The fact that no new ram production capacity is being developed would indicate a lack of future contracts

You would need more ram to do that. Understand the difference between primary and secondary memory.

Linear components like power amplifiers are made from the same material as digital circuitry, and they use a lot more of it.

What, you mean it wasn’t there already ? It’s the only place where it would be actually useful.

Reagan in his second term would forget what he said halfway through a sentence.

The rot really began with Google and the the goal of “professionalism” in teaching.

Textbooks were thrown out, in favour of “flexible” teaching models, and Google allowed lazy teachers to just set assignments rather than teach lessons (prior to Google, the lack of resources in a normal school made assignments difficult to complete to any sort of acceptable standard).

The continual demand for “professionalism” also drove this trend - “we have to have these vast, long winded assignments because that’s what is done at university”.

AI has rendered this method of pedagogy void, but the teaching profession refuses to abandon their aim for “professionalism”.

It switches to storing files on Onedrive without warning.

Then if you disable Onedrive, you lose access to your files (on Onedrive) and their memory space is reused.

It doesn’t actually delete local storage, as the path is just switched.

When I was in year 5 the kids in the class had been working cutting apricots and they bought tonnes of candy and these whistles they were blowing all the time.

How much did the whistles cost ? one cent.

True story.

It isn’t any easier and the infrastructure in Louisiana used to produce Venezuelan oil was abandoned decades ago.

From the questions people ask and from online accounts.

Yeah no. The Venezuelan oil infrastructure is falling apart, it would take billions to bring it back up to service.

But isn’t that the point ?

The Venezualan heavy sour crude needs a lot of refining which creates jobs (at least in the construction phase) in Louisiana.

Of course the processing is spectacularly filthy and coastal land is expensive in the US so it would probably be built in Venezuela but it will be years before anyone finds that out.

No I know. The stuff made in the 1970s was utter garbage.

Anything with moving parts, after about 6 weeks you’d hear a grinding noise then a snap and a puff of smoke.

Chuck em out the window and there’s a thousand people behind them willing and able to take their place.

Skill issue.

Cyprus was in NATO.

It’s not free you know.

Yes, the software doesn’t cost anything but the chipset is supplied by a single manufacturer Qualcomm and costs a bomb.

By “non-political” he means pro-MAGA.

What is the point of having a passkey on OneDrive ?

isn’t the whole point of OneDrive that you can access your files anywhere ?

Am I missing something here ?

Have you tried turning it off and then on again ?
