I'm not going to defend them over this but I'm 100% sure that they wanted to be as successful (or more) than Zuckerberg.

"The Social Network 2". Well crypto will create more movies in the next few years.

straight-to-IPFS no doubt.

In my family it's the white wine that gives us headaches. Half a glass is more than enough for me. On the other hand, I can drink red wine until I die of alcohol poisoning without getting a headache.

For me both red and white wine are OK, but a glass of Japanese sake and the next day I want to kill myself to end the suffering. Which is a pity, because I like the flavor, but it gives me the worst hangovers ever.

It's there. There are 3 posts (not tweets anymore) and then there's that one.

Does it require being logged in to see?

Probably - (as of recentlyish) you only get the linked tweet or on profile/home a selection of 'top' or whatever tweets. Or Xs.

Red Dead Redemption 2

These were characters I thought a lot about, as I was playing the game through my exit out of the military. Leaving your gang behind while trying to stay positive and be the best you can in a quickly changing world made me feel human after years of never feeling like I could be myself. That game is a 10/10 story and video game experience. Anyone who thinks that a game couldn't be that compelling as a story has a bias against games, and should give games like this a try.

Right.

It is a masterpiece. I've played many games but RDR2 is on another level. It's like taking control of a character in a book and take him until the last page.

I blinked and the first stage disappeared.

Why did you do it

My apologies, won't blink again.

I think that too.

I watched today a couple hours of Youtube videos. How many bots are needed to match that much traffic?

if we're talking about requests it makes sense. I just have to open my apache/nginx logs to see how many bots are attempting to get in.

I'm not defending the validity of this article but it is very rare that Netflix, Youtube, or any other stuff backed by the big CDNs(Content Delivery Networks) cross actual metered transit connections(for the networks, not including what the end user has to pay for their servivces.)

And in some first world countries that still means the 10% of your annual income.

A $2000 USD laptop would depreciate to nothing over five years so that is an expense of only $400 USD per year.

At a moderate $80k USD developer salary, the laptop costs only 0.5% of that. And this is the main tool you depend on to earn an income. For an underpaid junior developer earning $40k it's still only 1% of their income.

10% of an average developer salary is something like $8k per year. What laptop costs $8k per year? That's $40k after five years. Are you confusing a laptop with a new Mercedes or what?

Laptops are a business expense for a developer. This is how you need to think about it.

But the US is not the only first world country.

I live in one and my salary is a little less than 30k and I'm not a junior. My junior colleagues are at around 20k, so for them it's actually 10%.

I never expected a first world country to pay that little. I live in New Zealand. Your colleagues are earning less than our minimum wage.

So apparently first world is not the same as "high income". In that case I would buy something from Taiwan.

Well, this is the salary in many European countries. Spain is the 15th economy in the world and these are the salaries.

There are basically no laptops with AMD GPUs. Why? I don't know. I think in the last months I've only seen one and I don't remember it as a laptop someone would buy.

Yeah they are quite rare, I bought an ASUS ROG Strix Advantage edition because it has an AMD CPU and GPU and have been quite happy with it.

I don’t know if they make them anymore but I highly recommend it.

Well, this is a company that creates Linux laptops. So if they decide to offer laptops with dGPU, they might want to use hardware that is well supported by Linux.

Laptops with Nvidia dGPUs are available from many/most other manufacturers, as you said, so there is no real reason to buy them from them. Especially if they offer sub-par Linux experience.

I get your point but I think this is an AMD problem.

Their can't keep up with the demand on the laptop market. How old are their Zen 4 processors? There are barely laptops with them. We had to wait months for a real use benchmark because it was impossible to get them.

Right now if I see and AMD GPU I wouldn't even know if it's new gen or from 3 years ago.

They are not on the market mobile market.

Having played a lot of games, if that was the case, it would be vox populi. In all gaming communities there are very smart people and if the damage output is important, they'll have it traced, if loot if important, it'll be traced too.

That's far from the truth.

People want to live near the city center. They want to be able to walk and get anywhere easily and that's means they want to live in an apartment in a city.

Actually, nowadays is cheaper to buy a house with a garden than an apartment and guess what people are trying to buy?
