DVI and HDMI are actually the same video signal. Which is why adapters are so cheap.
DP can carry an HDMI encoded signal (and thus a DVI signal), which is why DP->HDMI and DP->DVI adapters are so cheap. It’s called DP Dual Mode or Multi Mode or something like that.
I haven’t encountered a device that outputs DisplayPort that cannot output the Dual Mode HDMI encoded signal as well.

HDMI/DVI->DP is an active conversion - ie it is re-encoding it. Which is why the converters are significantly more expensive.

However, it’s all digital. If the signal quality degrades, it will be very obvious because it stops working (sparkles on a black screen, lines, flashes, all sorts).

Utah’s safety net for the poor is so intertwined with the LDS Church that individual bishops often decide who receives assistance. Some deny help unless a person goes to services or gets baptized.

Soinds like coercion

How about, they were both utterly terrible?
Like, what does it matter?

British Empire were shits, enslaved people, stole relics/art/wealth, murdered people, tortured people, probably experimented on people.
Nazis were shits, enslaved people, stole relics/art/wealth, murdered people, tortured people, experimented on people.

The Nazi’s atrocities are certainly better documented.
Both because they are more recent in history, and because they were the losers. The winner’s atrocities were less likely to be documented throughout history.

To be fair, I heard a lot of rumours about it not coming to Xbox because Microsoft required parity of features.
So, I can understand your misreading

Ah yes, lithobreking.

I will say that a good scammer will circumvent a lot of the “earning trust” stage.
Through social engineering or just sheer luck, they will catch you at a time when your guard is down and they will manipulate a sense of urgency.

“Hi mom, my phone fell in the toilet and I really need it for work tomorrow. I’m using a friends phone right now, all my bank access was on that phone. I’m so stressed. Can you send me $800 via (dodgy website) so I can buy a new phone and get to work”.

Instantly hits on an emotional pressure point. Adds a huge sense of urgency, with good reasons for an untrusted number and a dodgy payment method, and makes it seem difficult to corroborate with the mom’s kid.

“Hello, this is your real estate agent. Unfortunately there has been a complication with the purchase of your new house. Due to extra fees, $10,000 needs to be transferred to X by midnight, otherwise the banks will reject the purchase/mortgage/whatever. Sorry for the out-of-hours contacts, I’m currently in (city) on other business and not in the office”

Another hugely stressful scenario. Massive sense of urgency with a disastrous deadline.
People don’t buy houses every day, and may not be fully aware of the process. They might take this as an unexpected but legit part of the process.
Obviously, this requires significant social engineering to set the scam up in the first place (knowing someone is buying a house and roughly when). But the payout can be significant.

The biggest piece of advice I can give is:
If someone is applying a sense of urgency on any decision: STOP.
Take a breather, think about the scenario. And then contact “the person/company” via another way through means you research yourself.

If it’s on the phone, ask for a case number, Google the company and phone them directly. By text or email, same thing. Find their phone number via Google.
If it is legitimate, an extra 30m isn’t going to harm anything. Especially if you say “sorry about that, I wasn’t sure if it was a scam or not”.

Go to steam, right click the game and browse local files.
Navigate to something like Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Content\Movies and delete (or move) them.

I’ve played other games with annoying intros. Normally, deleting the files means the don’t play on startup.
Where they are depends on the game. A quick Google found this solution.

You will probably have to re-delete them after an update, and after running a “verify local files”.
I’ve done this with EAC games without issues (incase you are worried)

I mean, better loading feedback would be better than an arbitrary “interactive within 1 second” blanket rule, leading to this whole “press button to continue” workaround.

That’s like a generator needing an earth rod, and the engineer putting an earth rod into a plant pot. Sure, the earth rod is there, and sunk to regulated depth in dirt… but it’s a plant pot.
Just make an accurate loading screen with accurate feedback.

It’s because ram is even faster with lower latency.

Pcie4.0x4 nvme is 40Gbps (I presume you mean pcie4.0 which is the newest and greatest over pcie3.0).
And that’s if it can actually sustain that level of read/write consistently, and isn’t just dumping data into a buffer.

DDR3 1333mhz is 80Gbps (which is 15 years old).
DDR4 2133 is 136Gbps.
These are just rough numbers. Actual throughput is going to depend on number of channels, mobo, CPU etc.

Same for wind, solar, geothermal, nuclear energy generation then?

I can tell you that big data centers likely have a 4 year hardware cycle, where it is all under warranty and service contract.
After which, it gets sold to refurbishers who refurb it and resell it. Or the datacenter may repurpose it for labs, OOB hardware, or donate it to schools.

A lot of smaller companies don’t need the latest and greatest, and are quite happy running old 2nd hand hardware.

Even after they are done with it, there are plenty of hobbyists that will buy it. I have a couple 8 year old servers that run absolutely fine for what I need.

Old servers are also kept around as parts for companies that refuse to update old hardware (and will just keep buying spares, or like-for-like replacements).
The last step is ewaste, where the good stuff gets boiled in acid to extract the gold, or whatever they do.

The only things that are generally destroyed during hardware cycles are the storage, and that’s normally for compliance reasons.

The salt water won’t come into contact with anything except pumps, a heat exchanger and the exterior of the container.
The servers live in a nitrogen environment, so it reduces corrosion, I doubt there would be any dirt or dust. It’s going to be an incredible sterile environment.

I don’t care about Manifest V3. I care about ublock origin.
When that stops working, then I’ll swap.

Ah, the new Lemmy switcharoo!

Never mind flaky internet, what about people that do events?

Things like PowerPoint presentation machines, VJ systems, video servers (for massive multiscreen playback).
You can’t go into a field for a festival and expect reliable internet.
You can’t go into a theatre and expect reliable internet, especially when 3k+ people turn up.
There are a few systems that run OSX, but Apple’s hardware doesn’t give you as much control as something like an Nvidia Quadro with sync cards. 99% of the big shows will be ran from Windows OS

Might be a little old? Not sure, you would have to research it.
I’m not well versed in what pfSense/opnSense needs, which is why I threw r630s at a project that mattered.
Some cheapo refubed i3 with an Intel NIC card would do. I just suggested the SFF refurb because a lot of people like low power (and SFFs are generally low power)

“several hours” being the entire expected length of the expedition.
Because previous dives, the sub had lost communication for long periods of time.

This whole thing was a “how not to submarine”.
Like, you know how OSHA/HSE/whatever laws are written in blood? Yeh, prime example.

Which is awesome.
I actually have no idea where Blockchain tech could exist.
A reputation could be an excellent example. But if it can be manipulated or gamed, it kinda makes it pointless.
At which point a centralised registry makes sense.
As long as the central registrar can be trusted.
But I don’t think Blockchain solves that point of trust.

So, once again, turns out Blockchain tech is pretty useless.

Is this finally an application for a Blockchain?
Some sort of decentralised registry of instance reputation?

Theres some that aren’t just money.
There are bots that mirror content from Reddit, just linking to them.
I’ve seen posts that are 3 or 4 crossposts (between community/instances) deep.

I want content.
