If you dilute the piss you put in for a drug test it won’t register anything- most test labs will also reject it for that reason

sure, vote 3rd party or skip voting and hand the entire election to Trump on a silver platter.

***Government Spy Device

man i’d love to have a meat cigar rn

sure, and you think this isn’t also happening in every single other industry right now?

That’s a regulatory problem and not a fundamental mechanics problem. the logic of “well it’s good but humans will cut corners” means we should never do anything at all.

and they want to take the rest of us with them! Complete with 1820’s civil rights, 1820’s woman’s rights, 1820’s pollution and industrial standards…

nope, not a truck in any sense of the word. granted I use it like one, lol, but it is very much a light passenger car chassis.

fuck you i’m gonna eat my tuna sandwich in the middle of your standup

That’s what I was hoping, i guess demo models in Staples don’t really do them any justice. Thanks!

Yeah, i;ve heard that too, but i’ve also heard that burn in typically happens from trying to run them too bright all the time with said static elements being white and not dark. i already run most of my system in dark mode and try to have a fairly dark room meaning i don’t need maxed out monitor brightness, so I think I can mitigate a lot of the burn in risk. Thanks!

ahhh fuck I forgot about that little stupid memory bus cheat that Intel pulled. they’ve been good at obfuscating their screwing of consumers thru weird naming schemes ever since they started lol

also most of those USB adapters likely won’t support true hardware switch interrupts, Direct Memory Access, or raw bus control to talk to other cards, which almost every special ISA card actually needs at least one of these to function.

looks like the implemented CPU (ULi M6117C) supports a coprocessor interface, so it is entirely possible that a 387sx equivalent could give it floating point capabilities. it’s probably not electrically implemented on this specific device to expose the interface though. otherwise yeah no FP sucks

The point is not power but hardware compatibility. Emulation only goes so far and many, if not most, weird esoteric hardware systems from the 90s depended on idiosyncracies and strange usage of standard busses and weird interactions of the CPU. Emulation almost always breaks this.

it’s because implementing an existing touch screen module and then telling a bunch of code monkeys in a 3rd world country to write a barely functional UI for it is actively cheaper than engineering, sourcing, assembling and testing keypads with physical buttons or even a membrane keyboard these days

using a touch screen also means they can put the same mass produced PCB into 40 different products instead of needing a custom button pattern for each. just tell the code monkeys to update the UI. there’s a lot of economic arguments for the use of touch screens, but it sure doesn’t make the field worker’s lives any easier.

Meta is struggling a lot less, probably because they were smart enough to lay off in one go,

or more like their user experience was already so garbage, adding AI to it doesn’t make any noticeable change lol

I am already the Unfortunate Cousin; however, it seems to be an unpaid internship…

Shutting down MAGA and punishing criminals is the same thing

The headline they want you to read: “zomg these master criminals were causing billions in damages!!!1!1”

The headline everyone else reads: “lmao piracy run by a couple random schmucks has an infinitely better service AND content selection than any corporate streaming service”

My uncle, who used to live in the Bay Area as a heavy equipment mechanic, moved to outside Boise because he wanted out of the California rat race, traffic and taxes. He’s on the conservative side, but a level headed fellow.

He lasted less than two years in Idaho before he bailed to Wisconsin, because he feared for his daughters and Boise became overdeveloped. Anyone in Oregon thinking that joining Idaho is gonna fix their problems needs to take those rose colored glasses off lol.

Side note, but during one of Sen. Jeff Merkley’s town halls, a county commissioner candidate asked him about the process to allow eastern Oregon to join Idaho. Merkley said it would require the passage of a bill in both Idaho and Oregon, then approval from the US Senate/House. That’s a lot of hoops to jump through, and I’d eat my hat if Idaho even wants all that economically unproductive land when they already have their own budget problems.
