Make a textfile you sync between your devices. Save the URL, book name, or whatever; each on a new line.

So tags and the option to filter them would be nice!

You can tag them at will. Put “#TagName” next to an entry and later you can ctrl-f “#TagName” (or anything else) in the file. Notepad++, grep, and other tools will even give you a list of everything that matched your search criteria if you want to see all items that match at once.

I like to keep things simple!

Every language does this. It isn’t colonialism, it’s convenience and practicality. Some sounds don’t exist or are awkward, so a different name is used instead.

Can we not have the lying bots teaching people how to run a nuclear plant?

Basically no GPU needs a full PCIe x16 slot to run at full speed. There are motherboards out there which will give you 3 or 4 slots of PCIe x8 electrical (x16 physical). I would look into those.

Edit: If you are willing to buy a board that supports AMD Epyc processors, you can get boards with basically as many PCIe slots as you could ever hope for. But that is almost certainly overkill for this task.

My first thought was: why have I never heard of this? The answer seems to be: 2" x 3" photo paper costs $0.41/ea.

Mail-order professional photo prints are quite a bit cheaper than that. So, the main thing this contends with is other instant photo creation methods. Which are pretty niche ever since digital cameras became good.

Am I correct in understanding that the card will run at PCIe gen 3 X1 if I do this?

Correct. The situation you described in the original post would result in Gen 3 x1 speeds.

The interface will always default to the fastest standard that both sides can support. If one is gen 2 and the other is gen 4, gen 2 is the highest that can be supported. If one side is x8 and the other is x4, x4 is the highest that can be supported.

What can I do if the card is PCIe gen 2 x8?

If you put a Gen 2 x8 card in a Gen 4 x1 slot, you will get a Gen 2 x1 link.

File a small slit in the end of the slot so the card fits into it, but runs past the back. The card will run at Gen 3 x1 speed, but otherwise work properly.

Many motherboards even come with the end of the PCIe slots open for this exact purpose.

Edit: Gen 3 x1 runs at almost a full GB/s, so a 2.5Gb/s card (notice the change in size of the “B”) should have more than enough bandwidth on Gen 3 x1, even at 2.5Gb/s full duplex.

it’s long since outlived its usefulness as a concept

It is the critical basis on why all diets work. One can eat as healthy as they want, but if they eat more calories than they expend, they will gain weight. Tossing aside such a fundamental concept is fraught. Instead, build upon it.

OP wants to design a diet that has the following requirements: reduce body fat, vegan, high-protein. Vegan limits it to plants, and high-protein further limits it to things like beans and tofu. Now, OP needs to figure out how much beans and tofu he can eat to achieve his goal, and this is where calories in - calories out becomes critical. Eat the right amount and the diet works.

CaloriesIn - CaloriesOut = WeightChange

Fat forms using spare calories. Any diet that involves eating fewer calories than what you burn will reduce your body fat.

As long as you have that part right, you are free to add any other requirements on your diet you wish.

Less about people being too stupid and more about people just not seeing the point. The average person touches the AC/Heat switch only a few times a year.

I personally love the days where it’s cool enough at night to open the windows and get the house temperature down. Means the AC the next day doesn’t have to do nearly as much (and thus my electric bill isn’t as high).

The article literally says South Africa bans Starlink due to the race of the owner. As his race does not meet South Africa’s Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) regulations:

Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by Musk’s SpaceX, has been unable to enter the South African market due to the country’s Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) regulations. These laws require that companies providing communication services be at least 30% owned by historically disadvantaged groups to receive an operating license.

Yep, compression can do wonders. Let’s say a piece of data is 1010110010110101 repeating 10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10 times in a row. (No I didn’t screw up my notation there, that is just a massive number)

You cannot fit that piece of data on a hard drive uncompressed, yet I just communicated it to you in a compressed format and you can view the data accurately at any position.

Edit: That number in an easier to read format:

You can often get such assistance if you are poor. If you aren’t, it’s expected you or your parents will cover basic costs.

If you have a question, ask it. Don’t fish for people’s personal info.

If they aren’t getting much traction somewhere, but are spending outsized resources there, it makes sense to redirect the manhours elsewhere.

I remember getting really annoyed at the LoL community as anytime you were in that balanced section they just wanted to surrender and get to the ‘your team stomps theirs’ sooner. Certainly not missing that game, every time one of my friends play it, the annoyance in his voice skyrockets.

We got all this dooming 8 years ago as well. We were fine then, we will be fine now.

i sometimes need to watch youtube videos. these can be black and white only.

I think you want a normal laptop with a software that makes the screen black and white.

Yeah, my experience with it is that its…fine. Though I only use it on my work computer. I’m wondering if part of the issue is the home version ‘offering’ to hoover everything.

BYD is heavily subsidized by China. Tariffs to offset the Chinese subsidies are reasonable.
