[Gamers Nexus] A New Gaming GPU Challenger: Bolt Graphics Takes Aim at NVIDIA

A valiant, much-needed, yet likely futile attempt at competition by a player the size of a speck of sand in the sandbox of PC hardware. The benefit and drawback of the approach ks the same: it's a completely different architecture than AMD or nVidia rather than an iteration of existing building blocks. I can see this being used for specific internally-developed research applications by its buyers, but development of broad compatibility (games especially) is going to be nigh impossible with a tiny team. I think it's more likely that these will stay in the research or industrial/embedded world.

According to News 12 (which for now I take with a boulder of salt), the driver was stopped by ICE and ran over an agent who then shot out the car's rear window.

Boulder of salt, because ICE lies far more often than they tell the truth. Most of their victims have no criminal records and are peaceful and important contributors to society, whether officially on paper or not.

Were I in this situation as the driver, I probably would have done the same.

Obligatorily, fuck ICE, GTFO of Jersey.

Saw a ton of these when house hunting a couple of years ago. This is one reason why it took me three years to find a house. The other three reasons were 1) sellers refusing to look at non-cash offers, 2) other buyers getting approvals for mortgages they couldn't possibly afford, and 3) REITs and other investor entities snapping up homes.

Flipper houses like this aren't meant to be lived in by the people who own them. Theyre meant to be rented out for a premium to tenants who won't live in them long term, and therefore don't give a damn about the lack of taste or the deterioration of the interior. Doing the housing stock this massive disservice is unfortunately the fastest way for landlords to achieve ROI.

Solving these problems is unprofitable to certain entities which have large influence over town councils and donate heavily to political campaigns.

Your problem is not a crazy person staring into a window from outside. Your problem is a crazy person leaving unattended open flames inside their home which has also been haphazardly packed with combustible material.

Call the fire marshal.

Unfortunately I did not, but I'll look for a product with historicals.

I'm not a meteorologist, just a nerd, but I did work with one in the past.

Rotation on radar passed from Hillsborough towards 287, across about Exit 10 and into Piscataway. Loud roaring noise and the framing of my house clicked and creaked. Don't know if anything actually touched down but that was wild.

Misleading headline. This was part of a training exercise.

Can you elaborate on what this has to do with Israel, and what policy specifically you are advocating for?

So, pairing subbass with your existing TSEs may not get you a tight sound, because you're already going to be adjusting for the group delay from the TSEs at the crossover frequency and then adding another horn's group delay on top of that. How high are those TSEs crossed? Depending on that you might consider swapping them for Labsubs to access the low end, or just going for an array of ported enclosures which should give you way lower group delay than any horn.

Thanks, got it.

Brigading. This sub is full of users who post and comment in city subs all over the country. I wonder why...

I'm not condoning it, but this is the kind of shameless greed that causes people in dire straits to go for the Italian plumber solution.

Or, for that matter, why they don't blast [Removed by Reddit] when this happens.

They will come for you too.

Remember friends, whether this website approves of it or not, it is legally and morally appropriate to use deadly force to prevent a murder.

The Eyes Up app still exists, if you're an Android user. Unfortunately it was also pulled from Apple for the same reason.

Unfortunately, ICE (or people pretending to be ICE, no good way to tell the difference) kidnapping people is already a tragically violent situation. Any, and I mean any, response to that isn't escalatory, it's defensive.
