They're going in alphabetical order: A - Alchemist B - Battlemage C - Celestial (Future gen) D - Druid (Future gen)

Hey we complained about all the numbers in their product names. Getting names from the D&D PHB is… actually very cool, no complaints.

Yes, I understand that. I'm saying it doesn't read as easily IMO as (modern) NVIDIA/AMD model numbers. Most numbers I deal with are base-10, not base-36.

The naming scheme they are using is easier to parse for me so all in the eye of the beholder.

On other hand considering Geforce is 3rd loop of base 10 maybe it is not so bad... Radeon is on other hand a pure absolute mess... Going back same 20 years.

I kinda like the idea of Intel.

You aren’t using excel or sheets I see?

Yeah, the 93 between Kingman and Nevada is absolutely terrible. Last time I was through there (9 months ago) they were doing a small bit of paving but it wasn't in one of the rougher areas.

The unfortunate part is that these aren't for sale yet and we don't know how they actually compare to the existing LG 5k or Apple Studio display. It is nice to see more options coming to market.

> The unfortunate part is that these aren't for sale yet […]

They were announced 'all the way' back in June, and I've heard rumours of October 31 being the ship date, so perhaps check back next week.

In the US, B&H is taking pre-orders, so presumably it can't be that far off:

How do they plan on collecting on that if the money is moved out of Brazilian accounts?

According to the article, they've previously collected by just withdrawing money directly from X's and/or Starlink's local accounts:

> Brazil previously withdrew money for fines it levied against X from the accounts of X and Starlink at financial institutions in the country.

I saw that, but I was curious once X decides to pull the money from the accounts (assuming they can, which I guess is a big assumption at this point).

Starlink is still active in Brazil.

If the fines don't get paid those Space X ground stations can possibly go away too.

Could they get sued in a different country? I know when Argentina defaulted on bonds a naval ship was impounded in Ghana https://archive.is/Q7pB9

SpaceX has physical infrastructure in Brazil worth millions. They can start there, just confiscate the Starlink ground stations.

A long time ago I knew a guy that uploaded a Counter-Strike patch to his ISP personal hosting and ended up on the official mirror list. Ended up taking down the ISP iirc.

Is there an official source for this yet?

I got an email with exactly the content they described, didn't have a link to any page about this.

The text of the email I received (I assume you got something similar):

Yes, that's the same email.

What do you mean? This is what Universal Clipboard does.

No, just sign into both of them with your iCloud account

It obviously uses "a program, a hack, or configuration" (taking these from the original reply), just that they are written and pre-installed by Apple, and work seamlessly.

But from the end-user perspective it doesn't really. Nobody consciously sets the universal clipboard up, it comes as part of the cohesive whole of the Apple ecosystem. That's my point. Whether or not you want to dive deep into nerdland of if it's a program or not is besides the point, because for the end-user none of it matters, and that's why the vertical integration is nice.

Probably true. The whole vertical integration does rub me the wrong way though, it's just uncomfortable to have one company own so much of my personal computing infrastructure, especially one that is so unfriendly to "tinkerers" like me.

Yes because the 10% market share that Apple has in computers is really worrying…

If I buy an Apple phone, tablet, and computer, that will be 100% of my computing infra, which is all that matters to me.

Then don’t buy a device that doesn’t meet your needs? I don’t go shopping in the big and tall store expecting to find something that meets my needs when I am five foot five.

I thought this happened because the claw was pretty heavily damaged during deployment, only a small bit of it was actually able to grip.

While not directly related to your question, back in the day (like 2002-2003 or something) Jagex added fatigue in attempt to combat botting. The solution was an addition to the botting client that encoded the captcha image and dumped it into an IRC channel. There was a second client called Sleepwalker, iirc, that read the encoded captcha images from IRC, a user would type the captcha text, and the client would put the decoded text back into the IRC channel for the bot client to pick up and use. There was basically a credit system so you had to spend some time typing others captchas so yours would be decoded by others.

Ah, yes, the APC was the best way to die in cs_siege
