$12 for a 1TB MicroSD card? Are you living in the future? :P

Yeah, as low as $61 on Amazon for 1TB. Pretty amazing if you’re old like me and remember diskettes.

A 1-terabyte MicroSD card

Dealing with 6 different media companies is exhausting. You have no idea. When they finally merge my staff will only need to pay one of them. More time for everyone to play golf. Win-win.

Companies use the same kind of systems to (poorly) automate the search for candidates, which is also spammy, inefficient, and wastes job-seekers time. This just levels the playing field.

My guess is it depends on the damage this attack will cause. If the missiles are all shot down or hit desert, it will be some punitive F-35 strike on an Iranian airfield somewhere. But if there’s significant damage and casualties it could escalate.

I don’t think Iran is going to risk all out war with Israel and the US. I suspect they expect most of their missiles (like the drones) to be shot down. Perhaps that’s wishful thinking though…

Who considers Patrick a trusted source of information? He’s basically doing comedy news with a focus on finance. Entertaining, interesting, but not like a full-on serious reporter.

It’s surprisingly calming to listen to Patrick cathartically vent, after what must’ve been a stressful education and career in finance.

Keep Lemmy small. Make the influence of conversation here uninteresting.

I’m doing my part!

I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works on Lemmy. For some reason “block” here is really what “mute” is everywhere else on fedi.

Not the onion indeed

Guess I won’t meet the minimum requirements then. Oh well. Plenty of other games on my backlog.

It’s basically corporate anti-virus software. Intended to detect and prevent malware.

Most large instances have a support community. That seems like the suitable place to raise a moderation issue with specific a community on the instance.

Killer Bean? What year is it!?

According to the article this system also detects power outages and shuts off when they happen. Just like full-scale solar power systems. But yeah, no physical kill switch.

I’m guessing regular non-LP DDR works fine socketed in desktops because power is nearly a non-issue. Need to burn a few watts to guarantee signal integrity? We’ve got a chonky PSU, so no problem. On mobile devices however every watt matters…

I doubt doing it in software like that outperforms sqrtss/sqrtsd. Modern CPUs can do the conversions and the floating point sqrt in approximately 20-30 cycles total. That’s comparable to one integer division. But I wouldn’t mind being proven wrong.

Well, yeah, but you asked why they didn’t use integer sqrt. It’s something many programming languages just don’t have. Or if they do, it’s internally implemented as a sqrt(f64) anyway, like C++ does.

Most CPUs AFAIK don’t have integer sqrt instructions so you either do it manually in some kind of loop, or you use floating point…
