You might be right. It's hard to say how things are gonna be over the next few years tho. We may be in a severe recession if component prices have normalized.

Well there's your problem. Don't run, drink beer with friends, smoke socially and you'd happily get to retirement! 🤭
"Ontario is giving colleges and universities a multi-billion-dollar funding boost, while also lifting a seven-year tuition fee freeze in order to address severe financial strain."
The right direction as in increasing the funding for education institurions, which they have been starving for years with significant effects in those orgs. Right direction as in slowing the destruction of the system. Of course the way they did it was to fuck students - a shit solution. With that said, this is the better solution than slowly killing these institutions while keeping tuition low. Reason being that the students and their parents who are the bulk of the affected voters see lower prices while the degradation of the institutions isn't as obvious. This can go on for a long time hiding the damage. If however students and their parents see the higher prices, they may vote for a premier who runs on free tuition instead of Ford. We actually had a means-tested free tuition in Ontario for a little bit.
Inside a computer case showing a green motherboard with CPU socket, various colored cables (red, yellow, black), a hard drive, and metal casing components. The cooler has fallen off the CPU.
I think they were a clueless computer user so I just told them what the problem was and how we fixed it went over their head. But we laughed good with my colleague. Falling coolers were common on Intel boards at the time when the retention brackets used to be hooked with push-pins. Note this is the factory installed bracket on the board that's fallen. 😄 It's not a poorly installed cooler. This is prior to the user-installed push-pin design that came with the Core processors on the LGA sockets.
Pretty sure it's a P4 on a 478. 423 is significantly larger and the cooler retenrion clip goes directly on the socket. This socket has no retention protrusions. Instead there's a plastic bracket that the cooler is attached to, but the plastic bracket itself has fallen off the board. You can see it on the cooler itself in the other photo. 😄
Was a long time ago but I think the push pins weren't broken so they did reattach well enough for it to get the customer some more mileage out of it. After clean and repaste of course.
It's really unfortunate how naive we (us in tech) still are about the employer-employee relationship and how much leverage we got. The talent/merotocracy propaganda we've been showered with since The Great Recession can't wear off soon enough. Labour organizing in Big Tech can really grind the machine to a halt, given its dependence.
No, I've been GNOME peasant since Ubuntu switched to it from Unity. Now also using it on Debian. Some day when very bored, maybe in retirement I'll try Plasma again. 😆
Wisdom, 39, has aligned herself with some of the positions Mamdani has taken on countering antisemitism, including opposition to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, which considers most forms of anti-Zionism as antisemitic.
Brad Lander, a former New York City comptroller who is running for Congress and who has criticized Israel extensively, stated that Wisdom “is the perfect person for the job.”
A good move in the current context. The anti-zionism-is-anti-semitism zionists are already complaining about her. 🤭
Yeah, a single person/office would be better. That said I don't think he should ignore the material reality that he's mayor of a huge and very influential Jewish minority. Anti-zionism is growing, including in the Jewish community. His move would help that growth continue by shielding his admin a bit from fake antisemitism attacks. If he executes well on his other material agendas, there may not be a need for such shield by the next election.
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, told European newspapers this week that European preference should be focused on certain strategic sectors, such as clean technologies, chemicals, steel, automotive and defence “otherwise Europeans will be swept aside”. ...
No question. I feel like by this point the problems with free trade should be obvious to most economic managers. This is why I'm a bit shocked at some of their statements against Buy European. They sound like they're afraid making trade less free is a dangerous change.
Didn't do it for me and my wife either. It felt unfocused with different bits being self-consistent but disconnected from each other, like an LLM wrote it. There's a lot of filler too, or at least felt like filler. I haven't played the game. I'll probably watch the next season just to see if it connects the dots or whether it was all just sloppy. :D
