version upgrades might change major things so its not pushed onto everybody. if you want a single thing based in rolling updates, thats basically the Arch model. the thing with rolling updates of course is being on the bleeding edge means things also break easier.

but you dont know the values to which they are to br able to ask a question involving it which is the point. youre put in a situation where you dont know everything. there are things you assume the question giver assumes else questions are never answerable. they arent given to you as a gotcha situation, especially in the context as a programming question.

you get to the point where no question can ever be asaked to you because you believe in the manipulation of the question over to the point that you’re intentionally looking for ways to break the question rather than assuming you and the question giver has the same assumption given the question circumstance.

If you go out and look for dumb things like that, there is basically no question in the universe thats answerable.

Do you question if gravity and friction exist if someone asks you how fast something is moving? and what values they are?

if you want to avoid that problem, you would just add the step at the very start: have all the bulbs in off and wait a bit for all the bulbs to cool off if you needed to be sure.

of course, nothing says you can’t but programming (and engineering) is not just solving the problem, but solving the problem efficiently.

one who lacks optimization knowledge would run into situations like the rockstar employee who originally wrote the parser for GTAO that made it take over 5 minutes to load GTAO, till someone else rewrote the parser in order to get people loaded in quicker. It’s basically the weed out for the devs people complain about when something uses way more resources than it needs to.

if anyoen is curous on the answer, you flip one and wait till you think a light bulb gets warm enough from ambient that youd notice. you then turn that off and turn another on.

if light = on, second switch you hit

if light = off && bulb = warm, it was the first switch

else switch 3

as a person who works in that industry pretty much. the only people buying singles are people who do it internally else its sold on bulk because the money gets split between the ecycler and the company who originally owns the product.

outside of having less processing to deal with per order, a company buying things in bulk is less critical about the condition of a product than an individual end user.

although i prefer the arch paths for bleeding edge and rolling updates. Bazzite makes sense for testing because of the immutable.

A lot of more experienced pc users might end up liking arch distros later in their life, but I would never recomnmend arch based distros to people who aren’t comfortable with linux yet.

black friday died when it became a normie holiday for sales. part of the reason why black friday worked before hand was that buyers are 100% aware of the product theyre buying and how much it is valued. anythings a “sale” if you’re selling it to an audience that doesn’t know what it was normally priced.

to be fair, the drive in question is a NAS drive, which is not a backup drive by its intended default usecase, unless you slapped it in a nas thats stored as a cloud storage in an offsite location.

its just a matter of people understanding that data redundancy is not a backup, just a level of data safeguard, as it only partially covers some of the forms of data loss and not all of them (e.g not immune to physical methods of data loss like fires, floods and stuff)

not too suprised, given the game runs fairly poorly on the base PS4, and I believe with Natlan, they made the decision to increase the quality of certain elements of the game, and its not going to get any lighter.

like git repositories, AUR in its name itself says what it is, a User repository. its trust like repositories is fully based on how much you trust the user who uploaded it

the mininum is dictated by the rest of the components and decision to limit future upgrades down the line.

after you are aware of what cpu you are using

amd and intel sub 250 cpus usually 150w or less

amd high end and alderlake(12gen, and arrowlake), peaks at 250w

intel raptor lake (13-14th gen) 300w

hedt cpus like threadripper fall under a similar class.

peak 5060ti is just under 200w alone.

add an arbitrary 50w to cover rest of components.

its only guaranteed because of the amount of time the surgery took in the end. if it was shorter, it would have been averted. (say if it eas hour 10 or 20, would have been still negligent but they would probably be alive. the actual time was double that)

basically there was a chain of decisions and events that led to the deaths, but she still chose the one where the worst outcome was potentially death.

they knew she had children, but im not completely aware she asked the day of the appointment or not. its completely possible she asked when booking the appointment on a different day. its just at some point the establishment was asked.

edit: it mentions earlier in the day. so there was no guarantee that the staff KNEW the kids were out there during the appointment, but knew she had kids.

whether they knew she took them with her for the appointment is a different question thats yet to be answered

jesus christ, the mother was fucking 20, and she was allowed to take the children into the lobby but opted out of it.

she blatently knew and asked about her options and chose the one with the highest risk.

if you have a garage, design a method to basically ensure your garage door is closed without you needing to go back to check.

of course if you trust yourself with never making that mistake.

last thing you want to feel is if you remembered to close the door or not and youre already far off

then you gain the extra potential illegal action due to forgery. so its a game of risk management for the drivers.

confidential cpus are typically engineering samples, usually given to motherboard companies to work on bioses for the cpu generation and meant to be returned to the company after done. engeering sample cpus can be missing features, lower clocks and such that the retail varient may have.

as for geneeation of cpu, its easier to find out via what motherboard socket it is

on thecontext of finding second hand, i wouldnt say its common, but can happen. some chinese companies sell dirt cheap ES cpus for basic computing.

the ilm says lga 115x, so its either 1156(1st gen), 1155(2nd or 3rd gen), 1150(4th and 5th gen) or 1151(6th to 8th gen)

not going to be a steam OS user, but its less what you can’t, and more that any changes that valve patches in via their efforts on AMD drivers, users would get it first and without any fuss.

One example is HDR support. various distros and DEs kinda sat on HDR for the longest time, with mixed results on implementation. Valve just walks in and implements it.
