I wanted to propose that WH40K make a new Chaos God of Capitalism…and then I thought about for 5 seconds and realized they did. The Emperor. The Emperor is a god of capitalism. Which is an interesting (to me) perspective on the franchise. So, thanks for that random completely unrelated Lemmy comment.
If they’re considering optical media, typical BD-R, while viable, may not be be the best choice. BD-R M-Discs would probably be a better choice for backups. Especially if they’re planning on needing access to the data over a period of decades, which would be potentially useful for familiy photos/videos and critical documents.
They are more expensive, as is the drive needed for them, but not by enough to be out of reach or even unreasonable given the additional durability of the discs.
The article mentions that previously they used pig cadavers with dyes and specially marked tissues to guide the robot. While it doesn’t specify exactly what the “lifelike patient” is, to me the article reads like they’re still using a pig cadaver just without those aids.
I mean if that’s the case I’ll switch back to Windows just to remind Satya of what his company’s name truly means.
You’re free to say whatever you want. Platforms are also free to not rebroadcast your speech. Both statements can be true.
There is no clear definition of what constitutes a moon other than it being a body that orbits another body that orbits the parent star.
There are some astronomers who say the dividing line between a moon-planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system and binary (or more) planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system is whether or not the barycenter of the orbits is within one of the bodies or not.
And fun fact: if that definition gained acceptance, it would mean that the Pluto-Charon system would go from a dwarf planet-moon system to a binary dwarf planet system. Charon could get a promotion.
Some large asteroids have moons too.
Assuming your math is correct (and I have no reason to doubt that it is) a mass of 10^16 kg would actually be a pretty small moon or moderately sized asteroid. That’s actually roughly the mass of Mars’ moon Phobos (which is the 75th largest planetary moon in the Solar System).
no no, the end user will somehow find the exact position in which the switch starts arcing and then they’ll work by the light of the fire in their walls.
It will run Doom. Doesn’t matter what “it” is, someone will make it run Doom.
Probably not what you’re looking for, but you could make one yourself.
I’ve tried submitting recategorization requests through the links provided by my workplace on the block pages. The requests have been denied.
If I’m remembering right, it’s a Symantec web filtering solution that we use and they’ve decided that my domain is in the “personal blog” category. Which is a blocked category. Jeff Geerling’s website actually falls under the same category, which also kind of sucks, because I like reading some of the stuff he puts out.
pretty much the only reason I still use Plex is because I like to be able to watch stuff during downtime at work and plex.tv isn’t blocked on the work network while my private domain is.
And no, using a hotspot off my phone on a personal computer isn’t an option, both because the security requirements of my job site prevent us from using personal devices in the main area where I work and because the building itself is a massive concrete structure that blocks most cell signals.
With regards to Ciri’s age, she’s 21 during the main events in The Witcher 3.
At the end of the books she’s 17.
No idea if they’ll play down the salaciousness or not, but given when the game will likely take place that at least won’t be any issues with the main character being a minor.
Is an assembler not a compiler for an assembly language?
Is saying “I wrote code in assembler” not functionally equivalent to saying “I wrote code in GCC?”
Note: this is a genuine question, not sarcasm.
OLED alone even without HDR adds a noticeable difference in contrast ratio. Meaning blacks look blacker even when right next to bright whites. HDR improves that, provided you have HDR content to enjoy.
An issue with some (much) older OLEDs was burn in, but at least in my experience, with more modern displays that seems to be much less of an issue. A lot of displays have a burn in reduction feature on board that seems to generally work well and the actual LEDs have gotten more durable as the tech has advanced.
I have an OLED display hooked up to an old rpi running my homeassistant control panel. It’s been displaying an essentially static image for nearly two years without any burn in.
Personally, I’d recommend an OLED monitor. If you can afford it, go for high resolution and high refresh rate. If you primarily watch video prioritize resolution, if you primarily game prioritize refresh rate. Though you may have issues going over 120Hz on Linux.
As for your DE, Mint should support KDE Plasma and you should be able install it like any other package. Might be worth looking up a guide for that. However, I won’t recommend against switching to Fedora. It’s what I use and I haven’t had any notable issues and their documentation seems pretty solid.
I’ll believe HL:3 is real when it is for sale, purchased by me, and played in it’s entirety. And even then it might just be a particularly vivid delusion.
HL:3 is gaming’s dark matter. Until all other possibilities are definitively ruled out, it’s not HL:3.
To cover all possible HEDT use cases? I’d probably go with a 4U server chassis with dual Epyc 9575F’s, 1TB of RAM, 6x 8TB u.2 NVME drives, 6x 20TB SAS HDDs, 3x dual port 100Gb Fiber NICs, and 3x dual port USB 4 cards. Then for GPUs go with 1x 7950xtx, 1x RTX 5090, and 1x Radeon Pro V710.
Then I’d divide the CPU cores and RAM between three VMs running on Proxmox, with the number of cores and amount of RAM each VM gets being based on the specific workload. I’d use PCI pass through for the NVME Storage, NICs, USB cards, and GPUs which would be split evenly between the VMs. The SAS storage would get one dynamically sized VHD for each VM.
Then I’d have the 7950xtx VM run Fedora. I’d use it for gaming and everyday use.
The V710 VM would run RHEL. I’d use it for development and AI workloads.
The 5090 VM would run Windows 11. I’d use it for video editing, CAD, rendering, and other graphically intense pro workloads.
The PC itself would be water cooled, with the radiator on the door of the rack and a rackmount AC unit blowing chilled air through it. The exhaust from the AC and the PC case fans would be ducted outside.
For access to the VMs, I’d use a rack mount USB4/DP KVM switch and USB4 fiber cables to three docks on my desk connected to appropriate monitors, keyboards, and mice for their respective tasks.
For access to the PC itself, I’d use a rack mount terminal and an additional low end GPU, probably an Intel ARC card of some sort.
All of that would cost somewhere in the realm of $100,000 USD. Not to mention the fact that I’d have to buy and probably remodel a house to accommodate it.
Or scripts for basically any other variant of the Bourne shell. They are, for the most part, very cross compatible.
They don’t have to wholesale switch, dual-booting is an option.
