  • It'd be nice to have that - yeah. My company issued me a laptop that only had 16gb of RAM to try and build Android projects.

    Idk if you know Gradle builds but a multi module project regularly consumes 20+GB of ram during a build. Despite the cost difference being paid for in productivity gains within a month it took 6 months and a lot of fighting to get a 32gb laptop.

    My builds immediately went from 8-15 minutes down to 1-4.

  • Resources are just way cheaper than developers.

    It's a lot cheaper to have double the ram than it is to pay for someone to optimize your code.

    And if you're working with code that requires that serious of resource optimization you'll invariably end up with low level code libraries that are hard to maintain.

    ... But fuck the Always on internet connection and DRM for sure.

  • Define expensive?

    Because labor isn't the main cost of fast food as far as I'm aware. Doubling the wage of laborers saw only modest price changes in places that hiked minimum wage... Despite franchise owners being able to set their own prices.

    McDonald's near me in NYC is more expensive than Alabama, sure - but it's not double the price. ~$20 for 2 people to have 2 large meals with drinks is eminently reasonable.

  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_identity_card

    It's actually fascinating. Asymmetric keys with public keys hosted by the government and the private key in your ID.

    A 4 digit pin1 code is required to use the authorization key and a 5 digit pin2 is required to use the signing key.

    The average Estonian signs 50 documents per year using this method.

  • I mean... They have though. It's not in bing.com but "Microsoft copilot" is their newly rebranded Bing + AI search engine, which they're embedding directly into desktops. They've been doing the AI summaries longer than Google has afaik.

  • Idk if you watched the video but the reason it works is mentioned in the video, if not explored in detail.

    You have a digital id and a digital signature that is tied to you as a citizen.

    Each vote has to be signed with your personal voter signature.

  • Government biometric requirements really aren't a joke. They perform pretty regular audits and the liability of not deleting ID could be company ending.

    They might not delete your biometrics, but I'd be shocked if they didn't. It's far more likely that they not only delete it but have an audit trail proving deletion.

  • It's not extracted as-is from yams. Yams have diosgenin - which needs to be extracted, cleaned and then put through a few chemical processes to be useful.

    Plants are viable sources of precursors not of the end result, and many of these precursors aren't useful in biological processes.

    Scientific studies have not shown Men to have substantial estrogen level changes from drinking soy.

  • The only advantage we have is that we have an increasing number of bike lanes parallel to major thoroughfares. While there's the prevalent issue of trucks parking in the lanes they are, for the most part, clear and in reasonable condition.

  • D2 Is where they took the general fragments of lore and organized them into a plot arc - story elements from the first game (Xivu for example) are all culminating in a final showdown that releases June 4 with the last raid June 7

  • Always keyboard and mouse, never controller.

    But yeah I've looked into alternative setups but it ultimately always means additional hardware to run the windows games.

    My main machine is 95% gaming and 5% hobby work in CAD (also not on Linux) for 3dprinting.

    Any coding is already a Linux laptop thing.

  • Not just Europe either. 172 countries use NFC passports, all of which have your full biometric info (including a high res headshot) encoded onto the chip.

    If you've ever had a passport your face is known to the government of your country and searchable in a database.
