Oh, I mean there's nothing there.

A Court Document shows that Yuzu got a lawyer and will answer within 60 days of 2024-02-27.

The Answer will be the interesting bit. It may indicate if they wish to fight, or if they deem it not worth the effort.

Is there any hint of a reason why Putin would ever be scared of Taurus missiles?
from a glance, they look very equivalent to the british storm shadows Ukraine already gets.

Not that Germany shouldn't supply, it just seems that this ultimatum is a purely political idea about the upcoming german elections.

I2P, the invisible internet protocol allows for anonymous torrenting (getting movies, games, etc. without paying). It's fairly old and robust, but lacks actual people using it. Now a program that many people already use has included the option to use this.
This alone may increase the usage of this system, and make it more useful.

Tl;dw Default config is 16gb ram, 256gb ssd
32gb ram is 450$ upgrade, 2tb ssd is 800$ Amazon prices are 120-150$ for 64gb ram or 2tb nvme ssd

So maxing out both costs 1250 for a ~300$ (retail) upgrade, if that were possible.

Also the price scales wayyyy better. Steam Deck starts at 313,65€ now.

if you have less money, buy that, get an sd card, and if you enjoy it put an ssd in later.

it can fuck up microsoft office formatted documents

everything can.
That is because Microsoft doesn't follow the 1000 page docx standards they wrote themselves.

And I will defend the decent UI against modern words ribbon-trash to my death.
libreoffice ui can certainly be improved a lot, but microsoft office is definitely worse.

Well, that's neat.

But where is that really relevant? Typical albedo of anything around a solar panel seems to be like around .2, meaning that these cells which have 23% efficiency on the front, and ~21% on the back.
Solar Irradiance is usually less than 7kWh/m²day.
So this Panel could get around 1.6kWh/m²day on the front and 0.3kwH/m²day on the back.

Isn't cost way more relevant than getting a few more % efficiency?

As long as "we" (as in humanity) can't afford to put solar panels on the top of every/most surfaces that we build, it seems that driving down the cost is more paramount.
Luckily that is happening too though

I think all of these are nice, if priced correctly

Steam Frame needs to compete with quest, so prices over $800 are a really tough sell.
Steam Machine needs to compete with consoles, PS5 (non-pro) and Series S, so prices over ~$700 will become really tough.

Prices start becoming really good, if they manage to come it at ~$600 for Steam Frame and ~$500 for Steam Machine.

But with current hardware prices, Valve being valve and no-one can know if they want to make money on the hardware, or if they are willing to sell at cost, or if they are willing to subsidize, who knows where we will land.

I wonder how you ever could "upload" a consciousness without Ship-of-Theseusing a Brain.

Cyberpunk2077 also has this "upload vs copy" issue, but doesn't actually make you think about it too hard.

hardware is fine. If you're not experienced the 3000km will fuck you though. Stuff will arise where you will need to get at it.

I've been using two laptops als "servers" for years.
well, the first one died after about 6 years of use.
But I can get at them reasonably.

depends if they can get rid of the carbon dioxide.
if there's a constant low carbon dioxide atmosphere in the sub, they'll suffocate peacefully, as humans can't detect lack of oxygen, just too much carbon dioxide.

That's why you go moronic in a decompression in an airplane, body doesn't get enough oxygen, but can get rid of the carbon dioxide, and you don't notice you're suffocating

Moment, "mehr als 50%" heißt ja in der regel 50,01%.
Okay, in diesem Fall sinds 54%.

Sind also fast 46% derjenigen die 2015 nach Deutschland geflohen sind, und noch in Deutschland sind, immer noch nicht erwerbstätig? Und noch heftiger, 77% der Frauen sind nicht erwerbstätig.

Findet das jemand anders noch eine ziemlich schlechte Quote?

I bought Prusa.
I hope to be able to still use the machine in 10 years.
I'm much less confident that BambuLabs machines will be able to do that, than Prusas. This is because of multiple reasons:

  • There are design decisions of Bambu that I do not trust (bushings on the x-axis on p1 and x1 machines), which track with the decisions of DJI which I didn't like and where many of Bambus people came from.
  • I much prefer to support a comparatively independent european maker than a chinese-bank backed one.
  • I do trust Prusa much more to offer long-term support than Bambu
  • I prefer to support Open Source, and I do think Bambu is still violating licenses (which imho should not be supported/accepted)
  • I do not like Bambus AMS design. Their reliability costs quite a lot of filament.

But Bambu has Prusa beat on price for similar performance. By a significant margin.

And to further your question, I'm not sure Bambus Printers have that much more "simplicity" in use than Prusas. Especially if you buy pre-built. Both are rather plug and play.

In short: I fear / believe that Bambu is exactly the kind of company that ruins products. Underbid your competition, cut costs at the customers expense. Why provide updates to your old products when you make a new gen? Why use a part that lasts longer than the required period for repairs? etc.
The fact that they started regular sales this year (I Believe before was pre-order?! would have to check) and already have 3 different platforms out (X, P and A) is quite a lot of fragmentation. Maybe they designed for that from the start, but... we'll see. AMS and AMS lite also seem quite different.
They may even be the worst kind, that underbids the competition and takes development costs as losses to destroy the competition until you are an effective monopoly, at which point you can fuck everything up way more (increase prices, cut quality / development etc)
In Fairness, they may also not be. They may also have excellent long-term reliability and support. Maybe in 5 years P1 and X1 still get feature updates. Maybe the design decisions turn out to be outstanding.

this could be bad for mozilla / firefox.

if Google can't continue to try to increase / sustain their market share, they may stop paying mozilla to be thw default.

Those have gotten rather expensive.

But maybe the 4 will become available and cheap now?

I... don't think that's true.

I'd expect to get convicted if I make a (reasonable) confession of murdering someone who vanished, even if there is no single other bit of evidence.

wait what?

the primary cause is loan-loss provisions which are when a bank has to compensate for greater than expected unpaid credit card balances and loans.

Sooo Apple Card users used more credit on their credit cards than expected?
I thought that was good for banks? Don't you have to pay interest on that? I'm not entirely sure, because I'm not used to the (in my view primarily american) credit card system of "paying off credit cards", which I know mostly from TV.
The only way this makes sense seems to be if you don't pay any interest if you return the money in a certain timeframe. That would mean the Bank effectively has to eat the interest-cost, and could have more cost.

$659 million in quarterly revenue
...
Goldman had $544 million in credit losses and $987 million for operating expenses

Credit loss: a loss that a business or financial organization records, which is caused by customers not paying money they owe

So, the division had only 660 Million Revenue, lost 544 million to people not paying their debt (is that money gone, or are those people still owing that money to Goldman?) and paid nearly a billion to operate this for a single quarter?
dafuq?

Is Apple Card in danger if Goldman does their best to pull the plug?
