Black is USB 2, blue is USB 3, and Orange or Yellow are usually “always on” and/or 2.4 amp or some other kind of thing like that.

I’ve never seen any of the SS 10gig or USB PD icons, but I’ve seen the rest. I’ve got Thunderbolt icons on at least 2 icons and SS USB 3.1 icons on many normal USB A ports.

It’s a user retention thing: if a user is reloading a video repeatedly while they’re trying to serve an ad, there’s (probably) something wrong with the ad server, so the best business move is to send them to the content they came to see, unmonetized, so that they will continue to use the platform in the future where you can monetize their future visits.

Need to give it a quirky name.

I’m okay with it if they do some kind of open source GPL style license for the copyrighted material, like you can use all the material in the world to train your model, but you can’t sell your model for money if it was trained on copyrighted material.

The sweet spot is the 40-60% load.

But it doesn’t make that much of a difference. The efficiency swing is maybe 10%. Like an bronze 80 rated PSU will have a minimum efficiency of 80%, but even if you’re at the 50% load mark it won’t be over 90% efficient.

The main point (to me anyways) is that its dumb to pay more for a power supply just so you can pay "more* on your power bill. If your idle load is 100W and your gaming load is 300W, you’ve got no reason running more than a 600W PSU

I remember the trustafarians in college 20 years ago that would claim your hair naturally cleans itself and it doesn’t smell.

They always smelled.

You only have to show your boarding pass for the tax breaks that come with traveling internationally.

And charge people for over the air software unlocking of features that are already part of the car but they “didn’t pay for” when they bought it.

The Vikings invented rap battles?

No matter what, there’s gonna be bad blood.

A landlord that owns a streaming service who tries to argue that usage of that streaming service allows them to not be sued by fucking up your food order.

It’s been a decade. They’ll live.

I’m not pro MS. I’m pro not feeding Google.

I feel like this is similar to arguing that Exxon is bad so it’s better to buy gas from BP.

Both are shitty options.

A lot can change in 13 years, but a company that starts off morally evil does not magically get better as time goes on. If anything, they’re worse - we just don’t have the luxury of knowing exactly how yet.

my theory is Bing is better because they are hungrier and anything that takes away market share from Google is good

If you think Microsoft is in the business of innovation and healthy competition, you’re wrong.

I think it’s mainly just conventional thinking showing up: there’s an assumption that everyone that is going to vote will vote, therefore if team A is behind team B, the only way team A can win is if they take votes from team B.

I hear my colleagues speak like this all the time (and they’re quite educated and intelligent). I don’t think it’s the media trying to paint a picture where the left needs to be more right/center, I just think they’re writing articles in terms that their audience understands (or at least understands well enough to be able to sum up in a headline to get that valuable click for advertising)

Obviously our election numbers are more complex than that. You can convince eligible voters that werent going to show up to actually show instead. Convincing the other side to stay home is another effective method. Passing legislation that prevents the other side from showing up is even more effective, which is why we see a lot of voter suppression things going on.

It’s all tied to the old military thinking.

Russian soldiers are not fighting for Russia. Russian soldiers are fighting for their generals. Similar to how Roman armies worked, or… well, really like any army worked until we got to the nationalism level that eventually lead to WWI. One of the most effective ways the generals got their troops to follow them was allowing them the “spoils of war”. Good ol’ raping and pillaging.

By comparison the Ukrainian army is unified in their fight for Ukraine. They’re not fighting for a person, they’re fighting for their people. All the fighting happening inside Russian borders isn’t to secure loot, it’s to end the war so they can go home.

He’s far from a typical C-suite.

He’s decided to use his 25 billion to create a startup for AI powered zero-coms suicide attack drones.

That’s not normal.
