Resolve? The US is going to impose tariffs on Taiwan before China invades.

Forgiveness is always possible, although if someone hits me with DARVO, I’m going to forever filter their behavior through a check before helping them. It’s sorta amazing what we can go through and forgive after, but I guess the misnomer is that the apology is for them and not ourselves.

I don’t consider it Art, but the specific reason I hate it is because it is meant to be an illusion of something that it’s not, and it’s crafted that illusion off the blood sweat and tears of people whom it treats as a line item in a database by people who don’t respect it. It is fundamentally a bastardizarion of the creative soul and rather purposefully at that.

I mean, every highly contrasted media we’ve ever watched, just about, is about someone with a modicum of empathy struggling against a fascist with no empathy to their cause, and what is more fascist than diminishing or dilluting the perceived value of art to the public? Art is the only language allowed to those who are repressed.

Do you have a source for AMD chips being especially energy efficient? I don’t consider them to be even close. M3 is 190 cinebench points per watt whereas Ryzen 7 7840U is 100. My ppw data doesn’t contain snapdragon x yet, but it’s generally considered to be a multithreading king on the market and it runs as signifcantly lower tdp than AMD. SoCs are inherently more energy efficient. My memory of why is the instruction sets on x86 allow for more complicated process but ARM is hard restricted to using less complicated processes as building blocks if complexity is required.

Like I mentioned though, there are tasks that x86 cannot be beat on but it’s because they use ASICs on-chip for hardware accelerated encoding/decoding and nothing is more efficient at a task than a (purpose-built, task specific*) ASIC /FPGA.

Dell is already releasing Qualcomm SoC Latitudes. There are bound to be compatibility issues, but performance wise it’s kinda undeniable that this is where the market is going. It is far more energy efficient than an Intel or AMD x86 CPU and holds up just fine. The main downsides you’ll see could likely be resolved with ASICs, which is how Intel keeps 4k video from being choppy on low end APUs for example. Compared to M4, Qualcomm’s offering is slightly better at multithreaded performance and slightly worse at single thread. The real downside to them is really the reliance on raw throughput for tasks that both brands of CPUs have purpose built daughter chips for.

Of course he does. The president literally benefitted directly from Apartheid and feels personally attacked by the reforms around it.

An ethnostate that’s also acting fascistic?! No wayyy /s

Makes a lot of sense that the IDF are the same people largely training cops in the US. Conflicting logic and orders so no matter what they get to shoot.

Poor guy, is he being carried by a firefighter?

Again*

He literally did this shit last time too and nobody batted at eye, it was months after his virtue signaling about free speech and he defended it by saying, “What else could I do uwu? Not have service in Turkey?”

Presumably the president saying that it’s going to use the entire federal executive to boost a single failing company’s shortcomings is good for buyer confidence. At this point it should be nationalized for as much money has been handed to that company from our pockets.

I didn’t need proof that Trump doesn’t care about Americans, but that really should have been enough proof for everyone. They kicked a pregnant woman when she was down and used brass knuckles on peaceful protesters on American soil… not a peep from Trump

Looks like maybe cut an artery on the window to me. Scary stuff all around.

Way to validate your opposition’s supposedly wrong actions in nearly the same breath, stooge.

“It’s a lot later than I thought it was. At least I got a decent amount done.”

Opposite direction: “Crap, it’s a lot later than I thought it was. I wish I had gotten more done. Maybe I’m not cut out for this.”

It’s kinda hilarious the 180 he’s been forced to do, and despite already appearing disingenuous before, he’s now such a joke that I’m surprised he shows his face. Doug Ford had a far better chance of success than he does.

The deaths are much much higher. The IDF targets healthcare employees same as journalists. Can’t count if you’re dead I guess. World’s most moral army, they said.

Best parking I’ve ever seen on a truck that big, and it’s still crooked.

The fault is obviously the driver who hit them, but also the social pressure of holding everyone up and making a quick decision to go and clear up the intersection.

This isn’t unlike a situation where a truck stopped to help my sister turn left out of a business he wanted to turn into on a 2 lane 2 way. She had no visibility, and the dude was angerly waving her to leave for his wide turn. She let the social pressure get to her, went out to peak around him, saw the far lane was clear and went, then got tboned by someone zipping around him. She never would have tried that had he not made her seem like she was the unreasonable one making him circle the block again or make the wide turn into the other lane to get in straighter… Course he didn’t stop to be a witness either.
