It’s how I’ve always interpreted it. The oft-cited saying is “you can’t outrun a bad diet”

The thing he replied to is a modified copypasta, it was made as a joke

Unfortunately this is a separate issue. The main problem that is blowing up now is that the CPUs are rapidly degrading to the point of failure even with completely standard settings and normal usage. And ironically, boosting the voltage to solve the issue you’re talking about might then accelerate the degradation issue, because the leading theory seems to be that the high voltage that i9s use is frying the ringbus.

All around just a terrible situation for Intel and their customers

This isn’t the first time such a vulnerability has been found, have you forgotten spectre/meltdown? Though this is arguably not nearly as impactful as those because it requires physical access to the machine.

Your fervour in trying to paint this as an equivalent problem to Intel’s 13th and 14th gen defects, and implication that everyone else are being fanboys, is just telling on yourself mate. Normal people don’t go to bat like that for massive corpos, only Kool aid drinkers.

By hand you can feel that you’ve engaged the thread properly. If you just send it with a power tool then dealing with cross threaded fasteners is in your future.

I agree but I do have a little issue with the “wasting resources” part, that’s a very anthropocentric view to take. There’s an entire ecosystem of organisms that would love to use those resources, and in many cases leaving the carcass behind is better for that system than taking it away and depleting it of that biomass. There’s obviously a lot of “ifs” involved but I wouldn’t generalise by saying that because a human didn’t get to eat it the resource was “wasted”.

It’s unfortunate that our ancestors have left us with this kind of ecological trolley problem, where in order to keep the system balanced and prevent collapse we’re obligated to go out and kill a lot of creatures, but such is the world we’ve inherited.

Last I checked hexbear had something like 70% more total comments than lemmy.world despite only having a tiny fraction of the users. Sounds like bots to me

Yeah there’s not nearly enough damage to the back of the car for it to have hit so hard as to launch it into the air. Plus you can see yellow paint on the ground where the bollard was clearly laid over. OP is right.

They were springs, not shocks. Of course it was too stiff for exclusive use on a farm, it’s expected to do most of its driving on roads in China. The tires didn’t wear out, he wanted knobbier tyres for the farm. And you know what other vehicle always wore through its seat upholstery in 2 years? Nineties hiluxes. You know, the gold standard of rugged, simple reliability. And guess what, living on a farm those required a lot of maintenance too. It’s a machine, machines wear out with use even when they have Toyota badges.

These cheap electric trucks are a return to simple, easily serviceable designs that you’d think ol’ boys would be cheering for. Instead all they do is cry about it. It’s culture war brain rot

Really not good enough from AMD. I wonder if Intel wasn’t a complete dumpster fire right now if they would still cut off the fix at Zen 3 (I doubt it). There’s really no reason not to issue a fix for these other than they don’t want to pay the engineers for the time to do it, and they think it won’t cost them any reputational damage.

I hate that every product and company sucks so hard these days.
