I bought 16gb of ddr4 for 110eu back in 2018. Welcome back to the DDR wars, with NAND soon to follow.

BTW

I’d put some batteries in the vest pockets and say By the power vested in me I now pronounce you son and daughter. You may not kiss anyone until you’re 18

Still waiting to see the inevitable hack of a communications constellation (starlink and the likes) resulting in worldwide outages and / or a worldwide firework show.

Open windows and shrink your boot partition by whatever you want Linux to take. Leave the space unallocated and delete any secondary partitions you may have already created in the first failed installation.

Then, start the Linux installation again and see if that works.

If you have a second drive that’s a much better choice because windows will regularly fuck up the Linux part of the bootloader and good luck fixing it.

Go log into windows, backup the second drive files somewhere else and format it, then install Linux there.

I just hop into my uefi menu on boot and select the windows disk to load whenever required instead of a dual boot bootloader because I know windows will not damage it

Let me guess, are we holding it wrong again?

Which is why the proverbial canary is coughing a little, but is still alive.

TSMC announced their new gigafab in Arizona is being sped up with a 100 billion dollar investment to produce and later package the latest 2nm and A16 nodes. Taiwan is always a step ahead because it makes economic sense for it to be. If that stops being the case, then the US will take the lead and China will “Hong Kong” their way into Taiwan.

Unless China starts implementing the “We don’t care” stance due to the ongoing trade war, which, judging by this Nvidia move, they’re clearly moving towards.

China cares because they have an economic incentive to care. Once that’s gone they’ll switch their tune quite drastically I would assume and due to the nature of their government structure, quite rapidly, too.

The canary in the Taiwan coal mine is starting to cough a little.

Once China has AI parity or dominance with homegrown chips and the US can produce everything locally or in allied countries, there’s little need for the current protections to remain in place.

Looking ahead, 53% of AOMedia members surveyed plan to adopt AV2 within 12 months upon its finalization later this year, with 88% expecting to implement it within the next two years.

From AOMedia website. So the plan is for it to have AV1 levels of adoption by 2028.

Are you trying to get the entire dcip3 banned??

I was once fired from a helpdesk job because a security guy overheard me summarizing a Kevin Mitnick book to a coworker, thought I was planing to do what I was explaining and notified my supervisor, who informed his supervisor and so on until it went all the way to the fucking CEO and back.

I was summoned to HR the next day and I had to explain in writing to 5 different people that they’re all idiots and show them the book I was referring to.

I applied for a different position in the same company 3 months later and was hired for another 8 months.

Honestly nowadays data plans are cheap on most mobile carriers and they’re obligated to have them work accross EU, so you no longer really need Wi-Fi when traveling.

Also, I can see this being easily and constantly exploited via Wi-Fi attacks where hackers set up fake Hotspots with the same name as the closest legit one.

1000%, 2500%, 600%, 1500%

Not if everyone buys it, because then we’d all look the same

Normally the trapezoid shape can be corrected, but on the really cheap models I wouldn’t count on it working that well.

You could also look at your local second hand markets for a better quality one at a reasonable price, but make sure to check if replacement lamps are available and if they’re easy to replace on the particular model.

Get a projector with at least 1080p actual output resolution.

Most entry level ones have terrible lenses which means you’ll need to experiment a bit with how high you’ll mount them cause they need to be dead on to display properly, otherwise half the screen will be blurry. I highly recommend a cheap aluminum camera tripod with a center collumn for height adjustment.

For screen I bought a white roller blind for like 8 bucks from a home supplies store and mounted it by passing a string through the tube and tying the ends to whatever worked best. In terms of picture quality it’s exactly the same, but if you can afford an actual projection screen and haul it around then do that.

For sound I would recommend a battery powered Bluetooth speaker because they’re cheap and easy to carry, but you may experience a slight sound delay which can be solved with a 3.5mm aux cable in the aux port.

My final suggestion is to get a used Nintendo Wii with sports and a couple of controllers, endless fun for the right crowd.

On the bright side you might be able to buy groceries with robux and vbucks soon

Making a fool of myself on purpose and laughing along. Karaoke bars, stand-up comedy open mic nights, improv theater.

It helps you see that people can’t really see behind each other’s “mask” all that well. All confidence is made up, so play along and it just sort of materializes.

Another way to do that is to try and become fluent in a new language. You build a different persona for each language you use, so might as well become confident in the new one on purpose.

I would suppose it’s pro independence / sovereignty, but that’s generally a no-no topic
