USB devices are also hotpluggable, but that doesn’t mean that the data stays in the system if you just pull out the HDD.

It would be obviously “an issue” and drastically reduce performance in many cases, but compared to the buildin igpu, you’d probably still be able to get a much better performance for lots of applications.

Seriously: the GeForce GT 520M, launched January 2011, wants a full PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Same with the Raedeon HD 6330M. You could probably get away with just 8 lanes if you had to, but not only one.

Connecting a GPU with just one PCIe lane isn’t the biggest problem. You’ll just slow down data exchange between the CPU and GPU (mostly loading textures and vertex positions).

If your game mostly relies on shaders and renders lots of rather static stuff, you’ll mostly just get longer loading times but FPS shouldn’t suffer too much.

That doesn’t bother me too much.

With the CPU being that slow, I don’t think you’ll really need a proper SSD. (And the CPU doesn’t have the required PCIe interfaces anyway).

They probably could’ve added socketed RAM, but based on the photo, the main board looks quite full and messy with random chips (likely needed to work around CPU limitations), so it probably wasn’t a high priority.

I’m interested in the cooling requirements and battery life.

I’m not interested in ARM CPUs with all their weird proprietary stuff.

The GPU inside the processor/soc has the following specifications:

• Imagination BXE-4-32 GPU with support for OpenCL 1.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.2
• Video Decoder – H.265, H.264 4K @ 60fps or 1080p @ 30fps, MJPEG
• Video Encoder – H.265/HEVC Encoder, 1080p @ 30fps

I don’t think you’ll be able to use a separate/external GPU with it. Thunderbolt support is highly unlikely and that processor has only 1 or 2 PCIe lanes (depending how USB is connected), which is likely already used for WiFi.

They have, the hinges of my Framework 13 AMD model from September 2023 are completely fine.

Transferring the whole account after you die is what this post is about.

After WW2 it was more like they split Germany into parts and “occupied” the remaining industry and workforce for reparations. There wasn’t much of the original Reich left that could’ve paid reparations.

The basic software like the Intellij Community Edition is also fully open source. (And it’s not actually basic at all. It’s a great full featured IDE)

Basically you’re only paying for their support/updates and for specific language and toolkit support, which makes sense to me. They need to pay their staff somehow.

It’s not comparable to Adobe or other crappy manufacturers where you own nothing.

German, English and enough French to greet someone or order a baguette. I can also understand some Dutch (both written and verbal), but I don’t really speak it.

Texts still aren’t free in Germany, most of the time, they usually cost around 10 cents each. Sure, you can get free texts for around 2€ a month, but it’s an optional add-on to your plan and not worth it for many people. Especially as everyone uses WhatsApp or Signal anyway, which are basically free (pretty much everyone has a data plan, obviously).

They’re pretty much the same. Use docker documentation for learning, but actually use podman, because it’s nicer to use (doesn’t require root, easier to install on many Linux distributions).

Neither, I am who I am and that’s fine, but it’s not a curse or gift.

When measuring lengths and time, metric units are super useful. Micrometers, Millimeters, Centimeters, Meters and Kilometres are easily and often converted in a lot of technical jobs.

Same with nanoseconds, milliseconds and seconds when dealing with time in simulations or other computer programs (e.g. game development).

Milliliters, Centiliters and Liters are commonly used in cooking.

What’s wrong with hectometers? I don’t know how often they’re used but dealing with a factor of 10 or 100 to the next “regular” unit (meters or kilometers) is no big deal.

Who knows. Java is a much bigger programming language than Rust. Might be easier to find developers. But obviously it depends on interest. Who knows.

In the US cutting off the foreskin for phimosis or other minor issues is unfortunately very common (probably because “it’s no big deal, many had it done”) when using lube and careful stretching or just waiting would have been sufficient.

Cutting off the offending part should always be the last option, e.g. in the case of cancer. We don’t need an exception that cutting off e.g. a finger should be only done if medically necessary. That’s obvious. It should be the same here. Otherwise you’re just creating a loop hole.

Super lazy? Random bread/toast with store bought hummus.

A little bit cooking is okay? Then pasta with olive oil and garlic (and parmesan or chili if available). Or alternatively I put a can of kidney beans with a can of tomatoes, garlic, chili, and spices in a pot, cook it a bit, and serve with rice, pasta, bread, or tortilla chips. Or whatever else is quickly available.

Or frozen pizza.

I disagree, I’d love getting stuff related to my hobbies.

I simply can’t believe that they released the game in this unfinished state. Early access or a public beta would be understandable, but you just don’t release a half-finished product promising to deliver the remaining stuff later.

The Minecraft way where you continually provide upgrades for your game can obviously work, but in that case, the game is cheaper and the upgrades are free. If they were going that route, CS2 should have been a free upgrade of CS1 with all the features of the previous product and nobody would’ve complained.

If you buy another full product, you expect another full product.

You acquire skills and then start the business. Without skills, you won’t know if the idea is any good.

Like your idea could be to create and sell a software to design Lego builds, but without any skills in software development or law, you’d have no idea if that’s feasible programming wise, how much work it would be, or if Lego might sue you for trademark violation if you do that.

Ideas are easy, doing the stuff is hard.

Obviously you can outsource some parts, for example you could hire a lawyer to make sure you violate no trademark law, but when you don’t have much money, the reality is that you will start small and have to do most research and actual work (if not all) yourself.
