I’m going to guess that an old mid or full size tower could fit a modern GPU. With a bit of dremelling on the back you cold probably make it work. My son has been mulling such a mod.

They are on track to bankrupt The Onion

I like how the article reminds us of creating goverment efficiency by creating an additional department. I’m an old IT guy. I worked for the US goverment in the 80´s, and my org was the pilot place for a paperless office. We got a “fast” scanner, a 4 ppm Laser printer (in the 80´s those things went for 1000´s,) the size of a washing machine, and two additional new filing cabinets!!

Rabbits were put in ovens

I’m not a rabid anti-nuclear, but there are somethings that are often left out of the pricing. One is the exorbitant price of storage of spent fuel although I seem to remember that there is some nuclear tech that can use nuclear waste as at least part of it’s fuel (Molten salt? Pebble? maybe an expert can chime in). There is also the human greed factor. Fukushima happened because they built the walls to the highest recorded tsunami in the area, to save on concrete. A lot of civil engineering projects have a 150% overprovision over the worst case calculations. Fukushima? just for the worst case recorded, moronic corporate greed. The human factor tends to be the biggest danger here.

You can buy a Ryzen 9 32Gb 2 Tb mini pc that seems to have a similar form factor. It’s capable of running 3 4K diaplays, not too shabby. at Amazon in Europe for 446€. Or, if you’d prefer, a Ryzen 5 pro 16 Gb 512 SSD for 289 Link so half the money and you get 2x storage… Link sure, no thunderbolt, but considering the specs, I know what I’d buy.

Evolution in action.

That’s Inhoman!

I’m a guy with a high “test IQ”, and my sister, who is in the normal range is way more succesful that me in most aspects of life. You don’t want high “test IQ”, you want “smart people” not the same, and far more difficult to measure. High IQ basically means you are good at solving certain types of puzzles

As I mentioned, I use remotes occasionally, so I’m trying a low fuss solution. If my bread and butter were remote support, I’d probably invest time in a more customized set-up

Thanks. I’m trying out HopToDesk. As I understand it’s a clone. Works pretty well. I hope they don’t pull any shenanigans

It’s not microplastics that worry me. It’s heated plastics, which is why I don’t use plastics in the microwave or use non stick cookware. BTW, the fancy air fryer seems to be all metal, like the toaster ovens.

Also, why the downvotes to a reasonable question?

This is dumb. Hand over development to bureaucrats? create a set of guidelines and requirements, and allow distros to be certified, and fund development of distros that are being used.

I’m a linux, sometimes windows, and android user. I own an iPad, because of the Affinity apps, not available on android.

The browser fuckery, and other restrictions, like no torrenting, for example, that Apple imposes makes me continuously consider selling the iPad. Only Affinity saves the iPad. I could not accept these limitations in my primary communications device. the Android experience may be less polished, but it’s because freedom creates inconsistencies. I’d much rather have the inconsistencies, along with freedom.

Goggle things you can’t do with iPhone.

I usually buy high end devices, that tend to last 4-6 years. I usually choose by camera, battery, and charging speed. I’m currently on a 4 year old Xiaomi that has an great camera, the battery still last over a day, charges 5000 mAh in slightly over an hour. I have never broken a screen or lost a phone in over 30 years. I buy the latest and greatest to make sure my investment lasts.

If they raped your ancestors, which by the way I believe is disingenuous, as Im sure much mixing was consensual (not denying rape though), you are as much the offspring of the rapist as of the raped, you’d do well in starting to acknowledge that you are part of that which you hate.

If a black person has an offspring with a white one, the offspring has the same right to be callen white or black, even though society has’nt realized that yet.

Hergé, the father of Tintin: “Next to him ( Franquin) I am but a poor illustrator”

Franquin took the comic to art level. The way he was able to draw movement has no equal, for example.

If you want to have your mind blown, read the “Ideés Noires”, an adult oriented strip, black on white, (hence the ñame), created while he was under severe depression. I think Goya would have approved.

Wouldn’t a flatter form factor be better for rear mounting?

I can get an I9 32gb 1Tb mini pc for under 500€. Where is the bargain?

There are a few ruggedized phones out there. I bought some cheap Oukitel phones to use as an order pad in restaurant I used to run, because I was fed up with two waitresses dropping and breaking pads. When I sold the business, I kept one. I use it mainly in my boat, as GPS, plotter, speedometer, weather…

The thing drops, gets wet, handled without care.

These phones exist. They are not top performance dogs, but can be quite decent. Why arent they in the front line? Because demand
