I think it’s plausible he will actually pull X out of the EU completely and concentrate on the US. Banking regulations around the world vary greatly and I can’t see him wanting to handle all that.
TBH that doesn’t surprise me… I had a minor spat over the existence of a local supermarket, of all the stupid things… Wiki said it had been refused planning permission and never built. I had shopped in there many times, and could link to many articles about the fully built existing supermarket. I gave up after the second revert because it’s just not worth it.
I’ve yet to see a remote website that’ll send me 1gbps continuously except a speed test… and whilst it’s nice to see big numbers on those, it isn’t really justifying the cost.
Even things like microsoft and steam stuff throttle far lower than that (presumably because they don’t want a million people trying to hit them for 1gbps constantly).
Once my minimum term is up on this link I can get a 1.6Gpbs one, but probably won’t bother.
It still has the issue that joining a popular channel can bury a server for a couple of hours whilst it downloads the entire history since it was created (hillariously trying to connect to thousands of servers that no longer exist… the error log was… impressive).
The new protocol was announced on here recently but synapse is stull running the old protocol with a proxy in front and the proxy just means clients can log off whilst it’s updating, it doesn’t fix the issue.
It’s probably fine if you don’t federate it, but I could just use my IRC server for that…
If it contains energy, there’s probably a way to make that energy release in an uncontrolled fashion. As energy densities increase, so does the risk if that happens.
Luckily batteries are built such that it’s actually quite hard to ignite them. As are fuel tanks for the same reason.
Yeah with car manufacturers the usual tactic is ‘concept’ cars of ‘the next model’ containing every single thing a consumer could wish for… which of course never get built.
I wouldn’t want to calculate what it’d cost to replace all my switches with 25G capable ones… then all the network cards… You’d have to have a really specific application to justify it.
It gives google access to all the traffic statistics for users of chrome, not just those going via google. That’s valuable marketing data. They also have made sure that nobody else can get that data - they have to buy it from google as they become the sole source of it.
That’s why they want to do it… nothing to do with ‘privacy’.
Wars are already simulated like crazy. AI battles will be going on right now working out if various ukraine battles are winnable, what will happen if Iran gets too riled up, etc.
The bit we currently do wrong is then verifying the results using real people…
It’ll happen in games first… nobody cares if ‘background NPC #15’ is generated by AI, and mostly they voice a few sentences at a time.
Suddenly, voices aren’t special… Voice actors have to have something else, like movie or book fame (Audible books seem to be mostly voiced by the authors, and I can’t see that going away). But only a few % really have that… I bet there are thousands of voice actors we wouldn’t even recognise the names of.
Get a Laser then… Inkjets dry out if not regularly used, which on the cheaper printer often means ‘throw it away and buy a new one’ because they don’t have replaceable heads. A laser will happily sit for months idle then spring into life.
It’s derived from the old shugart interfaces IIRC. But yes not IDE. I’m sure a converter is possible but USB makes more sense these days, or if you must an FDD controller card (assuming no motherboard support).
