They all have to work (at least to an extent) using only x1. It’s part of the PCIe spec.

Missing pins are actually extremely common. If your board has a slot that’s x16 (electrically x8), which is very common for a second video card, take a closer look. Half the pins in the slot aren’t connected. It has the full slot to make you feel better about it, and it provides some mounting stability, but it’s electrically the same as an x8 that’s open.

USB the protocol, or just uses a USB cable? If it’s not using the protocol, the cables are a cheap way of getting cables of a certain spec.

California is net neutral. Whether it’s a giver or taker state depends on the year and the exact criteria used, but it’s never very far from even.

That said, sister relief is an area that California gets the shaft.

You’re glossing over the most important word:

The payment was made just before everything got DOGEd

It was a valid payment, not made in error. They decided after the fact that they didn’t like the valid payment, and reversed it. This likely involved fraud, because that’s not a valid reason to reverse a payment.

They didn’t “create” money. They “extracted” it from the working class.

This can get a bit complicated with federation. This community is hosted on LW. I am accessing it via sopuli.xyz, and you via feddit.uk. All (presumably) have full bidirectional federation with each other.

When I hit send, this message will go to Sopuli’s outbox, which will then sync to LW for this community. At that point, this post will live on LW’s servers. Anyone accessing LW directly can see it, even if Sopuli were to go down. Later (probably less than a minute), LW will sync to Feddit.uk, at which point you will be able to see it.

Note that this is for text posts only. There have been some changes around images and video, both for bandwidth and liability reasons.

We don’t have 5 9s, but we do have 9 5s.

Less of a bank, and more like livestock. And you’ve seen how they treat other forms of livestock.

Let’s rename it to “Accounts Receivable” and really run this country like a business.

Before going homeless, there will be a massive uptick in reverse mortgages. Remember that most retirees were able to buy houses back when they were super cheap. A reverse mortgage gives them income while effectively selling the equity in their home. As is often the case, they will be screwing over their kids and grandkids. There won’t even be a house (owned) to inherit upon their death.

The executor will be forced to sell the house to pay off the reverse mortgage, often at a discount, to exactly the types you describe.

In the meantime, you can turn off a lot of Google’s tracking, or at least their record keeping. Make sure you’ve disabled all of the tracking you can.

I won’t speak to how the UK does things, but in the US this would make for an easier criminal charge.

It can be difficult to prove that someone stole (or is about to steal) a car, or broke in to steal the contents. This is especially true if they weren’t apprehended in or with the vehicle itself. But if they are arrested on suspicion, and one of these devices is found on them, they can very easily be prosecuted for possession of criminal tools. It’s similar to how we normies can’t legally own a lockpicking kit unless we’re locksmiths.

Not removed - never added to the US designs. They were added afterwards to models being sold in places that require them.

Do you have a source on that? I remember Neil DeGrasse Tyson getting a bunch of heat for claiming 5:1, although that may have used different criteria.

Edit: It was 5:1 according to https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/neil-degrasse-tyson-vax-tweet/

Also no source indicated.

laws have to apply to people I dislike as much as they apply to people I like.

Is that the case today?

I appreciate that people are correctly labeling it as a threat. Far too many have used overly soft language to downplay what’s going on.

It’s since been updated, although I’m not sure the changes are any better. More clinical, I guess.

Goodwin was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2015 for 1st degree criminal sexual act and 1st degree sexual abuse, according to state prison records. He was released in 2023.

The victims were a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, according to the state sex offender’s registry.

In order to do business in Mexico, they must agree to Mexican laws.

In order to do business in Canada, they must follow Canadian laws.

In order to do business in the US, they must follow US laws kiss the ring.

This isn’t the first time big tech has had to tackle something like this. Usually it’s with disputed territory. In that case, each region gets to see what it demands to see, while presenting something different to the rest of the world.

I’m guessing this is all just a ploy to make Lockheed, Northrup, and Raytheon kiss the ring.

Next week, all the classified work will be contracted to them for a steal of only thrice the price, but only once they’ve publicly kissed his ass enough.

Just so we’re all on the same page, they aren’t meeting to negotiate peace. They’re meeting to divide assets. It’s probate, basically.
