JMP.chat is the correct answer, I set up a Canadian number for a friend to use for SMS + calls. Message me if you need help.

If co-pilot remains active even if you don't have an NPU, and it consumes GPU/CPU resources and can't be disabled, and that results in say a 10% gaming performance downgrade compared to Linux (these are a lot of ifs), then I imagine desktop Linux would finally get a big bump in adoption, once all the 'serious gamers' start using it purely for performance benefits. We'll see how this plays out.

They seem safe enough to pass the EU’s safety standards, which are much higher than the US. Also this blanket “quality issues” argument without specific evidence is terrible. If we’re going off of quality in recent history, American manufacturing is down the toilet in terms of quality - just look at Boeing.

Not me but a good friend of mine met a girl and lied about his job. He was already working a decent job as a floor salesman while applying to be a flight attendant which paid more money. He told her he already had the position he was applying for, which he never got and it kept snowballing until he could no longer come clean without major consequences. For 6 months, he had to make up a fake flight schedule, fake work-related anecdotes, etc., Needless to say when he eventually came clean she ended things, and I suppose he learned a very strange but valuable lesson. It was pretty funny to me at least.

The US also effectively banned the entire Arab world from buying US GPU’s, I’ve run a business here for years that specialized in GPU compute at the datacenter level, and now we’re pretty much transitioning into a new line of business because of this genius policy, while existing customers in this region are also considering Huawei GPU’s as a possible replacement.

Is it just me, or is that foot rest backwards?

What an absolute farce of a “report” and an article

I knew someone once who had this, she didn’t know until she got an x-ray as an adult. The doctor called in their colleagues to take a look at the scan because he’d never seen a real-life case before. She had her heart on the right side of her chest, was pretty interesting.

Have you even looked at any of the examples in SA’s case?

Yes, thank you :) It’s just that after writing it down and reading it back to myself, I genuinely realized it wasn’t a big deal. Life is unfair, but paradoxically it’s also equally unfair to everyone, although it can seem that your life particularly sucks. Not to take away from the genuine tragedies some people are experiencing, but sometimes it seems just writing it down can help you resolve the magnitude of the issue to some degree, and make you grateful for the good things in your life. This whole thread has been great self-therapy. Much love to everyone here.
