Mikrotik is pretty decent but their configuration method drives me up a wall. Ansible helps mitigate the annoyance, at least (in that I only have to figure out/remember the arcane incantation for configuring VLANs once, and then subsequently just have the machine do it).

You think you can just go into starbucks, and present your butthole, to all who look at you, while also sleeping on their counter?

I mean, anybody can do pretty much anything they want at least once.

There are chipset design issues and there are firmware issues. The former is much more difficult to address quickly than the latter, sure.

Torvalds's point, though, is that hardware developers (Intel specifically) keep making changes that "fix" imaginary problems while screwing over compatibility, and trying to shift the onus of making it work to the volunteers who contribute to open source instead of just paying their engineers to produce working firmware.

If the problem were only with defective silicon, I'd agree with you (to an extent), but this is not really an issue with the circuits.

To add to this, spent fuel is over 90% recyclable. If the US were to instate a comprehensive recycling program like France has done, the spent fuel cache could be reduced to negligible amounts.

If it results in the nuclear plants remaining online and providing energy after the AI bubble pops, that doesn't seem so bad.

Fission is one of the cleanest energy sources we have today.

Well, at least the one star 😉

Which GPU do you have? I'm looking for an upgrade and those framerates make me drool.

I thought they had white coats because they take their methamphetamine production lab very seriously.

Here's the only thing you need to know: radio is black magic.

There is a cost, but it's not measured in currency.

So you're saying Rust is the TOOL of programming languages.
