I'm using a sandwich style case with the PCIE port at the top of the case and the 3 scews for the slots are at the bottom. It basically pushing the card up and backwards into the PCIE extension cable's slot. No ass sag, but I can tell there's a limit to how much it would be able to handle like that. I've got a 7900xt (not xtx) so it works for what I need right now.
I have been wanting to build a desktop for a while now, but I held back because I plan to move overseas in near future, and build it there, which I know is the right thing to do....
Stop looking at big cases. You can build a small form factor PC in a case that's a quarter the size of a mid tower case. You can literally put the computer in your luggage and take it with you when you move.
I'm not sure how you're getting to $2000 in your build price either. A radeon 7900 GRE is an incredible 2k gaming card for ~$550, and your video card should typically be about half the price of your build.
I was hospitalized for schizoaffective disorder and given a high dose of liquid medication every night to knock me out. I can’t remember the name of it but I think it originated in Spain. Google isn’t helping me and probably now thinks I am trying to smuggle drugs into the US. Lol.
I think Sony wants out of the physical console market. They just don't know how to do it. The consoles are sold at a loss, but the games sales are massive returns on investments.
If they can double their sales by releasing on steam at the cost of 30% per sale, they still come out ahead, and can save all the R&D cost on developing a physical console, plus the loss from each individual console sale.
Things like passwords, access to the interior of your home or vehicle, access to your business files, and things like that are not your identity and normally require a judge to sign a warrant
This is exactly it. If I get arrested and they confiscate my house keys as part of entering jail, they don't have automatic implicit permission to search my house.
Ubuntu (or Canonical, their parent company) has gotten more pushy with their paid service. Personally for me, I'm moving off of Ubuntu to Debian pure systems or Arch because when I ssh to my Ubuntu file server, the MOTD tells me I can pay for some kind of premium service and get 35 additional security updates. So, that's it. That's my line in the sand. Don't advertise to me on my terminal
(And then there's all the shit about Snap being installed by default, and I'm just at a point where I only want installed what I want installed, etc)
But you do you man. If Ubuntu works great for you, stick with it. You may change your mind later down the road, you may not. As long as you're happy with it right now that all that matters.

I'm agreeing with most of what you said, but Google has been working on AI for a long time. Google's purchased DeepMind in 2014 and kept it as a separate subsidiary, and started their own AI division inside Google itself in 2017.
They also developed a machine learning processor called the TPU, which has been used in their data centers since 2015.
So to Google, AI really means All In. Which is particularly concerning since they don't even have the best performing AI after a decade of research with a bottomless pit of money.
My guess on #2 is Europe is increasing posturing against Russia as they continue to escalate the situation in Ukraine, so this accomplishes:
signaling to Russia that the UK is not a passive nation
Will be popular with the mid to late life Midlands voters who don't really have anything to be proud of in their life other than "we used to be an empire", without having to actually shoulder the burden.
Will be unpopular among the 18-35 year old voters, who are historically the lowest turnout demographic, and will actually have to shoulder the burden.
For what it's worth, I actually think forced conscription (with alternatives) is actually an idea that can work well and help build a better more cohesive society where all people despite their differences participate in their "citizenly duties", but it has to be done right: military service can be an option, as well as community service in things like fire departments, Emergency medical services, even working in government services like the NHS or community centers that have options for mentor programs, etc. Basically anything that teaches young adults to give back to their community which can hopefully turn into a lifelong habit. But you can't start the policy as some bullshit military posturing. It has to come from a place of "we're doing this to make our community better". Also, you can't make day 1 implementation only start with the current young adult generation and have everyone older than them grandfathered out. EVERYONE shoulders this. Anyone voting for it needs to know they're all going to be participating in this (pro-rated based on age up to 65 or 70, but still those above should be encouraged to participate despite no obligation). But that probably sounds like communism or something.
Yeah, it does, and yet hardly any young voters showed up to the polls when the torries wanted to flush the kids futures down the toilet with the Brexit vote. So they've got lots of historical data to suggest young voters don't matter.
That's fine. Garlic burns really easy. You shouldn't add it until 30 seconds before you add your tomatoes, or stock, or whatever your main watery components are going to be.
I guess for some people the dumber you are the more impressed you are with your own ability to fool a child. Probably because that's the last stage of their child's life where they can still pretend to be smarter....

Minors are people. It knows what clothed people of all ages look like. It also knows what naked adults look like. The whole point of AI is that it can fill in the gaps and create something it wasn't trained on. Naked + child is just a simple equation for it to solve
Data is transmitted in packets. Each packet has a packet header, and a packet payload. The total data transmitted is the header + payload.
If you're transmitting smaller packet sizes, it means your header is a larger percentage of the total packet size.
Measuring in megabits is the ISP telling you "look, your connection is good for X amount of data. How you choose to use that data is up to you. If you want more of it going to your packet headers instead of your payload, fine." A bit is a bit is a bit to your ISP.
Personally, I think it tastes like a lemon that went bad. Like, kind of an uncanny valley thing. It's close enough for me to think it's one thing but far enough away from me to know it is definitely not what I want.
Hi there, I'm a registered nurse in Phoenix, Arizona and I'm seriously considering moving abroad because this country is driving me insane for a lot of reasons.

In the UK visas are awarded on a points system. You get X number of points for having a college degree, Y points for it being in a certain field, etc. from what I've been told, nurses and doctors immediately qualify for all points required to get a visa just based on profession
However, as someone that moved to the UK 13 years ago, I don't consider it a great destination. Prexit really screwed everything up. Having an EU passport would have been an incredible complement to my US passport, but now a British passport is no more useful that my American passport, especially since most of my travel is to the European continent. Also, the NHS is being gutted continually so in all id just say it's not the most desirable location if you're in the healthcare field.
At minimum, I'd look at countries that are properly in the EU, which includes Ireland. Other countries in western Europe would be great as well I think, depending on what kind of life you're looking to live in. Something I've noticed is that generally Europe very quickly transitions from city to countryside. In the US you'll get suburbs that stretch for dozens of miles past the core infrastructure of the nearest major city, where as in Europe it's usually straight to farming fields and two lane roads.
France, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain and Germany would all be excellent locations to start a new life in healthcare I think. Each of those (except the Netherlands maybe) would expect you to be working towards fluency in their language though, so if you're not interested in learning a foreign language that is definitely something to consider - which is why Ireland and Dublin specifically is so desirable to Tech companies and has been for the last 15 years.
In general I would say that as someone in the healthcare field, you do have a job that is valued highly as far as getting a visa is concerned in Europe.
