I figure racism will stick around long after transphobia is out of style.

Because no middle class white kid ever sat their parents down and said “mom, dad… I’m black”

You think I’m programming for free at my age?

A VPN is the only bit you’d pay for, alongside the inevitable mass of HDDs to store everything on once you get addicted to just keeping everything forever in your own personal Netflix.

Don’t want to get lumbered with a bunch of old stock now, do you?

The “source control” when I first started was all the code on a shared drive, to check out a file you copied it to your machine, and renamed the extension on the shared drive to your initials.

When somebody edited without doing this there would be full blown meltdowns over lost work.

Doubt it.

The rest of the world isn’t lucky enough to never have to hear about the perpetual US election cycle again, and frankly there’s just too much money in it for them to give it up.

It’ll be a fucking clown show for the next four years though.

You missed out Minge Lane.

Those are rookie numbers. I have at least a 35k one somewhere. More than one actually.

People run their businesses on this.

The thing is Twitter costs, even at its height, under a billion a year to run.

He could pull all advertising and run it to the end of his life as a hobby.

But he can’t have that, because the line must go up and the workers must cower in fear whenever their boss stalks the building.

I guess if your whole life is an act, people forget.

But then the list misses people like Boris Johnson, who was on telly a bit and became mayor of London and eventually PM of the UK mostly because of that.

He was awful at both roles, but people voted for him anyway because they’d heard of him.

I think people in general are politically unaware. It’s stuffy and boring, but affects everything. They should care, but it’s very hard to make them.

Because it’s no longer about benefits or interests.

It’s about the “my side won, your side lost, get over it” mentality. It’s about the tribalism and making sure you keep your ire focused on your fellow man rather than looking up and seeing the source of your problems

And it’s not just the US. It’s fucking everywhere.

“Nice watch!”

It may well be the case that they’re similar or even swapped now. I can see that the N100 is pretty low power compared to the newest low end AMD chips, but then the AMD chips are better in terms of what they can do.

This one reckons they’re pretty similar.

This one reckons Intel are better.

I doubt there’s much in it either way. Even if AMD are ahead now, laptops don’t get replaced right away, normies replace shit when it fails or is too slow to run whatever shit Google shoehorned into Chrome this year, and the most popular laptops are probably the ones with the lowest sticker price.

That’s under load. At Idle (which is where your average home PC will spend most of it’s time) I think Intel has the edge still.

It’s certainly a consideration for a battery device. Watching a video reading emails or staring at a spreadsheet will likely have better battery life than a similar spec AMD device.

We’ve reached a point where most everyday computing tasks can be handled by a cheapo N100 mini PC.

It’s taken this long for Intel to lose gamer trust.

Intel also have lower power consumption iirc, which is useful for laptops etc.

AMD have the best server chips: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

You have to remember that most people aren’t “choosing a CPU” as much as buying a PC. If the majority of pre-build retail PCs have Intel, then the majority of purchases will be Intel.

But for that you can buy a mini PC that runs it locally. What the fuck is this even for?

You could all just join Canada if you want to stay connected.

Oh Elon.

Big purchase. Big screen.
