These seem way more forgiving tho. Up to the point you can connect it hot and working and it’d go nice.

You have some code to do so?

These sockets without any holes at all look and feel like they need these. These are mostly in notebooks where you do need to secure the connection, and it feels like whenever you put it in it is ready to go off at any second.

After you properly connected it, sealing just one seems okay, isn’t it?

That’s when you use the ports placed on the motherboard in a standard verical PC case, meaning the system uses integrated graphics for the visual output instead of deticated videocard. Videocards that are put into MB at 90° are horizontal, right, but in most office setups I handle they are rare nowadays. Videocards are almost exclusively installed when you handle 3d and content rendering in demanding apps, and for office and browser stuff they are too costy after the crypto price hike and in a sanctioned Russia.

Nettops have horizontal motherboards tho.

Got it. I myself was a ‘both sides’ guy, kek, but gradually descended to just one and it’s yet to fail me.

Let’s say it’s for years, but this setup is not moving around at all and it’s one of like a hundred of machines you prepare for usage.

It’s probably to nullify the incentive to use external LLMs, thus marking everything generated on the platform by the platform as such and also meaning Zuck can regulate what can actually be generated controlling the flow of LLM-gen content. If you put it that way, it doesn’t sound that senseless.

Astra (used in MIC) is outdated shit, RED OS (more commercial) is cooler and wine’d in a lot of our windows-oriented apps, but both would have a hard time without international community if threatened.

That’s just some figureheads shitting with their mouths. There are millions of machines still running Windows with no way to change without a pushback from users and admins, and also some Linux machines that would only suffer if we branch out.

It’s hard to block all shipments, but those that come through get purchased with a heavy markup. I didn’t heard of these companies, but in consumer electronics I can still buy a lot of stuff from companies that aren’t working in Russia, but it would not only cost me an arm and a leg since ruble is a rubble right now, it would also mean additional costs from gray importers like in this article and our store chains compensating their losses by putting them onto consumers. A lot of money go to the middlemen and corruptioners, supporting their practices, so it’s probably not bad I guess.

Or sitting on the edge of the row leaving empty sits blocked.

Wasn’t sure about that, thank you.

My and my friend’s non-selfhosted vpns work, but it’s probably the case of security by obscurity.

How many people even do CAD? Most users use Word\Excel\Browser of choice. That’s i3 of 12 gen Intel.

I point out they hit the minority of users who are needed to be hit with that, those who produce weapons and propaganda, those who need advanced graphics to render stuff.

ed: One can play popular multiplayer games with gen12 integrated Intel CPU or an according AMD chip alone.

Intel and AMD chips can support youtube and office apps themselves alright. It is 90% of casual PC usage for home setups and office usage. V-card drivers and discrete v-cards are not required for most people. Is that wrong?

There aren’t many uses where discrete v-cards are needed now and where integrated won’t be enough. Machine learning, content editing, engineering and science, mostly. So besides making purchased v-cards less effective or useless, it aims at top consumers, industry, may it be media or production facilities, including MIC. Ah, and gamers, the most opressed minority.

They aren’t legally, but many sites to get them (besides market apps) are not easily accessible and payment is not easy.

In Premiere it’s great to generate captions. But I’m cautious since it:

1. depends on their servers - they upload your stuff, manipulate it and bring it back;
2. therefore it is 100% aligned with subscription model that is hell they practice for more than a dozen of years now;
3. makes you always online and always on the latest version to keep being competitive, even if you dislike certain changes they introduced.

In a sense, it’s the missing brick in their DRM wall that ties it all together. Not their content stocks, nor their cloud stuff felt that natural of an obstacle. And while it’s small now, I think they’d only make the difference between (allegedly) pirates and their always online customers bigger. Like, the next thing they’d gonna do is make healing brushes in every editor a server-only tool scrapping the pretty great local version they have now.

Hehe. Some games we tried were too much so I guess something more simplistic gotta be nice.

Thanks, I’d look into it.

Haven’t tried Kart (and MarioKart too). How fun is that for a couple?
