Right. By their argument it seems like China can get fucked because what are they gonna do, kidnap him and bring him to China to face charges?

They’re called oven fries because they were cooked in the general vicinity of the oven.

From the context it is clear what you mean.

Right, and this is just waking to run updates or whatever. Imagine what running a local LLM in the same conditions might do.

best case scenario you spew a bunch of toxic shit into the already stressed atmosphere.

kek. okay tell that to all the electric vehicle owners who’ve burned to death in random car fires cause by their batteries igniting themselves. also maybe educate yourself a little and read the underwriters lab article I posted.

They do, but It’s sort of like what happens when you take a hot steak off the pan. The extrernal heat source is removed, but the steak has enough internal heat to continue cooking for a bit while it rests. Your laptop might shut down, but the whole thing being in a backpack would act as an insulator and allow it to continue heating.

“Fires on airplanes” is, in general, a BAD THING.

I was thinking more about the batteries. It’s probably not as big of a deal with such small batteries, but lithium ion batts can enter an “uncontrollable, self-heating state” called thermal runaway. https://ul.org/research-updates/what-is-thermal-runaway/

I mean… I’m almost glad they haven’t figured out the power settings. Imagine if they were all running around with the lids closed and the laptops stuffed into a backpack? It would be a fire waiting to happen.

I agree, it’s looking fantastic so far. Dual-stick controls is so much nicer than the weird c-stick for first person thing. BTW do you know if there’s a way to get the shader version of the texture pack working? I assume there isn’t but thought I’d ask.

It’s the exposure, which leads to more ad revenue (in theory, without adblockers). YouTube creators live or die based on the algorithm and two of the main things the algorithm looks at is frequency of posting and engagement. Since Google needs metrics to give advertisers some idea of revenue potential, someone liking your video isn’t nearly as valuable to the algorithm as someone liking, commenting and subscribing (if not already subscribed obvi). As an example, ElectroBOOM just started making shorts of all his old content because he’s in the middle of a big house move and doesnt have time to make regular content which he noticed led the algo to stop recommending his content as much. But as far as just making a junk account and liking every video Google has systems in place to ignore “stale” accounts that don’t actually watch the videos. Ultimately what they want is viewers since eyeballs equals ads equals revenue and everything else is just a way of predicting future views.

It looks like the article was updated so I have no clue where the statement came from anymore.

edit Am I on drugs or did the article get updated? The section about charges is completely gone so maybe the below statement isn’t true.

Look I’m as anti-ICE as the rest of you, but did anyone read the charges? OP conveniently left out of their summary that these workers were arrested and deported as part of a child sexual exploitation material bust.

Cats get to decide when their bones are solid or not.

Something that I think helps it stand out is that it doesn’t rely nearly as much on “marvel style” humor. There are some funny moments but they’re more character driven you know? Like when K-2 slaps Cassian to sell the idea to the Imperials that K-2 is in charge.

Vocabulary vs reading comprehension.

well-intentioned “elites” … come up with solutions for stuff that would work in their bubble, but are a complete disaster when applied to the general public
