Have you tried approaching men instead? That way you choose who to approach.

I have a 2070, which is similar in performance to the 1080.

I've not yet encountered a situation where the GPU was the cause of the drop below 60fps.

It was either a CPU issue (doing excessive stuff in simulation-heavy games) or a developer issue (not even the most powerful GPU could handle such bad optimization)

That's why Nvidia is coming up with bullshit technology like DLSS to justify selling new GPUs. You don't need that much power to play games nowadays. A GTX-1080 is good enough for gaming, even in 2026.

As long as I know the answer, you can ask whatever you want.

Product specifications are different for the parts accessible to a user and the parts not accessible to the user.

If you tell a user "you can take it apart" the user will believe the product was made with taking it apart in mind. But it was not.

For example, a toy that is made to be taken apart, like legos, will survive it being taking apart thousands of times. But an electronic device that was made to take it apart only for repair purposes may last only tens of cycles.

So if a user disassembles their controller 100 times, a part will probably break, and the user will complain about it being such bad quality that it broke after taking it apart "a few times".

That's why it is important to disclose what you are MEANT to do as opposed to what you technically CAN do.

Lots of talk about the problems of implicit conversions. Which is known, and is the reason that rust does not have implicit conversions. But when it came to the heart of the article, the explanation of why unsigned is bad for sizes, it's just:

• One example about wrapping in ring buffers.
• Saying "in the 90s there were a lot of problems".
• The lower boundary "0" being near "normal" numbers.

I can see how you can think the 3rd one is an issue. But then the answer should be the java one of just removing unsigned. Since that issue is not exclusive to sizes, every unsigned use case has it.

It seems like the real problem here is having implicit conversions.

If you fear both, and curl | sh is a red flag. Binary blob is also a red flag, if you fear them both equally.

Has every software that runs in your computer been compiled by you?

Even if you the operators don't assassinate anyone, running illegal businesses will 99% of the time have other immoral side-effects. It's hard to keep an illegal business running while being 100% morally right.

If a farm has connections to organized crime, it's not growing it like any other crop.

I know people that grow normal crops, none of them have connections to organized crime.

If it's not open source or you are not compiling it:

Why so much fear about the shell script but no fear from the executable?

If it's open source and you are compiling it:

If you don't fear the project because you (presumably) have read the source code and determined that it's fine, why fear a shell script that is most certainly simpler, and you can read it like the rest of the code?

The morality of consuming marijuana is proportional to its legality though.

I will say that it's highly immoral to consume marijuana of unknown source, or sourced from a drug cartel that assassinates people that get in their way of delivering marihuana to you.

But if the source of marijuana is just some tax paying dude that grows marijuana legally like you would any other crop, I don't see any moral issue.

At most you could argue "the resources to grow it could be spent on food", but that is true for literally every form of entertainment. And "but it is unhealthy, and then we all have to pay for your poor health choices", which is actually fair. But way more moral than the drug-cartel sourced one.

For alcohol is different though, since it directly causes antisocial behavior on the consumer. Consuming alcohol is as immoral as whatever immoral acts you do while drunk.

Assuming a person born in 2000, with a 100 year life expectancy for easy math. In order to live to 3263, would need to live 1263 years, or 1263% life expectancy, which would mean 100% by default + 1163% via masturbation. So masturbate an average of 58,15 times per week, or 8,3 times per day.

It would hurt a lot, but I can see it being possible.

Wtf is this?

The most foreseeable event of the last 20 years.

Massive out of this world investment + no demand = prices so cheap they were operating at a huge loss

Operating at a huge loss + time = huge enshittification

Raising prices is the easiest form of enshittification. Ads are coming too. Lastly it will be degrading features. Incorporating more features that no one wants, and bundling with other services that no one wants.

And that is shown by the markings.

I just looked one up, it's less than 20€, 0,02mm of precision. There are just 4 markings between 1mm and the next.

So instead of 9 markings, each marking adding 0,01mm, you just add 0,02mm. Doesn't sound complicated at all.

I haven't found an analog one, but a digital one with 0,01mm of precision costs 30€. Maybe an analog one costs 50€.

So if adding 0,02 is too complicated, you can just buy a 0,01 one for 30€ more. Which is the price of a pizza for a tool that will last years.

Anything more precise than 0,01. You probably have a lot of experience using a caliper. Whatever method it uses to display that precision is gonna be second nature.
