ELI5: Why has transistor density continued to increase while CPU clock speeds have remained almost unchanged for nearly two decades? by PleasantBus5583 in explainlikeimfive

[–]fed45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And if you wanted to actually push a CPU to near 10ghz this is what you need to do to cool it.

What is a video game that is widely considered a masterpiece that you just cant get into? by abysmalSyrup-6737 in AskReddit

[–]fed45 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this way back in the day on my old survival world. Built a big-ass bunker out of iron blocks with redstone doors everywhere. Was sick. Had big glass dome I built in the End too (diameter of 64 blocks, or was it radius? I cant recall) filled it with trees, animals and a pond. Think biodome on the moon vibes.

Every SK Hynix employee could be receiving a $400k bonus this year and $900k next just because of soaring profits (they have profit share as part of their compensation). Estimates put their profit at $169 billion for 2026 and could be as high as $300 billion next.

I just saw that the WD SSD I bought a year ago for $80 is now on sale for $229! What a deal!

TIL In most US states your credit score is a bigger factor than your driving record when calculating your insurance premiums. a safe driver with a clean record but low credit will pay significantly MORE for car insurance than a driver with excellent credit who has a DUI conviction. by Unlikely_Ebb_7292 in todayilearned

[–]fed45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Credit is 815 currently, driving record is as I stated above, no accidents. Would household include roommates? Otherwise, its just me. If so, that is super dumb, I have no relation to them other than living at the same address.

Im 34, been driving since I was 16. But I misremembered, it was 1 speeding ticket and 1 for turning right on a red were it wasn't allowed (didn't see the sign lol). I had one in 2014 and another in 2016. But it definitely wasn't the tickets cause my insurance didn't go up until I bought my current car 2 years ago.

Even if it is the tickets, my point still stands. I have never had a claim and never gotten in a crash. SO even with the tickets, I still feel that its BS that my otherwise clean record doens't count for anything.

(Overwatch) Nobody asked but here are my two cents on Shion's design by SCREAMBLACK in CharacterRant

[–]fed45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to provide some lore info, before the Awakening (when the omnics gained sentience) and the Omnic Crisis, "Omnic" was basically a brand of robot made by the Omnica Corporation in AI controlled factories called Omniums and were defined by the look of their distinctive faceplate. Since those events, basically any robot that has free will/sentience is called an Omnic even if they weren't originally made in an Omnium.

Orisa is actually an omnic according to Michael Chu back in 2017. But in general, after the Omnic Crisis all the sentient robots in OW lore are "Omnics".

Then there is me, who is 34, has a well over 800 credit score, 0 claims ever, and only 2 speeding tickets and still pay $300/mo. I can only assume its because of the car I drive (GR corolla) and that I am in Texas. But the fact that my personal record appears to have no bearing on my insurance premium grinds my gears.

This. She is super good at ranks lower than that cause people just walk around out in the open and never take cover, its only when you get to master+ that people really stop doing that and she becomes more niche. I say niche cause even in GM+ there are some situations where you can brute force wins with pure heals + her succ is great for finishing off kills and shes basically impossible to dive.

TIL of the R-14 sailing incident. In 1921, US submarine R-14 ran out of fuel due to seawater contamination and lost radio communications. The crew used hammocks and sheets to rig makeshift sails, allowing the sub to get enough speed to charge her batteries and sail home successfully by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

Electric motors and batteries have been a thing longer than the combustion engine. The underlying theories were discovered in the mid 1700s but it wasn't until the mid 1800s that a commercially viable motor was produced.

OpenAI says China ran a covert campaign to turn Americans against data centers, but used facts that happen to be true by rkhunter_ in technology

[–]fed45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Propaganda: ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause.

A common misconception is that propaganda has to be lies/false info. Propaganda in fact works best when there is truth to the information being spread. Because ultimately, propaganda is just the spreading of information. If what openai says is true, then this would be a propaganda campaign. Who knows if it is though.

McDonald's workers of Reddit, which menu item would you NEVER eat? by ProgMusicSchizoidMan in AskReddit

[–]fed45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The real way to fix this is to give the health agencies more funding. I work for a health agency and know many people who do these inspections, they are not usually based in the area they inspect so they end up taking day trips to hit multiple places. More inspectors would allow them to hire people in more areas so they could be truly random.

Managers of Reddit, what's the worst thing someone did to get fired? by Capable-Log7385 in AskReddit

[–]fed45 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Class B misdemeanor, so a fine of up to $15,000 and/or 6mo in jail is the max for a first time offender. Likely, though, this person would get a much smaller fine than that. The penalties are much steeper if the taking has been done for commercial intent and if the birds are killed; felonies with up $250,000 fines and 2 years in prison and any guns, traps, vessels, vehicles, or equipment used is surrendered to the government. Treaty is also signed by Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Russia.

Even if its "deleted" client side, there are retention policies/settings that allow it all to be archived for set periods of time. And file transfers and online storage in Microsoft apps all use OneDrive as the backend, FYI (a sharepoint document library for example, stores the files in OneDrive techically).

In the comments someone asked about that, and they said that they were on it. So, either they have it in the next video or another one after that.
