Comment Re: "COURAGE" and all that (Score 1) 21

They got to collect 30% of developers money for 20 years and will likely only be required to refund a tiny fraction. This isn't a mistake its weaponized disregard for what's right. Apple is only starting to follow the rules now after they were threatened with criminal contempt, that's how little their cost is of flaunting the law.

Comment wrong assumption leads to wrong conclusion (Score 1) 115

Meat and Dairy aren't being overproduced or overconsumed, even if they have risks, they are standing against the biggest problems facing world health. Dieticians might be asking people to replace meat and dairy with asparagus and quinoa but people are fat and malnourished because they're eating too much corn and other low nutrition density, high calorie foods.

This stands as a good reminder that if your assumption is that everyone else is wrong there's a good chance it's actually you.

Comment 5045M (Score 1) 30

Given the 5090 has over 21000 cuda cores this is more like a 5045 with half the compute capacity, a quarter of the power limits and around 70% the memory/bus.

I guess on the plus side there's no 12v high fire connector to worry about because these chips are mb integrated and wouldn't draw enough power to worry about anyway.

He means takeout as opposed to a poor dine-in experience. It's odd reading this summary being called "curious" when the summary buries the real stat at the end, people are spending less time to pick up their food at these not-restaurants which frees the CS workers to help out with other tasks, that's the curious efficiency boost.

Comment Re:Why not to change format? (Score 2) 73

They want users to be constantly subjected to device firmware updates without notification or consent, and they can't do that without requiring them to be connected to the internet. This is to rob the software fixers of hackable firmwares by making sure everything is constantly on the latest version.

Your "false claim" article doesn't even address the claim.

I don't know how you can fail to learn 4 years later about the approved virologists messaging each other about the leak likelihood while publicly saying the virus could not have been engineered. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thenation.com%2Farti...

You really don't understand the meaning of evidence do you?

The spike protein being an exact match to a patented human-transmissible pathogen isn't evidence?

The outbreak initially occurring in the same city as the US funded biolab isn't evidence?

The biolab failing certification for pathogen studies of this scale isn't evidence?

The workers at said biolab being out sick in weeks prior to the "wetmarket outbreak" isn't evidence?

The professional liars managing the illegal biolab attempting to blame everything else while internally confirming the most likely cause isn't evidence?

Comment Re:Next up McDonald's Ice-cream machines (Score 1) 47

I wouldn't say it's resolved. Only recently has it been declared that franchisee's are allowed to seek out competing repair services for their poorly serviced machines. AFAIK there's no ruling that the machine maker has to share data and tools with the competing repair companies, they're just allowed to attempt to reverse engineer the units in order to repair/service them.

Comment Re:Move off Github to Protest TPM?? (Score 1) 152

It's not well demonstrated by the summary or one of many linked articles but the problem is more the expectation that this device will be abused against users and be expected to be a new norm among "well-behaved" user machines.
CCP backed gaming companies are already using TPMs to identify user hardware to decide if their configuration is tame enough, or has been previously banned.
DRM trashed streaming services are using TPMs to confirm "secure operating system" requirements, the only true security concern is preventing users from accessing the media they paid for in a reasonable way. Don't want to run a proprietary bullshit OS, well no HD for you!

Given these goals, it's easy to see how things like the LPC connected tpms will be rejected in the future.
