Had a laptop purchased in December 2024 with 16 GB of RAM. Running a single VS Code instance and Edge with maybe 10 tabs consumed almost 100% of the RAM. Doing any actual developme…

The US has a 240V system for residential power, not a 120V system. Most homes in the US have 200 amp service. That's 48 kW of power available to the house, though code states that …

While the employees might be happy at Publix, they are in, in my experience, poorly trained. Also, the rest of the shopping experience is utter crap compared to H-E-B. Publix of 20…

It doesn't have to be soldered to the motherboard. I've got a Minisforum PC that has unified memory installed via dual SODIMM slots. I put 64 gigs of DDR5 sticks that cost me over …

And I personally think that billionaires extracting untold wealth from those of us doing the actual work is a far greater societal problem than some normal folks who are lazy but a…

The University of Florida, thus the name "Gatorade." or "Gator-aid," if you will.

Yeah, but is this really that great? Are these models going to remember the town you wandered through on your session yesterday and want to return to? Imagine playing Read Dead Red…

> Depression is real, I'm experiencing it right now reading these comments. No, you aren't. You are trivializing what Depression actually is by making flippant comments like that. …

It's silly to blame the police for not stopping petty crime? And what does immigration have to do with any of this?

You and I have completely different definitions of "reasonable."

> Your example says more about the costs of getting details wrong in punishment, than about punishment. That's a rather flippant attitude when given the details of what we're talki…

How do you not understand the difference between spending $5 once or twice a week and having to cough up $3k all at once.. or paying 20-30% interest if they can't afford to pay tha…

"Normal people" were not purchasing Apple II or C64 computers in the 70s and 80s. What you're showing me is that you are completely out of touch with the financial realities the va…

Yes, because it is a well-known fact that police never use their power to bully others. It's also an established fact that nobody is ever wrongly accused of crimes by the police. I…

So, because there is a failure of policing in your locale, we should simply resort to vigilante justice? Looks to me like you should be pissed off at the police in your locale for …

I was in day care one day as a small child when another child threw a ball of clay and it hit the woman who was watching us. She did not see who had thrown the ball of clay but for…

I think your idea of what "normal people" can afford is a bit off. Normal people aren't buying $1500 computers. And they definitely aren't buying $3000 computers.

They never made that claim.

Maybe they should consider using it.
