I stopped buying Campbell’s or any of its subsidiary brands a few years ago when they both raised prices and reduced the size of the can.
They were underhanded about it too because they made the cans slightly taller so it wasn’t obvious that they had less volume.
I agree that 12 years isn’t “long past” the lifespan if a computer, but that’s also an aggressive and very implausible worst case scenario.
The very smart people working on their architecture and chip design are very much not the same people who are working on their desktop software.
Not if they’re referencing a specific 650 million. North America has about that many people but punches well above its weight in power usage per capita.
Sounds like she did and the city just ignored it.
I love how I’m being promoted to use AI on an article about the excessive resource use of AI.
Several years ago I was looking to set up a media server and initially grabbed Plex because I’d heard so much good about it at the time. The moment it asked me to create an account with Plex during setup and I discovered this wasn’t optional I immediately uninstalled it.
I remain baffled that anyone was okay with needing an externally managed account in order to use software running entirely on their own hardware, let alone the litany of additional enshittification that has happened since.
My time zone is quite specific and has only about 500,000 people in it
This happened to me on a nextra docs sure I use for one of my projects. Copilot added its attribution to a two line commit that added two items to a page’s _meta.json file. I was baffled as to what copilot could even had potentially have done to help.
…what porn are you watching where you learn that 2 hours every day is normal? Are there pornos out there with multi-day narratives that are longer than feature films?
Clearly this couple had grossly mismatched sexual appetites, but I don’t see how porn is to blame for thinking it’s normal to go that long that often.
I will almost always choose .NET as my development platform when greenfielding a project for exactly this reason. It’s an incredibly robust standard library that virtually guarantees I won’t need to pull in a litany of additional utility libraries, and I can also expect that what libraries I do choose to bring in are highly unlikely to drag along a ridiculous parade of dependencies.
most people want connected cars, my gf loves preheating our BYD when she heads off on an early morning start before she hops in, seats and cabin have been prewarmed etc. she likes the 360 birdseye cameras and I must admit they are very good
Neither of these things require the vehicle be “connected”. The cameras are entirely local to the car, naturally, and remote starters worked just fine for decades without being online.
…how does 36KB RAM and 72KB ROM give you a total of 64KB?
This is basically the case with any community that isn’t one of the broad topic/mass appeal subreddits. If you’re looking for discussion on anything even slightly specific Lemmy and other alternatives just completely fall on their face. Whether that’s support for a specific addiction or even just conversation about one particular video game series, your options are Reddit, discord, Twitter, or nothing.
The comment you replied to doesn’t list any maintenance tasks or annoyances. I genuinely have no idea what you’re referring to with the opening line.
…all what things they listed?
Isn’t Cyberpunk DRM free? Why do you need a repack? If the bit that didn’t work was the repack’s self-extractor/installer I guess that would make a little more sense.
Here’s a music news site: https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/gaming-giant-steam-faces-legal-action-from-the-uks-prs-over-alleged-unlicensed-use-of-music-in-games/
It sounds every bit as stupid there, if not more so because it’s apparently a normal aspect of distribution licensing in the UK.
Game developers and publishers typically secure sync licences to cover the embedding of music in their titles.
However, in the UK, those sync deals do not extend to the making available of that music when games are subsequently distributed via download or streaming platforms.
The ‘communication to the public’ right — i.e. the making available right — sits with PRS, not individual music publishers, meaning Valve requires its own separate licence as the platform operator distributing games that contain PRS members’ works.
There is absolutely nothing in the article to indicate the family’s political leanings or how they voted.
