The claim being made by the right is that they have to get rid of DEI to make it more of a meritocracy where people are hired only due to their ability and experience. This clearly shows they give zero shits about a meritocracy.

The problem is OP assumes that they have any kind of shame or that double standards and cognitive dissonance isn’t just their natural state at this point.

Yes but then they’ll just put another Democrat in his place. This way he has one he can force into doing his bidding holding charges above his head.

Wonder if they have betting odds on another March outbreak and lockdown.

AI. Consumers get the leftovers that can’t be binned high enough to be H100s that they can sell for 30k a piece to companies doing AI work. The 50 series uses the same node as the 40 series, so they stopped production on the 40s to allocate time to the new chips. Of course this has the nice effect of stopping cannibalization of sales when it turns out the 5080 is basically a 4080 super and would be binned as a x070 or x060 Ti part in prior gens.

Either way it looks like they only started working on them early January based on some investigation so far (https://youtu.be/wMd2WHKnceI) so there’s likely only a couple thousand 5090s even in existence.

Out here fighting for eggs like scalpers fighting for RTX 5090s.

My area was forced to do well by our governor, which naturally meant they wanted to thank her by plotting to kidnap and murder her.

I hear the mafia is looking for pizza delivery drivers.

Oh don’t worry, they’re going to try and kill that too before it hurts them too much, and with the audacity of calling it the “American Privacy Rights Act”. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/eff-opposes-american-privacy-rights-act

How about pass and enforce strong digital privacy protection laws you fucking cowards. When other countries spy on us it’s scary and bad, but for US companies? Best we can do is ban porn and demand backdoors to stop E2EE messaging.

So they’re just making “We have God of War at home” now. Everything they’ve put out about this game has made me more and more apprehensive. Guess I just have to accept that Origins was a one-hit wonder and they have no idea how or desire to recapture that.

You’ll have a whole 10 years before they grab you for the Near-Death Star

Probably shouldn’t have included Project Plowshare in the training data…

Ubiquiti’s Unifi and TP-Link’s Omada are certainly trying to edge in on Meraki from the Prosumer level (and not having to pay license fees to unlock hardware you already have is a plus). They both have local control hardware / software too if you don’t trust them with your data.

Fortinet was on my shortlist, along with OPNsense’s prebuilt hardware. Ended up just sticking with Mikrotik and getting 10Gb going for less than half the price though. Might be overkill but sure makes my media server and backups faster. Now if only Windows could actually saturate the link and not struggle to get 5Gb

I too would not be picky with a free $4,000 router, especially one that doesn’t lock fucking everything down without licensing (thanks Cisco).

TLD is just another DNS layer, try an SOA or NS lookup for “com.” those are obviously hosted somewhere. Hell the “.” at the end is even another layer with the root nameservers. You’d probably trip up a bunch of systems that filter on common convention rather than the actual RFC, but you could do it.

What? No it’s totally different, our Gandalf is named Allanon and he’s a Druid, not a Wizard. Druids get a d8. And the Warlock Lord’s Skull Bearers are definitely not Nazgul, they fly with wings not horses.

Same thing that happened with the Shannara TV show. MTV wanted a kid friendly fantasy romance competitor to GoT, so they butchered a series that’s basically none of those things. They also started with book 2 for whatever reason.
