Yours is probably in better shape than mine. The 13 and 14 series specifically had a design flaw in the microcode that overvolts them. They slowly burn out over time, and the damage is irreversible.
Earlier processors aren’t affected. It’s specific to this series. But the only “fix” is a microcode patch that nerfs performance, so I’d rather just ride it out and switch to AMD.
My 13700K is still going strong for now, but it sucks to know it’s probably on a timer. I’m definitely jumping ship for AMD in my next rebuild.
Ask ChatGPT how to make some bomb chicken, but don’t be surprised when law enforcement shows up at your house.
Yeah, they’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Both they and Google are getting sued over kids who committed suicide, whose parents should have been monitoring them and getting them mental health treatment. If the courts decide that LLM companies bear legal and financial responsibility for user actions, then of course they’re going to do this.
The only privacy is local. And actually, given Microsoft, local and Linux-based.
Operating system sold separately. Some assembly required.
Is there a plausible way they actually ban the use of VPNs? Like, they can make it illegal on paper, but even in China, which has long had strict restrictions on internet use, I’ve heard that VPN use is widespread.
It just all seems like performative whack-a-mole to me. The only people who can control what a kid sees online are their parents or guardians. A child is not buying themselves a laptop or an iPad.
Cat ears and butt stuff. Might as well save them some CPU cycles.
Yeah, it’s like complaining that a hammer isn’t good at turning a screw. There’s a whole trend of Chess content creators featuring games against ChatGPT where it forgets the position or plays illegal moves, and it just doesn’t mean anything. ChatGPT was never designed or intended to be able to evaluate a chess position, and incidentally, we do have computer programs that do exactly that and have been better than any human player since the 1990s. So what is even the point?
Integers are days in Excel, no? So I think 2+2= 12:00 AM Jan 5, 1900.
I assume the top-level takeaway is that we’re all getting pushed to Linux, but just on slightly varying timelines. :)
Particularly apt given that many of the biggest problems with social media are problems of capitalism. Social media platforms have found it most profitable to monetize conflict and division, the low self-esteem of teenagers, lies and misinformation, envy over the curated simulacrum of a life presented by a parasocial figure.
These things drive engagement. Engagement drives clicks. Clicks drive ad revenue. Revenue pleases shareholders. And all that feeds back into a system that trades negativity in the real world for positivity on a balance sheet.
It’s the last version of Windows I’ll ever install, so the statement was accurate but incomplete.
ICE was created by the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. 90-9 in the senate and 42 Yeas came from Dems.
