Re: Documentation and code quality

"But not the toaster, never make the toaster smart."

Yes, we have all seen in Battle Star Galactica how that will end.

Oh, that awful commie CNN...

Re: We're all wise in retrospect

“only 4GB memory”

I recall when 4MB was a lot of memory. 1024 times less.

Re: Landfill Heirloom

"Apple said the Watch Sport would start at $349 in the US (which converts to about £230"

Those were the days!

Anyway, I don't think those paying that kind of money ($10k) really care. And the gold is easily recycled.

Re: Screw that I'm not doing it

A new definition of "free".

Re: Oh good

Oh, you drama queens!

Re: Comparing wax apples with silk poppies

“ While power saving wherever we can is important, I'd rather they start with dirty and inefficient ones like rail traffic, shipping and trucking, industrial processes and other problems that are the other 99% of energy used”

Much electricity is generated in a dirty way. You missed the bit about CO2?

Re: Programmers

“ Image a misfire at motorway speeds.”

I just did, and nothing much happened.

(Although I do agree with your expert opinions.)

Re: Another "Post-Roe" clickbait

“ Please stop using "Post-Roe" as clickbait”

Nvidia primarily make GPUs and chipsets. The actual cards are chiefly made by others, so Nvidia can't control the prices. On top of that retailers crank up the prices.

The good thing with the ANSI C library was that you could indeed be familiar with every detail.

I liked those simpler days.

Re: New cremation technique!

Surely Soylent Green would be the best solution?

Re: Really?

A "deadzone" is a technical term. Nothing to do with China's laws. And how will they enforce this anyway?

Re: Not aviation

Perhaps check with next of kin if “pilot error” feels just like blame was assigned?

Re: Too difficult

I’m mediocre, but would not have made this mistake.

I hope so, as that would make sense. Most people want to spend £75 to £150 for a good upgrade, but not replace mobo, RAM and the lot.

Re: Extra redundancy

"With that in mind it's good to load as high capacity as possible"

More important would be that it actually works for 50+ years. High clocked and small featured chips are unlikely to last very long.

Re: The Sad Refrain of poor Business Judgement...

"But thanks for subsidizing Dell computers in Murica"

The difference would have been raked in somewhere else, and most certainly not benefitted any children in USA.
