In germany, vapes are already under the same taxation as cigs. I pay about 60€ for 60ml bottles.
Crime spikes and cultural incompatibilities
Their games are certainly getting dumber/simpler, I'll give you that. Hope one of their future games will eventually live up to your standards again.
Desalination is horrible for the local marine life though. Less people might be a better option, but impossible to implement short-term.
TES III - V were all amazing. Can't wait for TES VI to come out in 2035.
This is not a new thing, even back in 2012 the much-beloved borderlands 2 got five new missions which cost $2 each.
It is a cool guide, but this one should really come with a list of exceptions. Assuming there are big pincered highly venomous scorpions.
I don't think nvidia cares about AI on the desktop. They want you to think of them when you hear AI in a datacenter context.
The vikings really did raid everybody
If they don't punish microsoft for hiding a vulnerability that let to the largest hack of any government in the history of computers, then they're not going to really punish boeng either.
Depends on the model. Dolphin-mistral is like 4GB in size and runs on any somewhat modern cpu with reasonable performance. Larger models ofc should be run with higher end gpus at least, but even in hybrid mode (gpu+cpu) models like dolphin-mixtral (26GB) run just fine. For reference, I have a 5800x and a 6900xt, ollama installed in a distrobox container.
Bought this kingston xs2000 a while ago. It's officially rated for "up to" 2000Mb\s read\write but slows to a crawl after 30GB have been copied. Fyi, I'm copying files from an internal nvme (samsung 980 pro) via a usb 3.0 cable, so this kingston ssd is the only bottleneck.
I opened my laptop for unrelated reasons and was greeted by a slightly bloated battery. Idk if the picture makes it clear, but the individual segments of the battery have slightly raised above the solid structure pieces in between. Laptop is just over a year old. I have already contacted the manufacturer, but with the holidays and everything I'm not sure when I'll get an answer.
Basically, I'm worried about the potential danger. I use my laptop a lot (usually plugged in). Since the battery seems to be screwed in and not glued, I could just take it out, but idk if that would be better than just leaving it in until the manufacturer sends me a new one or has me send it in for battery replacement.
Also, I hope that consumer hardware posts like this are accepted in this community. The rules at least don't state otherwise.
Edit: thank you all for your comments. I brought the bloated battery to a recycling center the day after I made this post. Communication with Medion support eventually led to me talking to a very pleasant service technician on the phone. He sent me a new battery, which I just installed. Everything is working great again.
That is at least including the nicotine shots, base and flavouring, but still.
