Oh, I skip FB and IG ads completely. It's crazy: I didn't even have to install anything, and the ads just disappeared one day.

But seriously, the "your attention is being monetized" model makes for such an awful experience for me. I'm envious of people who can enjoy the world and the Internet when ads are everywhere.

The Psychick Cross in the upper left... someone is missing a two.

The "consequences" for those involved in the Mỹ Lai Massacre (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Lai_massacre) paints a different picture.

That said, I have some close friends in the military, including one who is a Military Defense Counsel. Enforcement, when it happens, is quite strict.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger highlighted that the market doesn't have much demand for discrete GPUs

Oh, I think the demand is sufficiently robust. The problem is cards that cost, say, $1000 for <100 FPS.

That seems kind of harsh. I'd totally accept falling on his own sword, maybe seppuku.

It came from a speaker a few years ago at the Davos World Economic Forum. Davos is where the ultra rich gather each year to plot out how to be even more evil.

You have it backwards here. Apple needs to support developers. They make it expensive and inconvenient to develop on their ecosystem. But until Apple releases their stranglehold, I would be just fine if I never have to use their shitty OS, development software, and tools ever again.

my M1 Max MacBook Pro could run Baldur's Gate 3 at max graphics with no performance issues. On battery. Over extended periods

I'm a bit skeptical on this claim, or maybe we have different ideas of what "extended periods" mean. My M1 Max MBP would have just under two hours of run time with VS Code doing .NET Core dev. It was even worse when doing Ruby on Rails work. And that was when MBP was new. My whole team were issued these, and our experiences were the same. Zoom calls were even worse, with about 90 minutes of run time.

The ARM architecture has amazing battery life when idling, quite unlike x86. But when it gets spooled up, it eats angry pixies just the same as x86. All of my x86 laptops can do .NET Core work.. for two hours.

Peeked in to see if this was here. Thank you, drive through.

But ...why does the boat have a sprit and no stay? 😆

But seriously, thank you for sharing. What are the dots on the paper? Is this one of the digitizing sketchbooks?

This is exactly the case. Also, I worked for a credit union at the time, and employees got a 1% discount on interest rates for loans over a 24 months.
