Wow, they are incredibly cheap in the US - in Australia they are nearly double the price per kg.

Pistachios seem awfully cheap from what I know pistachios to cost even considering high caloric density.

$60 for 4gb for a board??

You can get a whole computer with a disk, 16gb ram a cooler, a case, and a power supply for not much more.

Edit: lol at the downvotes. Look for mini pcs on amazon. Dreamquest 16gb can be had for roughly usd$170. Let alone going on eBay and getting something second hand.

Edit 2: here’s a USD$114 computer with 12gb of ram from Ali express

Strong copium vibes from Adams…

I guess Howard Dean won because all anyone can remember is his scream.

I guess Romney won because all anyone can remember is “binders full of women”.

People laughing at and being disgusted with the convicted felon / village idiot is not a win.

I don’t mind Ubuntu server, though you’re right you need to clean it up a bit by uninstalling snap and killing the login ad of managed k8s, the LTS versions have been quite consistently easy to deal with and stable, but then again so has Debian.

I think a possibility is a series of open source anvil or nixos scripts that you can run on most hardware with minimal changes, in an extendable architecture of some kind to add or remove functionality and they perhaps get maintained by the community or some structure of the kind of Linux distributions.

This could enable people with minimal skills set up and maintain a reasonably useful but secure environment just by changing a few variables.

Plenty of examples where money didn’t make it so, I mean Bloomberg tried to spend his way into being elected and didn’t work. Money is a necessary but not sufficient ingredient for a campaign.

Unlike other chat services Telegram has a “social” aspect and search capabilities for locating public discussion channels.

Furthermore E2EE is optional and most people don’t turn it on and is certainly not on in public channels.

While techies are freaking out about an attack on encryption the articles I’ve read so far don’t mention anything about encryption or otherwise it seems that French police is concerned about moderation or attempts at moderation of those public channels, that Telegram specifically refuses to moderate.

Perhaps this will be an attack on encryption by stealth but at this point that’s not what it looks like.

As a personal anecdote when I installed Telegram a few years ago and searched for my city’s name the top 20 results where channels offering to sell you heroin - which I thought was so blatant as to be certain it was police sting operations - but who knows.

The problem with every terminator after 2 is that they went from “no fate but what we make” to determinism.

See how much an exploit for iPhone vs Android will run you in the open market.

Also how fast a discovered security hole will be patched and distributed to the fleet between the two systems.

Most Android phones will never get a patch, some will get it 6 - 12 months later and very few within the month.

Also one is run by an advertising company.

I hate that the headline is putting it as a foregone conclusion.

Instead of something along the lines of: Will the government allow this massive theft of intellectual property of average Australians?

Haha!

I’ll believe AI can replace engineers when I see NVIDIA firing them. But like the graphic says, the manager’s job seems a lot easier to replace instead.

More than that, most peanut butter has a lot of hydrogenated vegetable fats which are likely much worse than a bit of sugar.

If the package doesn’t have a tablespoon of peanut oil or so pooling at the top when you first open it, that you then need to mix it in, it’s hydrogenated.

They don’t know what you are talking about my fellow Aussie. Any A in an acronym means “American” to the USAns. That other countries exist that start with A is unfathomable.

“Real heroes use bikes - do you?”

Perhaps this was written much earlier than v5.

The combination of clean UI with long promised updates seems like a winning combination. I don’t really play games on my phone. I just want it to go through the basic tasks quickly (photos, voice dictation, app switching etc, I currently have a OnePlus 7 Pro and it has kept up admirably - but being stuck in android 12 with some quirky behaviour is a bit annoying).

So I guess I’m not looking for a powerhouse - but I do want something that does the basic stuff right - however if it doesn’t bring table stakes (ie if modem or voice quality or other connectivity is subpar) then the rest is not important.

Thanks for the heads up, I hadn’t considered that as a criterion and was thinking of pulling the trigger. Do you have any recommendations?
