She said that, for most people who want to go to university, “you couldn’t get a commercial loan because you don’t have the credit history, you don’t have the collateral, you certainly wouldn’t be able to get something which you could write off if you don’t hit certain repayment thresholds”.

So exploiting people who have no choice then, nice.

Read on launch that somebody asked Nintendo and they confirmed the sticks use the same flawed tech as the the original Switch.

And they’ve doubled down on their mistake with the Switch 2. Should eventually see another bigger fine, hopefully. €35 million is cheap for Nintendo.

IMO it’s a fairly minor annoyance. Though I think if the forks allow a feature into their codebase and they wanted to disable by default they could, so that’s on them. If you use a fork where that’s the case then maybe emailing them to say these features should be disabled by default or even not merged at all would be more productive.

Because if it was disabled by default nobody would know it existed. If they added popups to tell people about it they’d get flak for that. They just want to have “cool” things to bring the normies in I suppose.

As long as I can turn it off.

You’ve got more teeth than braincells

You haven’t got two braincells to rub together

Also, its already out there. Already been crawled by AI and hopefully preserved by individuals and the IA etc. What’re they gonna do, a full rewrite?

Yeah it seemed to work for me and would then hard lock the system between 24h and a week later requiring a manual power cycle. Several people experienced the same, we had a couple of issues on the frigate github but I don’t think anyone ever figured out why. Definitely openvino on the igpu though, openvino on CPU was fine.

This is great, if it works, on my 8500t I had nothing but problems.

SoundMAGIC E10

Great sound quality and cheap

Btw head-fi.org for good headphone recommendations, forum is great.

Worse than that, the server can change it’s response based on user agent so you need to curl it to a file first, a browser could be served a completely different response.

Why has IRC not been mentioned? The basics of Discords UX is based on it after all.

Maybe one of these?

On AliExpress: 12.7mm USB 2.0 DVD/CD-ROM Case , IDE/ PATA to SATA Optical Drive External Enclosure For Laptop https://a.aliexpress.com/_Evga3Y0

Looks like a high density IDE connector.

I’d shop around for similar products, not sure if you need USB, SATA or just big IDE.

I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind, I’m just putting forward my observations, it’s clear you have your own views and that’s fine.

Let’s just agree to disagree then.

There is so much vested interest though, capitalism has already been past the point of failure, and then measures were introduced to prolong it’s life, easy credit, moving away from the gold standard, others to numerous to mention, moving us from a monetary system based on tangeable wealth/assets to our current situation where it all hangs on hype and speculation. But again supply and demand only works if there’s demand, if nobody has any money then demand drys up.

Again he’s not pointing the finger, he’s merely saying it’s working as designed, either way AI is one of the current hypes propping up the system so he’s unlikely to point the finger there too.

He isn’t quoted as saying that he thinks this is terrible though. To me it reads as “that’s how capitalism works” in the same way the industrial revolution rewrote the rule book etc. There will need to be a market adjustment people will lose their jobs but the system will survive. Whereas I think it’ll be such a seismic shift in a short time the whole thing will cease to function.

Oh I do, makes you wonder where the money comes from that’s paying for these stories… Oh wait we know this already.

He doesn’t say it’s a problem, just that that’s how it works. My prediction is it will collapse under its own weight.

It wasn’t so much just articles about this though the press have been “reporting” relentlessly for the past few weeks criticising several aspects of her life. If I could be bothered if find examples.
