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.

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.

Well seems like all car companies are somewhat subsidized/supported. I don’t know how difficult to detangle the presumably many different levels of that are, especially internationally.
But if the EU were to subsidize “just” 500$ per car sold, and China 50.000$ per car, it would be impossible for european car makers to compete on an otherwise equal field.

Now I have no Idea how supported which markets are, and I’d presume I grossly exaggerated the difference, and it may well be the other way around. I have not found detailed analysis of this though.

It depends.
I’ll use some abstracted and simplified version to explain my point of view.

If Wakanda and Middle Earth mine Vibranium (which is Mithril btw), and both sell internationally for 100USD/kg+shipping, both get similar market share, depending on details like proximity to the customer, different grades, personal preferences etc.
Wakanda now invents a new mining laser, which reduces their cost/kg to 85USD/kg.
Middle Earth doesn’t want to lose the entire market and risk an uprising of the dwarves, as they just lost their entire industry. Middle Earth decides to pay the drwarves 20USD/kg of exported Mithril, so that they can try and improve their efficiency, and still keep their families fed.
Now Wakanda is undercut, and losing massive amounts of sales, Companies start layoffs, and Wakanda injects 20 Million USD in new refineries, increasing their output.
People not just internstionally but even in Middle Earth start buying Wakandan Vibranium. Instead of constantly increasing support, Middle earth decides to put Tariffs on Wakandan Vibranium, to protect at least the national market from Wakandan influence.

but only as in the modifications to Falcon 9 to make Falcon Heavy, right?

surprisingly not most of the time I checked.

Laptop/Mobile x86 seemed rather competetive to Laptop/Mobile ARM in performance/Watt

The cynic in me still thinks SpaceX is doing this without any indication of a FAA certification before November, and are solely doing this to put pressure on the FAA.

Releasing a single image after legal cleared it, is completely different from not doing enough for anyone with a camera renting a helicopter to take snapshots of whatever is left.

from memory I think it’s for example combustion chamber / injector design which is the crux here, none of that is visible, but could be from different angles.

I wonder what the effective radius of these things was (and what it wad expected to be)
low amount of explosives + low density shrapnel may have made this basically a touch-distance weapon.

We can reliably screen for HIV (all blood donations are) why the fuck are homosexuals discriminated against over this.

except that the tests are (per cdc) up to 90 days late in detection. So you may get infected and spend 3 months testing negative.

And judging by OPs being german, where the rule (admittedly only since 2021) is “you may only have fucked one guy for the last 4 months”, this seems like being on the safe side, but not completely excessive to me.

I’ve donated plenty of times, because it makes sense that there is no other way to save lives than to donate.

On the other hand, I’ve been wondering for years, that while I’ve been told a million times that “blood reserves are low - donate blood now!”, I’ve not ever heard that a single person died due to lack of available blood.
Why would something like that not be reported if you want to motivate people to donate?

My personal guess is that this comes because “lack of avaiable blood donations” isn’t a valid cause of death, the cause of death is whatever else (gun shot wound, knife severed artery / complication during surgery etc), thus it’s hard to pinpoint. Also Doctors may try to “save” blood, when they know little is available, and people may die that may have lived if they had gotten (more) blood, but also they may not have and it is hard to tell.

Unless they change CPU architectures.

well. there’s already winlator (basically box86 / wine-wrapper for android).
Not as polished and far as Proton is, but the bones are there.

A CPU architecture change wouldn’t be a deathblow.

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.

I still wait for the day where smartphones become the only computer for most people.
dock it, (maybe cool it) and the available power is significant.

google is definitely taking steps there with their virtualization work and desktop mode, just slow.
Apple may be too, with their switch to ARM on desktop.

fuck yeah, definitely the right direction.

still a ways to go, but hey, baby steps

welp. so much for ‘pics or didn’t happen’

I have to say this is extremely encouraging.
I didn’t think that the steamdeck would have the raw performance. But it seems to me that it does, but the emulator is lacking optimization (understandably for such an early stage)

sorry to disagree.
my steam deck does not fit (comfortably, maybe if I were willing to force it more) in the case, with the Nub attached to the back.

I love the Idea, and I’ll keep the parts I printed to use it when I have explicit use to attach the deck somewhere. But I don’t think the attachment will just live there

Will it fit in the case with the nub on the back?

idler tension.

depending on your print, if you want a tiny nozzle it seems likely it is some detailed figurine of some sort. maybe a miniature.

when you print very tiny structures, but retract a lot, your drive gears can chew through your filament pretty quickly, because the retraction happens over the same bit of filament over and over again (because actual extrusion is so little).
