Christmas is a central and recurring theme throughout Die Hard 1. From events happening at a Christmas party, to minimal staffing due to the holidays, to McClane’s presence in the city at all, to “Now I have a machine gun Ho-ho-ho”

Little need, but not no need. They need to have a vague path, and something to show for it.


Bitcoin mining doesn’t normally use GPUs. They use dedicated ASICs. Far more effective, and cheaper in every way.
In addition, AI is in the “growth at any cost” phase. There is a TON of investor money to burn, with little need to show future profitability.
Are they from China/Chinese clients? A number of these are modified to never seed, so they always show as having 0%.


I think he’s trying to say there should be more taboo. That there should be a lot more restrictions than just consent.
I’m glad he’s dead.


You’re getting downvoted, but I experienced much of the same. So much misogyny and, looking back on it, toxic masculinity. I vividly remember the bit where they used tape to illustrate “purity” of not having multiple partners.
This would’ve been the late 90s, US Midwest.
ETA: I wouldn’t say it went quite as far as describing women as “submissive cum dumpsters”, but it definitely implied the women don’t enjoy sex and only did it to satisfy their partner.


Do you understand the code, what it’s doing, and why it’s doing that? If not, then do not use an LLM for it.


It’s literally in the sub headline of the linked article
Doctors have long recommended that infants avoid peanut products. But in 2017, experts officially reversed that guidance, and food allergies decreased sharply.
I have no idea where you came up with what you posted.


Thinkpads are enterprise machines, so they aren’t really designed for gaming. But there’s a lot of overlap with things like graphics rendering, so they do have some options.
The T series is the standard corporate line (usually T14) for the average office worker. These sometimes have a dGPU available. You’d probably want something in the P line, but those are much more expensive.


Much like the consumer lines from other brands, it’s a lot of cost-cutting. Plastic everything, hinges that break prematurely, limited power filtering, that sort of thing.
One that frequently pops up (although I’m not familiar with that particular model) is poor cooling. Heat kills many gaming laptops, either directly or indirectly. That can mean needing more fans/bigger vents, being unable to clean them, or liquid metal thermal paste that leaks and shorts out.


Don’t just consider the brand. You have to consider the line/model.
Lenovo’s consumer lines (Ideapad, Legion, and others) are all absolute garbage, and you shouldn’t consider them for even a second. But their enterprise line (Thinkpad) is generally very, very good. The main problem is that they’re expensive.
Asus is strictly consumer-grade. They do not have an enterprise line. Their build quality is among the best you can find in consumer-grade, but enterprise-grade is always higher quality than consumer-grade.
I would never leave an OEM load on it, so privacy isn’t much of a concern for me. I suspect they’re both pretty bad in this regard.


It means (at least in theory) that they’ll keep her frozen for 30 years, instead of changing direction and letting her melt after 5.


Spend the money and get concert earplugs. Not only will it save money (a basic set is only about $30), and fit better, but the event will sound better. Those foam ones are great to protect your ears, but they muffle the sound. Great if you’re around power tools and the like, but terrible if you’re at a concert
Concert earplugs (I have Loops, but there are countless options and each has its fans) lower the volume without significantly changing the sound. You can still hear your favorite songs, and they sound correct.


The very first line:
A loss leader (also leader) is a pricing strategy where a product is sold at a price below its market cost to stimulate other sales of more profitable goods or services.
So the answer to their question is “Yes, a loss leader needs to lead to something”. I have no idea why you think they have no idea what they’re talking about.


Not OP, but the most obvious and popular alternative to Adguard DNS is a (self-hosted) Pi-hole. That setup is effectively protected from such attacks, in no small part because it’s self-hosted.


It’s not that Google’s algorithms got bad, but the entire Internet turned to shit and they can’t compensate for it.
For anything not time-sensitive, try adding “before:2023” to your search. I’m betting the quality of your results will skyrocket.
ETA: fixed autocorrect


For more information on the subject, Microsoft has been fighting this battle, largely unsuccessfully, for years.

It’s also why they had Azure Germany - an instance where they were not actually in control and data could remain sovereign. I believe it’s now defunct, or at least restricted.


If it’s working fine in 10, it’s very unlikely to be a hardware fault. Possible (but unlikely) a hardware configuration.
The answer was almost certainly drivers. While I acknowledge that you were unsuccessful at changing them, that is still where your issues came from. You probably could’ve fixed it WinPE/WinRE, which is admittedly way more complicated than it should be.


I’m not sure that “AuthenticAMD” is any better. There’s probably an entire table of words like this that we should be wary of.
That said, this took me down a small rabbit hole of CPUIDs. I want one with “AMDisbetter!” Or “CyrixInstead”
During US prohibition, there were “grape bricks” with warnings not to dissolve in water and place in a cupboard for 20 days, because then it would turn into wine.
A simple negation probably won’t cut it legally (the bricks had a significant legal purpose), but you could probably word it in a similar way. For instance, “While VPNs are effective at anonymizing yourself during piracy, they can also protect your privacy from data mining ad companies”.
At some point, you’ll have to conspicuously avoid the topic and let people infer. Remember when high-speed connections were advertised as being great to “download movie trailers”?
