I don't understand why cars don't have a secondary sound warning system that make no more noise than a bike bell. Use the honk when there is immediate danger and the bell when you want to gently advertise your presence. Buses have this why not cars?

Why do you have need an Ethernet and wifi pcie card? This appears to be already both of these features on the motherboard.

I think 64gb is still a bit overkill but why not.

AMD linux support for has just been a breeze these last few years. But Nvidia should work and recent changes might make them easier to deal with.

"Gamers Nexus, on the other hand, thinks the issue is more deep rooted and originates from a foundry-level fault."

  • The GN piece makes it very clear that this claim is not definitely true but is a line of inquiry.
  • Intel statement does not definitely exclude this hypothesis, the flawed CPU might need the lower voltage to work around the flaw.
  • The obvious question this article does not address is what will be the performance hit for the patched parts?

That's a bit annoying to see GN so grossly misquoted when Steve spends half the run time of the video explaining that they are not sure of anything at this point.

French pronounce the "ou" as is "tour". But you do you.

They make the grace arm cpu to pair with hopper GPU instead of AMD epyc and Intel xeon in data center products. They released a first version that replace these processors in their data center offering (formerly dgx). This is the announcement of the next generation of this offering Vera-Rubin will replace Grace-Hopper.

I don't think they have announced anything about bringing this offering to the consumer space.

The Outer Wilds might be the kind of games you're looking for.

And if you are open to a more linear structure there is FPS like bioshock which have amazing world building and have very light RPG elements.

There is also the "walking simulator" genre, with games like firewatch, gone home or SOMA. But it's also quite linear.

Hbomberguy has a 3,5 hours one about why Deus ex human revolution is okish and the original great. So spoiler for human revolution, but if you played both it will definitely scratch that itch:

"German right leaders vow to fight European right ICE car ban plans."

This is a European election year, maybe it's time to recognize the political positions and stop identifying the EU as some undefined force.

I have no experience about what you are trying to achieve, but rdma and related technologies (infiniband, qlogic, sr-iov, ROCE) is not it. These are network technologies that permit high bandwidth/low latency data transfer between hosts. Most of these bypass the IP stack entirely.

Infiniband is a network stack that enable RDMA, it's only vendor is now NVIDIA which acquired mellanox. Qlogic was another vendor, but it got acquired by Intel that tried to market it as Omnipath, but it was spinned off to Cornelis network.

Sr-iov is a way to share an infiniband card to a virtual machine on the same host.

ROCE is an implementation of the rdma software stack over ethernet instead of infiniband.

It's really stretching the adventure game definition but if you are open to first person games without combat with great stories I would recommend :

  • "the outer wilds" : really nice puzzles, good story, wonderful setting, definitely not linear.
  • "SOMA" : a little dark, engaging story, this was an amazing experience.

English weirdly use feminine for ships, so think of it like that. But no it doesn't achieve much.

I don't think it change the way we think about objects much, but probably unconsciously yes. For example, France itself is feminine and seeing some caricature personifying as a dude always feels weird.

Usage dictates the gender. And some recent words are more or less controversial: gameboy, wifi, COVID, Nutella...

When I think about the gender of a word I will usually derive it from a broader category. But that's not always obvious, for example Gameboy is a game console (feminine) but the words game and boy are masculine. COVID is a disease (feminine) but also a virus (masculine). And in the meme a washing machine is a machine (feminine).

You can't not use gender since french doesn't have neutral pronouns. But I don't think it's frowned upon for a non native speaker to make this kind of mistakes.
