Yeah I used to work in a chip company many years ago and we had rad hardened chips that had special outer packages instead of the normal consumer ones at a minimum. They’re typically used for space stuff. Still not sure how well they’d hold up in Chernobyl in fairness.

Hell yeah!

Hell yeah!

It is without doubt my favourite photo of all time. I’m glad you got a “hell yeah” from it too. This thread has some gems.

I filled mine with children. No regrets. Infer from that what you will.

Eventually it will influence consumer electronics.

It already has and in a big way. I saw one comment on a Jeff Geerling video saying they had bought 96G of DDR5 RAM a year ago for $205 and that it was well over $600 now.

Oh yeah. Sure they’re already minted. Set for life.

Ah you say that, but I lived through the internet bubble. Jeez it was gruesome and then 9/11 hit the next year. Savage times.

Unless it’s considered a national security issue, which it might be, they’re getting fucked without the lube.

I can’t solve the imgur thing, but I gotchu fam.

I deeply, genuinely, hope that the AI bubble bursts and they get fucked. It’s just so short sighted to not hold on to the safety rope.

That is a great version.

Am I going insane or does it sound like the microphones were below the instruments? I know how mental that sounds but the whole way through I felt like the orchestra were slightly above me.

The issue with this is that knowledge should be it’s own reward. Where I live college costs a pittance. If you want to study fine art, that course should be available and is.

What you’re suggesting sounds great in a very practical respect but would only further benefit capitalism at the cost of wider knowledge. Many of the things that are worth learning in life to so many would immediately disappear from college curriculums.

The goal should be to make third level education cheap enough that anyone can do it without crippling themselves financially.

The honorific would’ve probably been “my Chancellor” if it had been about his political authority

In his case it was very much meant as dictator.

There was debate after Hindenburg died and he took his powers with the plebiscite (as well as chancellor) about what his title should be. He didn’t want to harken back to Kaiser per the previous Reich so they went with Fuhrer.

It had been used within the party before that but came into common usage as his title at that time.

I’m in the thick of a 90 hour audiobook trilogy on the third Reich which is absolutely incredible (link) and Fuhrer is used liberally, partly to describe his ascent to absolute dictator as opposed to just Reich’s Chancellor.

I’m not defending shitopedia for one second! I’m just not sure it’s as outrageous as other shit that’s taking up our limited attention span at the moment is all.

Yeah I fully agree with this. I am thick in the middle of “Third Reich Trilogy” which gives an enormous amount of context to the word though.

If they changed it, it’s further evidence of scummy behaviour, but on its own it’s not a huge red flag for me with historical context.

Can’t recommend the books enough if you’re into that. The lad must have spent half his life in primary sources.

Thanks so much. I thought that would be the case but I wondered around things like “team leader” or “band leader” or whatever.

My guess was that it was forever tainted so I appreciate the context.

I mean the whole stupid Grokipedia thing is a shit show that will never take off, but Fuhrer is just “leader” in German. In it’s used context for Hitler it straight up means dictator and (iirc) only came into full on use after the plebiscite giving him full dictatorial power after Hindenburg’s death in 1934 (edit: He was already the Reich’s Chancellor and merged in Hindenburg’s powers with the vote to make himself full dictator / Fuhrer).

I’d welcome input from a German national - Is the word still used there?

Crazy stuff. I can’t imagine not being self sufficient, let alone reveling in it.

Weird. Imagine thinking like that. How old were they?

Mental.
