Their crime was daring to aid Palestinians, d’uh?
ETA: /s — because this is the internet and sometimes intentional sarcasm needs to be pointed out.
So this is what he chose to do, instead of attending the ceremony for dead soldiers in Lithuania?
I remembered reading somewhere that ASRock started off as ASUS ‘budget’ brand - but had since been spun off into its own entity.
I thought that meant that they were sold off, and were a completely separate company now - but it looks I was wrong, they’re still a subsidiary. 🙁
MSI have dropped AMD as a GPU partner as of this generation (funnily enough - also the same generation they had proven to be their highest selling!), and their next generation of PSUs have dropped PCIe 6+2 for whatever the current HPV12 implementation is, so they’re in my shit-list too.
Gigabyte’s warranty support has been ass in the past (at least in my region), and their 3000-series GPUs were prone to overheating due to poor quality thermal pads. Oh, and their PSUs were sub-par and prone to exploding!
I think ASRock is the only ‘Tier 1’ brand (that I’m aware of) without massive controversies in the past few years?
I’d love an anonymised list of the passwords used, out of sheer curiosity. Just how safe/smart are these people, that are entrusted with running the world’s (currently) most powerful nation?
How many “password1234” or “asdfghjkl” would we find?
Just another case of admission by omission.
Ethereum is probably the most well-known of the ‘proof-of-stake’ cryptocurrencies, which don’t require massive resources in order to generate/validate transactions. It made the switch back in 2022 I think?
I imagine selling t-shirts would be against the Marxist/Leninist ideology of Lenny’s devs?
But given the volume of non-tankie instances now up and running, I’m sure some enterprising admins would be willing to give it a go.
…and as long as they’re ethically sourced (no sweatshops), high quality (materials and GSM), and reasonably priced (accounting for the other two factors) - I’m all for it!
producing war machines that fight each other for territory to build more war machine factories until you can’t expand anymore for one reason or another.
As seen in the retro-documentary Z!
Just think of it as admission by omission.
Instead of the ‘Taxed Enough Already’; the left needs the ‘Tax Elites Already’ movement!
Four seasons is a pretty good run for this type of show, IMO; at least if it’s as well planned and thought out as The Good Place (not to dissimilar concept) was!
I think I’m also only around ~2 seasons in, as I cancelled Prime a while back… might have to fly the black flag and catch up on S03!
While it’s rare, they do exist. Primary example being the Porsche Taycan with its 2-speed transmission.
Additionally, any EV conversion of an ICE vehicle where the electric motor is placed in front of the drivetrain can also take advantage of a transmission.
It’s pretty common knowledge how these billionaires leverage the value of their stocks/assets as collateral against loans, in order to avoid having to pay capital gains tax.
Even though it’s not liquid cash, there really isn’t much to preclude them from taking out cash loans up to like 70-80% of their value if they ever wanted to (not that they would, as cash depreciates in value due to inflation).
So while you are correct that if they ever had to liquidate their shares the value would plummet significantly - unless something catastrophic happens and the value of those assets plunges well below an acceptable level to their financiers, it will never happen.
If you owe the bank a $100 and can’t pay it back, that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100m, that’s their problem.
Aljazeera | How Elon Musk funded his $44bn Twitter takeover
A curious read, seems he spent $27bn in cash on the transaction - so he ‘only’ has loans on ~$17bn, across a swathe of investment groups, wealth funds and banks. Basically, I don’t think a margin call is imminent.
Which is a bit of a shame, as it would be somewhat hilarious to see it fall into the hands of a bank like Chase - being such a toxic asset at this point, to know whether they’d try to salvage/pivot it (ideal, but unlikely) - or just sell it on and write off the loss.
Oh don’t you worry, they’ll still get vaccinated using whatever blend a competent government (EU) decides upon in collaboration with the WHO.
You know that they will still get the best quality healthcare, right? In the taxpayer dime no less!
Unrelated, but what’s the source show for this meme?
Oh, they’ll be made an example* of - don’t you worry about that.
I hear there’s a good chance for an impromptu vacation to El Salvador for any of those administrators who can’t trace their full lineage back to the Mayflower.
