One of the main storyline NPCs is a well thought out and respected trans individual.

Seems like they put about as much thought into the naming as the JKR put into naming a lot of her non-white characters…

Basically all megacorporations do that to everyone. Treating humans as just another sort of capital is a basic part of their existence. Doesn’t mean you should ignore the problems of funding these people.

But what if you also are forced married to the security first?

Given my consumption of video games tends to be through small twitch streams and the streams I watch tend to play lots of indie stuff, I at least get the impression that Indie games are what I hear and know most about. Like, I didn’t even know Astro Boy was a 3d platformer until I saw it being speedrun at GDQ this winter.

I feel like the huge success of games like Balatro shows how indies already have a lot of peer to peer spread. That said, I suspect there is a luck component to going viral and that other solid indie games are being ignored for mediocre AAA games. But it’s hard for me to tell how popular games like Uncle Chop’s or Cobalt Core are because I see far more people playing them than I do people playing games like Star Citizen or even Black Myth Wukong.

That said, there certainly are some indies that are hardware intensive, but I don’t think I’ve seen any that are GPU intensive. But simulation games like Dyson Sphere Program and Stonehearth certainly can benefit from a beefier CPU or extra RAM (the latter partly due to a memory leak).

As long as they can convince advertisers that the enough of the activity is real or enough of the manipulation of public opinion via bots is in facebook’s interest, bots aren’t a problem at all in the short-term.

What do people’s genitals have to do this this?

How is being trans sexual? Even if its using a slur to refer to them…

Balatro.

HM for Satisfactory - haven’t play it yet, but spent a lot of time watching others. Nine Sols and Uncle Chop’s Rocket shop also seemed pretty cool.

I’d like to be able to run my 3 4K monitors without compression via a single port and still have the option for one to be high refreshrate. Things like spreadsheets benefit far more from the increased resolutions than shows anyways, imo.

When you’re clients are a handful of companies who will more aggressively change insurers than consumers to save a penny and have their own legal teams, it becomes harder to price gouge or illegally deny claims.

DST means you also have things like CST vs CET and given some places start DST earlier or later than others and some ignore it all together, we probably have at least 50 time zones.

Always fun trying to schedule international regular meetings when suddenly there’s a week when half the people’s times changed and the other half’s times haven’t yet, so you try to figure out which time would exclude the fewest essential people.

I only program non-seriously for work on occasions and I’ve rarely used copy/pasted code. Except maybe some of my own code because of using lazy logic trees to deal with variation in the data being processed. Doesn’t need to be pretty or efficient. Just needs to work well enough so I do a less manual work.

Kilo comes from greek and has meant 1000 for 1000’s of years. If you want 2^10 to be represented using greek prefixes, it better involve “deca” and “di”. Kilo (and di) would be usable for roughly 1.071508607186267 x 10^301 byte. KB was wrong when it was invented, but they were only wrong for decades at least.

Just checking an art degree guide: https://catalog.mit.edu/degree-charts/architecture-course-4-b/

One of the classes that can be chosen is: 6.4400 Computer Graphics, which has a programming 101a/b class as a prereq (granted, it uses python instead of C++, but pretty sure they used C++ as their language-of-choice for the programming 101 language until recently).

Given the variety of digital art (video games, VTube avatars/VR avatars, more traditional-style digital art, etc), having the tools to make those kinds of things can be useful for making responsive/interactive digital art.

You are probably expected to buy like 100+ of these at a time.

Biggest HDDs are like 28TB max atm?

Given how many years its been since the first 100TB SSD released, anything short of 200TB seems kinda meh. Honestly kinda figured we’d be past the 400TB mark at this point, but I guess those sizes simply aren’t that interesting from a business perspective even if just as a halo product not meant to actually sell much.

Its pretty cool. Number go up is exciting.

Gen-1 through Gen-7 CPUs also still work despite lack of TPM. If it was about trying to force the TPM thing, even just using AXV2 instruction requirement would have limited it to only Gen4-7 running without TPM. I’m sure there’s other ways they could try to limit installs with the TPM-check disabled.

Specific software requirements for work is the main reason for me.

Also, last time I used linux, it kept breaking, so I had to reinstall the OS about once a month and I had no clue what kept breaking it.

IMO, it’ll probably still be slow at a lot of things. The gen-6 i5-U laptops we at my job use have SSDs and 8GB ram (granted, also running windows because required for some software) and they’re still really slow compared to things like my personal desktop and laptop. Boot times are fine at least, but web browsing isn’t as quick and responsive as I’m used to (<2 seconds per page). They probably take more like 10 pages to load pretty basic pages (no videos).

Still, probably a ton faster with an SSD than without one.
