Interesting that the toilet bowl is called 馬桶 in Chinese. That first character is the character for horse… anyone know why?

Trump is the shit version of Xi Jinping (literally).

Technology@lemmy.world•Jensen Huang: Israel has become Nvidia’s second homeEnglish
11·4 months agoNo one mentioned smart = decent. But you can’t also assume Israeli = bad. Not everyone in Israel supports its government’s actions.
Imagine people elsewhere in the world assuming any random American = Nazi.

26·4 months agoThe point is that’s why Nvidia is setting up shop there. You know… the original story of this thread…
Anyway, one of the Nazi’s downfall was they kept designing better and better tanks, and that ultimately required more resources to build. While the US just basically kept spamming them with simple design tanks that doesn’t require as much to build.

67·4 months agoNot defending Jensen or Israel, but want to point out that Israel has many good engineers - the Intel team that designed the Core/Core Duo/Core Quad and saved Intel from the Netburst (Pentium 4) architecture was from Israel.
They have smart people, but I definitely do not agree with their government’s actions.

114·4 months agoShows the importance of having a proper primary process. Biden fucked up and dropped out of the race way too late for any democratic candidate to have time to build up hype and momentum. Just being the VP shouldn’t make one an automatic default candidate. Harris did pretty bad during the Primary back in 2020, she just was not popular and didn’t inspire enough people to go vote.

Technology@lemmy.world•RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!English
2·4 months agoYep, it works fine for my day to day stuff. And runs many games just fine. I still run my Ivy Bridge Xeon CPU (bought for cheap years ago). Pair a X79 chipset, Xeon with quad channel memory, and say an Arc A770. You can do many modern tasks and games just fine. And for cheap.
