Came to post the same. Seems like the most awkward possible way to phrase that.

Your “Disks not included” suggestion, or heck, just “empty” would surely be better.

Also yawn

Interestingly, looking at Gentoo’s package, they have both the github and tukaani.org URLs listed:

https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/app-arch/xz-utils/xz-utils-5.6.1.ebuild#L28

From what I understand, those wouldn’t be the same tarball, and might have thrown an error.

Sharp also make great commerical-grade printers that are 100% Linux compatible, we’re using these at work: http://global.sharp/products/copier/products/bp_70c65/index.html

They don’t really make anything small enough to be a “home” model, this looks like their smallest printer: https://global.sharp/products/copier/products/mx_c358f/index.html (and that’s around $1000, if you could even find someone to sell you one).

eSATAp! What a wild combination.

Not actually a terrible idea, even if it frequently was limited to powering 2.5" drives due to a lack of 12V. Some had extra contacts for that, but most that I saw didn’t.

The estimated training time for GPT-4 is 90 days though.

Assuming you could scale that linearly with the amount of hardware, you’d get it down to about 3.5 days. From four times a year to twice a week.

If you’re scrambling to get ahead of the competition, being able to iterate that quickly could very much be worth the money.

And spatulas. Don’t forget the spatulas.

Fortunately, there’s an extension that solves that: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/ajgodcbbfnpdbopgmfcgdbfhabbnilbp

I’ve never seen them in a store here in New Zealand. I’ve been trying to grow them, but while the tree is doing well it is yet to produce fruit.

I did manage to buy some at a supermarket in Berlin a few years ago while on holiday, they were packed like cherry tomatoes in a clear plastic punnet.

The egg-shaped fruit you’ve got are frequently the “Meiwa” or “Nagami” cultivars, OP’s round fruit may be the “Marumi”.

I’d be curious to see how much cooling a SAS HBA would get in there. Looking at Broadcom’s 8 external port offerings, the 9300-8e reports 14.5W typical power consumption, 9400-8e 9.5W, and 9500-8e only 6.1W. If you were considering one of these, definitely seems it’d be worth dropping the money on the newest model of HBA.

I’m definitely curious, would only personally need it to be NAS + Plex server for which either of the CPUs they’re offering is a bit overkill, but it’s nice that it fits a decent amount of RAM, and you’re not forced to choose between adding storage or networking.

Single-sided drives can be up to 4TB though, no?

I bought one of the really sturdy kind (weighs about 40kg / 88lb). Uprights are solid 100mm/4" rounds of pine, none of that hollow cardboard tube nonsense.

My XL-sized void loves to haul arse into the room and leap right from the ground to the top level (around 1.6m / 5’3" from the floor), which makes the thing rock side to side fairly precariously. He hasn’t knocked it over yet, but some day I’m sure he’ll come in too hot.

I was going to write a rebuttal. And then I decided that the “zero points” speech from Billy Madison will suffice.

The phrase “cutting off your nose to spite your face” comes to mind.

What sets some of Boox’s models apart from the other e-readers is they’re full Android devices; you can install most apps from the Play Store. Perhaps not as great for battery life, but a world apart so far as functionality goes (and you can even install the other e-book vendors’ apps if you have existing purchased content).

In the “pocketable” size category, Palma which is a phone form-factor device (I have one of these, has been great), the Page looks very much inspired by the design of the Kindle Oasis, or the Tab Mini C has a colour e-ink display.

I recently bought a Boox Palma, which is a phone-size Android device with a real E-Ink display.

It’s not a phone (WiFi/Bluetooth only, no mobile radio), and with 4-bit greyscale it’s definitely an adjustment to use with a lot of apps (it has per-app DPI & contrast controls to help), but they’ve done a lot of work on the refresh rate to make it feel responsive.

It even has midrange-phone specs (SD 6xx series CPU, 6GB RAM, 4Ah battery), with full Google Play, so it’s a quite usable Android device overall. Like most modern E-Ink devices, has a CCT warm-to-cool frontlight, so great for night-time use.

Now would I want to use it as my only, everyday device (if it was a phone too)? Probably not. Could I? Almost certainly.

Colour E-Ink is still quite limited (in contrast, and resolution), but I expect the patents on that are quite a bit newer and we won’t be seeing so much movement in that area so soon.

And even apparently from name brands.

My sister bought a low-end Samsung tablet (some years ago admittedly), and it NEVER received a software update in the 3 years she owned it. Not a major update, not a security patch, nothing.

I’d hope they’ve gotten better about that, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Those of us who had to develop websites and make them even vaguely functional in IE6 haven’t forgotten.

Dark times, those were.

This video about ex-Soviet RTGs of questionable radioactive source choice is quite a good watch

NASA apparently used RTGs for deep space missions only, while in the same timeframe the Soviets scattered them all across the countryside, then promptly forgot about them.

Genuine question here: wouldn’t the “thoughts & prayers” truck be filling up at the landfill, rather than emptying there?
