RAM is a commodity, so if this stuff is produced in large quantities, it will affect the global market by lowering China’s demand for imported RAM.

Same as oil and gas, even if North America will never import Iranian product, their prices are affected by that stuff not reaching the market in Asia or whatever and driving up the Asian demand for oil elsewhere.

Toyota is way too conservative. After nailing hybrid tech early on, it seems like they wasted the opportunity to put it on every vehicle they make which would have been such an amazing step forward, instead of treating it as a weird niche for so long.

Also that bz4x or whatever deserves a spot on the worst cars of all time list, just straight up ewaste.

The problem is Matt Mullenweg, he’s the source of all the drama (and to quote someone else, he’s Musk, but coded in php lol).

There’s a good long form write up here: https://joshcollinsworth.com/blog/fire-matt (Sorry, not exactly a tldr, but I found this article this interesting)

It maintains the same temp, even when hot water temp or pressure is changing

I can’t speak for everyone but here’s what mine like like:

This is such a gross move from MS, that will inevitably create more e-waste, just like their dumbass TPM 2.0 requirement.

Having said that, if anyone is looking for a solution (that isn’t just switch to Linux lol), I was able to turn my ancient Canon laser (with very tricky driver setup), into a driverless airprint model by using a raspberry pi as an intermediary.

You can connect your usb/wifi printer on the pi, and through cups/ avahi, host an airprint server on your network for any devices (desktop, laptop, phone, or whatever).

I think I used this guide before: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-airprint/

Right? If someone didn’t buy the OG Steamdeck at 399, years ago, they’re not likely to pay almost double for something that’s pretty long in the tooth at this point.

It’s a PET bottle lid that is attached to the bottle so you don’t lose it, a unique piece of their culture I guess lol

Honestly, this is such a nice silver lining, my 3080 that’s like 6 years old is still working fine even on newer titles since no one is making/ buying better cards (or cards with more VRAM) in large quantities.

I can’t remember having a GPU this old that was still relevant, my old 780ti was so limited by its 3gb vram.

I have a zojirushi rice cooker that’s similar and I love it!

Other then that my oven, coffee maker, kettle, kitchen fan all have the same shrill beep that’s hard to know what’s what.

No joke, this is exactly why I cancelled Spotify and went back to piracy!

They “”accidentally“” started playing ads one night, didn’t apologize or offer any refunds, and it was the easiest decision ever to dust off my pirate hat and not look back.

No regrets!

Absolutely pathetic by EU leadership. We’re still 10 years away, with plenty of time for them to retool their factories, and come out with new models, and they’re already giving up (“””pushing the date back””” lol).

Steam deck has basically always been out of stock in Japan online. The Komodo reseller has done a terrible job here, and I hope that when Valve releases the next gen of hardware (machine, frame, controller) they’ll have the foresight to work with someone better, or sell it themselves.

I’ve bought/ imported a ton of electronics hardware for both personal and work use, and Komodo is not good.

There’s an Interesting history of American cars in Japan. Ford had an incredible failure here, and had to leave with egg on their face, which is incredible because the mandatory vehicle inspections every couple of years make it the easiest country on the planet for dealerships to make money.

They tax vehicles by engine displacement though, so all those massive engines would be super unpopular, and as I understand it, they also shipped left hand drive cars here, which is absolutely unpractical.

One wonders why they didn’t just ship UK market fords here, they have the steering wheel on the right side, and the smaller size would be more likely to appeal to drivers with more narrow streets.

It is common to see chargers and mustang on the road in Tokyo though, but they’re all grey market imports.

they'll will generously take out their malicious code and stop their thievery.

I think you’re being too generous, they likely changed a flag to disable this temporarily, so they can hide from the current news cycle and attention, while also watching what happens with the Honey lawsuits, before turning this back on.

Characters from resident evil video game. At least in RE4, you play as Leon and there’s a mysterious woman in a red dress who drops in occasionally to mess with you.

Apparently she keeps taking care of herself afterwards, but Leon winds up as a bum lol.

Kind of similar to Ash in Pokémon who remains a kid, when Misty becomes an adult and moves on with her life but in reverse.

Ddr4 is apparently out of manufacturing at a lot of places now, so it’s even more affected (at least in my market, prices rose more then ddr5)

No joystick drift

I can’t speak for you but my N64 joysticks were destroyed by Mario Party mini-games, haha

Still miss my wavebird, although pretty sure it was early 2000s..
