Every way, except for speed… which is all most people give a crap about
Every way, except for speed… which is all most people give a crap about
As someone that works at a storage devices company - we do still manufacture 10K HDDs. They are faster than the 7200s of the same spec, by nature. All 2.5” drives for enterprise systems. And will actually continue selling them until ~2030. That said, they’re all but obsolete at this point, and aren’t really being developed on any more.
I think it’s the caller ID. Should be easy, just have to get my mom to set it first.
Interesting, I guess I’ll have to try again. It kept telling me that there was an error processing when I tried locking it.
Fun fact: you can’t lock your credit through Innovis if the name on your phone number isn’t the same as your real name (for instance, I’m on my mother’s phone plan - I still have my own number, but I guess it’s under her name). I ran into this issue literally four days ago :/
I’ve had it on my daily driver for 6 or 7 years now and it makes me smile every time I see it even still. Reminds me of my childhood :)
DDR4 and DDR5 physically cannot fit into the same slot as one another. So if you’re upgrading to a CPU that only supports DDR5, you’ll need to upgrade your motherboard, too.
I’d also personally get a new boot drive. Aside from the fact that you’ll be forced to reinstall your OS, which will make everything run so much faster unless it’s already something that you do frequently, they’re very cheap and consistently getting faster and faster. Not to mention that drives don’t last forever. Trust me… I write firmware for SSDs.
Computer engineer here. I’m similar, spend a lot of my time mucking w/ semiconductors & such at work - I wouldn’t quite say CompEs and EEs are “tech bros” though. Tech savvy? Sure! But tech bros I like to think are the people who are more interested in monetizing tech than actually knowing how to use it.
That said, I most certainly consider myself a demon spawn.

Thank you! That makes much more sense.
We used these in my elementary, middle, and high schools, and I went to HS in the mid 2010’s! And we did still do drills with them.
Yes! The other comments are incorrect. This is a condition known as reversion. These trees are actually a mutation of a typical conifer, known aptly as a “dwarf conifer”. Mutations are oftentimes unstable, and can revert back to their original form - that’s what has happened to this tree. One of the branches (or multiple, potentially) have reverted and it’s actually growing a normal-size conifer on those branches now. Kinda neat! But can also be very bad for the tree.

Similar things can happen with variegation in leaves (reversion, that is).
I’ve got 3D pipes running on my spare Win10 machine :) fills me with nostalgia every time I see it, even still
Yeah, it’s certainly a good thing it doesn’t hail in the outback lmao
Exactly. And what’s worth remembering is that solar cars tend to be something like 2X longer then normal cars, and cover the entire surface except for windshield with panels. No rear windshield, either.
You’re absolutely right - still absurdly shaped pancakes and they can’t reach highway speeds when powered on solar power alone. They do reach road speeds nowadays but they’re allowed to charge during and after race time (regulations are pretty confusing). I was on a solar car team a few years back.
Doesn’t provide enough power for the cost of the cells, plus having to clean and upkeep them. And the more material you cover them with (to protect them; solar cells are INCREDIBLY fragile), the less efficient they are. I was on a solar car team in college and the cells are so fragile that to clean them, we had to use new microfiber cloths every time. Any dust would scratch and ruin them (which made it quite tough when I drove across the outback in the thing). We kept our cells completely uncovered because we needed maximum efficiency - but even with a super light carbon fiber solar car that’s got very minimal tire contact patches, specialized tires from Bridgestone, and a very aerodynamic shape (plus no amenities like A/C), I think our car could sustain something like 10-15 km/h on a perfectly sunny day in the middle of the outback. It just doesn’t add enough on a huge, heavy EV
