I…. am not actually sure if you’re joking or not.

Bit of Column A, bit of column B…

Maybe it should have been ‘Take how long you think it will take at first blush’. Scotty’s method is good with a bit more experience.

Check out soulseek, next gen napster with FLAC…nicotine is a good client (use a VPN obvs)

amount of gas in an AC system is insignificant compared to the CO2 generated just making the AC system in the first place.

Let alone running the damn thing (on fossil fuel electricity).

Take how long you think it will take, double the number and increase the units (at least until you’re senior). e.g. 2 days -> 4 weeks

Ye canna change the laws of physics, Captin.

Also Titanium is a bitch to extract if I recall correctly, hence the price. Still, options are good.

How do you separate it?

Fractional distillation of liquid air I believe (like separating petrol and diesel).

Credit card in your phone case, use your banks’ website, 95+% of people right there.

Not so long ago I would have said electrons in a CRT screen (old school TV). When the electrons leave the accelerating anode, they are traveling at a reasonable fraction of the speed of light

You’re not wrong, but when/if (joyously, apparently, often it’s more profitable to destroy things for the tax break than to sell them) a significant surplus appears, adapters or new motherboards will appear fairly soon. Even things like H200s can probably be made into co-processors (hopefully running at a sane wattage for home users), as u/tal says there’s already ways to integrate into the linux kernel as (very fast) RAM, I doubt the compute will be left on the table for long.

H200 PCIe5 x 16 card anyone?

Titanium multipurpose carabiner, ruler, wrench, bottle opener, flathead screwdriver. Handy for like $5 a decade ago.

Tut, decent hacker shouldn’t need to take one, how about they get off scot free because no one knows who they are.

Yup, good enough, but didn’t really stick for me.

Farscape, The Magicians, The Librarians, Leverage, Eureka, Warehouse 13, Fringe, Lost Girl, Sanctuary, Gravity Falls, Archer, Legends of Tomorrow, The Good Place, Firefly (obviously}, Lucifer, Grimm, Buffy/Angel, The Venture Bros, Wynonna Earp.

Ima stop now…

historical context Luddite

means the actual Luddite movement, not luddite the word as used today, there’s a bit more nuance there. Go on, read the wiki…

A historical context Luddite would probably be destroying datacentres presently, we might have a thing or two to learn from them.

Easy enough to put a repo on a usb drive if that’s what you want, or indeed if you build the folder structure you can just copy. Fine for the occasional install, if you’re doing it wholesale, Ansible.

Gir! Always nice to see a Zim meme.

Do yourself a favour and give the movie a whirl. I’m in the minority but as a long time fan of Hellblazer (original run of 300! comics) I was happy with the movie, thought it was adequately close to the material (for a movie, how can you fit the scope of the source material into 1.5 hours…) and a good old romp overall.

The TV show was excellent, quite close in look and feel and Matt Ryan nailed it (also his characterization in Legends but the writing there was lesser for the character, even though I enjoy Legends for their goofy, campy fun, Constantine wasn’t a good fit), totally want some more.

Design problem, you can modularize these things so they’re easy to repair, consider your average desktop PC. Indeed that’s what your ‘proprietary replacement parts’ are, backed up by DMCA (and world wide equivalents forced by US trade agreements) making reverse engineering them a felony. Problem is there’s no financial incentive compared to getting you to buy another one soon, nor is there competition on this front. Hmm, perhaps a (legal) regulation problem.

Not least because CRT screens were nigh on bulletproof (and heavy as fuck, containing vacuum reliably needs mass).
