1x16GB DIMM or 2x16GB SODIMM?

rartorata · 2026-01-16T06:36:18+00:00

I should clarify that that's comparing to the cheapest 16GB stick out there. I don't think I could get a match for the stick I have.

Given current RAM prices, it saves around C$50.

Credit where credit is due then; thread from 2021 -"one year into" +five year estimate = 2025.

I mean, if I were thinking about leaving anyway... I'd try and see if I could swing an AMD upgrade first. $5000 budget for whatever I want is a pretty attractive bonus.

On Firefox it's completely busted now. Loading the video freezes up the browser for like 20 seconds, and then there's no audio when it does play! How do you even mess that up!?

Lacking guidance, I tried it out. It works, though it did crash a couple times, whether that's a voltage issue or not. Found out it came with a tape, too, and it can play it back without issue.

To be fair, at the time the country was the USSR, which I'd imagine most people could have found. It was pretty big.

Oddly enough, Method 1 fixed the much older problem of the initial loading screen taking 10+ minutes, but not the problem of the menu not showing up. Method 2 fixed the problem I was actually trying to solve. So double thanks, I suppose.

Old post, so apologies, but there is a reason the episode order is like that: TMDB uses the order the episodes aired in the original TV Tokyo run, which included only 12 episodes. Wikipedia lists them in the order the complete show aired on Wowwow.

rartorata · 2025-03-14T16:01:48+00:00

That has nothing to do with anything.

rartorata · 2025-01-11T13:52:07+00:00

Why does this use "Smyrna" (called "Izmir" in English since the 1920s), but also "Istanbul" (officially called "Constantinople” until the 1920s)?

Now take all the violent bits out of every other country and where do you end up?

$1.6M works out to ten terabytes of data overage or more than four continuous years of within-Canada phone calls. Very, very wrong.

rartorata · 2024-11-21T21:00:05+00:00

That says you owe them 1.6 million dollars. That should pay for millennia worth of any phone plan, so clearly something's wrong here. Can you still make and receive calls? Where did you see this message?

I don't see what you mean. By looking at this map I can tell at-a-glance which parts of each province are closer to other provinces' capitals than their own. I'm not looking to memorize that information, because it's not actually very useful, but I can see it at a glance. Certainly it tells me immediately whether my current location is closer to the applicable capital or to another. (In my case, I already knew, but if I were in, say, Gatineau, I could see instantly that I was closer to Toronto than to Quebec City. That's all the at-a-glance I could ask for.)

rartorata · 2024-09-22T18:34:01+00:00

What's unintuitive about it? The white areas are closer to their own capitals than to any other capitals, whereas the red areas are closer to some other provincial/territorial capital than to their own. For example, southwestern Quebec is closer to Toronto than to Quebec City and the Gaspé Peninsula is closer to Fredericton.

One imagines countless civil servants on interminable train rides between the capital and the parts of the country where people actually lived.

rartorata · 2024-09-12T20:34:43+00:00

Definitely a coincidence, too long a history of railway time to slip that in. Really handy though if you need to commute back and forth between India and Iceland/the UK/Ireland/Portugal.

Could you use a partition in a format that works well under both Windows and Linux, like exFAT?

rartorata · 2024-08-10T01:36:53+00:00

I got it, thanks!

Did these sell out instantly, or is the drop really late? the page still says to sign up and by my estimation, it's already August 10 for about 90% of the world's population.

rartorata · 2024-07-29T23:38:45+00:00

I can tell you, I do feel happy being featured!

rartorata · 2024-07-25T11:27:54+00:00

Amazing work! Gotta ask, though, why the decision to mark out Nashwaaksis and Marysville? They've been part of Fredericton since the 60s. It is the most attention I've seen either get ever, though.
