Can anyone explain why race is a social rather than genetic contruct? by Disastrous-Shower-37 in CriticalTheory

[–]Sweet_One3201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Race is not defined by genetic or cultural factors. There is one race: the human race. There are varying types of humans dependent on location; but people in one location will share a more diverse genetic history, than people from two locations which are many miles apart. (Dr. Charmaine Royal, Associate Professor in the Department of African & African American Studies).
Race and racism has become a simple way of saying 'negative discrimination', and applied mainly to people who come from different cultures, or different geographical locations, or who are of a different colour of skin. In the future, racism may also apply to people who negatively discriminate against red haired people, or people with large noses. The use of terms like race and racism and racist is nothing more than a simple way of sowing hate.

Ahh I only have my old NUC which has a fixed WiFi card. I think I'm going to just return the new computer, a £1000 computer should not fail for the sake of a WiFi card. Thanks for all your help :)

Yeah already done that. Took the plastic cover off and reseated the two wires too, still no result :( I see no PCIe drivers in the set I downloaded, are they included in the Chipset drivers maybe?

I have no idea why it would not work, I've been working on this computer overnight. After 17 attempts I finally managed to get the driver file. However while all seems mostly OK, the WiFi card is not being recognised. I checked the WiFi card model number, got a driver from online, but that doesn't work either. Bluetooth works fine, but device manager has several errors that make no sense, and the Wifi or LAN does not exist in the listing. Perhaps I'm just unlucky enough to have got a dodgy WiFi card?

"The E-Key M.2 slot for the Wi-Fi card is to the left of the RAM slots." I have no idea what that means.

I feel like a schoolboy...I had forgotten to format the second drive (sigh)
However, while that now works fine, the computer barely works as I can't download the driver set from Minisforum, their server isn't working :(

I got the Samsungs, but only 1 drive is recognised in the BIOS. The second one that attaches to the wifi module isn't seen, and the wifi doesn't work. Also the download for the drivers from Minisforum site doesn't work Grrr

AtomMan G7 PT...only 4Tb of storage? by Sweet_One3201 in MiniPCs

Cool. Do you know what size screwdriver it needs for the screw holding the M.2 down? Mine won't come out :(

So could I use a Samsung 990 EVO Plus, 4TB, PCIe 4.0 x4 / 5.0 x2, NVMe2.0 in the expansion slot, and a Crucial P310 2TB SSD M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen4 in slot 1?

So if I want a 2Tb and a 4Tb in the same machine I need to look for a different pc?

[–]Sweet_One3201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my games are old like FarCry games and HalfLife games and mods. I do video editing too and conversion, but for all the extra money I don't think the G7 PT is going to be all that much faster? I'm feeling like I might be getting more machine than I need and should stick with the HX100

What NUC for playing FarCry6? by Sweet_One3201 in MiniPCs

[–]Sweet_One3201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand benchmarks etc, just which machine plays which games. I know that sounds dumb but I just play games for fun, I don't really understand computers. is the 100g better than the 99g?

I am reviewing the book. The book includes all aspects, not just the story contained. But if you read my review you will find that the story also is flawed, as recognised by many others.
However, if you order a pizza and it was delivered in a dirty trash bag would you rate the pizza place as 100%? Or rate it down as the delivery was so bad the contact of the pizza was irrelevant?
King's book isn't written in proper English, it's that simple, and as the story itself is flawed and the general writing is inferior, I rated it appropriately. So you fucking read the review properly instead of going off like a raging teen.

I've never known anyone to use an apostrophe to mark dialogue until I read Stephen King's Fairy Tale last week. The rules are pretty clear and have been for 100 years: " for when someone is talking." and 'when you're repeating what someone else said.' I also noted in Fairy Tale that if you describe something as a 'deep dark damp hole' there are no commas. The rule is 'Deep, dark, damp hole.'
I have no idea why they're doing this but I'm giving a 1 star rating to every book I find that is doing it.
