Similar to being snarky, I imagine
photonbeam··on Real estate giant China Evergrande will be liquidated
Not if climate change triggers a new ice age :)

Though I guess that bond prices would be meaningless for most at that point

Can anyone start a ratings agency? Or is it special somehow?
photonbeam··on Hell is other people: performance management at Big Tech
Yeah its a bit easier to say you only have the best at 1k to 5k headcount, then at a sprawling 150k+

Q: whats a realistic salary a SWE or SRE who is 10-15 years deep might expect?

How do you misplace a container?
photonbeam··on IT employment grew by just 700 jobs in 2023

photonbeam··on Maersk ship hit by missile in the Red Sea
It is, it shows how little a country needs to maintain/develop nukes
photonbeam··on 12VO power standard appears to be gaining steam, will reduce PC cabling, costs
Yes, seriously (for the 75%)

Its like a code refactoring

Mains power is dangerous and should be kept in a box separate from current limited lower voltage DC, which could be on the mainboard instead.

Nothing actually needs 12v, it all just converts locally to the desired voltage which is why the mainboard is already a psu

Ukraine is a really cautionary tale to always have nuclear weapons and never give them up. Russia would never have tried this if Ukraine still had the capability to demolish a city with a button press

Look at how cautious the rest of the world is in helping Ukraine.

photonbeam··on 12VO power standard appears to be gaining steam, will reduce PC cabling, costs
usbc can do 48v, its not that dangerous
photonbeam··on 12VO power standard appears to be gaining steam, will reduce PC cabling, costs
Half the mainboard is already just a PSU, this just means the big initial step down from 240v/120v is in a separate shielded/grounded box

I somewhat wished they’d gone to 48vdc instead of 12vdc, though to further reduce cabling, but I guess that would be a big change, the 12vo seems much simpler
