that would drive up the price of ram in China too, which would likely make the CCP quite cross with them. Electronics are a huge export and the Chinese government has to worry about entire cities going offline or having to pivot their entire industrial sectors if the shortage lasts too long.

DRAM is a global commodity. Kind of like how Iran selling oil to China affects the price of WTI crude.

i think. I’m not a fuckin economist I just like to sound smart

He’s stupid, but in this instance I think he’s just bullshitting for spacex’s sake. Even he is capable of putting together the fact that the costs required to build (not to mention service) an orbital data center far outweigh the costs of swapping out the genset for the same exact solar panels you would have otherwise put on the rocket. Maybe you need more panels to make up for atmospheric transmission and the day/night cycle but he (or let’s be real, grok) has ready access to the cost of a single starship launch and a calculator.

If and only if someone is insane enough to develop off-planet manufacturing with the bulk of the raw materials originating from somewhere in deep space, e.g. asteroid mining, putting data centers in space might be useful for problems that demand intensive compute and can work with extreme latency.

Then again that’s like saying inventing the airplane would have been a good strategy for Neanderthals to find better firewood.

It works well, until it doesn’t. That first part lulls people into complacency. I rented a Kia last year that had automatic cruise control and lane keep assist and it kept me on the road far past when I should have pulled over and taken a nap from being sleep deprived after a redeye flight. Dangerous? Yes. Skill issue? Maybe. What I took away from the experience is that it is frighteningly easy to get used to a thing “just working” and forget about its limitations when it is convenient. I also learned that I do not want lane keep assist or automatic cruise control in my personal car.

They turn into a soup-like homogenate. As is natural in the life cycle of a lab mouse.

And if they weren’t euthanized they would almost certainly die of horrible horrible cancerous tumors. Not because of anything the labs do, but because it’s a crime against nature for a mouse to live past maybe 2 years.

Could you elaborate wrt Fedora being a shitshow? It’s my daily driver and I haven’t experienced any kind of instability and (to my knowledge) I have not been compromised.

Lemmy Commenter Eviscerates CNBC Over Editorial Practices

fantastic, now they can tell which specific parts of the jeep ad get my blood pumping

HSPA+ is not 4G. It has a max theoretical throughput of 168Mbit. It was sold as 4G. Same with Wimax and earlier LTE implementations.

Ah yeah I got that and then kinda lost scope reading the reply. Non sequitur for a non sequitur.

mistakes like selling the evolutionary upgrade of the previous generation as the revolutionary next generation? That kind of mistake?

Never forget that the original 4G spec promised gigabit.

Sure, but in the case of an accident that footage is ammunition. Maybe the other party was eating a four course dinner and cranking their hog, but unless they had an interior camera too you can’t prove a thing. These cameras seem like they would be a disadvantage in court no matter what.

I wonder why that might be.

I’ve never bought (and probably will never buy) anything from Temu because they sell a lot of cheap crap, but I’ve gotta say I find their business model fascinating.
