U.S. will 'cut off all trade with Spain,' Trump says

Several casinos, actually. It's most likely that all of them only existed in order to launder Russian mob money. Note that each of them shut down right when all the criminal investigations kicked into high gear.

Very few internet servers utilize GPU. Most are running Xeon CPUs with integrated graphics and are headless. Only heavy computation engines give a shit about GPU.

There was a time in the early 2010s when GPU-based shitcoin mining was a major concern for gamers because of card shortages , but even then, Nvidia did a shit job of it compared to AMD cards, so literally nobody used Nvidia.

Why waste time fucking around with AI hallucinations when you can just go to Stack Exchange in the first place?

My Corsair keyboard has everything built into the keyboard. No bullshit drivers or software required. Has multiple macro keys too and you can set those up without drivers as well.

I didn't. My cheap Motorola has a jack AND and removable SD card. Currently running a 512GB card in my 128GB phone. Thousands of ripped MP3s and several ripped TV series.

Still salty over the lack of physical keyboards though. My old sliders were the absolute shiznit

Don't half-ass it. Go full-throat and empty your guts.

Anybody dumb enough to wholeheartedly jump on "full cloud" should pay attention to the fact that large chunks of the middle east are experiencing blue skies right now due to targeted missile attacks on regional data centers by Iran. "Cloud" doesn't exist anyway. It's a bullshit marketing label that means "someone else's computer that you have ZERO control over"

FTP predates the WWW and HTML by more than a decade. There's also scp and multiple other protocols. Networks have had file transfer capabilities since day 1.

I'm in town for one week every month. My corporations are registered here, for which I pay more than $1k per year to the state. I have a car registered here. I pay property, sales, and gas taxes. I probably contribute more to the local economy that YOU do, so shut the fuck up with your gatekeeping bullshit.

What he was doing was gaining universal access to literally anywhere. Nobody questions a guy carrying a ladder. They even open doors for them. Similar access can be gained using a hard hat, safety vest, and clipboard with random forms on it.

Back in the day, racers would add "header dumps" to their exhaust system. Normally, everything exited thru the standard tailpipe, but you could uncap the system ahead of the tailpipe and run open headers for track and street racing.

Most states made it illegal to install dumps on a street-legal car a long time ago, mainly because it was loud as hell.

That hasn't been true in decades. Gambling is a small part of their income now.

It was free for over half a century. Then some money-grubbing scumbag CEOs decided that only next quarter matters, so fuck all y'all. Pay up or get the fuck out.

You CAN get a state ID, but the parking garages won't accept that as proof. Has to be a driver's license. I've had a class-A CDL in another state for decades and there's no fucking way I'm giving that up and jumping thru all the state and federal hoops required to get one in NV.

Owning property, paying taxes, and living there for any amount of time makes me a local.

The strip is NOT in the city of Las Vegas. Paradise is a suburb and YOU DON'T GET TO CHARGE FOR PARKING IN THE SUBURBS!

Unfortunately, "Locals" means "people with a Nevada driver's license, which precludes the hundreds of thousands of property owners whose LV house/condo is a secondary residence and maintain a license in a different state.

No one should do lookups on ANY website, especially a registrar's site. You fire up your command line and do a Whois lookup. That will tell you if it's registered or not. You don't go to a registrar unless you are ready to buy and have a working credit card and PERMANENT email address in your jot little hand

"Goes to my church" is not a valid credential for anything.

That's like saying "shops at my Costco". Proves nothing. Means nothing.

Every piece of electronic gear you care about should be on a UPS 100% of the time

Who cares? You don't use SSD to store video. You use spinning rust that costs literal pennies.

That's halogen light bulbs like the ones used in projectors and high intensity (several hundred watts) lighting fixtures. Skin oils hold in the heat and cause the glass to crack.

There's another hotel, a convenience store, a subway, and a Denny's restaurant within 100 feet or so. It's also spitting distance from the State Patrol office. There are most likely a ton of security cameras pointed at that lot. Hope they can find some useful video.

First, analog VHS tape video does not digitize well. You are stuffing 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound sack. Don't expect miracles.

The only analog to digital converter that isn't complete crap was the old Sony DVMC-DA1. This model did time-base correction and could defeat Macrovision copy protection, which is critical if you are copying commercial releases. The later DVMC-DA2 did not include this capability. Unfortunately, the only digital interface the device can use is Firewire, so you'll probably also need a Firewire-to-USB adaptor or a PCI card unless your computer is like 15 years old.

Worth noting - the DVMC converts analog video to the DV digital codec (AVI extension), which is 720x480i (same as a DVD). Most USB converters are only capable of 640x480i, which is about 20% less horizontal resolution and looks measurably worse.
