I mean that would save millions and millions of dollars right off the top. Between salary, bonuses and stock were talking hundreds of millions in some cases. Maximum shareholder value increase.

Don’t forget the eruv circling Manhattan so they can ignore other Sabbath rules wholesale while going about their days.

No, that was just development on the promised No Man’s Sky-style recovery they were working on.

It improved a bit, and then the studio began working on an overhaul internally to provide what the game should have been, sort of No Man’s Sky style… but they were shutdown by Bioware.

There’s a lot of reasons it ended up the way it did, development hell and poor management mostly. Hell, the flight mechanic, which had been added and removed several times in development, was core to the released game, and easily the best part, apparently wasn’t even decided to be a necessary feature until Patrick Soderlund, former head of EA studios, was very disappointed in a demo BioWare had shown in early 2017 that the team decided to add flying back in.

One of the core pillars of the game was essentially added just to impress an executive and keep the development going versus being canceled. Flight like in the game requires the entire map and structure of the game world to be different. If you can fly,. you now need to take advantage of the vertical space, something that simply doesn’t even get considered in most games. A mountain you can climb is not the same as needing to fill in an entire mountain range and canyon region with content.

This is one of those situations where adhering to the treaty doesn’t actually do anything positive, it just handicaps Ukraine’s options.

A primary reason for the treaty is that landmines are indiscriminant and they last well beyond the length of the war they’re placed for. So civilians are at risk decades after a war ends. The intent is to prevent ANY mines from being placed, by having everyone agree not to place them ahead of time.

However, Russia is going to place mines anyway no matter what. So there are going to be landmines in the area because of them regardless even if Ukraine doesn’t place their own, so the danger will already be there, except Ukraine will have one less tool to fight with.

I switched to Bitwarden after the LastPass stuff a couple years ago, and I just got around to installing Vaultwarden on my TrueNAS system at home. Using a single Cloudflare Tunnel to handle secure external connections for that and other services like Emby easily. Took a little bit to setup following some guides, but has been working flawlessly for me and some friends. You can use the regular Bitwarden apps and extensions since they natively support self hosting.

Ah, yeah it’s just a docker app running on TrueNAS. To be honest, the hardest part was getting cloudflare setup, but only because I’d never done it before.

I literally just did this a couple weeks ago and it’s been great so far. Able to run it on my NAS through the same Cloudflare tunnel I use for Emby.

Played for about 2 hours yesterday and that’s exactly what is happening. The game prevents you from plopping your space right on top of another base but the blocked region around it isn’t very large.

Losing 1/3 of your bombers in one attack means you’re going to be a lot more careful with the remaining ones though. They lost a significant chunk of their reactionary forces in one go.

Russia has already been fighting a lot longer than they planned and have taken much heavier losses. The only reason they’re still going at all is Putin’s ego and inability to admit any mistakes.

I’m not sure. The admin has been threatening the justices lately, albeit indirectly. They might use this to make a point.

Crazy, thought for sure it would fail testing.

Still wouldn’t trust it personally after a failed stick from a matched pair regardless of what the test says though.

(used to have 2, one died)

That would make me immediately look to the RAM as the possible source or corruption. If it used to be a matched pair and one stick died, the odds of the other being on its way out are MUCH higher than normal. I would never trust that matched stick.

Similar issues even with just 2 DIMMs with some XMP/EXPO profiles not working on AMD systems because of board/CPU limits. It should technically work, but for whatever reason it just can’t handle it and speeds need to be dropped or the timings loosened a bit even though the RMA itself is rated for that.

Not that the higher speeds are even necessary for 90% of users outside extreme overclocking. DDR5 6000 is basically where you reach diminishing returns anyway, and that’s often where that limit seems to appear.

Yeah AMD’s memory controllers, especially DDR5 seem to have a lot more difficulty at high speed with 4 slots filled. I used to plan upgrades around populating 2 slots and doubling if needed a few years later, instead now you really need to plan to ignore those slots if you are needing memory performance for things like gaming versus raw capacity.

Dug into it, got into Memtest’s source code and discovered that the first pass is shorter on purpose so that it quickly flags obviously bad RAM. Apparently if you want to detect less obvious issues, you have to run multiple passes.

I thought it was common knowledge that Memtest needed to be run for multiple passes to truly verify there are no issues. Seems that’s one of those things that stopped being passed down in the community over the years. Back when I was first learning about overclocking around 2005 that was emphasized HEAVILY, with the recommendation to run it at least overnight, and a minimum of 10 passes.

I hate everything about this idea.

Instead they’re buying F150s and the like that are just as dangerous to everyone else on or near the road.

Simple, the regulations don’t talk about any of that shit.

US road regulations are a blend of smart, fucking stupid, and just plain missing regulations.

The fact any current “standard” pickup trucks are allowed on the road despite nearly half the population being short enough that they can’t see over the hood is just one of the most obvious examples that the US road regulations are pointless to try and make sense of.

Those are only the newer versions from the last year or so. They used to have regular fucking stalks. Even after they swapped the wheel for the yolk.
