I mean the fact this exists at all should answer that question…

Ancestry stuff has been pretty popular in the US for decades, DNA testing for it is relatively new but just the next easy step.

Yes, but not at the same level for the average person that doesn’t pay attention. Billie Eilish’s name will get more people to look. That’s what headlines do.

To be fair, asking for civilians to help place them isn’t a Constitutional violation, forcing them to do so is.

Either way it’s ridiculous and already well past the line of bullshit, bit that wouldn’t be a crime at all.

Someone never had to deal with mathematical proofs, only layman’s definitions.

All properties of a parallelogram apply:

• Opposite sides are parallel
• Opposite sides are congruent
• Opposite angles are congruent
• Consecutive angles are supplementary
• Diagonals bisect each other

AND

• All angles are congruent
• All sides are congruent
• Diagonals are congruent
• Diagonals are perpendicular
• Diagonals bisect opposite angles

Actually the opposite. Our eggs need to be refrigerated, but the process also means they spoil slower if properly chilled. Washing also removes contaminants from the environment where they’re laid, which is not very hygienic because they’re fucking chickens, there’s old feed, dirt and chicken shit everywhere regardless of the type of size of facility or backyard. Having them washed during processing means you generally don’t need to bother washing them at home, you can just use them.

It’s two different ways of operating, each with some advantages and disadvantages.

Ironically, one of the reasons we have to refrigerate our eggs is because they’re required to be washed in the factory farm process which removes a natural protective membrane.

That’s because when it comes to Apple, hypocrisy is the way of life.

Starlink provides service to areas where fiber is impossible. Like the middle of the ocean and actual rural areas where fiber runs could be tens of miles or more between homes. Those are area where no one will build out fiber unless the homeowner is paying for it themselves, the various government programs would never cover those actual rural areas despite what they claim. At best they might cover city outskirts for new infrastructure, where fiber nodes are already relatively close by. They’re never adding fiber to existing rural farms and ranches.

They are not a 1:1 service comparison. You would need to compare It to other satellite providers, and there isn’t a comparison because all of those are dogshit in comparison to Starlink.

There’s a reason it’s as popular as it is so quickly despite satellite internet in general not being new. The low earth satellite constellation means a massive difference in capability compared to conventional geostationary satellites. Multiple second latency, slow downloads nowhere near advertised double digit Mbps speeds, single digit Mbps upload speeds and often monthly data limits as low as 50GB per month are what the conventional satellite providers offer.

Agreed, but to be fair, looks like it started in 2023 in Mexico with a Cartel attack. Even with the bullshit, it’s still probably the better option unfortunately.

You realize that with a federated system they’re not just handling their own users right? They could defederate from the servers that host users causing issues, but that also means all of their users cannot interact with all those communities, without a choice. Lemmy currently only provides a sledgehammer when they really just need more fine tools.

It’s not just federated networks. It is anything with user interaction. Managing and moderating any sort of sizeable social media site is a lot harder than people think.

Fascinating how quickly you can forget the actual abuse when thinking about an abusive ex.

For random password dumps going through thousands of accounts it’s probably fine, but if you’re targeted for some reason and they get just a couple passwords. With even just 2 passwords, that system may be obvious already to someone looking to gain access to your accounts specifically.

Often this is because of those little shit pin connectors for the power button getting pulled loose. How has a better, standardized option not been made for those yet?

Crazy, thought for sure it would fail testing.

Still wouldn’t trust it personally after a failed stick from a matched pair regardless of what the test says though.

(used to have 2, one died)

That would make me immediately look to the RAM as the possible source or corruption. If it used to be a matched pair and one stick died, the odds of the other being on its way out are MUCH higher than normal. I would never trust that matched stick.

Similar issues even with just 2 DIMMs with some XMP/EXPO profiles not working on AMD systems because of board/CPU limits. It should technically work, but for whatever reason it just can’t handle it and speeds need to be dropped or the timings loosened a bit even though the RMA itself is rated for that.

Not that the higher speeds are even necessary for 90% of users outside extreme overclocking. DDR5 6000 is basically where you reach diminishing returns anyway, and that’s often where that limit seems to appear.

Yeah AMD’s memory controllers, especially DDR5 seem to have a lot more difficulty at high speed with 4 slots filled. I used to plan upgrades around populating 2 slots and doubling if needed a few years later, instead now you really need to plan to ignore those slots if you are needing memory performance for things like gaming versus raw capacity.

Dug into it, got into Memtest’s source code and discovered that the first pass is shorter on purpose so that it quickly flags obviously bad RAM. Apparently if you want to detect less obvious issues, you have to run multiple passes.

I thought it was common knowledge that Memtest needed to be run for multiple passes to truly verify there are no issues. Seems that’s one of those things that stopped being passed down in the community over the years. Back when I was first learning about overclocking around 2005 that was emphasized HEAVILY, with the recommendation to run it at least overnight, and a minimum of 10 passes.
