For as long as I refuse to read it, it does not exist. 😤

Can I be this person for Rothfuss?

I wasn’t comparing badness or abuse, I was comparing autonomy. In the US they have the option to use the legal system to fight against things they don’t want to do. Usually ineffective, sure. But the option is there. Not so in China.

No, but a “company” in China has far less autonomy from the government in China than one in the US. For some people, that can be stressful

Fuck them gently with a chainsaw.

Why not both?

The concern was that it uses a “liquid metal” thermal interface, and that if the system overheated while vertical it could migrate away from the hot zones. This is a potential issue with thermal grizzly’s liquid metal product, requiring occasional maintenance. Apparently the ps5 doesn’t have that issue.

It doesn’t. It was never the point of his post. You can still believe that if you want. His reasoning for why he doesn’t is outlined there.

It comes down to whether or not you find processes that we have researched and documented time and time again to be compelling evidence, or you want to believe it is a practical joke (while reductive, it is pretty much that argument breaks down to being).

While the understanding would be nice to have, I suspect it is more a lack of backbone than anything else.

I think the word you were looking for is moist.

But 0x80 is how you’d normally express 128 as hex. So it’s relevant. But deliberately confusing.

And hopefully you never will

It was IBM’s binary to character transform. DB2 can still use it if you configure it to do so. Or was at least as of the version from 1998 that I had to replace.

I would have pegged EBCDIC for that, but ok

I sincerely hope that if they come up with a 128bit instruction set they call it “x80” to maintain backwards compatibility with previous set names and be deliberately confusing to everyone.

I dunno, wlxaa392a001f7d has a nice ring to it

I would subscribe to Cthulhu’s OnlyFhtagns.
