I read the bill and came across this in section 11:

Before prescribing an age-verification method under subsection (1), the Governor in Council must consider whether the method

(a) is reliable;

(b) maintains user privacy and protects user personal information;

© collects and uses personal information solely for age-verification purposes, except to the extent required by law;

(d) destroys any personal information collected for age-verification purposes once the verification is completed; and

(e) generally complies with best practices in the fields of age verification and privacy protection.

Do I think this is a good bill or a necessary bill? No.

Do I think it can be abused to block a wide swath of sites? Yes.

Does it necessarily lead to that as the OP article suggests? No.

Does it put people on a list that can be leaked? In principle it should not.

Will it make it more difficult for smaller websites like lemmy.ca to host? Possibly, but most likely not, as it can operate as normal until the government gives the server admins an official notice.

Based on ATX standards https://xdevs.com/doc/Standards/ATX/ATX12V_Power_Supply_Design_Guide_Rev1.1.pdf,

Each 12V circuit from the PSU should deliver around 150W and definitely not more than 240VA (over current protection kick in rating). One cord runs on that single circuit so it can’t deliver more than that much power. I experienced this when I foolishly thought I could reduce cable clutter building my friends’ PC, only to realize the 3080 ran terribly and was drawing about 150W, not unlike OP, except in my case it was clear this was the issue.

The word “slam” has been reserved for headlines of someone giving minor criticism, can’t use that unfortunately.

Just that game or all games performing poorly?

Just that game: verify or reinstall the game.

Other games too: if it’s a software issue, check Graphics Driver? For potential hardware issues, check if a GPU power cable is loose, reseat it, and make sure you don’t have two pcie power connectors from the same cable connected to both ports.

I will still wait for more concrete details before I cast judgement, but in the meantime I can say this much:

Many leftist haters of Trump wouldn’t go in a Cybertruck to make a statement. They’d probably even refuse to be paid to get in one.

The very first thing I checked for is which circuit it was, too, haha…

Of course the Loper Bright decision is going to be used to prevent federal agencies with helping improving anything. Judges be like “You can’t rein in this corporate abuse because there’s an app for it, bro. Totally different!”

Well this is a more or less solved problem in BC:

The gig worker min wage is 20% more than min wage to account for the “non-engaged time”.

Certainly, an event emergency plan would include one or two service entrances with the blocks placed slightly further apart.

I was thinking of blocking every street between Canal to the West, Rampart to the North, Esplanade to the East and Decatur to the South. I’ve been to the NOLA French Quarter before and know how busy it gets around event nights. The streets I mentioned surrounding the french quarter are wide enough to bring a massive truck in. The spacing will be wide enough for the mounted police the city employs, or motorbikes where needed, but not enough for cars.

A simple solution to me would be to place concrete blocks like this

Using a truck like this

Hey you bring up a good point. I consider it innovative because they are trying to develop a non-Microsoft owned IP story/lore behind the Stormgate characters, even if in terms of game mechanics they are trying to achieve “Starcraft 2 with a new coat of paint and business model”.

Beyond All Reason (open source with FOSS engine), Stormgate (proprietary but made by ex-SC2 devs) are separate attempts at what I would call innovating the RTS genre.

AoE2 DE by Microsoft is tried, true and super popular still but many aspects are still from the original game 20 years ago. AoE 4 seems to kind of be the attempt at improving the formula, seems okay.

The Starcraft 2 engine is amazing but now under Microsoft ownership, I was hopeful initially but it looks as though it will continue to be left to rot. If only they could give it a Halo makeover using the same engine that would be awesome.

Two other incidents happened this year. Highspeed trains and grade crossings don’t mix very well.

Can somebody find that site that says days since last brightline incident?

The mining situation is very sad to me. Money mostly from international sources, pretending to be Canadian by headquartering their mining company in Canada due to lax reporting rules, to operate mines outside of the country so as not to be beholden to Canadian labour law, and human rights oversight.

I’d trust a randomly-picked Minnesotan more than Kevin O’Leary to vouch for Canada.

I’m sure we can give the same security guarantees Ukraine got, in exchange for Russia similarly giving up its nuclear weapons.

Can this wait until Feb 1? Give Canadians a bit more of a chance to see the US get fucked first.

“They’re the same picture”

You are correct. That’s why I said specifically not accounting for filtering from the jury selection questionnaire, when extrapolating the ABC poll to statistics for a hypothetical 12-person jury. Of course the actual jury is not selected once and entirely randomly, but I was hoping to provide an interesting statistic.
