Ok, but you are saying ‘Kilroy was here’ was an ‘early’ meme dating back to the 1940s. By the ‘thing described by a term can predate the term’ logically, memes have always been a thing and you won’t be able to cite an ‘early’ meme credibly.
The guy was agreeing that 'sure, that was a meme, but so too were many many things throughout history, basically life is a constant barrage of ‘memes’ in that sense.

Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce modelsEnglish
1·4 days agoLike how nVidia buys equity in a customer and in part promises expensive real product as part of it. So they may have so many billions worth of equity in a customer and might be able to leverage that to fund that production if needed, but if that equity evaporates, then they still are on the hook for the expensive product committment.
So maybe not yet straightforward debt, but a whole lot of expensive balls in the air that could manifest as a committed expense when there’s no actual money to execute…
Just seems like a lot of financial moves that are far from straightforward of a magnitude that could wipe a company out.

3·4 days agoI am not sure. They have other businesses but not sure those other businesses are able to sustain the obligations that nVidia has committed to in this round. They are juggling more money than their pre-AI boom market cap by a wide margin, so if the bubble pops, unclear how big a bag nVidia will be left holding and if the rest of their business can survive it. Guess they might go bankrupt and come out of it eventually to continue business as usual after having financial obligations wiped away…
Also, they have somewhat tarnished their reremovedtion with going all in on the dataenter equipment to, seemingly here, abandoning the consumer market to make more capacity for the datacenters. So if AMD ever had an opportunity to maybe cash in, well, here it might be… Except they also dream of being a big datacenter player, but weaker demand may leave them with leftover capacity…

Technology@lemmy.world•Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachmentsEnglish
3·7 days agoI guess the same way email can have html as an attachment for the same thing a plaintext does, evidently some of these mails suggested a mailer actually pdf encoded the email and attached, as well as the plain text.
So when someone replied with plaintext the base64 encoded PDF that they were replying to got ‘quoted’, meaning the unredacted email they were replying to is in there, just messy due to font confusion in the provided format.

Technology@lemmy.world•Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachmentsEnglish
11·7 days agoSome of the reactions are some in an effective way, and I assume this example is one of them. The problem being evidently they didn’t think any what might be in big base64 blobs in the PDF, and I guess some of these folks somehow had their email encoded as PDF, which seems bonkers…

World News@lemmy.world•China to ban hidden car door handles made popular by Tesla in world firstEnglish
5·9 days agoA door handle should not require reading a manual, especially not if it works one way day to day but an entirely different way in an emergency when people are least likely to think of perusing the manual (which is also electronic in the Teslas, I believe).

World News@lemmy.world•China to ban hidden car door handles made popular by Tesla in world firstEnglish
7·9 days agoThe normal handles might shift the coefficient of drag by 0.01 by the most generous estimate I could find, and the Lucid Air has a coefficient of 0.197… It’s insignificant. A flap-type door handle that is recessed is probably exactly the same as the ‘cool’ flat handle look, and if not an air baffle for the lower half would absolutely make it the same as the weird ones

World News@lemmy.world•China to ban hidden car door handles made popular by Tesla in world firstEnglish
6·9 days agoBut it’s about locking the door from the outside that is relevant here. If the external handles get in the way of rescuers, then the fact that they outside handles are almost certainly locked in that situation anyway is even more so. They will break the window and use the interior mechanism (which if electronic, could still suck, which Tesla runs afoul of). If you had traditional door handles, but electronic mechanism, the first responders would still be screwed).
But the mechanism being electronic means no one can operate the latch. But if it were somehow mechanical, but still physically like the Model 3/Y door handles, would that be considered ‘adequate’? It’s confusing, and harder to open if there’s ice over it, but I don’t think that facet factors into a rescue scenario.
(but you would be right that the auto-lock has nothing to do with child occupants, it’s about if someone can open your door at a stoplight)

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•What do you mean it's not $139.00 for an OS?
5·10 days agoYeah, but without learning Microsoft, how would you know that ‘dir’ just makes sense? Or that you might want to look at ‘diskpart’ to look at your drives?

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•What do you mean it's not $139.00 for an OS?
10·10 days agoI mean, diskpart and dir don’t make especially any more sense than lsblk/parted and ls. A fair point can be made for ‘copy’ being more intuitive, but ‘diskpart’ means you had to learn what disks and partitioning were, and lsblk means you need to learn what ‘block’ devices rae, and of course ‘parted’ references partitions. ‘dir’ means you wanted to ‘show the directory’ which means you had to learn of it as a directory, but then learn that the shortname of directory is the way to see the contents of a directory. ls means you learned you want to ‘list’ contents and that unix had this laziness of just the first and third letters of a word. Both involve learning, neither is ‘intuitive’.
You end up writing ridiculously long commands
I assume this is the likes of dbus-send and crap, and I agree with you if that’s the case. Dbus is a complication I could do without and have to confess that powershell cmdlets generally do a better job of instrumenting the system than a system that increasingly has no specific help and only long dbus-send commands to tackle certain things. dconf has issues too, but I think does a better job than the Windows registry at analagous function.

1·11 days agoAh, ok, that’s fair. I agree that codec/bitrate choice has made a lot of ostensibly ‘4k’ content look like crap, so why have 8k when many providers/internet connections won’t even cover the requisite detail to drive 4k in streaming.
