HELL YEAH I got my music server working properly!! Really the biggest annoyance was getting a functional Navidrome client app for my phone. I'd like to go FOSS but none of them were really doing downloads properly so I'm using Symfonium which appears wonderfully functional so far, even has UPnP for the old speakers my dad gave me. Now I've just got to download my music onto my phone and find a good way to rip new music easily!

The source is this paywalled report, the headline of which notably doesn't go as far as the techpowerup one, though that might just be to bait people into buying access to the full report.

I know very little about fabrication itself, but it seems like the gist is it's impressive, but pretty expensive and pushing the limits of what's realistic with DUV. I wonder what the plan is if China still can't source (or develop) EUV tech soon?

Saw this mentioned in the news mega but was having trouble finding the original source, which appears to be this press release from Maine's DHHS

Suppose that following the resignation of a W-2 employee, the employer replaces them with an independent contractor. The contractor does the exact same work the W-2 employee was doing. Would this be a clear-cut case of employee misclassification? Is there any obvious caveat that would prevent it from being so? For the purposes of this hypothetical, assume it occurs in a state with fairly strong labor laws.

Thank you for participating in my thought experiment!

I know it's nonsensical but my immediate thought is disappointment at "number go down" on HYSAs and VBIL blob-no-thoughts

While everyone was focused on the BBB and its implications for student loans they just go ahead and do this.

Consider that there could be an all-powerful AI in the future that really hates existence, such that it would simulate a million versions of the people who created it and torture them for eternity. There's no way to know for sure that you're not one of those simulations right now!

Now that you know of Noko's Basilisk, you have no choice but to... not make the torture robot.

Bonus Expert Variation: Noko's Puppydog

The same thing, except the AI doesn't punish the people that made it, only gives the people who didn't a really cute puppy.

Instead of making laws like normal a judge from a hundred years ago gets to be the authority unless yet another judge decides to overrule them and become the new authority???

the only character action game I've played before is Metal Gear Rising but I dropped it because it wasn't meshing with me, I kept trying to play it like dark souls. I think I might have just spent too much time with souls and salad sorting games and now my brain is closed off to proficiency in other games

I know it's got an i5-4570 in it and that lines right up with my old GTX 970 I've held onto release date wise. Stick some DDR3, a new cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 for authenticity), and new thermal paste in there and you're pogging out in Splinter Cell: Blacklist or Assassin's Creed IV or whatever else we were playing in 2013

The best way to de-escalate a situation that could blow up into a regional war is... uh... Assassinating the leader of one of the main belligerents and then doing a ground invasion. Yes.

It's crazy how libs are championing this. /r/politics is calling it masterful 4-d chess, because apparently republicans have to either let the deal through and give Brandon a "win" or block it and give Brandon a talking point on how he's tough on immigration but the republicans aren't.

Bro THEY DON'T CARE. If republican hypocrisy had any negative impact on voters there wouldn't be any elected republicans left.

Love to have the most progressive president since FDR push draconian immigration policy in an attempt to play a game of gotcha with people who don't care in front of voters who don't care

The “Kubrick Stare" is one of Stanley Kubrick's most recognizable directorial techniques, a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that the character in question is at the peak of their derangement.

Oh the one hand: "kitchen fire" makes it sound like like an unserious stovetop mishap vs a fire that happened to manifest in the kitchen after a lightning strike. Pretty disingenuous but it's NYPost so not surprised

On the other: Whinging about how you nearly lost your classic sports car in a fire to people whose lives have been at worst destroyed or at best irrevocably altered is not a good look Brandon. Not doing much to beat the "out of touch Dem" allegations
