  • really silly proposal from 1920 in a Vienna pamphlet to create a european union, the divive the continent in 25 city cantons

    Jump

  • There's a serious argument to be made that a new regime should break existing lower-level government units. It would scramble entrenched power structures that might present opposition, and force regulatory and financial arbitrage players to rethink their current strategies.

    Now, the nuts and bolts of implementation...

  • My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get?

    Jump

  • I have a 7900X3D and the Peerless Assassin 120 worked well. I swapped for a Zalman CNPS20X because you could get it for next to nothing at the time; it's not much better (the RGB fans look neat but it's so big it doesn't fit well in some cases and the fans are prone to chattering noises at specific speeds)

    The benefit I can imagine for an AIO is that it reduces cramping around the CPU, so you can essily release RAM or the GPU slot clip. But I suspect VRM cooling suffers; some vendors made an add-on fan to compensare IIRC.

  • Report: Microsoft quietly kills official way to activate Windows 11/10 without internet

    Jump

  • Even with the internet "available" you can get in chicken-egg scenarios like "the network card is not supported on the OS disc, and it won't let me complete the OS installer so I can install the driver from external media later."

    Even Windows 10 got pretty testy about that in late releases.

  • Makes perfect sense

    Jump

  • If you could pull it off, cycling through schools every few decades probably is s viable way to keep up to date with broad advances in sciences and the arts, and get exposed to enough current culture to blend in more effectively.

    Although the opportunities to blow the masquerade are intense.

    You're nominally a 17 year old whose family relocated from Topeka for the labour market. You really should not be chastizing Mrs Finster's history class with your strong, intensely personal feelings about Martin van Buren.

  • China’s manufacturing sector enters second tier globally, on par with Germany and Japan

    Jump

  • I think it's a lack of brand anchoring.

    We don't get some of the best regarded Chinese brands in some Western countries- no Xiaomi or Huawei or BYD stuff, for example.

    It's harder to point the quality on a contract-manufactured product from a non-Chinese bran. You can mention that iPhones are generally well-made devices but people fixate on the "designed in California" aspect. Design doesn't fo the SMD soldering!

    Lenovo is probably the brand easiest to point to as an American. Thinkpads still have a rep of quality rven though IBM hasn't been involved in many years.

  • Hey folks the next hexbear official meetup of 2026 is going to happen in Naju, South Korea! We're all gonna get excommunicated together!

    Jump

  • I knew a guy in university who claimed descent from the Korean royal family. Wonder if we could stir up some Spider-man thing where they each call the other pretender to the throne.

    Absurd premise: maybe there's a case for a symbolic constitutional monarch who doesn't directly come from either side being useful in a unification scenario. They'd have a hard time with symbols and branding after 80 years of division, especially if they don't want to present it as a winners-and-losers thing. OTOH, if they want to lean into a futuristic image, maybe they can just create a vtuber head-of-state to read out big addresses and take softball questions from schoolchildren.

  • So whats the end goal of making all these treats so expensive

    Jump

  • It's full-scale quarterbrain. It all makes sense when you remember that every compsny's main product is its stock now. The fact that nVidia makes chips, or Palantir makes dystopia, is largely incidental.

    Bubble economics means they have to be 1000% into tulips because that's the only thing Wall Street is talking about now. The last capitalist who actually said "where do we get a consumer class to buy our products tomorrow" was shouted down as a blasphemer.

  • Grindr CEO Says App Will Be “AI-First” and “Not in the Business of Politics”

    Jump

  • It smells more like Facebook than Steam to me. they can print money for now because they have established scale and customer base, but it feels a bit slimy to where it might not be that appealing to new users. Dating services in general have a bad vibe-- bot problems, low quality matches, dark patterns, so authenticity is a big selling point, something AI drives a huge stake into.

    I'd expect that thr gay community, after decades of being a target for abuse, tends to be a bit more sensitive of red flags and looking for truly safe spaces. The Facebook comparison breaks down there, as it has 700 million Aunt Martha users whose most politically sensitive post is in defence of Miracle Whip on salads.

  • SODIMM-to-DIMM adapters offer a workaround for DDR5 price hikes

    Jump

  • I wonder if the next generation of memory will only have a SO-DIMM pinout so they don't have to split limited supply. Maybe larger "desktop or highend laptop" modules will be physically longer like 2230/2280/22110 SSDs

  • i wish this were incomprehensirule

  • I've heard that yaoi was more meant for the female audience, and bara for a male audience., but there are probably different interpretations.

  • I stuck my camera up the ass end of an ICBM

    Jump

  • There's a public museum in Southern Arizona with this type of missile.

    It was part of an arms-reduction treaty with the USSR. Both sides had to leave missiles out for satellites to confirm that they had been deactivated and could preserve a facility as a museum.

  • I've got to say, the slogan at the bottom isn't exactly snappy in English. Maybe it's better in Korean.

    I wonder if command economy propaganda has development problems because you don't have private sector marketing as a means to advance the state of the art.

  • mimi rule

    Jump

  • Standard compliance rules generally allow showing the first six and last four digits on a statement or receipt or whatever. That leaves 6 digits, and since you know it has to match the cksum, 1/100,000 odds on straight guess.

    You may be able to knock down two more digits if you know which bank and card type (debit, prepaid, etc) it is. The first 6 digits used to encapsulate that data but there's a transition to 8 now.

  • Bring back Program Manager!

    Customizability used to be a strong selling point for power users. I guess Microsoft has just ceded the entire category to Linux, because they're probably their lowest-cross-sell customers-- more likely to use LibreOffice, to buy their own backup storage solutions, to buy Steam games instead of Game Pass

  • It was a literal 100-level course project in my CS programme in 2000 or so.

    You didn't even do it with a programmed CPU, you used 74xx logic gates and counters wired on a breadboard
