Once upon a time, a game console was a special piece of relatively inexpensive purpose-built hardware. Relative to the cost, they had impressive graphics capabilities linked to their design being specifically for gaming, prioritizing single-process performance and graphics memory bandwidth for results which PCs struggled to match.

Today, home PCs have massive bandwidth, and a game console is just a cost reduced PC with a crippled OS and unified memory. So why would you want one over a real PC with a non-crippled OS if the same games are available on the PC? And most of them are. It's not all of them, but if you need a PC anyway (and many people still do) then is it really worth it to buy a whole other PC you can only play games on, and which you will basically just have to throw away when you're done because they are so locked down?

When lots of people have significant disposable income, sure. That's not now...

The problem is policing.

One approach to addressing police accessing information they shouldn't in the name of investigation of crimes is to require any information collection outside of a hot pursuit to require a warrant. If there is a legitimate investigation that should be easy, right?

That was a subtle Scotsman.

This is nonsense. If you have a decent GPU and just a whatever CPU then you can expect to be CPU limited. Just having current PCIE is not enough.

The mission is to get everyone on SSL, that's going to include people without a clue

By "unmarked" they mean it doesn't have a corporate logo. It'll have plates and shit. Who's required to have what markings on what vehicles varies from location to location, I'm not looking that up for this case, are you?

As far as the contract, it certainly gives them permission to access the campus in order to maintain the cameras, including removing foreign objects which obscure the view blah blah blah, why else would they have a contract? It'll also indemnify them from acts of god like lightning striking the pole while a student is using it to reenact a scene from a stripper movie. And no doubt it would also give them the right to seek some kind of redress from the school for covering the cameras, as they spent some money to put them in there and expect the data to flow, but they certainly don't need that kind of negative publicity.

Since they didn't just remove them, I would imagine that the school didn't have a contract that allowed them to require their removal for other than safety reasons.

Gallena de patio that gets bugs and scraps is richer than factory fed feed-only birds.

This is mostly a problem with all projector and some LED headlights. It isn't a big problem with dual-reflector headlights because they are much more diffuse, but since projectors just have a big lens they have hot spots. With LED headlights it depends on what kind of diffuser is between the LED element and your eye.

Back in 1960 you could already buy an F250 or F350.

Lifted vehicles can be a problem, but the most common problem for "lifted" pickups is someone has installed a leveling lift and not re-aimed their headlights, or have not done it correctly. Leveling lifts specifically lift the front of the vehicle only in order to make them sit more level when empty (or mostly empty.) Obviously this raises the headlights' aim. Usually you can just adjust it out, but you might have to shim the headlight or make other changes to fix the aim on some vehicles where there is not enough adjustment to fix it, and then you also have to care.

No, this is the exact reason why the ACA is a disaster. Insurance company profits are capped at a percentage of the cost of care, so they are motivated to drive up costs. But what about the uncovered treatments that the hospitals have to eat?

The headline makes it look like he was arrested merely for the business not doing updates. While many of us have significant sympathy for that kind of action, from the only charges found not sealed so far they seem to be claiming that he was making threats of not doing his job. But that could easily be the result of someone not understanding what they were being told, so really we know nothing at all about what the charges are actually based on.

The comments on the linked article seem relatively informative.

Normal people have trouble finding quality, affordable pieces of cow. I happen to have a nearby local butcher whose rent is subsidized by Guy Fieri where I can get reasonably priced portions of the local 4-H kids' pride and joy, but most people aren't in that position.

If I were to build my own printer I would do something similar. Experience with this printer has taught me that it is the way to go. For my next printer I plan to build a tool changer.

I don't need a frontier LLM to tell me that the Democrats are ineffectual.

The problem with actively trying to be centrist to please everyone is that a) that's impossible and b) it means actively trying to find candidates who are less progressive than the one you're looking at when you're also supposed to be the more progressive party.
