640×200 pixels with 2 colours

Did you ever use this mode?

By the time I got into computing (96), I think 800x600 with at least 16K colours was relatively common.

I am not even sure what you would use 640x200 with two colours.

From my perspective the key point is that Intel claims 18A is at long last ready for production (in 2025H2). The other stuff is all pretty tedious PR

A neat techology concept, but the drawbacks do seem rather severe:

While the technology looks interesting on paper, a number of practical challenges arise. First up, we are talking about relatively low airflow volumes compared to traditional fans. Secondly, there are particles in the air (dust, aerosols, etc.), and charged particles tend to attract each other with opposite charges or are attracted to surfaces that have an opposite (or grounded) charge. This greatly increases the risks of accelerated dust accumulation, and dust not only traps heat but can cause short circuits or corrosion of components. As high voltages are required to charge particles, they can create byproducts like ozone, and they can be harmful to electronic components, corroding metals, and degrading plastics or rubber over time.

Agreed, the title isn’t particularly clear, but you can interpret it as “a scandal involving Seagate products” as opposed to “a scandal with Seagate”.

You don’t need to write a paper or even provide links.

If you actually had a legitimate arguement (and weren’t just parroting copytext that you don’t really understand beyond “I think it makes me look cool and independent”), you would have been able to summarize it in a few sentences in your own words.

This is not rocket science.

A Tandy device (guessing without doing a web search)?

I started using computers around 95/96. Our consulting professor did show us an example of Tandy laptop back when I was doing a masters degree in the 2010s.

And if you’re incapable of presenting your message even with a modicum of nuance, and you’re forced to revert to comical parroting of what is essentially political spam, then what you’re saying is almost certainly complete BS.

Try and promote what you’re saying in a nuanced way. You won’t be able to. We both know this!

Prove me wrong! ;)

So what that you’re a leftist?

You were taking about “educating me” and the best you can come up with is a standard copytext that’s spammed everywhere?

At least come up with something new and interesting not the standard word salad about the Federal Reserve.

5000 series has largely been subpar IMO. In a competitive market they would have been forced to keep the 4000 series in production, but we don’t have a competitive market for GPUs.

Did you really think I haven’t heard of this copytext? It’s pretty standard spam, no?

This is not a real thing, it’s more about acting out and tantrums. You don’t care or understand about the issues you describe.

With the right oligarch propaganda, you can be trained to claim that spicy mayonnaise is limiting freedumz and shiiiit!!!

I don’t know if you know this, but in many places obsession over central banks is simply not a thing. Maybe you need some real problems in your life? It would help you gain perspective.

And btw, the World Bank isn’t actually a world bank in the literal sense of the word.

A cooling fan for a power connector!

Nice rant. A very provincial take I must I add.

Brave has investments from A16Z, a VC fund that has been involved in multiple pump and dumps and shoes founders are fundamentally opposed to democracy and human rights.

First sign of crypto and I am out. I would speculate that is true of a lot of people in the Fediverse.

From my perspective, there are only two use cases for crypto 1. Criminal activity 2. Pump and dumps

Something along the lines of a monthly donation model, perhaps with a nominal “pro” system. A badge to showing that you donate and how many years you’ve been donating (users can disable display of such badges if they want).

Do you keep sniffing it when he leaves his cubicle to get a coffee?

That’s so sad that the first computer you scrap enough money to buy as a teen just doesn’t boot. 😠

Definitely, I am just going from memory. 5 GB for 96/97 seems a bit high, but possible.

Yeah the exact details are difficult to pinpoint. I had to double check my initial memories.

I thought I had a Riva TNT2 on my first build, but I checked the launch date and I realised that it had to be the 2nd build, which me remember that the first video card I had was a S3 ViRGE. ))
