I choose to believe IRLRosie is the real Alexa. Not that she is, I just like that reality better.

I'm probably an exception, but on a I9-9900K with a 3080 at full quality its liquid smooth.

Short of an actual bitcoin economy - its primary use appears to me to be to hide/launder money.

The article says that everyone that was banned was because they were leftist, but who knows right. They seem to be pretty moderate people on Twitter.

That said - that Arkansas cop that threatened to shoot democrats still has his parler account, but not his job.

Well unless your goal is to radicalize the people who are on Parler.

Pennsylvania broke the US constitution by changing their state election laws? Written by yet another person who has never read the constitution:

Article 2 Section 1: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector."

That is fucking it - shocking as it may seem. I know that some partisans in the supreme court might chose to interpret things different, but there have been supreme court cases dating back a hundred years that basically affirm - states pick the electors, and electors pick the presidents - nothing in the constitution regulates how states go about doing this.

They may not have lost any lawsuits, but some quick googling shows they've paid out a fair amount of settlements out of court.

Sweden has nationalized health care - and yes that does make a difference - there's no fear of being dinged in the pocketbook over being sick.

Oddly Intel stock went up as well.

You can use Office 365 with Linux just fine.

Its not even that - if the software vendor was using the microsoft api - GetVersion - it returns a regular version number.

It was a work-around for vendors who were using hacks to read the product display names - and oddly enough MS has a compatibility layer to "fix" applications that do it wrong, but I suspect that was more work.

I guess that is one problem with year of the Linux desktop - running into a printer that doesn't work on windows isn't a thing. Granted running into printers that don't work well in general (including on Windows) is a thing.

I'm not sure how you hire support that doesn't know about printers though...

Anyhow thats the point of client management - you shouldn't hire people to do software installs - you have some orchestration software that does it for your customers and you hire people who know how to package software and how to do client policies - like printers.

You can get the sourcecode for those OS's, but its not quite open source - my understanding is there are a lot of legal hurdles to overcome in a lot of these OS's because there is so much licensed code (from 3rd parties like Adobe, IBM etc) inside the product. I'm sure it will happen someday though.

Twin Galaxies rules say the record has to be set on the original hardware.

They do have a separate category for emulators.

The big difference I think is the physical controls and operating position are different, and emulators aren't perfect replications - even today - the timing is different etc - and for a pre-recorded world record its way easier to cheat on an emulator. Note - of Billy's world records were not witnessed by a referee.

I'm pretty sure you don't need satellites to compute a ballistic trajectory for a nuclear weapon... Or for that matter - flying aircraft over the poles to drop weapons.

In fact its so stupid simple to nuke another country that's what no-one would ever dare do it - hence MAD.
