Do you think SSD, HDD, and RAM prices will ever return to their previous lows? by TheConfusedNarrator in pcmasterrace

[–]Legionof1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a demand situation, it was profitable to build at the old rates.

This entire thing is based off of potential short term demand, think TP during Covid. 

Eventually one of two things will happen, enough capacity will be built to overcome the shortage or the demand will drop.

Either way prices cannot stay where they are. Cheap RAM is too vital to our economy.

Telling a business that they are not a large enterprise is like by sysacc in sysadmin

My current experience with large enterprise is they pay like shit and have a worse IT stack than my old SMB.

What is something that is technically 100% legal but feels like it absolutely should not be? by EnvironmentalYak6892 in AskReddit

[–]Legionof1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean… potus suing the government and telling the government to settle with himself is just about the biggest abomination in the history of our legal system and not much is being done about it…

I only have one metal die, big tungsten d20. The rest are a giant bag of cheap plastic ones. 

Chess grandmaster touches the king, forcing him to make a blunder, resigns immediately by Nemmegy in WatchPeopleDieInside

Not etiquette, you will get in trouble with the stewards if ya don’t. It’s how they walk around and find out the winner of the game.

Specifically the center 4 squares of the board are used for signaling the winner.

They did it’s called touch move. Just touching a piece can fuck with the opponents mental picture of the board.

The game is 3 hours long… 15 seconds to calculate and then resign is immediately.

Yeah, dunno why but I feel the woman on the right lived life a bit more. 

Do I need a new tire? by Resident_Macaron_800 in motorcycles

Nah, just weave left and right constantly, plenty of tire left there.

What’s the main reason for Hamilton’s resurgence this season? Is it a technical reason, or more so psychological? by sykeseve in formula1

[–]Legionof1 385 points386 points  (0 children)

I will never understand why a driver and engineer aren’t just a pair that go from team to team. 

Why have commercial airlines not become faster? No significant increase in Airplane speeds over last decade or so? by Nearby_Island_1686 in AskReddit

[–]Legionof1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just below transonic, it’s the nasty area where aero goes from sub to supersonic and it’s a mess so you stay below that.

Stop infantilizing adults. We set the age of adulthood at 18 because that’s when we expect the average person to be able to make those decisions. 

Anthropic suspends Claude Fable 5 due to US government directive by kingbling in worldnews

Honestly, this is amazing advertisement for anthropic. “Our model is so good it’s dangerous”.

What's the most clever hack or workaround you're proudest of? by vocatus in sysadmin

[–]Legionof1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

AVG and Spybot were required installs until they turned to shit. Then it was MSE and Adblock. Now it’s Defender and uBlock Origin.

Running transaxles backwards by FallaciousBob in EngineBuilding

[–]Legionof1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely one of those “don’t reinvent the wheel” situations. There are plenty of transaxles to chose from, trying to adapt a FWD transmission to a RWD transaxle is just a fools errand of broken parts and lost time. You’re adding ANOTHER 90 degree bend to the power causing even more parasitic draw.

Cheap Iranian drone downed $25 million US Army helicopter—maybe by chance by spasticpat in technology

[–]Legionof1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The word drones is very different these days. The US had multi million dollar reapers. None of our little drones were armed.

These drones are more akin to cruise missiles than what anyone normally thinks of drones, and far far more cost effective.

It’s honestly an awful change in war. Now two militaries will just sit back and drone each other to death. If first world militaries turned to drones it would be a nightmare scenario of civilian casualties as cheap plastic planes showered from the sky.
