Nah, my cousin needed stitches after trying to separate frozen burgers with a butter knife years ago.

Put them vertical on a cutting board, and keep your hands out from underneath it.

I think it’s got about 3-4 billion years left in the tank, if I remember reading correctly. It won’t be humanity’s problem.

There’s a transactional cost to processing the sale, hosting the giant download and then issuing the refund. If people organized and manipulated the system and this became a financial burden, then the policy would almost certainly change.

About it being completely arbitrary and anti-consumer? It 100% is.

I’ve got a gallon of chlorine bleach that can purify a few hundred gallons of water from the lake at the end of my street, a crossbow that can keep us fed for a while, and a smoker that can preserve meat. I do know how to properly can veggies to keep them preserved, but I’d run out of lids after a season. I suppose I’d save seeds from this years garden and grow a lot of winter squash next season, but cross pollination might mess that up.

Depending on whether or not I ran into a marauding gang of savages, I could probably make it longer than most.

I read that in ED-209

Sony has a horrific track record of data breaches.

They’re collecting and selling data about you for profit.

I place that bar higher than this.

For my own personal amusement, what else would they have to do to meet the level your personal anti-consumer bar is set at?

This is actually a fantastic idea. How long will it take Valve to threaten account bans for doing it?

A serial tech entrepreneur and venture capitalist who believes that pretty much everything governments currently do, tech can do better.

This is just really fucking rich.

Honestly, that is the dumbest train of thought I’ve had to read in a while. And it’s also probably 100% accurate.

So currently I’m running a 5800x and a regular 2060. I’ve got a 650w gold PSU that’s about 4 years old, no problems with it at all. I’m thinking about upgrading to a RX 7800 XT because GeForce prices are perpetually absurd. It seems like it would be enough power, but the few things I’ve read say that I need at least a 750w if I go with the AMD (because they’re power hungry?), but 650w would be fine for a 4070ti. If I have to buy a new PSU, I feel like it would wipe out any savings I might get by buying AMD over Nvidia. How can I definitively know if I need more power?

Full disclosure, I understand the concept of undervolting, but I’m not nearly confident enough to mess with the settings.
