Still need video cards to become reasonable again first though.

That's not going to happen...

They might get better quickly as currencies collapse.

Eh the miners are going to find "the next big coin" and go with it from there.... but we already have a thread on that.

I doubt it, the value of mining just keeps going down and down.

@mlnews said in PalmOS Finally Going Open Source:

Sort of. The last Palm OS, webOS, was supposed to go open source in 2012 under HP's stewardship. LG then bought the product and now, webOS is finally open source and available. It's still an ancient OS that probably no one wants to use, but it's the thought that counts. Oddly, LG still uses webOS in their products.

I loved the Palm Treo4 that was my first smart phone. Nice for nostalgia sake at least.

I had one of those.

Remember that MailBear is always here, always working on the latest technology.

Then MailBear needs a webpage.

That is surprisingly disappointing. Server 2016 is supposedly the best thing ever. . .

Of course it is, if you get paid to support it!

Good thing to know that we can have faith in the people who control our identities as Americans.

Improved PXE? Apparently I ordered the rpis we want a week early, good PXE would be a great thing here!

Movie theaters love it since all the profit is in the food anyway.

That'll be $22 please.

For a goddamn popcorn and a small soda!?

$22? Ouch, I'd so much rather be unemployed and living here then employed in most other areas of the country. That's like $9 here.

Got to be $40 here.

It's just a matter of time until every other country in the world has fully auto vehicles of all kinds, and the US is till debating tail-light law for human driven vehicles. . .

Be happy he was able to live as long as he did, when he was diagnosed, he was given only a year to live. He obviously lived for 5 decades after that diagnosis.

Congrats.

Only worthwhile in climates that are always cold. . .

Anywhere that you want to run a heater.

@mattspeller said in ZTE Shows Off Immersion Server Liquid Cooling at MWC:

I would really need to see this myself to believe it. Even with mineral oil you need some kind of heat spreader. I can see this working no problem with a modest hunk of copper on the CPU but bare? Yikes.

They show them working with no spreaders on the video. Mineral oil doesn't cool anything like a two phase. It's not "even with mineral oil", because it's among the bad options. It moves heat well, but moves physically very slowly. The two phase moves heat SO quickly.

cute little bugger.

@popester said in China ends presidential term limits - The government is defending its vote:

I am missing the "Obligation" that the crown has to liberty.

It's called nobles oblige and is the singular requirement for granting liberty to others in all forms of government. People can argue all they want about its lack of utility, but history shows it works, and the alternative is "zero obligation." So even if it doesn't work well, it's better than nothing.
