Yea, I go out of my way to Microcenter, passing several Best Buys.

Why would they question bugs?

So my overpowered PC is so I don’t lose focus due to loading times.

No? Barcodes and QR codes do not have enough information for unique identification. (Well they could but they start getting bigger and bigger)

But the real issue is needing these codes tracked and audited in a public manner. Instead of having a third party company trusted with all the cheese, you use a Blockchain with a public ledger. This doesn’t even require much processing power since there’s no incentive to mine as many blocks as possible.

I hate cryptobros but logistics is a good use for the tech. Tech is tech, not all use cases are bad.

I had a 6 month gap and I said I was taking a sabbatical (which was the truth). No one batted an eye.

Yep, Dutch with manufacturing in Taiwan. So not super relevant to this thread.

System 76 is US based including keyboard manufacturing. They’re a small company that gives a lot back to the open source community.

You can always go for smaller/niche companies. System76 and Wooting come to mind for keyboards.

You have to do research and pay a premium. But you’re way more likely supporting a business that cares about its employees.

In general consume less. And when you do need to make bigger purchases, do your research.

There’s a LAN party there every year. Seems about the best thing about it.

I inquired about why the Bustang that goes to to Colorado Springs doesn’t stop in Castle Rock. The Bustang employee heavily implied it was because Castle Rock just refuses to allow transit riders in their city. Castle Rock rather have a taxi budget for old people then do any form of public transit.

You can go higher that 4k@60 but youll be using chroma subsampling. Which can make text look really bad.

This is the correct answer. Using my 6900XT, I can’t run a 4k120hz display over HDMI without subsampling.

This hopefully will change with the new AMD GPUs, but that’s wishful thinking.

When I lived in the US, 15%. Now 0%, feels great.

I was being slightly hypobolic. Because yes there are strawberries under 2000 as well. Even 800 yen is high compared to the states.

Japan also washes them. Just not all.

Don’t worry. All the savings on eggs are destroyed by 2000 yen strawberries. And rice is incredibly high right now, up about double in the last year.

I like mullvad but they got rid of their port forwarding.

If it’s anything like the first one, the story is fine. The long script is mostly just a lot of side quests unrelated to the main story.

I always dislike this take because it pretends the US doesn’t have this exact issue. I’ve known people with less than ideal insurance who had very few doctors to pick from in-network and would take months to get an appointment.

Long wait times still happens in the US. Just like it can happen in public healthcare.

120V is the American outlet. Japan uses electric kettles juat fine at 100V. I think the reason they arnt super prevalent is cultural. Not speed.
