- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 37 minutes ago:
These server boards are usually the same as scientific and engineering workstation boars. They’re pretty good if you put the right CPU in. Xeon or i7 4770 and you’ll get a quite useable workstation out of them.

Non-gamers only. I recently replaced my mobo by a slightly older (the model, the board itself was brand new) industrial PC board. 32GB DDR3, NVidia Quadro K2200, 2 x gigabit ethernet, USB 3.1, five serial ports, three programmable digital IO ports, hardware watchdog, i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz. It’s a Loonix machine and I don’t use it for gaming but I do a lot of animation, video editing, µcontroller programming and 3D-modelling with it. Super reliable, fast enough for most stuff. If I need more raytracing power, I just cluster it with my Lenovo p15.

Java is not Javascript. They’re not even related. Netscape chose the name to profit from Java’s poularity back in its’ day.

The fact that something should be a specific way has absolutely nothing to to with the way it actually is.

A corporate troll manipulating the public opinion by claiming corporate trolls were manipulating public opinion, that is.

Yeah. It’s probably corporate trolls manipulating public opinion.

Now, if he’d avoid stepping on the gaps between floor tiles, I’d sympathize. Horrible, unspeakable THINGS might happen if you’re stepping on them. But this is just weird.

Actually, it was the Romans who came up with the term “Germani” for the various tribes at the nortthern end of the world. The anglo-saxons being one of them.

'cause your plane would take off earlier if only these lame ducks in front of you were less lame. Also you’re going to miss valuable waiting time at the gate because of them. I feel your pain, but would you mind reading a little bit faster, I don’t have time ALL FUCKING DAY, please.
- Comment on Anybody know a source for old logos as stickers? 1 week ago:
You mean a M575S? Because the 585 is just a common mouse. Finding old (obsolete, abandoned) logos as stickers is really hard. The fact that adhesives don’t last forever and ink of all sorts will fade in sunlight doesn’t help either. You best chance might be to find somebody with screen printing equipment. (Nothing to do with screenshots!) Repair cafes and the like often have them and many are also offering workshops for very little money. You might even get a small screen printing device (screens, press, roller, paint plus photoreactive paste, more than good enough for stickers) for little money. The printing process for a simple two to four colour logo is ridiculously easy.
Another way is scanning or otherwise acquiring the logos, optionally transforming them to SVG to soften the edges and having a copy shop, repro workshop or print shop print them on adhesive foil. Don’t be too cheap or you’ll end up with stickers that will drastically fade in realtively short time. - Comment on The AI explosion isn't just hurting the prices of computers and consoles – it's coming for TVs and audio tech too 1 week ago:
“Codec informatiom” is in ROM or implemented in hardware directly. Even studio quality audio interfaces that are DSP comtrolled will need only relatively small amounts of RAM; relatively slow memory for variable space and slightly faster mem for buffering. Both in the megabyte range and far from the speed that GPUs or AI require.

Serves you right, Amazon victims. I hope your lords and masters at Amazon will spray you orange and force you eat lukewarm oysters in public by the dozen for only $999/month. And you’ll be grateful, because you love to be fleeced. Also, it’s basically a bargain and your neighbours don’t have it!

Maybe it is now. The one,. I saw not that long ago was a single piece.
- Comment on Hostile architecture 1 week ago:
It’s a single installation, AFAIK - and definitely an art project.
- Comment on Hostile architecture 1 week ago:
This is real. It’s located in Giulianova Lido, Italy. IIRC an arts project from a local school and it is meant as a way to “integrate” wheelchairs symbolically as well as practically.

- Comment on Removing the auto-off timer from my coffee machine 1 week ago:
It certainly isn’t on the second PCB. That’s the power supply and I’d definitely keep my hands off that. YOur best chance is to look for an IC with “555” in its’ type number. That’s the most commonly used timer chip. Search the net for a data sheet for the specific type and find the right pin to ground. It should be the one to start the timer; depending on the way the timeout is implemented it might also be the “set” pin.
