  • Students borrowing from the federal government this fall will face the highest interest rate in more than a decade

    Jump

  • Almost like when the fed rate is high, ALL borrowing rates are high... Look at that.

    Students, mortgages, auto loans, and the big vampire one of credit card APR rates are going up up up.

  • There’s another Chinese electric vehicle threat: Buses

    Jump

  • The US uses the word threat to be anyone that can do something better than they can.

  • Biden announces 100% tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles

  • How can anyone see this and not see that the US is a manipulative shithole country? Champion of the free world markets except when they aren't winning, then closed market manipulation and government interference.

    The US hasn't been ahead for many years and they can't innovate. So now they just want to keep out actual progress.

  • you don't need more 4GB of RAM

  • It cost about a tenth of its weight in gold... So I guess that's a deal?

  • Always follow 3-2-1 backup rule

    Jump

  • Absolutely.

    But something tells me they will at most get a recognition award printed from MSWord and a pizza party day at their local office.

  • US woman charged with concealing bleach in husband’s coffee avoids jail

    Jump

  • If she was a he, he'd be locked up without a key already. Pure sexism.

  • Dell 7740 Workstation laptop. Has a Xeon processor and a 16GB Quadro video card as well. 5 M2 slots so I currently have 36TB of SSD as well. 4k screen, physical privacy shutter camera, actual buttons for the trackpad. I love this thing.

  • Current 4 year old laptop with 128GB of ECC RAM is wonderful and is used all the time with simulations, LLMs, ML modelling, and the real heavy lifter, Google Chrome.

  • US revokes licences for sales of some chips to China's Huawei

    Jump

  • Got to love that "free" market. The US is such a shitty joke.

  • Scarecrow

  • Surely you printed this out from your desktop computer and mailed it to him in the post.

  • What did you get told as a child that you realised was a lie as you got older?

    Jump

  • It does exist. But it's 99% ACAB.

    One of the countries I spend a lot of time, the police are amazing. There is no crime, so the police truly are just to assist. They don't carry weapons. They don't give out traffic tickets, it's all automated. They do give out directions, photo ops, perform ritual ceremonies, distribute free meals to anyone who wants one, give free workout sessions on the beach, give free sports training, lead free expeditions into nature, etc. It's a sense of community spirit that is their mission.

    I'm sure there is a bad apple somewhere but every single one I've seen or interacted with has been pleasant to wonderful. I'm not even terrified to approach them as I am in the USA where I've almost been murdered twice by pigs.

  • Blinken blames social media for disrupting Israel’s narrative of war in Gaza

    Jump

  • Oh no, social media helps counter the American propaganda... Anyways.

  • JPMorgan says its Russia assets may be seized after lawsuits in Russia, US

    Jump

  • Then nobody would do business with the US.

    This is why BRICS is so important. Get the stupid Americans out of the world finance systems.

  • How do you build complex shapes?

    Jump

  • You use a real CAD program. The free tools can get you pretty far and are great for basic stuff. But as you're learning, once it's not basic, it's not a problem for a free shitty tool to solve.

    It becomes a problem for a very expensive shitty tool to solve, like Solidworks.

    Designing those things that slide into each other and everything on non perpendicular planes is child's play in SolidWorks. The slide in feature assuming they are mates is basically 3 button clicks and 10 seconds. Bam, done. Weird angles and planes, super easy.

    You pay dearly for such ease. But that's how it's done. If you can't afford a trial or a student copy or a used copy, then there are ways. But a SolidWorks DVD from 15 years ago will do everything you want it to. CAD doesn't change much. And if you don't need super fancy 3D photo realistic renderings and the ability to import PCBs and thermodynamic simulations, than a 15 year old almost free copy of a powerful tool will beat any modern free tool.

  • Wisconsin school district says active shooter 'neutralized' outside middle school, lockdown ordered

    Jump

  • Or to make a headline that isn't Murican: Police murder schoolchild who hadn't committed any crime yet, and were too chicken shit to de-escalate the situation and save the child's life.

    Last I checked, that kid had 2nd amendment rights to walk around strapped with as many guns as he wanted.

  • To fend off tourists, a town in Japan is building a big screen blocking the view of Mount Fuji

    Jump

  • Time to make a specialized 10 story extendable bus for tourists that drives slowly by above the new fence line.

  • Motherboard makers apparently to blame for high-end Intel Core i9 CPU failures | Ars Technica

    Jump

  • Oh but you are. It's at 0.8v to 1.2v range so it's high current.

    This is what all the VRM design is for. The motherboards are generally 20-30 layers nowadays with 2oz copper in the power layers. The traces are short and you do get hundreds of amps.

    And yes, I've designed them on the silicon side.

  • Not happening, dude

    Jump

  • This is an acceptable excuse in 1902.

    In the age of Google and where even the homeless bum down by the river has a smart phone, Googling to find out about a major life choice is easy to do. Failure to help yourself do nothing but use a phone for 10 minutes deserves zero empathy.
