I’m about to be forced to switch to Opera, a Chinese-owned browser, Firefox, a bloted piece of crap, or some weak open source browser.

Sigh. The internet is dead.

Meanwhile, people are worried about tech companies laying off 5k-20k people and 'dismantling the industry'... AI will make these numbers look like rounding errors.

Same, its about time they updated it.

Ok maybe not best. I think you're right about algae doing more scrubbing than our boreal forests.

But I will have to check on the acid thing. As far as I know atmospheric CO2 levels contribute more to ocean acidification.

Was the rock you’ve been under nice, at least?

Sounds like you slapped your PC together and never went into the bios to take full use of that “k” at the end of the CPUs name.

The i9-9900k at 5ghz is by no means a bottleneck for the rtx 3080ti or 3090 at max settings; And it can handle a 4080ti just fine as well.

The 9900k is by all means good for the next 10 years of gaming, even upgrading to a 4090 won’t bottleneck it.

A 13900k OC to 6.2 GHz with E cores disabled will probably be needed for a top line 50xx series if you wanted one. But at that point there is really no reason to start gaming at 8k, 4k is plenty tbh.

Now if you compare only stock speeds and never OC then sure, upgrade. But maybe stop wasting your money on the “k” if you never plan to put it to use.

And incentivize the many to move to smaller towns to live closer to (new) work, instead of the wastefulness that is living in your car for a couple hours a day, when you have things you could be doing to better your health (mental and physical).

I'm so happy to be a 3min walk from work. Cost of living is less, but, so is the pay. IT positions around NW Oklahoma has terrible pay. With Walmart's recent change in pay, debating to go back, just depends on how reliable their scheduling system is (bet ya, it's still squarely and annoying).

Some already do. Some do one week on, one week off 12hour shifts. It's a strange country setup.

Yes and no.

Depending on enviroment

Swamp, boggy terrains trap large amounts of CO2. On the other hand, the anaerobic decomposition that often occurs in such enviroments can emit large amounts of methane.

And expanding forests creates a net loss, while cutting them down obviously emits CO2.

All in all, forest can't be simply be grown magically, not all areas are suitable for forests. And I don't see many countries capable of embarking into antidesertification campaigns like China succesfuly.

Yup, and iOS users were doing it on Macs for years before that.

That explains the Borg ship: Cubensis

Sticky notes needs an Always On Top option.

I've been using last pass for years but I'm thinking of canceling and just using Google to save my password. What do you think?

Also I'm pretty sure you have to hook it up to the National Grid don't you? Don't you just get a rebate from them depending on how much you produce?

It is a problem, but consider this. Mexican labor is now cheaper than Chinese labor and they are going through the largest buildout of industrial capacity in their history.

Not to mention the rest of south east Asia is still dirt cheap for mass production.

There aren't enough cyber sec people to hire, and most companies don't take it seriously until it's too late

>The report acknowledged that some fossil fuel generators were required to stay running in order to provide flexibility and inertia services to grid operator National Grid ESO during the periods when demand was fully met by clean sources of power.

This is a huge caveat. They're basically saying they outsourced all the things that renewables currently don't do very well to other sections of their grid so they could claim 100% renewable.

It's kind of like saying this one town by a wind farm was powered by 100% renewable energy. Not technically incorrect, but very, very misleading.

Like Shell?

Just the other day, for an inside joke between a couple of friends, in a span of 20 minutes, using free tools, I created two fake videos, one from scratch, the other using a pic of me. Both had TTS audio. The one I generated of my image, should have been more difficult yet the way it generated facial motion was extremely impressive. It "understood" the interaction of light and casting correct shadows as it added head movements into the still image I provided. Even the free tools are excellent as far visuals and facial motions of speech are concerned. The audio part is behind but this is a free tool. Pro Neural TTS audio tools are an unknown to me. I imagine it gets really scary if it's fed a lot of samples of my voice.

Hahahaha!

Because that is EXACTLY what ChatGPT lacks! By the very way it functions.

> it is not a primary source

AND NEITHER IS ChatGPT

No original information comes from ChatGPT. It is just a repository.

That's my point.

>it's neither a primary (best) source, or even a secondary source, like a newspaper article.

> It's just a random assortment of (mostly correct) information. That's the same reason why academia doesn't currently allow Wikipedia as a source for information
