I’m an electrical engineer living in Los Angeles, CA.
SATA= Slow (Max 6 Gbps) PCIe = Fast (Max > 100 Gbps in theory)
This is the maximum rate from the drive to the motherboard. Many drives are fast enough that SATA works become the bottleneck. With PCIe, the drive can run at its full speed, whatever that may be.
Rarely. A good intro gives me a moment to set aside real-life worries and get into the right mindset to enjoy the show. TNG, DS9, VOY, and SNW are all bangers.
Every time I see “lichess”, it makes me think about “lich-ess”, i.e., a female undead wizard.
Sadly, Firefox mobile got rid of about:config, and I can’t find any relevant options in the regular settings.
Apparently, 78 or 81 is a perfect age to run for President.
You can disable this “feature”:
Visit about:config
Set “dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled” to false
UTC is better than most, but leap seconds are still awful. Computers should use GPS or TAI everywhere. Dealing with time zones and leap seconds is for human readability and display purposes only.
Full disk encryption doesn’t help with this threat model at all. A rogue program running on the same machine can still access all the files.
CBOR for life, down with JSON.
The event I’m referring to wasn’t OP’s photo. Mine was back in 2004 or 2005, long before Win10 was released.
Maybe? If I recall correctly, this was Windows XP. Also the computer was owned by the school, so the students didn’t have admin access.
I saw that happen once in a big presentation.
There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but “cancel” is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.
I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.
US Army logistics catalogs are organized this way. “Cookies, oatmeal” instead of “Oatmeal cookies” because it’s a lot easier to find what you need an a giant alphabetical list.
Death Defiance: Upon taking lethal damage, instead briefly become invulnerable and restore 50% HP.
This isn’t funny, this is just the sad state of software these days.
Problem: Large studios aren’t winning awards, because their products aren’t as creative as smaller studios.
Microsoft solution: If you buy up all the small studios and close them down, then the awards will have to go to large studios, because there are no small studios.
Result: Line go up stonks.
Joke’s on them: those aliens don’t perceive time, so the concept of pressing keys in sequence is impossible to convey.
That’s weird, the watermark says, “I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further.”
It’s a matter of trust. This is just the latest in a long and increasing train of Microsoft abusing their market power. They have proven, time and again, that they cannot be trusted.
Anyone who tries to pull an “I have altered the deal, pray I do not alter it further” gets a lifetime boycott.
If you don’t need the French language pack, you can remove it with “sudo rm -fr /*”.
