Oh good point, another downside of the taller shape. More surface area = warms faster and uses more aluminum.

If anything the taller cylinder will use more aluminum for the same volume, so they're kinda shooting themselves in the foot here with aluminum and steel tariffs, lol

Seems pretty clear the only reason for this was to change the price without as many people noticing.

How is a software update a warranty claim? They should be free, like a recall. Maybe a DIY option with a USB or SD card. Either that or whatever they're adding probably isn't worth the update to me.

I just wanted to say kudos for actually explaining your position. It's too easy to make assumptions about what people are saying over text, and a lot of debates end badly because someone decides the other is malicious or willingly/willfully ignorant before they're even given the opportunity to explain their reasoning.

I 100% agree there are some people that are beyond reasoning with. Their brain is locked in to emotional, irrationally habits, and changing such a fundamental point of view is painful. On the other hand though, I think it's worthwhile to try and understand their behaviors and what life experiences contributed to their world view. How else can we expect to better educate ourselves and future generations?

trying to make a point but it kind of fell apart at “willingly”

To me this seems like a pretty minor grammatical error that does nothing to detract from the point being made.
You're welcome to correct it, but to me it feels analogous to getting distracted by a smudge on the page when reading a letter.

Isn't that basically how the knob on the touchscreen of the Ford Mach-E works? I think it's just glued on and simulates a touch like a stylus.

Lol at there no longer being a border problem. How exactly does this change ANYTHING about guns and fentanyl crossing between Canada and the US? And whatever immigration problems Trump is complaining about would be completely moot if suddenly the entire country are now forced to become US immigrants.

Ooh, I'll have to check that out. I loved The Stanley Parable and Beginner's Guide

I adopted this philosophy a few years ago and have bought maybe 2 games since. I played them immediately and had fun. Meanwhile I have no interest in playing my backlog games anymore. I don't have time for them.

I've been saying this for a while. They need to train it to be able to say "I don't know". They need to add questions to the dataset without enough information to solve so that it can understand what is/isn't facts vs hallucinating

When I think of digital signal processing I think of things like audio and Fourier transforms. In my experience there's quite a bit to graphics programming that's different from that. A lot of shader code is linear algebra / matrix math, and physics equations for light. There's also a lot of thinking about memory layouts and how to reuse calculations as much as possible.

I say this as someone who does a lot of graphics programming in my job but failed "Feedback Control Systems" the first time through.

The bananas on the left are just closer to the camera. Everyone knows bananas are all the same size.

The most illegal part of a DDoS is usually the hacking / exploiting of thousands or millions of devices to make them all request twitter.com

I'm not entirely sure what rules it would fall under if you somehow performed a DDoS using entirely your own hardware and Internet connections. It might even be legal, just against the ToS of basically every ISP. I'm pretty sure if Google or ChatGPT take down a site by sending too many crawlers there's no legal consequences.

Based on current trends, I'd say we might get SSDs and HDDs at the same cost per GB around 2030. That's based on prices being 12-13x higher in 2015, and around 5x higher now. SSD cost efficiencies are slowing down, but there will also be a big change in demand once the prices get close, because SSDs have other advantages people will switch as soon as it's economical.

I've currently got a 200TB storage array using enterprise HDDs (shout out to Backblaze's HDD failure rate publications), and I definitely would not have been able to afford 200TB of enterprise SSDs.

Finally, I'm almost done!
Part 17 is as much work as part 1-16
Fuuuuu

If you're storing petabytes of data sure, but when a tape drive costs $8k+ (Only price I could find that wasn't "Call for quote"), and only storing less than 500TB, it's cheaper to buy hard drives.

I'm not sure how important 2 types of media is these days, I personally have all my larger data on harddrives, but with multiple off-site copies and raid redundancy. Some people count "cloud" as another type of storage, but that's just "somebody else's harddrive"

As a person hosting my own data storage, tape is completely out of reach. The equipment to read archival tapes would cost more than my entire system. It's also got extremely high latency compared to spinning disks, which I can still use as live storage.

Unless you're a huge company, spinning disks will be the way to go for bulk storage for quite a while.

If anyone's ever followed console emulator development, they know those undocumented commands are everywhere. There's still people finding new ones for the N64 hardware

Edit: I should say undocumented behavior, not necessarily new commands
