I’m guessing that they wouldn’t actually store that amount of data. Probably processing it on the fly and discarding a majority of it.

With modern high capacity drives, it’s possible to have that storage in a single rack. If would probably be about $500,000 worth of drives though.

Food is one of those things that is especially habit forming. If people take beef out of their normal routine, it tends to stay that way, even if the original reason is no longer relevant.

Development cost is still a thing with software.

How are joules less confusing for the purpose of battery life? I’ve heard of exactly zero devices ever that give their energy consumption in joules. I do however, know how to find the power draw of a given device in amps, and then I can very easily estimate how long I can run that device for if I know the battery capacity in amp-hours.

I don’t immediately hate it. It’s been a while since any laptops/prebuilds shipped with less than 8 GB, and there’s distros out there far better suited to running on low power or legacy hardware.

Hopefully it’s just AI tools for development they’re talking about (though that will be bad enough if RHEL becomes vibecoded slop) and not stupid AI “features” baked into the OS.

I’m guessing that a good chunk of that usage is coming from the TrueNAS VM.

What format does the shield not support that other boxes do support?

It astonishes me that the shield is still the best of the streaming boxes after all these years.

Still not sure what you are getting at. With sex and existing, those are themselves the goal, so having a machine do it for you makes no sense. With driving, getting from A to B is the goal, not the act of driving itself, which makes calling a normal cab or a robo-taxi both equally valid ways of achieving the goal if you don’t want to drive.

That middle one kind of sticks out. Seems perfectly valid if your usually walking/biking/using public transportation.

That will be tough. The problem is the chip fabs. The entire auto industry couldn’t get them to budge when they needed chips that the fabs didn’t want to make, so I don’t think Valve has any real chance.

Unless Google’s search AI lied to me (and surely it would never do that) this is all Apple’s fault anyway. They are the one’s that highjacked Ctrl+c for the copy function.

Unfortunately, that has become ingrained now everywhere other than the Linux terminal. And as Gui interfaces have improved over the years, average users are spending less time there, and Ctrl+shift+c has become the option that feels out of place.

I doubt they’ll change that, since Ctrl+Shift+C also opens the dev console on chromium based browsers on Windows (just tried it with Chrome and Edge). Not sure if that’s the behavior on Linux, since I only use Firefox there.

Also, I really doubt that Ctrl+Shift+C behavior is going to factor into people’s decision anyway. That’s a very niche problem to have.

Nice try, but not American.

I’m sorry you don’t like the common colloquial understanding of the term “Left” but that’s what it means to the common person who isn’t steeped in political theory. Hence why leftist on here have to constantly point out that “Liberal” doesn’t fit their definition of “Left”.

Websites not playing nice with Firefox has nothing to do with Firefox itself, and everything to do with lazy web devs only testing with chromium based browsers and maybe Safari.

You have to keep explaining it because you guys keep trying to shift the definition around. The way everyone else has always understood it, “Left” was always short for “Left-wing” and is the umbrella term for everything on the left end of the political spectrum. “Liberal”, “Socialist”, “Communist”, etc, are all subsets of “Left”.

I’m guessing some variation on “capitalism bad”.
