It’d work nicely as a pure accelerator for an actual GPU though, with the right firmware.

Almost back to the 3DFX pass-through days again… 😁

“Fast” doesn’t just refer to the download speed, it also refers to the latency.

By any competent gamer’s standards, WiFi is slow. Starlink is untenable.

One “special” mind to another, a head for facts doesn’t preclude you from being wrong and/or needlessly pedantic.

It’s true, ambulatory bag of syphilitic pus and septic tank runoff is harder to say in conversation. Leaves less to the imagination in terms of my opinion of it though.

It will lock the US into permanent, irrevocable decline. Up to now it’s technically been a nose-dive that could have been pulled out of.

This will absolutely seal the deal, permanently. From the massively increased costs of everything, to the future political (and financial) costs of being the last massive polluter left when everyone else pivots to cheaper renewables less dependent on oil cartels and proxy wars.

It’s the theftbot manufacturers trying to have excuses in the public perception for why all their claims about their product don’t ever happen.

“We had to slow down for safety. All those things we promised are coming, just one more round of funding bro.”

Still, this post is outdated bullshit.

One could argue that the fine is merely the cost of doing business given the way it’s structured and what it actually costs the company.

ie. That fine should arguably be significantly higher to have any substantial effect on the company’s behaviour.

Paid over ten years.

Merely the cost of doing business.

Except it’s being sold as the second coming of Jesus Christ that will suck your genitals while doing the jobs of ten of your subordinates at a fraction of the cost.

Given that the spending phase of the bubble is still in full swing, the only possible outcome of this absolute shitshower is a serious economic crash that will eventually flatline entire countries because of just how wide and how deep the pool of “investors” (read: over-leveraged, entitled gamblers playing with other people’s money) ultimately is.

No, not all of them, you’re right. They’re now just another thing only the rich have access to.

I wouldn’t even know where to start, being a poor.

Actually bananas used to taste kinda like what banana flavouring tastes like.

But they all died, so now we have another monoculture variety, because they learned fucking nothing the first time.

Edit: The “old” banana

See, I went through a phase of absolutely loving banana flavoured milk. I realised at the time that it made my pee vivid yellow, from the Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) they used to colour the product.

Now, I never got a chance to test it, but I wanted to have to have a blood sample taken, to see if my blood was bright orange if I drank enough banana milk.

I know, I know. Dumb as fuck, but I thought it’d be a laugh.

And a lot of heat. If I had to guess, I’d bet on that being a… “rather energetic” exothermic reaction.

I suspect Musk is trying to ensure his satellites are up before anyone else’s, so when the inevitable legislation is enacted to control who launches what, he already “owns” the lion’s share of “orbital real estate”.

People don’t buy what they want to buy, they buy what the constant barrage of advertising tells them to buy. Starting with those most susceptible, then peer pressure gets added to the adverts, add in government lobbying and a list of other underhanded tricks, and bosh, job done.

E-cigs, wank tanks, social media, “designer products”, the list goes on.

Biased how?

Nope. Leaving that one alone. Not today.

Totally not a bubble, honest guv!
