because the people in the top end are paid via stocks and not actual hard currency.

if I HAVE to use vga, and its only being used for 1 computer, than both, else none if im only using it for temporary reason , none.

i dont think it was that spooky going in blind (except the basement of THAT house I was NOT prepared for and got jumpscared)

but the context of the news report is about the president, which they can vote for.

i mean the technicallity is that washington dc isnt a state either, so the better answer is that you need to live in a region where you have representatives.

regardless, a country should maintain their own fork regardless if its being used for government computers.

mixture of housing supply shortage, empty homes, fucked investments, a bit of zoning laws, and nimbyism, and airbnb

housing supply shortage

younger generations want to live in cities because thats where both employment and "fun" is reletively speaking. the demand is very high for limited space.

empty homes

in some areas, there are homes that are completely empty, some due to negligence, inheritance and some just to artificially decrease supply. to put an example, San Jose, CA legitimately has more empty homes than it does homeless.

fucked investments/nimbyism

some people see housing as an investment instead of putting it into stocks. the investments keeps proces high because its seen as profit rather than a basic necessity to live. people who own houses will use all their power to prevent more houses to be built because more home lowers procing because of more supply.

zoning laws

some places, they restrict building to strictly residential or strictly commercial building. as WFH becomes more mainstream more land needs to be made as residential land. or remove the zoning alltogether

airbnb

airbnb gets you more money in popular areas. it takes away a potenial home for a local worker in favor for maximum investments, which is bad for the city, because it circumvents hotel taxes, and takes away potential income tax from someone who would have lived and worked in the area.

itll (likely) be the fastest gaming cpu on the market, but it also likely wont be priced well either. the recent rise in price on the 7800x3d is due to a slow down on its supply, and probably also to make the 9800x3d serm like its priced well when its going to be costly.

i mean you still update on your command, its just that you update all the stuff at once, and theres virtually almost always an update at a given time.

to be fair, even if you got the job, ciscos high turnover rate, you'd probably be out the door in under 2 years anyways

wdym lol, AOE2DE has 22k playing right now, which is Diablo 4 tier player count, slightly behind rpgs like Skyrim or Cyberpunk 2077

the body at times is such a rudimentary way of regulating health, as increasing your body temperature to destroy the infection is like the emergency button

if you live in the bay area, youd understand who works in tech, and whose a tech bro, very easily.

thats why investments are inportant for long term. the problem we face as a society is that the majority of people cant afford to make these investments, as they are living day to day with their paychecks.

linux has 2 really good target audiences people using it as a near chrome book like experience, and ultra advanced users who want fine control of the system.

its everyone else in the middle that needs to play how much do i have to tweak in order to do what I want.

uses the Arm A76 cores, ao the smartphone SOC to compare it to would be ones using the Snapdragon 855 (e.g Samsung S10) but neuter its multicore perf becauae mobile uses both big and little cores.

tldr will run some games, but not all. still struggle street

which is the condition on whether a user wants to make it cheap, else you have to go theough the trouble of sideloading the requied stuff to turn the device into a mixedvr/piracy headset by cutting off the meta related services.

else the "cheap" option would be to go use older windows mixed VR headsets, or cheaper chinese options(e.g Pico Vr headsets), both having their own cost of using it, very similar to what you sign into for users who buy a phone, or a console.

they seperated facebook and made it specific to a occulus (meta) account. however at some point of having a meta account, there are methods of outright stripping most of the meta connectivity after granting yourself developer mode and sideloading changes.

its a standalone device that functionally is like buying a phone with a Snapdragon 865(for older quest 2 models). relative to what you're paying for. It's actually not that expensive in the grand scheme of other gaming devices, as its on par/cheaper than basiaclly all other mainstream gaming devices, and on the low end in terms of smartphone pricing.

Part of the reason why when people were saying they wanted competition to unseat x86, I didn't want it to be ARM based, because I knew 100% that ARM would jump in and do some shit to rake in more profit and negate all the potential cost savings to the consumer. As long as theres a single(or in the case of x86, essentially (but technically not) duopoly) that controls all the options for one of the options, then it's not a good form of competition.
