On the other end of the spectrum: javascript devs widely use a package to tell you if an integer is even. And another one to tell you if the integer is odd; a package with over half a million weekly downloads.

I fucking hate the Javascript ecosystem and developer attitude.

The war continues…

Having the drivers installed is fine and, quite frankly, good; for exactly the reason you point out. When they aren’t being used they are only taking up disk space. And that is OK, nobody is particularly upset with Windows’ disk space.

It is the RAM usage, telemetry, and other running processes that just don’t need to be running. These are the things that make a Windows setup so bloated. One doesn’t need to reach out and tell MS every time you open the start menu, one doesn’t need Candy Crush and One Drive ads appearing in the OS. There is no good way to turn all that off. That is just using resources and making the OS worse for users.

8GB should be fine for Windows 11. However, the OS is so bloated that it simply isn’t.

Microsoft should fix that.

I would look into getting a different contractor.

A drain that is just open at the bottom is terrifying. And while accidents do happen, refusing to acknowledge this is wrong means he is likely hiding other issues you didn’t happen to notice.

“AAAAAAH! THEY’RE ON THE CUSP OF ATTACKING!”

Then they should stop threatening to attack Taiwan. Threats of attack make people think you might attack.

Apparently I’m the Luddite here for sticking with the light switch on the wall that has always just worked. ;p

‘point of no return’

Prices return once supply is returned.

The Guardian is being very dramatic here.

Wealthy folks (in general) are heavily involved in property and consequently pay considerable property taxes. This is something everyone is quite equal on.

It is taxed as the post describes due to being a limited resource, unlike financial instruments, which are not a limited resource.

‘Layoffs to focus on AI’ at this point seems to be the in-vogue way to distract investors from the poor financials that are driving the layoffs.

Whatever % of the general budget goes toward roads. Money is fungible, this has the same answer as: What portion of sales tax pays for roads, what portion of income tax pays for roads, what portion of land tax pays for roads?

The important part here is that you do pay taxes when you charge your EV. We don’t need to double tax EVs.

The suit says after the rollout, DoorDash delivery drivers were able to see when pizzas would come out of the oven. They would wait up to 15 minutes for multiple orders to be ready before grabbing them, slowing down delivery, according to the lawsuit.

Was it the AI system or the DoorDash integration that caused the issues?

EVs already pay electricity tax when they charge. We don’t need to double tax EV ownership.

And this is on top of the fact you pay an electric tax when you charge.

EVs in Washington are already double taxed!

Electric cars pay electricity tax. Gas cars pay gasoline tax. We don’t need to tax electric cars even more.

Making Trump look weak is probably the only thing that would convince him to donate arms to Ukraine. Russia cannot afford for the USA to start that up again; Russia is struggling hard with only Europe donating arms.

Putin is bogged down in his war of conquest; his oil export terminals thrashed and refineries burnt. He doesn’t have the ability to do anything else. See also: Syria and Armenia.

Russia is bogged down in their war of conquest; they don’t have the ability to do anything else. See also: Syria and Armenia.

It always struck me as…poor…to not require a password for decryption. If you require zero knowlege from me, that means a stolen has everything inside needed to decrypt all the data.

And well, lookie there at the article!

8GB of VRAM just isn’t worth it. Hold onto what you got for now.
