When I bought my 9070 XT I specifically opted for one of the models without a 12VHPWR connector. It’s a shame any of the AMD partner cards even opted to go with one. It’s basically a crap shoot on if any given card is going to end up catching on fire because of these things and frankly I’m amazed the potential liability alone hasn’t killed the connector.
I think the important difference here is nobody in the US gives a single shit about whatever the hell this is. Someone may have decided to send this guy but I’d be amazed if even 1% of the US has even heard of Intervision and doubly so if even half of those that have heard of it care enough to even watch it.
He’s trying to imitate Putin. Probably go about as well as it has for Putin as well.
Ah, now that I check it again the actual article title is different from the title posted on here. I was referring to the title on here.
This title and article confuses me. After reading the article it seems like there were a few lanes of traffic that were originally normal road lanes, but had been converted to bicycle only lanes at some point, and they are now talking about converting them back into normal traffic lanes. Where is the law in this? This sounds like a civil engineering exercise not a legal one. Did someone sue the government over this? The article title made it seem like the government was trying to ban bicycle lanes, but the article paints a very different picture.
Edit: I’m talking about the title of this post that says “Canadian judge rules law to remove bike lanes is unconstitutional, cyclists have a right to safety”
Edit 2: did the article title change after this was posted? If not this post seems to be violating the rule that the post title must match the article headline.
Wouldn’t reevaluating the road system to meet pedestrian needs better be a far saner response than trying to mandate everyone wear special clothing? Maybe convert a few of those roads from vehicle to pedestrian only and explore options to provide better lighting on both.
Or just pulls it from the market. Wouldn’t be the first time a company acquires a competitor for the sole purpose of eliminating it.
What the shit is this? This reads like psychotic ramblings, like the time cube guy or TempleOS. I’m like 90% sure whoever created that site has schizophrenia.
I’d argue the 9060 and 9070 are less AMD not screwing up and more Nvidia setting records for screwing up. The 5060 and 5070 are wastes of silicon that are out competed by Nvidias own hardware nevermind AMDs offerings. The 9060 and 9070 are not bad GPUs, but they’re not really good either.
If Intel can close the performance gap with AMD while also maintaining their price points we might see some genuinely good GPUs as AMD is forced to compete with someone (Nvidia isn’t really a competitor, AMD isn’t even attempting to compete at the high end, and Nvidia refuses to compete at the low end). My only fear in this scenario is that AMD does the same thing they did previously when they struggled to compete with Nvidia and just exits the GPU market entirely.
It would be truly ironic if we ended up in a situation where AMD is the dominant CPU manufacturer, Intel dominates the budget GPU market, and Nvidia dominates the market for people with more money than sense.
In a normal military this would be a pretty big deal, but Russia has long used the strategy of “keep throwing bodies at them until you win”. That’s also likely the reason their navy and air force are a joke as that strategy doesn’t work so well when you have a finite number of craft to send those bodies on. There’s a reason that Ukraine’s tiny well trained military has been able to use guerrilla tactics to wipe the floor with Russia’s military.
So unfortunately this is likely to make little if any difference, Putin will just find a new piece of meat to stuff into that uniform and then kick him towards the front line. What does make a huge difference though is every time they manage to destroy a piece of Russian hardware (be that a boat, plane, tank, or artillery) as Russia has a very hard time replacing those unlike their practically unlimited supply of cannon fodder.
It also lacks nuance like those who use both. I don’t tend to do mobile gaming although when I do I almost exclusively use my Steam Deck. My wife on the other hand does mobile gaming quite often and her usage is closer to 50/50 between the two. I would think it would be somewhat rare for anyone to exclusively use any one device or to even not own multiple devices.
Yeah. It’s a weird distro that Davinci seems to be really committed to for some reason. Davinci Studio on Linux is a bit of a mixed bag. There are several known problems with it mostly related to it being built with outdated libraries that most distros don’t ship with anymore (them including newer ones instead). The other major issue is just around missing codecs, although if you pay for the non-free version it includes the codecs as well.
Bold of you to assume the MAGATs (including the felon in chief) are smart enough to understand the implied threat/warning.
That does raise an interesting question though. What would happen to those treaties if Canada decided to officially become fully independent of the crown? I don’t think anything is really stopping that from happening other than there not really being a significant upside for Canada.
Also side question, is the king (and I guess the entire royal family) considered a citizen of Canada and all the other countries that apparently never really got their independence from England? That’s got to be incredibly weird for someone marrying into the royal family. “Congratulations you married a royal, here’s your new citizenship to a dozen different countries most of which you’ve probably never set foot in before”.
Well, I suppose that’s kind of like the ultimate veto, “you suck at this so much you’re all fired”. How many times has that actually happened?
As an outsider looking in this seems very weird. I guess the king of England is also technically the king of Canada, but I’m failing to see why that matters even if it’s incredibly strange. I know in England the monarchy is almost entirely symbolic with nearly all the actual governing done by the PM and Parliament. I would assume Canada is the same. Does the monarchy have any actual power in Canada? I believe in England they have a (incredibly rarely used) veto power over parliament but that’s it. Is Canada not the same?
So tipping is complicated in the US. There’s a strong argument to be made that tipping culture in the US has its roots in racism as tips were seen as a way to discriminate against black people in a way that couldn’t be easily proven. The overwhelming majority of wait staff in the US receive non-livable wages with the expectation that the majority of their income will come from tips. As such for many people tips represent a significant percentage of their income. For many tips are not “extra” for doing a great job but instead represent part of their salary that they count on but which can be arbitrarily withheld for any nebulous reason.
This is why not tipping a waiter in the US is not just a statement that they didn’t do a great job, but is an active statement that they did a terrible job. In other countries it’s the equivalent of complaining to a manager about the service, but in the US this can be done in a much more direct far more impactful way without actually having to articulate why you’re upset with the service or even interacting with anyone directly.
To be clear, I am not claiming any of this is good. Tipping culture in the US is terrible and many, perhaps even a majority of Americans would be happy to see it gone, but it’s something of a systemic problem now and doing away with it would require a strong unified approach that in the current political climate seems unlikely.
Sounds like this is less about weakening the US, Trump has that well in hand all by himself, and more about strengthening China and Russia.
Also what the fuck is a “tariff investigation”? It’s hard to believe he’s shying away from saying he’ll raise tariffs again, he’s certainly threatened it often enough, but maybe the TACO title is starting to bother him. Maybe he’s trying to figure out a way to threaten tariffs that won’t look so obvious when he inevitably backs down.
