ArbiterXero , to Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related in Psychiatrists aren't fulfilling the social contract that subsidized their training

More than the pay, the sheer amount of difficult paperwork make untenable sometimes

ArbiterXero , to Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related in Psychiatrists aren't fulfilling the social contract that subsidized their training

Damn those psychiatrists, it’s THEIR fault that the medical insurance is creating overly elaborate schemes to avoid paying out.

How dare they suggest that this isn’t sustainable.

ArbiterXero , to Streetwear in Wrong Answers Only: what is this style called?

I fly exclusively Boeing

Also entirely valid.

Not just for 2 years, XP removed it in sp2.

And even when it supported it, many versions wouldn’t let you use it, or would let you “see” it but not use it.

For basically the life of XP.

I’m not overly worried about a few random Linux distros that did strange things, nor raspberry pi’s. I mean I don’t know why you’d use 32 bit on an 8gb pi anyways, so it shouldn’t affect anyone unless they did something REALLY strange.

For the average user, neither of those scenarios mattered, especially back when the problem was at its peak.

2 years was a long time to wait to use the extra memory that Linux could use out of the box.

I honestly don’t even remember XP having PAE, but if you NEED the validation, sure, Microsoft EVENTUALLY got it.

Except that Microsoft removed it in SP2 LOL!

And all the home use versions of XP still maxed out at 4gb.

There could see the memory but couldn’t use it, oh I’d forgotten that!

Wikipedia was a fun read.

Yeah I acknowledged the shortcomings in a different comment.

It was a duct take solution for sure.

ArbiterXero , to Technology in Why we don't have 128-bit CPUs

Intel PAE if the answer, but it still came with other issues, so 64 was still the better answer.

Also the entire article comes down to simple math.

Bits is the number of digits.

So like a 4 digit number maxes out at 9999 but an 8 digit number maxes out at 99 999 999

So when you double the number of digits, the max size available is exponential. 10^4 bigger in this case. It just sounds small because you’re showing that the exponent doubles.

10^4 is WAY smaller than 10^8

32 bit CPU’s having difficulty accessing greater than 4gb of memory was exclusively a windows problem.

ArbiterXero , to Ask Lemmy in When a parent or guardian we trust beats or causes serious violence upon us: how and why do we "love" them going forward?

Sooooo, I have a ton of info here, but I’ll keep my point short and sweet.

Depending on the age, we HAVE to.

Because rejecting a parent is death. You’ll find that 7 year olds will make excuses for and defend abusive parents, because rejecting a parent is rejecting safety, housing, food etc….

And while that may be less true when you’re 18, some of that programming never leaves you, even if it should.

… so it just becomes a personal tragedy.

ArbiterXero , to Technology in Elon Musk has another secret child with exec at his brain implant company

Ahhh then I misunderstood.

Have a nice day!

Right but you’re missing the whole “you can’t separate sexual abuse from the power imbalance”

It’s like when a female guard has sex with a male inmate.

I believe that most of the time that happens, the inmate went after the guard. I also believe that if you asked the inmate that they consented to it 100%.

But because the power dynamic at play is so severe, you just have to hardline it and say that as the CEO it’s illegal for you to dip in the company ink.

Probably not worth jail time, maybe just lose your job and be forbidden from directorships/ceo for 10 years?

ArbiterXero , to Technology in Elon Musk has another secret child with exec at his brain implant company

Here’s the problem….

Because of the power imbalance you can never divorce the two, even if she chased him.

That’s not a moral judgement, just a reality that “perspective “ matters here and if she chased him and then decides 3 years later that he unduly promoted her to try and convince her to have sex with him, BOOM he’s screwed, because she’s got a valid point.

I don’t know the answer, but he’s definitely doing things he shouldn’t.

And let’s be real, he’s likely a VERY shitty dad.

ArbiterXero , to Privacy in Google is Working on a Recall Feature for ChromeOS

Well I give them credit for trying to be transparent with the server code (they made a press release about it just recently), but I worry that you may be right.

It could be the same shit.

I’d like to believe that Apple recognizes the value in privacy, given they’re making it a central part of their brand, and I know it’s been a big part of their tech up until now…..

But I’m also aware that they’re beholden to the same cash that corrupts everyone else.

Time will tell.

ArbiterXero , to Privacy in Google is Working on a Recall Feature for ChromeOS

Sooo that could be things like “address” fields on websites, which is mildly creepy, but not “screenshot every 30 seconds” creepy, but it’s certainly vague enough to make me feel uneasy.
