What prevents them for doing the same? Not doing their job until they are fired so they don't have to quit. I would get that would be even more shameful

I would hardly consider "one or two trump supporter in two years" a silo, like how many other people you encountered that were less extremists and more capable of dialogue?

Also, lemmy is not immune to tech propaganda, since it cannot be taken in isolation: people will still (albeit probably less intesively) biased by consuming other media, and being mostly a link aggregator rather than a generator of original content, there will still be some bias from the sources. It's just a place where there's no omnipotent algorithm so the problem is less grave, but still present.

Not hating, I don't know from which year this is from, didn't even know it's a development kit, and although the capabilities I mentioned are recent (and by recent, thunderbolt 4 has been around for at least a couple years, PD 120w for around the same or even more), a single usb-C has been capable of driving a portable device, that needs charging and a display output, from at least 7+ years.

You can call me cynical, but yes, if I see a strange double usb-C port I think it doesn't really make a ton of sense and the first thing I think about is a strange trick to transform a standard technology in something proprietary, especially since nintendo has done the same with the switch 2 by implementing non-standard usb c in their dock.

You can easily download planet.osm, I think it's a couple of TB for the compressed file.

USB 3.2 or 4 allows for a thunderbolt 4 interface, that runs at 40 GB/s (for external gpu cards). Thunderbolt also uses Power Delivery and the latest version allows for a 48V @ 5A profile, that would be 240W. Even previous versions allow for 24V @ 5V (120W).

As for the cable length I wouldn't really know, probably it's possible up to a meter, if the cable is well shielded, the power doesn't change much because the current os always rather low, it's the voltage that increases.

A single usbc can deviler 240W and data at 40 GB/s, what else can it be other than vendor lockin by nintendo?

Imagine you are being beamup from a mission on a planet just for everyone to cheer and cry as you materialize. You are confused because they saw you 5 seconds ago but they explain that you died a gruesome death and got recovered from the last teleport buffer of you. How traumatic would that be?

Can't really advise you on what to do, but here's some conaiderations:

• I still use a 4th gen i7 with 16 GB ddr3 and a gtx970, still going fine in its 10th year. Just recently upgraded to a gtx1060 I found around • 10 years old techbology isn't really any diffetent than today, only slower, but luckily architectural incompatibility is becoming less and less of a problem (except when it's forced upon for no particular reason, see win11) • gpu especially are extremely backward and forward compatible, if you only need more VRAM, you can use a modern gpu with a very old mobo and cpu and chances are you'll be as good, and even if you need to upgradr them later because you are cpu-bottleneck, you can still keep the gpu. I'm guessing in 90% of cases, pci lane speed is relatively unimportant wether it's gen3 or gen5.

Basically, upgradr when you feel you are limited in what you can do, ignore the pressure caused by the generations passing by, as time goes on, I predict we'll need less and less hardware upgrade until a nee revolutionary technology comes about that changes everything.

Microsoft tried enforcing copilot on their developer, I can't find the link but there are some great issues in github where the developers tried arguing with the AI that goes a little like this:

"copilot, can you fix the bug explained in this issue?" "Sure I can, here's a pull request to fis issue #6969" "This code doesn't fix the issue explained, you must do x and y to fix it..." "You are correct! Here's another pull request where I did X and Y to fix the issue!" "No, you didn't..." "You are right! Here's another pull request..."

So on and so forth

The trasporter destroys your matter, stores it as information, and recreates you on the other side. They literally have the power to clone humans indefinitely, and to prevent death by restoring a "checkpoint" saved in the transporter buffer. They can absolutely take the pattern of tuvix and clone it while separating the two.

You probably get trasported in the middle of the Bell riots or just before the bombs start dropping

Didn't know about that formula. Is it used behind the scene but never mentioned, or just used retroactively to explain the difference between the different series?
