This doesn't remove all background checks, so "immediately and without precondition" is facetious.

I agree with not selling weapons to known maniacs, but I also believe that if the govt knows someone's dangerous enough that they shouldn't own a gun for self defense, they already should have been removed from the general population and arrested/imprisoned etc, as they are still very dangerous to the general population without said firearm.

What a lot of whataboutism. I'm against all of that, too, but I can also be against limits on my rights of self defense.

It's an adjustable monkey claw-back pry wrench. Check McMaster's catalog

Driving two 4k monitors at 10b120hz is pretty overkill to use thunderbolt for, is kind of my point. Is anyone actually being limited by that?

Even with cameras, the storage generally isn't that fast. CFexpress cards cant generally break 2GB/s, and even 8+k cameras generally record to that or maybe USB-C (and if you're recording to a USBC device you're probably just gonna use USBC instead of thunderbolt).

NVMe that can do sustained write speeds like that will be full in a few minutes, unless you're offloading to a massive high speed array over 10+gbit networking it just kind of seems like why bother?

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of going to faster interfaces for the sake of speed, but I have experienced almost zero real use of thunderbolt in real life, and I usually keep a pretty good eye out. My real question was mostly focused on whether there are people actually using thunderbolt and if they're actually limited by 40gbps and I'm kinda just bitching at this point

Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!

It is neither amperes per hour nor watts per hour. Those imply division (1 watt, over two hours, would be 1/2 a watt per hour. Useless as a unit for most of us). Ah and Wh are amps or watts multiplied by hours, pronounced as amp-hours or watt-hours (1 watt, for 2 hours, would be 2 watt-hours)

Morally and legally, yes

Anything besides parts and manuals.

Requirements for devices to be feasibly repairable in the first place. A phone that's effectively a brick of glue is still unrepairable regardless of whether you can buy overpriced parts for it.

If the enforcement mechanism for "fair" pricing is for the general public to file a lawsuit, I can guarantee that pricing isn't going to be very reasonable.

Apple devices are notoriously hard to repair not just because they don't provide a $50,000 diagnostic kit and overpriced parts, they're hard to repair because they're designed to be disposable. This bill does absolutely nothing to change that, which is probably why Apple supported it. Good PR with completely avoidable consequences for them

I'm not one of the maniacs making threats of any kind, but honestly it really seems like death threats are the only thing that gets any attention anymore, so I can understand why it's done...

Is "eat the rich" not a death threat in its own right?

Does anything even use thunderbolt 4's bandwidth? About the only thing I've seen is external GPUs and even that is a ludicrously niche use case.

I'd be much more excited about a post about something using TB4 to its fullest. All I can think reading this title is "who cares?" Is someone going to make a reasonably priced and even remotely convenient 40gbps ethernet card for TB5? No. Do my NVME drives go past 40gbps? Generally not, but I could've seen use for fast drives plugged into tb4/5 at least. Is anyone using TB4/5 for datacenter interconnects where this speed would actually be useful? I doubt it.

Does anyone reading this post use tb4 on a daily basis and feel limited in any way?

All of that is inherent in self hosting anything publicly accessible. You wouldn't start off a reply to someone setting up openvpn with "you're in for a world of hurt," would you?

As someone who also has 15+ years of experience in the field and is currently infosec management, it's not that bad. Certainly not something I'd say "you're in for a world of hurt" about like somebody just bought a bad timeshare.

Especially if you're not hosting production email for a company and you're not leaving the server as an open relay, it isn't very painful at all.

You could also be less condescending, but as you said: your call. :)

Definitely will want to see photos. It sounds like there could be something stuck between heatsink and PCB causing the warp

Iirc there's also no split screen co-op. I was so excited for MCC until I learned they pulled it out

I love the idea but I'm not sure how you'd choose which scale to use in real-time. I'll be interested to see how it comes along

Think they're referring to the blahaj/ada dramalord stuff with lemmynsfw.

Almost none. I browse all almost exclusively and have nsfw enabled, but none of the communities really bother me enough to block them. I just scroll past the stuff that I don't have any interest in, same as sfw content.

Cloudflare isn’t bad per se, but having huge amounts of the public internet behind a centralized provider is bad for the flexibility and resiliency of the internet as a whole.

over exaggerating

Like she was done with exaggerating?

Does anyone under exaggerate?

I see this usage a lot now and I have no idea where it came from. Isn't just exaggerating the same meaning?
