I have a Garmin Instinct and I can definitely recommend their hardware, but their mobile app to link for notifications and health stats is flaming hot garbage and never actually worked for me.

And why are both watches a “2” variant?

Because this is the next generation of the original Pebble watches.

Core 2 Duo

I'll actually be surprised if this makes it to launch without Intel perhaps making a few legal calls and prompting a device name change.

Bigger hammer and a concrete surface. Three good whacks to the thin sheet metal casing (opposite the drive motor/PCB) should shatter the platters inside.
You can also buy a sharp punch that looks like this and punch thru the sheetmetal side to really get those platters broke.

Realistically if they're already failed, nobody is going through the effort to send these disks through any kind of speciality recovery for a random john q public anyway.

A CPU, at its basic level, does math and logic. GHZ is a measure of electrical frequency, aka how fast the switches inside a CPU turn on and off per second; it is only tangentially, loosely related to the amount of math and logic per second that the CPU can do.

Like the other commenter said, IPC, or instructions per clock, measures how much "stuff" a CPU can do each time it's control signal switches on and off. More advanced modern CPU's can do more stuff per clock, both because of architecture improvements, and because there are more "cores" (CPU's inside the CPU, basically). And because of the difference in architecture and other behaviors, it's hard to "apples to apples" compare CPU's. I could take a 4 core cpu from 2012 and a 4 core cpu from today, have them both run at 4ghz, and the modern one would run circles around the 2012 cpu.

The better way to shop for modern processors is not to look at nameplate numbers like GHz. Instead you should find multiple independent software benchmarks that can apply a relative number to the amount of math and logic a CPU can do per second, which allows you to accurately compare different processors side by side. Software like Cinebench does this. There are multiple artificial benchmarks that show performance in many different workloads, pick one out that is most similar to what you would do on a daily basis.

Many review sites like tomshardware will also provide additional data, like core temperatures and power consumption under load, to provide a fuller image of what a CPU can do and what its drawbacks might be.

HAHAHAHAHA, having dealt with such university admins for way too fucking long, you're a real jokester if you believe that administrative costs are going to be the first to get cut at universities.

And to add onto this, very high P/E ratios can often indicate a stock is artificially overvalued. Typical p/e's on the DJIA average out to around 20, and most companies will have P/E's between 5 to 30... a P/E of 90 indicates a huge, huge value bubble.

All they're going to do now is shut down a huge source of higher education income (as international tuition is significantly higher at most institutions). Simultaneously while removing all federal funding and support, seems very convenient to trigger a wholesale collapse of the university system.

Cars. Love me some good engines and nice classic muscle builds, but Holy fuck I swear to christ 95% of all the mouth breathing troglodytes that are into "cars" but spend half of the show talking about God Trump this and God Trump that make me want to put my Cadillac in a fucking crusher.

I listened to one episode of Meidas out of curiosity and... how would anyone even listen to that? It's just an hourlong stream of soundbyte after soundbyte of Trump cronies followed by two or three guys mocking whatever the cronies said without any substance. Straight up waste of my time and phone storage space.

Ask for water from a bottle only, then drink without letting it touch your lips.

Any normal computer can become a "server", its all based on the software.
Most enterprise server hardware is expensive because its designed around demanding workloads where uptime and redundancy is important. For a goober wanting to start a Minecraft and Jellyfin server, any old PC will work.
For home labbers office PC's is the best way to do it. I have two machines right now that are repurposed office machines. They usually work well as office machines generally focus on having a decent CPU and plenty of memory without wasting money on a high end GPU, and can be had used for very cheap (or even free if you make friends that work in IT). And unless you're running a lot of game servers or want a 4k streaming box, even a mediocre PC from 2012 is powerful enough to do a lot of stuff on.

Regardless of the obvious moneygrab corruption, It's not like the fiber program was ever going to work in the first place as long as private ISP's were involved.

Fiber backbone got installed along 25 miles of rural county highway out in the valley my parents live in. The company paid to do it marks the area as "service coming soon".
That was in 2018. The fiber is still dark with all the distribution boxes empty and not hooked up to anything, the only other options being $110/mo DSL in a very few select spots, a local mountaintop microwave wireless service that is basically turned off from November until April, or Starlink... and I'm guessing it'll forever remain that way until the coming collapse of the USA.

To do it properly, you’d need to a much bigger chamber so that the air in the executed’s lungs would be easily displaced, or a way to filter the CO2 out of the air they’re breathing

You don't even need any of that, you just need a positive pressure, constant circulation mask that vents a continuous stream of nitrogen, so that any exhaled co2 is immediately flushed out and replaced by nitrogen. But of course nobody on this side of the "just ice" system gives a shit about "improving" such a process.

They've never declared war, yet we've almost constantly been at war. Real weird, that one.

NY times doing a lot of ball gargling as usual.
No shit, the US isn't a safe place to live in anymore, nobody should come here period.

Guess I have to start carrying my passport and a photocopy of birth certificate in my EDC bag now.

Lmao. Nah. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

I have more productive things to be doing with my life than arguing with a bad-faith brick wall. Bye!

Here before 6-3 to get fucked
