NeXT was a mediocre BSD front end and a few interesting Objective-C libraries. Apple’s board of directors pretty much crawled back to Jobs hat in hand after the disasters of Sculley and Spindler.

Or, the real sign of gentrification is that the Google Maps car drives by your neighborhood more than once every five years. Guarantee that’s not happening in the projects.

antitrust law does not regard as illegal the mere possession of monopoly power where it is the product of superior skill, foresight, or industry

United States v. Grinnell Corp. (1966).

A market share of ninety percent "is enough to constitute a monopoly; it is doubtful whether sixty or sixty-four percent would be enough; and certainly thirty-three per cent is not.

United States v. Aluminum Co. of America (1945)

The 7800XT (263W) has over 100W higher TDP than the 2060 (160W). It ultimately comes down to what other components you have, but you will be pushing the ceiling on a 650W PSU with the 5800X (105W).

You are under the limit based on TDP, but during peak loads, may not have enough overhead to not reduce the life of your components. That said, if you have fewer than 4 DIMMs of RAM, and only M.2 SSD storage, you are probably fine.

Let’s round up and say 75W for Mobo, 32W for RAM, 10W for storage, and 5W for LEDs, you come out right at 500W. Add 20% for thermal overhead, and you’ve got 600W. Very close, but should barely be stable.

This assumes a reference GPU. An OC edition could easily blow this calculation, but do your own math.

Definitively, buy a kill-o-watt, fire up a CPU+GPU stress test, and measure power draw at the wall. Add 100-200W to account for the new card, and see if it exceeds 650W.

I was beyond disappointed to see this. I have limited time to fire up my PC at home, so was looking forward to being able to finally play this game, on mobile, during travel.

Who cares if the code is open source, or pre-training weights are released? Virtually every Masters in CS student in 2024 is building this from scratch. The differentiator is the training dataset, or at worst, the weights after fine tuning the model.

Okay, but how is it a trade violation?

Which is a trade violation for WTO members.

Curious to hear more about this. Are you saying subsidized products cannot be sold on the international market? Wouldn’t creative accounting solve this, e.g., buy saying that the subsidized portion is only available domestically, which reduces demand globally, thus lowering prices?

How diverse is your investment portfolio? How many different stocks and securities have you sold last year? Were these subject to short term or long term capital gains? Did you rebuy any of those, making the security subject to the wash rule?

If you have a family, a house, multiple W-2s, 1099s, a retirement account, and a 529, things are still pretty “simple”. TurboTax does not let you use their free file if you’ve traded stocks, but for most other products, even some low volume trading in a brokerage account is considered fairly standard.

At the end of the day, it comes down to how organized you are, and how much time it will take you to do data entry. Usually, your tax documents have clear headers, and usually, these match up to the fields in the tax application. But not always, and the more documents you have, the more hours it will take, and the more likely you are to run into a speed bump that will cause frustration.

So, how much is your time worth to you? If it’s worth more to you than the cost of a tax professional, it’s an easy decision.

That’s not true; the oligarchs control the present, and none of this negatively impacts them in any way. In fact, quite the opposite.

Sorry if I’m about 10 years behind Linux development, but how does Docker compare with the latest FlatPak trend in application distribution? How you have described it sounds somewhat similar, outside of also getting segmented access to data and networks.
