Get shots, pay health insurance. Dont get shots, life insurance pays your loved ones.

Macabre and sadly true.

Cool! I might give that a try instead of the Ventoy i use regularly. Thanks for the info !

I use Ventoy regularly but im too lazy to setup Grub2 on a USB and load up isos.

Not sure who these Ventoy fanbois or bros are.

Yup Ventoy does hide binary blobs and has some dodgy devs and code. Use at own risk.

Also I dont have any sensitive stuff. So mostly Ventoy is used to install playground server isos and stuff. Not much use for it otherwise.

At the expense of employee benefits, shareholder value/payouts, public interests, competition, everyone and everything ,except M$ board & C-suite , lost money.

I wonder how Microsoft feels about XBox and other things. Gaining marketshare by throwing money at it is an absolutely viable strategy for companies that can do it.

AMD doesnt need to price-cut to compete here. If AMD could make OpenCL and similar projects more successful than CUDA and nVidia, which requires time,money,investment in people,talent, etc etc. then AMD might in 2 or 3 years have a viable alternative to compete.

so-called "gravity batteries" is pretty much exactly a dam with a mini-dam/reservoir at the bottom. When there is an excess, you run the motor to reverse the waterflow to pump uphill into a highe-elevation water retention pond/mini-dam.

This also helps reduce the amount of outflow water "lost" due to high-demand. Since you could take almost a day to fill the bottom reservoir and spend "wind"/solar to pump back the "lost" water downstream back into the higher-level reservoir.

Even if things are inefficient wind/solar are "renewable", so you can keep "wasting" excess to replenish the dam and still make enough money back ( think in-terms of drought, flooding, windy, sunny, cloudy, etc ) you can basically keep the high-output "system" always topped-up with water. And still supply water + electricity as it is needed. There is no "downside".

Not everyone agrees. So opinions can differ.

It is far far worse. Check LegendaryDrops video about what Ubi developers have told him in private.

Ubisoft as a company no longer exists as it did back when they made good games.

It is all a shitshow right now.

Or an Earth with Harsher winters and Massive Winterstorms followed by Scorching HeatWaves. Only cockaroaches will survive.

Unless you are evolving into roaches, no human being will survive the Earth's mighty global climate swings.

I told the truth and people downvote the truth. It is sad. Somehow pushing "The Message" absolves people of any responsibility to what they are supporting and doing causing problems.

If you use Google Meet or Zoom or some kind of Desktop recording software, you can record yourself talking between blank or paused video while taking the online course and have the transcript + your own voiced notes with the recording as review material + courseware.

If you take the trouble of revisiting , revising, re-note-taking you might end up with better understanding and even self-generated workbook + answers too ( including your mistakes and what is a false trail or false path and the correct approach ) .

Don't you have a Penguin sticker on yours ? It doesnt have to be a Windows logo.
