Man am I tired of being shafted for not having kids, the when it comes to holidays, covering for other staff and things, employees with kids always take priority and employees without don't have an 'excuse'. Extending that to layoffs is extremely toxic and punitive to younger workers.

Huh? They don't have a monopoly in any space, and have significant competitors. And I don't really see how they are slowing down innovation. I think it's fair to say that Nvidia are investing significanly in R&D, and is driving innovation more than anyone else in the industry for the moment.

In their defense, not seeing ads probably was the best thing about living in the USSR.

Why is it shit?

Because useful tools that generate income are more valuable than things that make games look more better.

AI is what's justifying pumping over $7bn into R&D per year, which drives improvements to gaming cards too.

Every card they sell makes a CEO richer, among a huge swathe of other effects.

Coming at this from a very basic level, but I'm wondering if this could help me.

I have such an unnecessarily hard time with Bluetooth. I have all kinds of devices (usually speakers, headphones and such) which I don't use, because switching them between input devices can be like pulling teeth.

For example:

  • at my desk with my wired headphones watching something in tbe background I'm enjoying
  • need to do something at my workbench, which has a chromecast on a monitor
  • I can cast the video there, but I don't want to use the big speakers because it's late
  • my small wireless speaker is paired to my phone, I can't remember how to re-pair, don't want to go through Chromecast settings
  • same with my earbuds
  • end up 'watching' on my phone because it's too much effort to use the actual TV!

I've been thinking about making a physical central BT 'broadcaster' which I pair everything to. It would be able to take multiple aux or bluetooth inputs, and would have a switch or mixer to control the inputs.

Would something like this help with any of those issues without having to build something like that (which also wouldn't be optimal)?

Im on mobile, and some of those features have gone way over my head!

I think that's what they're saying, in that, use proxmox to host a gaming vm. But choosing a hypervisor that can run games well bare-metal does sidestep some potential headaches.

I'm just going to launch missiles in this direction, if you get hit, that's your fault!

Sorry, I'm trying to get in the loop on this stuff, what's the significance of this, and who will it effect?

Nonzero, but realistically, what chain of fuckups would have to happen to actually cause a fire here? Maybe if you left a tin of hairspray inside the chamber along with some paper or rags or something, even then, you'd be insanely unlucky.

The 'tearing itself apart' seems to refer to s simple collision, printing when there's an object on the bed. Obviously not good, but it was just a normal print otherwise.

Yeah it could be printing something private, but if you're using a liklihood * severity assessment, it's hardly worth mentioning.

Obviously not arguing that this is a good thing, but I think people are being a bit hyperbolic. Fire risk should be no greater than during any other print. Damage to the printer would be a concern, but usually the printed part will simply dislodge. I don't know if it has any kind of crash protection?

So yeah its bad, and they need to do more to prevent this. Equally, it's a rare issue with a pretty low risk profile, that should be easy for consumers to mitigate against by simply switching it off

Lol like Ukraine did with their nukes?

So who's going to disarm first? If the Russians disarm and fuck off home then yeah, war's over. But what you've actually got are genocidal murderers and rapists trying to destroy a nation of people, and you in your armchair saying that we should allow it to continue. These are actual, real people. But feel free to head over there and spread the good word.

The aggressors can stop whenever they want to. Suggesting that Ukraine shouldn't have the means to protect itself is utterly ignorant.

What the fuck has this got to do with right or left wing?
