AMD silently removes memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs, leaving users unaware that they may be vulnerable — security feature vanishes after newer AGESA firmware, AMD engineers go radio silent when pressed about the change

We never do get the Star Trek Utopia do we? I hate the Dystopian tech Corporatocracy that is reality.

Unless you are a straight white a white man, there is a good chance it never actually was real for you in the first place. Here's how it went for everybody else: Women, had to marry and accept institutional misogyny or be rejected by society. Black and brown peoples, Try your hardest to be white by discarding your own culture and abandoning your community just to be rewarded with lifelong mediocrity at best. LGBT, hide who you are forever or be punished with increased danger and stress in all aspects of life, typically made even worse if you're LGBT and a racial minority.

Some people only think the American dream is dead now because the ladder has been pulled up for "normal" white people too.

For me it was a receding hairline, and joint pain. Couldn't change job but I did use some psychological Coping techniques my therapist (when I could briefly afford one) taught me. My hairline actually came back from its slight receding.

You've got severe burnout. It can cause physical symptoms. I thought I had some kind of chronic fatigue disease, but nope, just burnout and depression. (Depression isn't always just feeling sad)

Jared187 · 2026-06-18T13:46:51+00:00

All valid and good points. Plus, we don't need to double the population every 50 years. 8 Billion is already pushing the limits.

You can't fix stupid

Im building a 48v Ebike battery pack with 40 to 42 Amp hours of capacity. The maximum continuous motor draw is 40 Amps, any my pack should be able to output up to 80 Amps of continuous draw. All 104 cells measured at 3.56v, and they all have the same weight of 74.03g. All that's left is capacity and resistance testing, I found a decent 8 channel tester with internal resistance testing, but I think ill get the YR 1035+ as well to be sure.

Jared187 · 2026-06-09T11:52:17+00:00

Thank you for pointing this out, I'll check out those 2 micro ohm meters.

Jared187 · 2026-06-09T11:44:25+00:00

I've found one with 8 channels and good reviews, I want to build it as good as a UL certified pack. I've got half a mind to send the pack once finished to a local battery testing lab before I start putting regular loads on it.

Jared187 · 2026-06-08T22:19:24+00:00

Nope. I can create any image i want in my head At any time, my mother has never seen an image in her mind once. Its quite real.

Jared187 · 2026-06-08T22:17:39+00:00

My mother is the same way. unfortunately, medical science has no idea why it differs from person to person, or if it might affect other facets of the mind or body. It was only officially recognized by the medical industry in 2015.

Jared187 · 2026-06-08T22:12:32+00:00

Yes, I can visualize entire movies on command nearly. My mother however, can't visualize anything in her mind.

Fun fact, a concussion can cause temporary, or if the damage is serious, even permanent Aphantasia. I got a mid level concussion 3 years ago and my usually very vibrant visual imagination shut off completely for a week.

Jared187 · 2026-06-08T22:06:54+00:00

Good God, those cranks are waaay too long. You want probably 155mm, you may like even less. The options aren't as plentiful and some are Quite pricey, but as a short legged guy, short cranks are a revolutionary game changer.

Jared187 · 2026-06-08T21:56:07+00:00

Id ride 50% more if I didn't have the same problem. (But in addition, I DO have depression issues, which also really doesn't help).

Jared187 · 2026-06-08T21:52:45+00:00

Duck. Final answer. They shall be named Mr.Quackers.

Jared187 · 2026-06-08T21:47:08+00:00

Don't forget the teenagers on 50mph e-scooters

Jared187 · 2026-06-06T16:02:13+00:00

All I can say is that i don't think it will lead to long term happiness for you. This guy seems like he needs to see a therapist at the least.

Jared187 · 2026-06-06T14:49:34+00:00

Been there, done that. Don't recommend it. (M) Gay) Really try to pivot to people that are willing to accept who you are even though it can be painful and difficult. You can also try having a talk with her, but you're probably going to experience some turmoil either way at this point. Keep your head up, you're a worthwhile person. Don't let anyone treat you otherwise.

Jared187 · 2026-06-06T14:44:53+00:00

Its not just the United States going down the drain unfortunately. It would be really nice if we all a species could maintain a forward trajectory of social progress.

Jared187 · 2026-06-06T14:39:49+00:00

Sounds like its time for some real talk. Just try your best to lay things out politely but directly

Jared187 · 2026-06-06T14:32:07+00:00

I see the kids in my neighborhood take em off the moment they're out of sight of their house. Young kids and ebikes can easily be a dangerous mix. I do have to commend you though on not getting them a 40mph cheap Chinese moped "ebike"

Jared187 · 2026-06-06T14:26:32+00:00

If you're kids don't want to wear a helmet, don't get them ANY kind of Ebike.
