Many years ago, when the first quad core CPU’s hit the market, I had a friend working in Intel. I got myself a Q6600 quad core for pennies on the euro and promptly installed Gentoo. Oh how I made that CPU work for the pennies I paid for it.

Honestly it was the only thing at the time to tax a quad core. Most games were not well optimised for 4 cores and more or less nothing else was anything but single threaded.

That’s really clear, thanks. I learned a lot, including learning that I should not try to pronounce Eichhörnchen. :)

I can pronounce it but I don’t think you have too much to worry about pal…I’ve come across that specific word about three times in my whole life.

So… eye-ch-churn-chen?

First bit like Ike (edit: or Reich)

Eye-ch-urn-ken?

Irish and we have that gutteral Ch sound in Irish so I feel like it’s a cheat code for us.

I think many, many native speakers would struggle with those too so if you’re at that level you’re doing really well. Congrats!

Native. I say suttle. It’s a dirty word from the spelling in fairness.

Roo-ter is usually British and former colonies. Row-ter is north America.

There’s a lot of hate for it on here. I actually thought it was grand and loved the ending with the shell suits. Set it up nicely for a change to some proper post apocalyptic shenanigans in the next one.

That’s a tough one. The ol’ competing priorities. Congratulations on the new baby though! I love babies.

I played a little Black Mesa definitive edition. Was fun. I’m not getting much/ any gaming time these days unfortunately.

Instant subscribe with bell for me. Looks like they only put out videos every few months.

Absolutely superb video. Thanks for posting. So much detail!

Eventually it will influence consumer electronics.

It already has and in a big way. I saw one comment on a Jeff Geerling video saying they had bought 96G of DDR5 RAM a year ago for $205 and that it was well over $600 now.

Oh yeah. Sure they’re already minted. Set for life.

Ah you say that, but I lived through the internet bubble. Jeez it was gruesome and then 9/11 hit the next year. Savage times.

Unless it’s considered a national security issue, which it might be, they’re getting fucked without the lube.

I deeply, genuinely, hope that the AI bubble bursts and they get fucked. It’s just so short sighted to not hold on to the safety rope.

Heads up the link in the post text is broken. It links to https://lemmy.world/post/[email protected] for me but should be [email protected]

The honorific would’ve probably been “my Chancellor” if it had been about his political authority

In his case it was very much meant as dictator.

There was debate after Hindenburg died and he took his powers with the plebiscite (as well as chancellor) about what his title should be. He didn’t want to harken back to Kaiser per the previous Reich so they went with Fuhrer.

It had been used within the party before that but came into common usage as his title at that time.

I’m in the thick of a 90 hour audiobook trilogy on the third Reich which is absolutely incredible (link) and Fuhrer is used liberally, partly to describe his ascent to absolute dictator as opposed to just Reich’s Chancellor.

I’m not defending shitopedia for one second! I’m just not sure it’s as outrageous as other shit that’s taking up our limited attention span at the moment is all.
