Yeah, and the toys sold at bad-dragon.com are plenty firm

The future is getting a QR code tattooed on your forehead so the link bubble blocks your face, and machine learning thinks you're an avocado. I'm getting mine done tomorrow.

I was interested to know if that could work, supply wise.

According to these articles, the series x and the 5 pro aim to draw around 200W in-game.

USB-PD 3.1 (honestly, fuck the USB naming standard, seriously.) can allow for 240W draw.

So, kinda yeah?

Yeah, but how long until it doesn't come with a power brick, and you have to supply your own?

Having kids makes you think differently. It makes you think about longer term plans, and immediate plans. It makes you yearn for stability. It makes you more succeptible to scare tactics. It makes you less likely to rock the boat.

It made me personally accept shittier situations personally (work) for the percieved benefit of ensuring stability for my baby. You can imagine how that extrapolates across an authoritarian society.

Even knowing it would probably be fine to advocate for myself, to push for what I deserved; knowing that it was purely biology pushing me to make the choice, I still picked percieved stability. I just couldn't bring myself risk being fired.

Counter-intuitevely, we think of parents as being primed to defend their children from any and all attacks and threats. That works monkey to monkey, but at scale, it breaks down. Being parents makes both men and women more vulnerable.

As for immediate effect: I'd be a lot easier to coerce if you had access to my family.

Edit: It also makes you busy as fuck. Ain't nobody got time for nothin' when they have a kid. Certainly not for uncertain outcomes, like resistance groups or political disident work

One day, I'm sure there will be a defcon talk about reprogramming powerbanks to fry devices.

I found a copy of 1995's 'Desktop Toys' on archive.org, and ran it on linux with wine literally yesterday.

Windows 11 has an incompatability with 32 bit progams apparently.

I see your point, but I think we're in better shape than you estimate.

That said, we could always be in bettar shape, and as more is created, the less complete archives can be.

According to Cory Doctorow, Rupert Murdoch owned newspapers have made over 100 editorials attempting to smear Lina Khan at the FTC. A cursory google search seems to corroborate this assertion.

I'm inclined to agree that there's nothing 'election year' about these cases, and that real work is being done to claw back some measure of control from these monopolies.

You're power hungry, selling soldiers in a human grocery store

I got a Slimbook executive 14 (spanish company), which is identical to Tuxedo's infinity book pro 14.

Loving it so far! Not helpful on the vram front though.

The only thing that might do it ( assuming you want thin and light) would be a razer blade with a 3000 series nvidia they must be fully compatible with linux, otherwise their lambda labs tensorbook collaboration wouldn't work.
