I’m out of touch WRT hardware, but it looks like the PS5 uses something called GDDR memory. Your standard desktop or laptop most likely would use DDR. I’m not familiar with GDDR, though I’m guessing just based on the letters that it helps run graphics; still, it probably would not work with your tower or notebook.

I’m sure someone else in the thread can provide a more informed answer.

Got it. Buy PS5, harvest memory.

The only interaction I ever sort of chose to have with AI was asking Gemini how to turn it off.

It was unable to help me.

That, too.

That was difficult to read, even with ad blocking DNS.

I miss the old cracked.com.

Ricochet?

“Feasible” is possibly a possible option.

I recall this being announced a decade or more ago. At the time, I wasn’t so jaded and was more surprised than anything else that it was opt-out rather than opt-in.

Now I’m more annoyed than surprised.

I haven’t used Manjaro in many many years, but IIRC it was the first distro I used that reliably supported Wi-Fi.

When I started at my current job, every new hire was given the choice of a MacBook or Linux laptop. I only encountered one person who chose the former and he only chose that because he thought it’d be funny to use Windows on a MacBook in his professional environment. (We were allowed to do pretty much whatever with our laptops so long as we could fulfill our work duties. My then manager replaced Ubuntu, with which we were provided, with Arch on his laptop.)

Two or so years later, the IT department said that they didn’t really know how to maintain security compliance on Linux, but they did know JAMF. Thus, they took away our customizable Linux laptops and foisted MacBooks on all of us. I’m pretty sure even the Windows guy lost that, but he was an exec so it probably took longer.

I still remember when they announced that this would happen. They said it without a timeline in the company-wide group chat and someone I respected previously and respected more afterwards said “so when are you taking away our good laptops?”

Indeed, that was as it was described in the book. Apologies for not elaborating.

I remember an Iron Man novel that suggested Tony had poor hearing because he played heavy metal in his helmet while flying from place to place.

This was one of the first two games including an accessible level editor that I ever encountered. I loved the game on its own merits, but I also loved creating multiplayer levels (not that anyone was playing it multiplayer back then).

My favorite level that I created for this game was based on the Mexican hotel shootout from Way of the Gun.

Just doing my job.

I used to work in a call center with a very long spiel for answering the phone. I never used it when someone called me, but one time I had a dream that my phone was ringing at work. I woke up (sort of), picked up my cell phone, and recited the script … Only to finally open my eyes and see I was talking to no one but my befuddled dog.

I bet there are magnets to allow that.

That’s a fair assessment.

My ortho has recently requested that I have some imaging done on my back, but anticipates a surgery to fuse my vertebrae will be needed. After that, from what I’ve been told, I’ll primarily have to conquer psychological barriers.

As a kid, I once heard the theory that aliens are actually time travelers fucking with people.
