vGPU··on Nvidia to Challenge Intel with Arm-Based Processors for PCs
Don’t forget them cutting the 256-bit wide bus of the 3060ti to 128-bits in the 4060ti.

Oof.

My only requirement for a car is that it works with Openpilot. Everything else? Don’t care, don’t need it. I’d prefer that my car didn’t have any additional displays or any connectivity options at all.

vGPU··on CVS ditches common cold meds after FDA advisers say they're useless
If the seller is a licensed firearm dealer, they are required to run a background check, no matter whether they’re at a gun show or not. Whereas if you’re purchasing in a private sale, you don’t have to be at a gun show. I can walk over to my neighbor’s house right now and purchase his gun without showing him my ID

This is fearmongering and sensationalism.

> Under federal law, federally licensed gun dealers, importers and manufacturers must run background checks for sales to an unlicensed buyer. Specifically, a potential purchaser must show identification, complete a federal document known as a Form 4473, and pass a National Instant Criminal Background Check System check.

Any licensed firearm dealer MUST run a background check at ALL times. Stop your misinformation.

So they decriminalized meth in 2020 but it took them another two years to roll back this mess?

Oregon leading the way, as usual.

Apparently +/- 2 degrees is fairly common.

One of the problems is the heat from the device itself, as well as limited airflow creating localized hotspots.

I have one specific TradingView tab that will crash the browser if I try to interact with it. Been that way for weeks.
vGPU··on Police raid mosque in Moscow, forcibly take worshippers to enlistment office
Meduza is well known to be funded by the UK FCO project, known for funding propaganda projects such as the push for regime change in Syria, and receiving funding from NATO sources.

Nor are they a “exiled Russian media”. They were founded in Latvia.

Re: my account: I rarely post on the topic of politics, and my last comment on Russia/ukraine was over three weeks ago, and was a discussion on electronic warfare.

Stop lying.

vGPU··on Police raid mosque in Moscow, forcibly take worshippers to enlistment office
Meduza is a notorious propaganda outlet with a penchant for just blatantly making stuff up.

Considering even twitter (now X) seems to have absolutely no other information aside from the same copy-pasted few sentences despite it being over 24 hours, I’d take it with a grain of salt for now.

Use this extension on iPhone. Worth the money. Prevents sites from disabling PiP video too.
vGPU··on Skyvew – View and share Bluesky threads without needing a Bluesky account
Nowhere, apparently. Twitter number of active users hasn’t taken a hit.

Personally, I believe a lot of people are just sick of social media in general. When Reddit started turning to garbage some 3-4 years back, I started looking for alternatives. Found none. Slowly used it less. By the time the recent drama hit, my usage of it was already almost 0, and dropped to 0. Took a peek at the alternatives, judged them to be a waste of time and attention, and that was it. The niche that Reddit filled is dead for me.

Bluesky has already missed the boat. Unless musk publicly sets fire to a kitten or something, the mass migration is over, and they missed it.
vGPU··on Cars are a 'privacy nightmare on wheels'
I don’t know who notable people here are, and don’t really care. The fact is that the opinion that cars should be banned/removed/made second class citizens is an extremely common and popular sentiment on HN.

Meningitis isn’t super rare. Various infections. Children don’t have a fully developed immune system.
vGPU··on Apple plans to update iPhones in-store without opening the boxes
Consider it this way: your smartphone is an advanced collection of multiple, highly sensitive microphones, cameras, location sensors, accelerometers, etc.

The fact that you have a phone in and of itself is traceable, as cell phone towers maintain records of who, when, and where. At this point, usage of such records is so commonplace by LEO that not having your phone with you when you do something is considered suspicious in and of itself.

Because politicians are, by and large, corrupt and heavily invested in protecting the status quo. Unless you somehow manage to replace a large portion of them with people with integrity at the same time, a few lone “good” apples will quickly get silenced or pushed out.

See: corrupt police departments.

They literally just refused to recognize the aboriginal population in the constitution or to give them a voice in parliament three days ago.
vGPU··on X/Twitter issued with a $610,500 fine under Australia's Online Safety Act
This is the same Australian eSafety that also recently hit the news for fining X 700k/day for not doing enough to stop “online hate”.

Pardon me if I am skeptical about this being anything other than another money and power grab from the increasingly tyrannical and corrupt Australian government.

It’s more or less the same idea as a dental implant, where the gum grows over it and closes it off to the exterior.

They do have a fairly high rate of both superficial and deep infection but advancements in coatings have improved the situation.

From what I remember, the major challenge was in the nerve-electrode connection, as they have a high failure rate and sending “sensation” signals back can easily cause nerve damage.
