isn’t that partially why those who dont want minimum fees look for a credit union that doenst charge minimum fees?

usually with stories of regenerating parts, the hard requirement is whatever is attached to the head regenerates. For example, Namakien body regeneration in the Dragon Ball universe follows that logic.

wait till you visit(or revisit) South Koreas attempt to normalize 69 hour work weeks

faster ram generally has dimishing returns on sustem use, however it does matter for gpu compute reasons on igpu (e. g gaming, and ML/AI would make use of the increased memory bandwith).

its not easily to simply just push a wider bus because memory bus size more or less affects design complexity, thus cost. its cheaper to push memory clocks than design a die with a wider bus.

it really depends on how much you trust amazon on what it records as alexa is an always on(in terms of microphone) device.

which sites ask for IDs?

drugs and alcohol abuse isn’t just limited to pizza chefs, but chefs in general

on the former point, i never claimed it was all disks, I only claimed that it was even remotely possible to stick a disk in and possibly play an og xbox game. Something you couldnt remotely do on the latest playstation (wouldnt boot any ps1 game) nor nintendo for obvious reasons(no disk drive, no compatibility with older cart systems)

whats with this list of games then

its generally just consumers on the consumer OS who have that image of Microsoft.

take for example their Xbox Division. Microsoft is the o nlu company where its possible to throw in an OG xbox game in their modern console and play it (after a compatibility patch). Both nintendo and sony couldnt even fathom that kind of backwards compatibility. Microsoft is also the one who keeps up their digital store (on console) the longest

i choose to believe in the Star Ocean concept of aliens and believe Aliens have a signed agreement not to interact with races that have not fully moved into the space age yet

its the one opening Microsoft wants. if they can manage to be able to get gamepass on the devices, itll get what it wants (more subscribers) in virtue of having more devices it is officially on.

while i dont think it would happen, if it were thrown up in the air, companies like microsoft and epic would 100% be backing it up

in general, assume any conpany where a good bulk of the employees are software engineers to not be unionized. many programmers tend to make significantly more constantly jumping companies, hence the turnover rate and not needing to unionize. Its also kinda ingrained in the hiring structure too as many of the large conpanies contract developers and not hire them outright.

not in a biological sense no. peanuts and almonds are legumes.

Basically there is a difference between the biological and the culinary definition for some foods. For instance a common example is that bananas are berries, and neither strawberries nor raspberries are berries biologically, However the culinary definition would treat them as the oppisite. same idea with Tomatoes (biologically a fruit, culinarily a vegetable)

and U.S slavery isnt even the biggest portion of slavery, its just the most shown due to hollywood. Slavery elsewhere (carribeans, south america) as a much more brutal and underrepresented portion of history in the Americas.

pcs with enough NPU compute power to run copilot locally in a reasonable performance level.

e. g with AMDs current laptops, the 7840 can do 10 tops, the 8840, which is core config/gpu wise, effectively the same cpu but with a larger NPU, pushing it to 16 tops for AI use.

outside of ai use, the one benefit to ai is that igpus are better and more of a focus, so expect low end laptop gaming to get a lot better.

the problem is the bad actors have direct access to said voting machines. in the case of security, the people creating the OS is not the bad actor typically in question when you think of bad actors, which kind of goes back to the goalpost situation. Unless you knew how everything is designed from the ground up (including the hardware code in whatever language it is) then thats just setting an arbitrary goalpost. basically typical NSA backdoor, or foreign backdoor via hardware situation, independent of the OS. To bluntly place it only at the OS stage is setting said goalpost there when you can really apply it to any part of the line (the chip design, the hardware assembler, the os designer, the software maker). Setting it at the OS level fundamentally means all OS’ are insecure by nature unless you’re actively running it on a FPGA thats constantly getting updates.

For instance, any CPU with speculative programming fundamentally is insecure and is virtually in all modern processors. never even mind the CPU when the door is already open regardless of the OS.

id argue arguing the unknown can’t be used to say if its technically secure, nor insecure. If that kind of coding is brought into place, then say any OS using non open source hardware is insecure because the VHDL/Verilog code is not verifiable.

Unless everyone running an open source version of RISC-V code or a FPGA for their hardware, its a game of goalposts on where someone puts said flag.

you can have a propietary os thats secure, but the problem is once you get to the point where youre selling data and allow anything to be installed of course, its no longer secure.
