Americans tend to buy the most car they think they can afford.

Hell, Americans buy the most car they can finagle a loan for, independent of if they can or can’t actually afford it.

It wouldn’t be surprising to find that a good portion of Tesla buyers are stuck in the trap where they owe so much on it that there’s no way they could afford the hit to replace it, because they can barely make their payments now.

For real: I’m using a 38" ultra wide, and if you had told child me that a 38" monitor would be the smallest display in the house I’d have told you that you’re full of shit.

She works at Google, not Yandex.

Though I’m sure Google could manage something equally mysterious.

If the past few years have taught me ANYTHING, it’s that at least half the “gamers” are cheering the deportations on, so uh, yeah, anyway…

Yeah it’s more hilarious: he’s not hooking up with anyone, this is pure turkey baster going on.

Not that I disagree, but putting it in the hands of a foundation that’s beholden to corporate money isn’t exactly going to be the solution to “eventually messing up stuff”.

Basically every one of them made in the past 4 or 5 years?

Some are better than others - CP2077, for example, will happily use all 16 threads on my 7700x, but something crusty like WoW only uses like, 4. Fortnite is. 3 or so, unless you’re doing shader compilation where it’ll use all of them, and so on - but it’s not 2002 anymore.

The issue is that most games won’t use nearly as many cores as Intel is stuffing on a die these days, which means for gaming having 32 threads via e-cores or whatever is utterly pointless, but having 8 cores and 16 threads of full-fat cores is very much useful.

Even if he did, how could you tell the difference between the holes dementia has made and the holes a worm would make?

You hope, anyways. Given how shit’s going, I’d be entirely unsurprised if someone said that and actually meant it.

While that’s true, “I’m sorry that you got upset at what I did” is in no way actually an apology or an admission that they might have been wrong, so…
