I'm beautiful and tough like a diamond...or beef jerky in a ball gown.

  • How many other animals did they put through a sieve to reach this conclusion? How many?!

  • Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward?

  • Which begs the question why not magnets at the top of the building to help pull the electricity up?

  • Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward?

    Jump

  • Guess it depends on the height, but yeah. Otherwise, we manage to pump a town's worth of water to the top of a tower well enough. From there, gravity can do the rest.

    But there's probably a point where cost for that vs height becomes prohibitive.

  • If the costs of engineering a tower is more than just buying more land, then why build taller?

    Figured it'd be something like that. Explains why they get built out in the middle of nowhere since land is cheap.

    Jump

  • Tall data centers do exist in cities where land is expensive.

    Probably a bit of "hiding in plain sight" that way, too. There are a few big datacenters relatively near me, and they're massive compounds in the middle of even more massive corn fields. Kind of stick out like a sore thumb when you're driving by.

  • Frontier Communications IPv6 support

    Jump

  • Same boat. Declined their router and just use their ONT. Not that the router makes a difference, but my "wan6" interface has been waiting for an IP address for about the same amount of time as yours.

  • HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs

    Jump

  • Yeah. There's other precedent for that, too.

    With the original Xbox, you couldn't play DVD's without the infrared remote kit (even though the software and hardware was capable). The license fee for that was part of the cost of the IR receiver and remote kit.

    Didn't the original Raspberry Pi also sell codec licenses as well?

  • HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs

    Jump

  • Yeah, the licensing is BS but couldn't they just tack on like 40 cents to the price or whatever? For a $900+ machine, it wouldn't even be a rounding error.

    Open codecs are better, yeah, but artificially crippling existing media workflows is kind of a dick move, IMO.

  • Except driver's licenses. Those are far too easy to get, especially for some people lol.

  • Game library

    Jump

  • I have yet to play Skyrim with any mods even though I'd really like to. Only thing I have are the DLCs.

    Getting it to run under Wine has been challenging enough (though it's a lot easier these days) so I didn't want to even attempt to mix mods into it.

  • Game library

    Jump

  • I always start out with a random race, head in the opposite direction of Riverwood, eat everything I can pick up, and just start making and selling potions lol. Then I use the money to buy iron ore and start crafting daggers and selling those. Along the way, I may take a few side quests for extra cash. Then eventually buy or build a house.

    By the time I finally go to Riverwood to start the main game, I'm...a fully Daedric-clad stealth archer. Every time. lol. (I don't quite have the patience to level smithing to 100 for dragonbone, so I upgrade that along the way of the main quest).

  • Yeah, I don't know about pre-installed with Android that aren't ad platforms masquerading as consumer hardware. I'd never use one unless it was supported by LineageOS or something. My comment was more "roll your own" in nature.
