The loophole you’re unaware of is that cars over 24 years old are exempt from the testing that needs to be done before a car can be considered legal to drive. People are just importing those ones and driving them

I paid attention to that and my page when I signed up said that sign-ups closed and the queue randomization began at 10am Pacific, and the email would be sent when the queue randomization concluded, then the emails for people who made it onto the launch batch queue would begin receiving emails on the 29th. At 9:47am Pacific on the 26th I received the email saying I was in queue and would receive the email to purchase when my queue spot was reached. Just under 24 hours seems a pretty reasonable time for randomization and sending out the emails, especially given the already announced 3 days before the purchase emails even go out

It’s got presets in the Skip App for the Shield that I’ve found some success with carryover to a no-name Chinese Android TV box off Amazon

My Roku TVs have been so shit, riddled with ads to the point that they lagged on start, for so many years that they’ve both been factory reset without internet connectivity and set to boot directly to other hardware that runs the only app I used on the damn things better than they did despite being $40 purchases

Yeah, sire is Kids Classic Style and mare was Lookin Touchable

Yeah, pretty much all of them are built that way, and if they get tilted you’re supposed to wait an hour at the absolute barest minimum, preferably 4-6, and ideally 24 hours, because the oil can work its way into the bits that actually compress and if you turn it on with barely compressable oil in the parts that are meant to compress gas it can just die

In junior year, brand new at the nice newly built charter school that had the first day start at 11am because the building crew was literally still there putting in last minute stuff, and a lot of it still didn’t work until they finished finished over the next weekend. That one had a blurb about how some states called it War of Northern Aggression.

Sophomore year, though, that was the actual title of the section, and I don’t remember how old the books at that school were because the only thing I remember from that year other than course material is hearing a teacher say, obviously in earshot of students since I heard it, that no one was gonna bother to fix the fire alarm because the district zoning made our school “the ethnic dumping ground” (exact words)

In high school in North Carolina in 2007-2009, my textbooks had the War of Northern Aggression in them, but the one teacher I remember told us that that name was bullshit

Because obviously you want to Add A Printer, and that’s the only thing they can conceive of. If you wanted to uninstall something, why install it in the first place? Everything Microsoft provides on first install is vital, so it can’t be any of that stuff

That’s what the test is, as it seems to be primarily designed for workstations that need rapid swappable GPUs, but the point of the article is that it’s a new port that could be included on things like laptops and provide the GPU at 97.7% bandwidth, basically yes a riser cable, but that’s a 50+% increase over the best available eGPU solutions for laptops, which does seem like a pretty good increase

GOG also allows DRM, it’s just not as common

I didn’t even notice the tsp, I just looked at the info for 60g of butter to compare to 60g of chili sauce

That’s actually about on par with butter, so it’s not that insane

The plug in systems aren’t meant to provide power on their own, they’re meant to supplement grid power and reduce energy costs for the purchaser. They don’t provide electricity unless some is already detected on the line, for the exact reason you ask

The thing I’ve seen is that when they show dogs an image of their owner while the dog is in a PET scan, and show the dog pictures of other animals, the same part of the brain lights up, while showing the dog pictures of other dogs lights up a different but close area of the brain. Doing the same test on cats had one area lighting up for other animals, but the same part lighting up when shown their owner and when shown other cats

It’s both, and also shōnen, it’s got several recognized romanizations

I’m a fast reader but still watch the dub unless it’s garbage, because if I want to read an anime I’ll just pick up the manga

A Wikipedia article about floors reminds you of a weird lie you heard one time?

On the GPU side, yes and no, since the CPU and GPU are partitioned from each other and the temp of one doesn’t have any effect on the other, but we were getting the same frame rate with mine at ~75 and his 2060 running to around 84. I know someone else who had the case with a 1080 in it (180W vs the 2060’s 160W, or my 1650S’s 130W overclock) running at similar temps to mine while destroying both. It really comes down to using good exhaust fans, which he was not (and one of his just wasn’t spinning and he never stopped to find out why or fix it)

Edit for clarification: I’m saying the exhaust fans (a choice he made) are the limiting factor because his 2060 is running against the built in “something is wrong” limit where the GPU starts to downclock itself, because the same case with proper exhaust fans can handle a higher wattage card and allow OC room to a lower wattage card

You know that feeling where someone seems to know what they’re doing in an area you don’t know a lot about, so you trust what they say, and then they cover an area you do know a lot about and you realize they never knew what they were doing, they just knew more than you and how to make it look good?

I had that disconnect in 2019 when LTT, primarily Linus himself, did a Velkase Velka 3 video and did so much wrong that his gaming results were worse than my personal build, which is an accomplishment because we used the same CPU (R7 3700X), he had a 2060 and I was using a 1650 Super, and my system was running quieter and 10°C cooler on both CPU and GPU temps. I heard about the rest later, but looking at when that video was posted, I stopped trusting that Linus/LTT did any research at all in October 2019, because when you buy a bad CPU cooler, bad PSU, bad exhaust fans that you can’t even set properly, and test the system at default settings, it’s very clear you didn’t even try.

Linus messing up building the case because he didn’t read the instructions? Entirely justifiable, makes for very funny camera things, there’s the entertainment part of your infotainment. It’s a wacky case made explicitly for an extreme niche of an extreme niche of a (fairly) niche hobby, and Linus is funny when he’s winging it on the aesthetics part. Concluding that something is too hot and too loud for use unless your parents are divorced and you need to take your pc to the other house every week, when you caused it to be hot and loud by putting 0 effort into something because you didn’t just like, ask someone who knows what they’re doing?
