That’s more than I can afford to be donating right now

First time my 3 year old saw The Lego Movie he got very upset at the part where they were falling at the end of the Wild West scene

So with datacenter GPUs (excellerators is the more accurate term, honestly), historically they were the exact same architecture as nVidia’s gaming GPUs (usually about half to a full generation behind. But in the last 5 years or so they’ve moved to their own dedicated architectures.

But more to your question, the actual silicon that got etched and burned into these datacenter GPUs could’ve been used for anything. Could’ve become cellular modems, networking ASICs, SDR controllers, mobile SOCs, etc. etc. but more importantly these high dollar data center GPUs are usually produced on the newest, most expensive process nodes so the only hardware that would be produced would be similarly high dollar, and not like basic logic controllers used in dollar store junk

Both WordPress and Ghost support federation to some degree, so that would also enable interaction via the Fediverse!

Everyone I know who has a deck absolutely loves it

Sounds like you’re describing pure HTML5

JavaScript partially took off due to HTML’s limited functionality at the time. This was also around the time that web media was becoming really big, which before HTML5 it wasn’t easy to integrate into a webpage without turning to extra libraries or extensions

Edge is actually pretty decent. Native vertical tabs, M365 SSO integration, native multiple profiles with quick switching, preinstalled on your work computer and will work with anything that “only works in chrome”

Obviously this is ignoring the obvious downsides such as assisting Microsoft’s search, browser and platform monopolies, tracking data sent to Microsoft, etc. etc.

Looks like

A moderately competent Windows admin with a single Windows Server can make ten thousand Windows workstations work seamlessley in fifty countries, twenty data protection doctrines and ten languages with hundreds of customisations, tweaks, automations and deployments tailored to each combination of device/user/location

Not to mention that single Windows admin is paid less and a more common skill set than a more specialized skill set like Linux administrators. Paying $10k per year in licensing but saving $40k in payroll is still a net $30k savings.

And if you’re hiring in a rural area specialized skillsets tend to not exist so you open yourself up to new risks of not being able to hire a replacement if needed by building something less standard

Firefox also has SSO integration with M365! Last I tested it it was less clean than Microsoft’s but it does exist and work the last time I used it

Edit: just tested on a fresh install of Firefox and it worked perfectly. Checked the checkbox under Settings>Privacy and Security for “Allow Windows single sign-in for Microsoft, work, and school accounts” then navigated to my account.microsoft.com and it immediately signed me in (and appeared to be faster than on Edge‽)

How would lemmy.ml being federated with lemmy.world affect how a user on sopuli.xyz sees content posted by a lemmy.ml account?

My local arcade has a pair of Crazy Taxi machines and that’s always where I put my quarters

Just throwing out a fun game from my childhood, Lego Racers 2. I’ll have to read through later for ideas because I’m in a similar boat in having never really been in console circles and never owned a PS2

That’s just the spam that gets through! On my ancient ISP-provided email it’s primarily distributed via compromised accounts from the same provider. And what I see targeting the corporate world tends to come from newly setup email servers or newly setup accounts on paid email providers

Can’t wait to see in 5 years while all of the LLM nonsense quietly gets shuffled further and further to the back until it’s gone like Cortana or Paint3D

Meanwhile has anyone noticed Microsoft has unhidden some genuinely useful older menus like Control Panel? Earlier in the windows 10 lifespan you couldn’t search for control panel and had to instead use constantly changing shortcuts and tooltips to gain access to it, but now you can just search for Control Panel and pull it right up. I’m not thrilled that I have to dig for the network adapter properties still but I’ll take the improvements I get

I think macs are more comparable when you compare OEM PC to OEM PC. I’ve specced out a few optiplexes for clients and all have been over a grand each. I wouldnt spend that much on my own computer but I know how to pick a good used computer or build my own if I so desire. The clients just want a computer they can forget about for a decade and yell at Dell when it breaks so Optiplex it is.

How much does a Mac Mini cost? $800 for a variant with 512GB of storage. Literally cheaper than a similar Dell Opitplex

Current economic indicators aren’t looking good. If the largest employer in the country performs mass layoffs there’ll be a loooot of people out of work and likely not enough jobs to go around

I still think it’s incredible he named his not yet an actual government department after a should-be-treated-as-a-security-by-the-SEC that he pumped and dumped

The concept of file extensions really break down when it comes to audio and video files

Honestly anywhere other than windows they start getting a bit funky since most ecosystems don’t actually rely on the filename to determine the file type

It also doesn’t help that so many file types are just a bunch of text files shoved into a zip file wearing a mask. It’s all abstractions all the way down baby!

Find somewhere that accepts/generates ewaste and you might be able to score an internal CD/DVD drives. We were doing some reorganizing at work and I saw a literal box full of 5.25" drives
