, in a lot of places, is illegal.
 
If it really did reduce problems by 48%, I'm all for it.

pineapples goes onto the pizza
and the pizza goes into the trash
 
and by trash, i mean us

So? I won't move just because graphics cards are a little cheaper elsewhere, so the prices here are the only prices that matter to me.

lol yeah, we'll know to eliminate the stupid drivers.
 
Then that's probably just an American thing. Fits in with how many of them appear on the internet. Seems that the many jokes we make about Americans are more true than we thought they were.
 
No. You can't cycle in parks, nor can you cycle in a swimming pool. Not everyone wants to swim, or always wants to swim. Cycling indoors is definitely very different from outside. It's fun for some people, but others like being outside much more.
 
Also, cycling isn't just for fun. Cycling is also a good method of transportation. When I didn't yet go to university, I always cycled to school. There was no alternative. And that is a good thing, as people should be encouraged to cycle, instead of wasting fuel and adding to environmental issues.
 
And, "my roads", lol they aren't your roads, they're for everyone who's legally allowed to be there. They're also for pedestrians crossing/walking.
 
Where I live, those people are less than 0.001% of the cyclists I see. When I'm on holidays in France or Germany, those people are still less than 0.001% of the cyclists I see.

After looking at some pictures of other people with these displays, that does indeed seem to be the edge of the display, unfortunately. They make it this way so people can get fooled into thinking the bezels are smaller than they actually are.

Also the chart is "per 100.000 population", so already accounting for the fact that the some states have more citizens than others.
 
But hey, that's freedom i guess. (Or whatever lie they tell to themself to feel better about it) Somehow in the US gun law is directly correlated with freedom from what it sounds like. I feel lucky we germans aren't free then...

So 10x the population accounts for >300x the mass shootings in a single year? 
 
Even the idea you guys are being this defensive over a well known, statisticaly verifiable FACT that Canadians kill each other less than Americans. Even with easier access to guns, highly populated and diverse cultural towns just means this will circle endlessly.
 
I'm bowing out to go enjoy my unlocked doors and get smiled at and say hi to the strangers I cross by never having to think they will shoot me. 
Honestly, after covid ends travel to canada and see what a relaxed life feels like before claiming we have the same problem as the states. 

Wow, never thought so many people carry guns or knives around. I mostly just have my wallet, phone and keys.
 
If you need a weapon to feel safe outside, either you live in the wrong neighbourhood or you're just plain paranoid imo...
 
Maybe i'm just spoiled by living in germany and well away from any cities, so the worst thing that could happen to me outside is an insect bite

I strongly recommend you do not try and get a job even if it is legal. Focus on school and having fun instead. You'll have around 40 years of work ahead of you anyway, and once you become an adult you'll really miss the time when you didn't have to work. 
 
Besides, even if you did somehow get a job at subway, the salary would be terrible. Not to mention all the laws surrounding employing children. I really don't think you would get the job even if it was legal. 
 
In any case, in Australia an employer with permit can employ people as young as 13 years old. If the employer doesn't have a permit then the minimum age is 15.
There are separate rules for delivery jobs (like news papers) and entertainment (like child actors) but that shouldn't apply here. 
There are also strict regulations on when and for how long a child is allowed to work. 
You can find more info about it on this site:

yeah it would be fine.

Nope. It's just fine. I recommend unplugging all drives that aren't the drive you're actually installing Windows one, so you're sure nothing important accidentally gets installed on one of the other drives.

The absolute best CPU would be a Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.4GHz, but that would be an insane amount of money. Your best bet is just to find any other 800 MHz LGA 775 Pentium 4 in an e-waste BIN and see if it works.
 
It uses DDR RAM rated up to 400 MHz, so, again, e-waste.
 
It has a PCI-E x16 slot, so RTX 3090 I guess.

When I went from Z77 + i7 3770k to a Z170 + i7 6700k, I changed two registery keys (forgot which, found it online though), and just popped it in... booted first time I believe. I did run into some issues, but some ended up being fixed by updating the bios, and I assume not having installed all drivers 5 years ago would help too. So if you have a second, older computer. install Windows 7 on the drive you're intending to use there, DON'T install any drivers, DO download the USB and Networking drivers and put them somewhere on the drive, flip those two registery swtiches, and when done pop the drive into your newer system.  Good luck!
 
Regards, a fellow Windows 7 lover, who is still inconvenienced by many of Windows 10's flaws, but was practically forced to move.
 
EDIT: this is not what I did, but this might work too (perhaps better even): https://www.howtogeek.com/239815/why-cant-you-move-a-windows-installation-to-another-computer/

Well, presumably, you have a monitor connected to the motherboard displayport port, and a graphics card installed. Conmect the displayport cable to the graphics card instead, it should then work. 

I won't argue with you any more except that you both have very american attitudes. The US is one of the easiest countries in the world to move out of your parents in in the world.
20% of 18-35 live with their parents in the US. More than 35% in the UK, 40%+ in germany, higher in other countries. Clearly it's not easy.
You can also recognise the fire under the pan whether you're the egg being cooked, the stove, or the high af human anthropomorphizing kitchen items.

Around the world, people live with their parents now increasingly into their 30s, even in long term full-time employment.
A house you live in, even with your parents, doesn't necessarily mean their rules. It means a healthy compromise is needed or every party gets majorly ticked off.
Moving out from your parent's isn't the walk in the park it used to be, boomers.
 
Talking to genz as the generation of entitlement when the post-war boom has most definitely ended, and the #1 route to home ownership for young people in the UK is through inheritance, the "move out if you don't like it" rhetoric is definitely showing it's age.
 
For the record, I don't think I'd be a great parent. Which is why I don't intend to become one until such a time (if that time comes) where I feel like I could be one. Certainly however, I'd think I'd be one good enough to at least try and mediate these kinds of disputes instead of escalating them.
 
Do I know if op is spoiled? No. Do I know their parents are bad? No. But I recognize their situation and disagree with it generally. Don't need to be a parent to recognize bad parenting.

If you run beta software, expect issues like these...
 
But honestly, I still don't understand why the OS and your personal files (images/videos) are not separated on Android.
Wipe the OS(and other apps installed), but keep the files in your personal stuff safe... It shouldn't be that hard to code. Even more so with beta firmwares where things can get buggy and require a format.
Even on Windows, MS figured it out (somewhat, still buggy, is not a perfect wipe and driver issues may persist) with their reset feature that basically keeps your User folder intact.

I used a wooden case (with a metal motherboard tray) for years. People always say the PC will burn, but you could happily make a case out of paper/cardboard and run it for as long as you wanted.
The only time a computer case of mine felt warm to the touch was when I had an ITX gaming rig with a plastic top panel blocking some of the GPU exhaust. That is still tens of degrees bellow the temperatures of the components (touching something heated to 50°C is enough to cause you pain).
If you have decent airflow, the case won't even get warm. If it gets hot enough to ignite, something else went terribly wrong and even a metal case wouldn't have saved you.

they are a company with people to pay .
Also hate for Facebook means nothing .
FB is a group that has many companies that you use, those are whatsapp, facebook, instagram, oculus and a few more.
If you like tech you can't do with hate for one or another company
I mean really? what did you expect? to deny that oculus exists?

The worst thing YouTube has done recently in terms of ads is placing them right before a video ends or a few seconds after the video begins.
