I honestly like the new mobile experience. It seems more tidy.

When people say that it's "literally unusable" I'm like "what the fuck were you using it for?"

Trump's own lawyers said that the president could kill his political adversaries and be free from any charges.

My state has open primaries and I voted for Haley. Not because I support her but because giving her a boost in the primaries will be a good foil for Trump.

And, if in the small chance she gets the nom, she might actually be easier to beat than Trump. Not holding my breath on that one though.

Free. Your. Browser.

Eh....having been on both sides of contracts like this.... typically a kill clause is sided heavily toward the one with money.

And even if it wasn't, Tesla has more money to drag out the fight in court long enough that the pie company won't be able to survive.

Car companies have definitely imagined this. And if they could, they 100% would.

Why text? Upload porn. Then contact another conservative state's Attorney General saying they should block the Indiana site for having porn.

This is why first past the post sucks...

We need ranked choice voting and we need it yesterday.

Iirc most laws do cover threats but aren't enforceable due in large part of the first amendment. So threats are only enforced when there is real, imminent danger to the victim.

Even in cases of threatening the president, you get a visit from the Secret Service and charges are rare.

I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.

I think it was an episode of Suits or something similar where a guy was divorcing his wife but wanted to hide certain legal assets but hide it from his wife.

The episode made it sound like he had to launder the money so it looked like, on paper, it didn't belong to him and it implied that it wasn't legal but they did it anyway. I can't remember the details but basically why I asked.

Slightly related question: is money laundering, in itself, illegal?

Like, say I have $1000 from my regular W-2 job, taxes paid.

I launder it through a bunch of accounts. Is that illegal?

Or is it the mixing with dirty funds that makes it illegal?

And if he doesn't legitimately win, he will make damn sure he wins illegitimately.

The stigma is that windows tries to shove one drive down your throat.

When I first set up windows 10 a while back, they told me that a Microsoft account was required to make it function. I sighed and followed along and then saw how every time I opened the start menu, it'd say "your files are out of sync! Activate OneDrive to make sure your files stay safe."

It's a dark pattern. If I wanted OneDrive, I'd install it.

Now I have to jump through hoops anytime I do a fresh windows install to ensure that it allows me to use a local account....which should fucking be the default.

I typically code a lot of back-end and processor intensive workloads. The issue I have with i5s is that they don't seem to be as "snappy" as i7s. I've worked with both for good long periods of time. When I had an i5 laptop, I had to off-load a good majority of my development to the cloud because I couldn't do containers and listen to music and run two monitors at the same time. I never had the same issue with i7 processors, even on a laptop.

My biggest pet peeve is when an up and coming thot takes one pic and spams it everywhere.

I end up blocking a ton of content creators as a result of that. I don't need to see your same exact pic in 20 different communities.

Oooh, I had not considered that but thank you for the recommendation. The only thing I don't like about these PCs is that they all have RGB lighting. I really don't need this and I don't get their appeal.

Are CUDAs something that I can select within pcpartpicker? Or is this like a cloud thing?

With the conversations I'm having here, I'm leaning in the direction of integrated video (assuming I can get one with display port) and a discrete card just for AI work.

I use VirtualBox for VMs. I'm assuming there are instructions on how to give the card to the VM? My cursory google search came up with dubious results.

I just checked the specs for the M.2 NVMe drive that I pulled from an old laptop. It's read speed is 3000mbs so it looks like I'm good there. Thanks for the heads up though.
