Promoting MS products on the login screen of the OS you paid for is an ad.

Nvidia says the $2000 5090 comes out in January. They haven’t even hinted at an announcement for the 5060 so it will be a very long time before it comes out.

Yes!

It was in my news feed 2 days ago and as is the nature of the modern Internet, today I cannot find the article using Google.

I read an article that MS has backed off almost entirely on Win 11’s requirements. Now it’s a checkbox, “Your hardware isn’t supported so you accept responsibility if you have problems.”

As long as it’s newer than Pentium 4, you are probably fine.

Win 11 now only needs popcnt (a newer instruction added 15 years ago) and sse4.2.

If you don’t know, you either haven’t run Win 11 or don’t realize the files on your desktop have been uploaded to OneDrive.

Like the artist who made millions for taping a banana to a wall.

The only bad thing Bill Gates ever did was say that poorer countries needed to pay for Covid vaccines. That was horrible and he backed off.

Almost all his other shenanigans was being a Billionaire stealing from other Billionaires.

People forgot that IBM was a monopoly worse than Microsoft. People forgot that Netscape was a billionaire backed corporation. MS stomped on some little guys too like Stacker. But it was someone who made $100M on a good idea and thought they could milk one idea forever.

To put Bill Gates in the same category as Musk is like saying Biden is the same as Trump.

If you don’t like how voyager does some things, fork it to add your own ideas. It’s faster than starting from scratch.

Small things can only fit in small cars?

You subconscious is telling you to start your own crypto coin.

I think you need to read it more carefully. He didn’t use a /s tag

Funny meme but let’s be serious:

The steps to install Arch.

The steps to install de bloated Windows:

Download Tiny Windows.
Use Rufus to make a boot USB. Click ok.

Mint is where it’s at.

It should be thrown out but Elon is Trump now and Trump will make sure his platforms are protected.

He’s absolutely right. That’s why he should come work for me on his weekends. I’ll pay him $15/hr!

What? He won’t work for that? Lazy CEO.

I expected him to be selling pirate Switches and/or games. Nope. They are suing him only for talking about it. Insane.

Yes you have to build for worst case. That’s what I already said.

You are comparing overbuilt nuclear but acting like bess can’t be over built too. That’s why the cost of storage is the only important metric.

You need an absolute minimum of 2 nuclear reactors to be reliable (Belgium has 7). That doubles the cost of nuclear. But it doesn’t matter because that’s factored in when you look at levelized cost. You look at cost per MWhr. How reliability is achieved doesn’t matter.

Bess is $200 per MWhr.

I never heard it called the Elvis operator! Thanks!

I have no idea what that is.

It looks at the cost of power generation

Yes.

But then you added the requirement of 90% uptime which is isn’t how a grid works. For example a coal generator only has 85% uptime yet your power isn’t out 4 hours a day every day.

Nuclear reactors are out of service every 18-24 months for refueling. Yet you don’t lose power for days because the plant has typically two reactors and the grid is designed for those outages.

So the only issue is cost per megawatt. You need 2 reactors for nuclear to be reliable. That’s part of the cost. You need extra bess to be reliable. That’s part of the cost.
