According to the Sailor Moon dub, they’re ‘cousins’.

That would explain the prices, I guess.

Why is it OK that people work at a job, produce wealth, then almost all of it goes to some fuck on a yacht?

Being male is a huge advantage when gaming - I don’t know how I’d even game without both hands on the keyboard and controlling the mouse with my dick.

Sudden onset defenestration. It’s an epidemic.

The ‘drop her a message’ link needs to be a lot more obvious, IMO.

Obligatory: Just one more lane, bro

the ICQ age

There’s a blast from the past. Uh oh!

IIRC TRIM commands just tell the SSD that data isn’t needed any more and it can erase that data when it gets around to it.

The SSD might not have actually erased the trimmed data yet. Makes it even more important to turn it off ASAP and send it away to a data recovery specialist if it’s important data.

See, things don’t always get worse when you open Windows.

Have you cleaned the inside of your windscreen?

They can get scratched up, but if you haven’t cleaned the inside of the glass before, most of the crud is probably there and cleaning it will make a huge difference.

That’s because small businesses know there’s half a dozen competitors within a 20 minute drive and care about keeping your business.

When there’s two huge corporations that own the market between them, there’s more profit in not competing than they’d get by trying to win customers from each other.

Reddit has more bots arguing back and forth to encourage humans to engage.

It’s more about what happens after it stops running. If used cars are scarce and prices are high it makes a lot more sense to do that expensive engine repair. If used cars are cheap, you get more repairable cars going to the wrecker.

To be fair, those cars don’t just get set on fire when they’re done with them. They’re supplying the used car market.

It’s a terrible idea financially, but it isn’t actually wasteful.

Probably it’s cheaper to get 60 used low-end devices than one device that can run 60 copies of the Facebook app.

Reminds of when companies offshored their whole dev team and just sent requirements to them thinking they’d make code cheaper.

I mean, it was cheaper. It’s just that it was also awful. It was basically like firing all your senior devs and giving their work to randos who can’t code, but with plausible deniability.

That’s binary blob drivers for you, you just try different versions and hope it gets better someday.

One of the big advantages to open source drivers is that you can do a bisect to track some new breakage back to a specific patch. Sure, most people don’t know how to do that, but there’s a lot of people who can. And then the problem gets fixed for everybody.
