I just read today that the newest version of ROCm (5.7.1) supports the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, the first consumer GPU to have official support in a long time. That one is about three times your budget, so there is no way to get an officially supported one. Reportedly some unsupported models work too, but I'd say you're looking at a lot of hurdles here.
One with a fluid electrolyte. That includes current Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer batteries, as well as the older Nickle-Metal Hydride and Lead-Acid batteries.
Oh yes, sure you can, 140 dB is 0.000014 MB. The confusing thing is just that the non-SI unit byte also uses the symbol "B" and uses the SI prefix "M" quite often.
Sometimes when I calculate optical power levels I actually use B in between. For example:
How much signal is 88 optical channels at 1.6 dBm of power each?
0 dBm = 1 mW by definition
1.6 dB = 0.16 B = log10 ( x ) --> x = 10 ^ 0.16 = 1.45
So 1.6 dBm is 1.45 * 1 mW = 1.45 mW
Then 88 channels is 88 * 1.45 mW = 127.60 mW = 127.60 * 1 mW
log10(127.60) = 2.11 B = 21.1 dB
So 127.20 mW is 21.1 dBm, just below the output specification of our amplifier, good, nothing should melt.
As a kid I had my own PC early and my dad set it up left handed for me. Now I've played games left handed in general for 23 years, and shooters in particular for 15 years already, it's too late to relearn :-)
An abortion you can't even get rid of! Its icon is stuck the dock forever, even if you use something better like Forklift. The whole mac GUI is just shit.
My father just had the electricians pull in Cat 7 Ethernet at a friends place, but they used Cat 6 terminators. After that fiasco we were also discussing if it woulnd't have been simpler to have them pull fiber and use media converters plus a switch with some SFP+ and SFP slots.
The best model in my opinion is if a municipality lays the fiber, then opens the infrastructure up for renting under FRAND terms to all ISPs. When I say infrastructure here, I mean both the fibers and the associated rack space on the other end of the fibers, including power and cooling.
Regarding the specific questions in your post body; I think you should be fine, because a smaller ISP is not as much of a target for intellectual property enforcement, and they probably won't have a big compliance team like the big ISPs can afford.
The internet isn't worse, it's just the web. The Internet is much better actually:
There are more subsea cables with more capacity, the Internet is meshed better these days. Losing any single subsea cable doesn't have as much of an impact as it used to.
Additionally you don't need to cache stuff with reverse proxies in each AS anymore because long distance transmission has gotten way cheaper, and more available.
The last mile issues are also solved, though for now only in densly populated areas in advanced economies. With fiber connections to individual dwellings you get scaling that's infinite for practical purposes. This also means you can have a gigabit connection end to end without bloating buffers on DSL or DOCSIS modems.
Yeah looks like the ogg vorbis files the site uses just have bad data in one field, and an older version of firefox was able to play them anyway, so they added back the special case.
The internet is the result of networks connecting to other networks. If you aim to replace that, then how? Making new networks just expands the internet, making new interconnections just makes it more meshed.
You would have to make networks not connected to the internet but interconnected with each other. That's expensive and all the economic network effects are against you. You probably won't have many users connected and not many services either.
But let's say you did it, what exactly is the benefit of a second internet? Would you be banning some networks from connecting to your mesh? What if one network in your internet connects to the normal Internet anyway? What sort of technologies and services would there be, just the normal ones, then what changes?
Honestly I don't see the point. A concentration of economic power and influence over web technologies is the issue. The internet works fine, and we make it work every day (my specific corner being research networks in Switzerland). You need to change the producer and consumer behaviour of people and companies using the internet, not the internet itself.
The CLI is not for programmers, it's just a way of using your computer. My dad does it too, he set up his raspberry pi that way. He works in healthcare and has never programmed in his life.
According to Statcounter, the worldwide Windows version desktop market share puts Windows 10 at 71.64 percent, with Windows 11 trailing at 23.61 percent.
To put that in context, Windows 11 was launched two years ago today. Windows 10 was launched in 2015 and took two years to reach the same market share as the then-dominant player, Windows 7.
Comparing the numbers of the move from 7 to 10 to that from 10 to 11 ignores that whole shitshow with 8.0 and the correction of 8.1.
Of course it's easier for 10 to dethrone 7 when there is the spoiler effect of 8 and 8.1!
