It isn’t easy, but this isn’t about the hardware. It’s about the software packages. Tons of software meant to run on 32-bit hasn’t been updated to run on 64-bit natively. Thus the burden of keeping a lot of packages that serve as backwards compatibility.

No, that’s how you lose users. Private, nontransparent decision taking makes projects get dropped immediately.

The timing just sucked. 32 bit has to go, but it can’t be this year or next year. And it can’t be a blanket drop as the dev wanted. Alternatives are not ready yet to keep gaming working, and gaming was the number 1 factor holding back desktop adoption.

He is also falling for the internet fundamental attribution error: “If I hate or love something and everybody on the internet agrees with me, it’s because I’m always right and we are all intelligent individuals. If I love/hate something, and everybody on the internet disagrees, they were lied to, manipulated, astroturfed, are ignorant, misinformed, etc.”

It could be true. But it could also be that your proposal is very unpopular and you’re wrong.

Not the issue here. It seems like OP wants a sexual toy for intimacy. Definitely don’t go looking for that type of relationship in friend and hobby spaces. But most of my friend’s relationships came out of friendships built on said social circles. My longest relationship ever (now ended for other reasons) came from a videogaming club, a friend of a friend.

Not a leap. I’m basing my comment on the replies from OP that said that he is probably gonna divorce his wife — gigantic red flag, looking for dating advice not having being done with the previous relationship, but maybe that’s just me — because they were highly independent, drifted apart and wife leaving wasn’t even a lifestyle changing event. Maybe OP wouldn’t be divorcing if he considered women as something other than a source of romantic and sexual exchange separate from company, friendship and sharing a lifestyle. I’m just saying, OP sounds very sus.

Then, what? You want a GF to lock her emotionally away from the rest of your life? Wouldn’t it be nice to share a hobby or personal interest with someone you are romantically and sexually involved in, too?

It may, but that is in armed and ready bombs. Nukes are stored with the explosives separate from the fissible material.

That point is moot though. As we know Iran is still years away from a nuclear bomb, because Trump and Netanyahu are liars. As evidence by the fact there is no radioactive spill from the facilities destroyed. Either Iran didn’t have the material there yet, or they already built the bombs and they are stored elsewhere. The first scenario seems more likely.

One-point safety is about preventing a nuclear yield when one of the explosives inside the nuke go off by accident and not all of the detonation triggers. It does help to prevent accidental nuclear yield if the nuke is destroyed by an external explosion. But you’re understimaing how extremely difficult it is to initiate a nuclear fission event. Not only should all the trigger explosives go off, the fission material has to be hit by the explosion from the right place and in a correct sequence and timeframe. Else the fission won’t start.

Bombs are even stored separate from the explosives sometimes, for extra safety. The biggest issue with these attacks is radioactive material contamination. The risk of a nuclear explosion from bombing a weapons development or storage site is one in billions.

I call it non-progressive pop, or also corporate treadmill music. Because the harmony never gets anywhere or do anything interesting, but always feel like it’s moving

I’m “excited about buying a new vacuum cleaner” old. Because I already bought the rugs.

Hey, what’s up. Are you (or anyone in thes thread) feeling suicidal?

Talking openly helps to deal and cope with the feelings. But some people feel shame of mentioning these topics. You can find out if there’s a help line local to you and call. You’re reaching out, which is good. Find someone who is open to talk and unload that burden. Trust is hard to earn but it goes a long way to talk about feelings, even if they’re uncomfortable.

Yeah, like, there’s even a little leaflet that is the first thing you see when you open the box that just says “Don’t remove the screen protector. If it gets damaged, don’t replace it yourself, send it in for a free replacement.” Or some wording of that kind.

The flip and the fold come with a screen protector from the factory. It’s integral to the phone as the screen is flexible and soft, without it the screen would get opaque and dull. People forget that the point of cases and screen protectors is to be like rubber tires. They’re there to take weather (not damage) instead of the phone, and to be easily replaced on the regular. Samsung offers a replacement service for the flip that changes protectors regularly with the phone protection program.

Formatting error? Ereaders have shown footnotes in floating tooltips for a very long while. I recently read annotated Frankenstein and I read all the footnotes along with the main text with no issue.

E-ink readers are superior to both paper and LED tablets.

Anacrhonistic?

They have instantaneous duplex comms, over millions of light year distances, without line of sight! That’s FTL communications.

It is modeled after the style of early radio comms for the cinematic drama, but technologically speaking they would be so far advanced from us that it might as well be magic.

Pop out cakes. They were already going out of fashion in the XIXth century when it became even more misogynist with its association with showgirls and strippers. I think the 50s was the last time it was actually done unironically.

It doesn’t have to be that sophisticated. Random ad frequency is good enough to push people to buy and it is very effective.

People are using NAS for things they aren’t meant to do. They are a storage service and aren’t supposed to be anything else. In a typical data center model, NAS servers are intermediate storage. Meant for fast data transfers, massive storage capabilities and redundant disk fault tolerance. We are talking hundreds of hard drives and hundred gigabit connection speeds inside the data center. This is expensive to run, so they are also very energy efficient, meant to keep the least amount of required disks spinning at any given moment.

They are not for video rendering, data wrangling, calculations or hosting dozens of docker containers. That’s what servers are for.

Servers have the processing power and host the actual services. They then request data from a NAS as needed. For example, a web service with tons of images and video will only have the site logic and UI images on the server itself. The content, video and images, will be on the NAS. The server will have a temporary cache where it will copy the most frequently accessed content and new content on demand. Any format conversion, video encoding, etc. Will be done by the server, not the NAS.

Now, on self-hosting of course, anything goes and they are just computers at the end of the day. But if a machine was purpose made for being a NAS server, it won’t have the most powerful processor, and that’s by design. They will have, however, an insane amount of sata, PCI-e channels and drive bays. And a ton of sophisticated hardware for data redundancy, hotswap capacity and high speed networks that is less frequent in servers.

You privilege is showing.

Whenever someone claims to be “apolitical”, or wants something to “not be political”, is because they are looking at it from a position of privilege where the status quo doesn’t hurt or challenges them. They also can’t see the oppression, hurt or risk that said thing exerts on others, minorities, or social pariahs.

Non-political is a mythical creature. It exists as a safe haven to lure the insensitive into apathetic inaction. Nothing is apolitical because existing as a human being is itself political.
