For smartphones they actually could, they could tie the lipo pack serial number to the imei and work everything out from there.
Then make sure it’s been unlocked via biometrics within a second or so.
It’s very rare that someone else holds a phone to be unlocked for you, though it does happen, still the closest to a targeted kill.
Those back-alley ‘marriages’ to 13-year-old “virgins” aren’t going to last.
Again, that’s why I’m concerned it’s the latter.
I would agree.
But I think it helps everyone’s cause more to simply ignore them utterly.
These worthless ‘hyper-masculine’ fascist trash, the worst thing you can do to them is show them how impotent they really are without even putting in effort.
Trump was humiliated at the debate, we just do the same to all these other Russian funded losers.
Ignore them, make it clear they’re nothing and nobody cares.
It burns them more than literally everything else, they’re spoiled children throwing a tantrum, let them.
The European Union on Wednesday began the process of clawing back hundreds of millions of euros in funds meant to go Hungary after its ant-migrant government refused to pay a huge fine for breaking the bloc’s asylum rules.
I’m pretty sure there are other things they aren’t doing, more fines seem in order.
In fact, keep fining them till their net contribution to the EU is 0.
Well, it can’t run multithreaded jobs at full speed.
Exhibit A: The latest AMD patch for multicore scheduling across NUMA.
Do the confederates next, they were back in power in 10 years and terrorizing black people with the KKK shortly after.
improvements to quality of life;
Native Americans: “Beg your pardon?”
I’m sorry, I can’t tell if you’re cleaning it or fucking it.
Meh, not nearly as configurable as linux, some things you can’t change.
NFS beats SMB into a cocked hat.
You start spending more time in a terminal on linux, because you’re not dealing with your machine, you’re always connecting to other machines with their resources to do things. Yeah a terminal on windows makes a difference, and I ran cygwin for a while, it’s still not clean.
Installing software sucks, either having to download or the few stuff that goes through a store. Not that building from source is much better, but most stuff comes from distro repos now.
Once I got lxc containers though, actually once I tried freebsd I lost my windows tolerance. Being able to construct a new effective “OS” with a few keystrokes is incredible, install progarms there, even graphical ones, no trace on your main system. There’s just no answer.
Also plasma is an awesome DE.
Same dictatorships that helped con England into giving up one of its largest advantages.
The French must be jealous of the Germans for having a word for feeling joy at the misfortune of others…
At some point this mess will have to be fixed. Well, I mean technically it doesn’t, but assuming there are adults around it just seems like some of them should clean up the dogshit on the floor.
Or are we waiting for it to smell more so we can rub the morons’ noses into it more? That makes sense too.
The titanic is unsinkable, now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to take a quick walk around the first class promenade deck, and perform a regular inspection of the life boats.
Let’s be fair, Ms was vastly outrunning Intel for a long time, it’s only slowed down recently, and now the problem isn’t single-thread bloat so much as it is an absolute lack of multicore scaling for almost all applications except some games, and even then windows fights as hard as it possibly can to stop you, like amd just proved yet again.
What’re we going to do tomorrow night, Couch-fucker?
The same thing we do every night, Stinky, try to destroy the world!
Somebody needs to check MTG’s eyes, lately she sounds like she was taken over by Mystique when nobody was looking.
Yes, mostly the applications aren’t there, if you need real cpu power (or gpu for that matter), you’re running linux or on the cloud.
But we are reaching a point where the desktop has to either be relegated to the level of embedded terminal (ie ugly tablet, before it’s dropped altogether), or make the leap to genuine compute tool, and I fear we’re going to see the former.
Single-thread is really hard, we’ve basically saturated our l1 working set size, adding more doesn’t help much. Trying to extend the vector length just makes physical design harder and that reduces clock speed. The predictors are pretty good, and Apple finally kicked everyone up the ass to increase OOO like they should have.
Also, software still kind of sucks. It’s better than it was, but we need to improve it, the bloat is just barely being handled by silicon gains.
Flash was the epochal change, maybe we have some new form of hybrid storage but that doesn’t seem likely right now, Apple might do it to cut costs while preserving performance, actually yeah I see them trying to have their cake and eat it too.
Otherwise I don’t know, we need a better way to deal with GPUs, there’s nothing else that can move the needle, except true heterogenous core clusters, but I haven’t been able to sell that to anyone so far, they all think it’s a great idea, that someone else should do.
Even beyond that, short of something like blender, Windows just can’t handle that kind of horsepower, it’s not designed for it and the UI bogs down fairly fast.
Linux, otoh, I find can eat as much CPU as you throw at it, but often many graphics applications start bogging down the X server for me.
So I have a windows machine with the best GPU but passable cpu and a decent workstation gpu with insane cpu power on linux.
