In 2009 amd, facing insolvency, sold its entire mobile graphics department to qualcomm for a measly 65million that technology went on to become snapdragon. It’s one of the only things that kept amd going at the time, but qualcomm got insanely rich off it.

It’s rather poetic to now see intel face a similar decision. According to the article intel is also planning to spin it’s chip manufacturing out to its own company which is also what amd did with global founderies around the same time as selling to qualcomm.

Would ssh -X username@localhost work?

And also consider that even if you block out the ad the people around you probably haven’t, the most effective ad is the one your friend saw.

pffftt guns can never be the problem, we need to add the safety label to the ovens!

There’s some cool 5.1 and even 7.1 stuff in classical music (I don’t have a a surround sound setup myself but I hear a lot of talk of it).

You can also use a water bottle or watering can, although I can’t really recommend that experience but that’s what people who are socialized to use them do when they can’t afford/install a proper one.

I always thought of it more like “give me some motivation to add more stuff” in that “I turn coffee into code” sense.

I totally agree, I object to the idea that people will just needlessly waste ambulance resources.

It’s just not really true, when I broke my foot (as a Canadian) I didn’t really consider an ambulance, because I didn’t need stabilizing or healthcare on the ride over and i probably didnt want to go to the ER over UC during the height of covid. I just hopped in an Uber, which got me there faster, why would i want the whole gurny and flashing lights. There are certainly people who would have called an ambulance in my situation (and plenty of situations where a broken foot warrants an ambulance too) but there are also plenty of rich Americans who would do that too.

I know this isn’t the point but avast is more or less malware itself these days. The bundled windows defender + the free (not always running) version of malwarebytes is a good enough solution for almost everyone.

I think it can be helpful to separate “built in” gui tools with everything else, having them all under one letter accomplishes that.

Disney releases new movies with new characters pretty quickly. I don’t think they have even exhausted the first movie yet.

Konami has been in the casino business for about as long as it’s been in the video gaming industry.

It’s pretty easy to make them use faux swearwords and then you can just apply a find and replace over that.

If sfc is finding anything with any regularity then your hard drive is probably failing (or maybe malware).

Mercury didn’t win a medal but was given an honorary one for winning the freestyle orbital revolution in a record 88 days.

that happens regardless of whether you have an account.

Well craigslist in my area is kinda dead so Facebook market place is the only place to do local buying and selling. It also acts as a lowest common denominator, I find someone on facebook send a few messages until we agree on some other social media to continue communicating on. Then My family uses What’s app and has done since before they were acquired by meta. Getting them to switch is something I push for, but I’m not holding my breath.

Amd has always run really lean in terms of employees which hurts their quality imo. In 2016 (a year before ryzen 1 came out amds lowest point quality wise) intel had ~100k employees, at the same time amd had a little over 8000 and supported a wider portfolio of products, today amd is up to about 30k and it shows (although until last week intel was also up to 130k)
