Rekall is a company that provides memory implants of vacations, where a client can take a memory trip to a certain planet and be whoever they desire.
Even with the boom in enterprise GPU sales, one would think it’s shortsighted (in terms of risk management) to not try and strengthen their position in the consumer market.
The worst thing is that it doesn’t seem to be a hack and the solution pretty much work already.
I would imagine a Pi Zero is significantly more powerful than a 1999 desktop system.
Pi zero has a 1Ghz single core and 512 MB RAM. 1999 would be a P3, which started out from 500 MHz and I believe RAM was less 512 MB at that points.
And that’s just high level figures, that ignore faster RAM speed, massive improvements in IPC / CPU microarchitecture.
I would even speculate the hypothetical 3D capabilities of 1999 desktop could probably be simulated in software.
This is probably some organized pump and dump type scheme by key players.
He got greedy and complacent. He forgot that corruption/crime is far more risky if you try to steal from well connected oligarch gangs.
Running away to China would have been a far smarter move. That’s one place were American entities can’t reach you no matter what (I believe China didn’t do anything about local Fentanyl precursor suppliers until the issue became high level).
You’re welcome to discount what I am saying. To be honest, it sounds like you’ve made up your mind on this issue, even though you’re getting a lot of basic things wrong about market research and sanctions processes and corporate attitudes.
Can’t really help you on this one.
Congrats!
That’s really too bad, even without any technical knowledge of the code sharing system, it’s clear that this approach is done in bad faith.
I would much rather European companies ported their applications and services to a non-Google/non-ASOP platform. Having native e-government and applications would be a solid addition to make something like Sailfish OS more usable.
This is one area where European and Asian countries are way ahead of the US, things like e-govermernt (parts of Europe), simple and no/very low fee mobile payment systems (parts of Europe, India’s UPI system).
I am not trolling you. If what I said is a mere statement of personal opinion (and not tied to reality), then it should be simple for you to show why what I am saying is BS.
Instead you’re just going with “I am right! You’re wrong!” and you claim to not see the irony in that? Don’t buy it!
Come, on! I don’t believe you don’t see why I used the term “irony” in my post.
Sorry. I don’t buy it. You might disagree with what I am saying, but you almost certainly know why I thought your “I said so” and “statement of personal opinion” pieces are ironic.
I strongly disagree.
I explained my reasoning with some clear examples. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, I am not going to write a 2,000 word wall of text unless I am having an interesting conversation.
There’s no such thing as common sense. Its just a way for people to claim their ideals as the standard because “I said so.”
I wonder if you see the irony in this statement and how it was presented “I said so”. :)
I believe 8K is the limit for home use in terms of physiological perception.
IMO, HDR is a bigger differentiation that resolution in our current environment (i.e. 4K being the high end). It sucks that HDR formats and monitor specs are such a mess.
I wish there were two universal standardized formats / specification. A cheaper, lite version and a high end expensive one.
Another poster mentioned “That’s a very European mindset.” It’s not exclusively a European mindset, I’ve lived for several years in Asia and have visited multiple regions. This “mindset” is arguably common even among those who are not particularly religious.
National religious institutions provide a sense of belonging to the populace, help maintain our national identity and culture and help our national liberation struggle. Even as an atheist, these are clearly good things.
And there is no discrimination in terms of religious identity. I support our Orthodox Church, Catholic Church (which is actually much more diverse than in many countries) and the Crimean Muslim leadership.
One can argue this is not a mindset, but common sense and that American attitudes are a mindset.
From my time living in the US (several years, with extensive travels), I got the impression that America nominally has “separation of church and state”, but it in reality this separation does not exist. A significant portion of American Christianity (perhaps not the majority, but it is a huge portion, far more than most Americans would admit) is de facto an arm of the oligarch regime, focused on enabling tax fraud, spreading crime and corruption and running political bribery systems. And you can’t even shut them down because of the alleged “separation of church and state”. It’s funny how that works. :)
There is one anecdote that perfectly demonstrates what I am talking about:
And the cherry on top was a comment that I found when doing a web search to find the link above:
If churches opened their doors, they’d be subject to the same criminal and legal risk that any other private business would be responsible for. The world is not a perfect utopia, and churches have to protect themselves as much as anyone else. Why don’t you open your doors?
This is extremely funny. 🤣
Hahaha, I totally forgot about this, but the reference is almost scary in a way. Life imitating art and pretty fantastical elements of science fiction becoming reality.
What a weird world we live in.
I am an atheist (albeit I support our national churches/religious entities and believe they should be state financed) and it is fascinating that I agree with Leo XIV on an ethical, moral and even theological/spiritual level.
P.S. While I don’t believe in a meta-physical, abrahamic tradition-style god, I do think there is a lot of wonder, beauty and even sacredness (divinity) to the cosmos. Something along the lines of this quote from a book by Alan Watts:
The universe is the Big Bang, the beginning of the universe. And you’re not something that is a result of it. You’re not something that is a sort of byproduct of it. You are it. It’s like when you take a bottle of ink and you throw it at a white wall. Smash! And all the ink spreads out. In the middle, it’s dense, isn’t it? And as it gets out on the edge, the little droplets get finer and finer and make more complicated patterns.
So in the same way, there was a big bang at the beginning of things and it spread. And you and I, sitting here in this room, as complicated human beings, are the little fringes on the edge of that bang. We are the way it’s going now.
I believe I did try a install/reinstall.
I looked up the installer codes and it implied there was an access restriction, but I of course tried running the installer as admin and this didn’t help.
I wish there was Raspberry Pi style RISV-V SBC (with at least some level of ecosystem support).
This is one area where I personally can relatively easily move to RISC-V.
Am I the only who keeps getting errors when try to update the Windows version of Calibre.
It’s a cool application, not being able to upgrade is so annoying.
Does anyone even use crypto.com? The impression I get is that is that this area is dominated by other brands/platforms.
