Mistic

I agree that the gestures feel great (pretty much the only good part about this mouse imo), but why not just use a track pad instead?

Here's mine, that works outside of tech:

It's a great source for second opinions.

Say you want to make a CV, but you don't know where to even begin. You could give it a description of what you've been doing and ask it to help you figure out what jobs fit the skillset and how to present your skills better.

It's a good tool for such rough estimations that give you ground to improve upon.

This works well for planning or making up documentation. Saves a lot of time, with minimal impact to quality, because you're not mindlessly copying or believing the output.

I'm also considering it for assisting me in learning Japanese. Just enough to be able to read in it. We'll see how it does.

UPD: as of right now, the access isn't blocked in any way.

It is still unclear whether or not the block was intentional, Nvidia gave no comments.

I think you'll appreciate #ffcc66

That's fair. I've put it there as more of a possible use case rather than something you should be consistently doing.

Although iGPU can perform quite well when given a lot of RAM, afaik.

If games, modding uses a lot. It can go to the point of needing more than 32gb, but rarely so.

Usually, you'd want 64gb or more for things like video editing, 3d modeling, running simulations, LLMs, or virtual machines.

I work in IT as PM, you're pretty close.

Modern technology is glued together NOT random shit that somehow works.

Everything created has been built with a purpose, that's why it's not random. However, the longer you go on, the more rigid the architecture becomes, so you start creating workarounds, as doing otherwise takes too much time which you don't have, because you have a dozen of other more important tasks at hand.

When you glue those solutions together, they work because they've been built to work in a specific use case. But it also becomes more convoluted every time, so you really need to dig to fix something you didn't account for.

Then it becomes so rigid and so convoluted that to fix some issues properly, you'd have to rebuild everything, starting from architecture. And if you can't make more workarounds to satisfy the demand? You do start all over again.

Mind you, there are two types of under screen fingerprint sensors: optical and ultrasonic.

Optical blasts the finger with light and forms a 2d scan. It's pretty slow and arguably worse than conventional (capacitive) scanner on the back of the phone.

Ultrasonic, however, because it uses sound waves, maps a 3d scan. It is significantly faster than conventional scanner, and it also doesn't care about your fingers being wet.

Ultrasonic sensor only requires a quick tap to unlock the phone. It's actually really convenient to use, I like those. I'd take the capacitive sensor over optical one, though.

I look into those regularly. Those are credible sources that are often used by our scientists, but you have to be very careful with statistics during war periods.

What do you think the majority of people hear when asked, "Do you support actions of Russian military in Ukraine?". They hear, "Are you a traitor?" and answer accordingly. The majority (4 out of 5, I believe, if not more) refuse to answer at all. So, it's not exactly representative.

What we look at instead is questions that are not this direct. Such as "Do you think Russia should continue or start peace talks?". The majority (58%) is for peace talks. This number has increased since September 2022 by 10%, whilst the number of pro-war people decreased from 44% to 34%. Their quality also changed. For "absolutely should start peace talks" went from 21% (out of all votes) up to 26%, whilst for "absolutely should continue military actions" went from 29% down to 21%.

The longer things continue, the less support Russia's government has. That's what can be said for certain. The other conclusion we can derive is that war isn't popular.

Edit: Oh, and the youth, 67% of the youth (18-24) is for peace talks, 23% pro-war. 65% for ages 25-39, only 25% pro-war.

The vast majority of pro-war people are elderly. Can you guess who also watches the TV the most? And who the TV is controlled by?

For the full picture, I'll also add "they started it, so it's their responsibility, we had no choice in it" This phrase explains the whole mentality of Russians very well.

The government claims it's Google's hardware getting outdated. Google says that's bs.

I think that it's convenient how they're telling that to us right before throttling YouTube only with certain providers (and seems to be with only certain regions as well).

They're crap. People will be and are looking for ways to evade restrictions.

Right now, they're only limiting speed with certain providers in certain locations. There are at least three ways that I know of to avoid it.

The thing is, I don't know how far they'll take it. Blocking YouTube is a major political risk. Practically, everybody uses it for one reason or another. So, unlike their "special military operation," this (as mercantile as it sounds) will potentially have a bigger impact on everybody's lives. But you really can never be sure with our mafia-in-charge anymore.

Not unless you're making videos from abroad.

YouTube doesn't serve ads when viewed from Russia anymore, so there is no revenue from this audience. And you can't take money out from within Russia due to sanctions.

Russian YouTubers are pretty much screwed and have to re-locate. The only other option is earning from product placements.
