No idea why you’re getting downvoted. HDMI 2.1 supports 10-bit 4k 144hz with no stream compression. So the answer, unequivocally, is that yes it can.

DisplayPort 1.4 requires DSC (stream compression) to do the same. DisplayPort 2.0/2.1 supports higher bandwidth but it is not common on displays at this point in time.

People have other understandable reasons for preferring DisplayPort over HDMI (Open vs. closed standards), but there is no disputing the fact that HDMI currently outclasses DisplayPort in terms of bandwidth and thus the limits of what kind of signals it can carry.

Lemmy is just bursting at the seams with miserable fucks like this.

Of course they were victims, but they were victims of their imperialist government at least as much as they were victims of the US if not more so. The Japanese military led an aggressive, savage campaign. They raped and brutalized with impunity. They tortured POWs with impunity. They carried out disgusting medical experiments and vivisections with zero humanity. Perhaps you are familiar with the rape of Nanking? Unit 731?

They sneak-attacked the US and pulled them into the war, and even after they were completely defeated they would. not. stop.

It’s a very complicated issue. Debate will go on forever about whether or not the US nuking Japan was the “right” choice. It will never end because it is based on hypotheticals about what might have happened in an alternate timeline, and what the true motivations behind it might have been.

One thing is very clear though: Japan’s government and their military were beat and they should have surrendered but they did not. Their military continued to operate their systematic campaign of torture and rape.

The US had atomic bombs and responded by using them. Was it the right thing to do? Who knows. Japan’s government fucked around, repeatedly, and their citizens found out.

Putting it all on the US is a level of cope beyond anything science could have imagined.

The selling point for M365 Copilot is that it is a turnkey AI platform that does not use data input by its enterprise customers to train generally available AI models. This prevents their internal data from being output to randos using ChatGPT. OpenAI definitely does use ChatGPT conversations to further train ChatGPT so there is a major risk of data leakage.

Same situation with all other public LLMs. Microsoft’s investments in OpenAI aren’t really relevant in this situation.

In your mind, do you really think that is the intention here? Seems more like a convenience for people who use both Linux and Windows.

I have to use both so I welcome it.

Yeah, my parents didn’t do it, and I ended up getting phimosis in my early twenties and having to get it done then.

On the one hand I do appreciate that they left it up to me, but on the other hand it was intense pain for a couple of weeks and at the time I was really wishing that they had just gotten it out of the way.

For me, it’s a wash. That may or may not be typical but it’s probably slightly better that they left me the choice? Can’t put the foreskin back on the penis I guess.

My son was born with hypospadias, so I didn’t really have a choice with him. Had to get it done or he would be peeing out of the bottom of his dick forever, which saved me and my wife a difficult decision.

All of this said though, I personally prefer being circumcised. Cleaning is way way easier, and in my own personal experience I have a lot more sensitivity when doing anything fun with my hog. My partners have also preferred it, and some of them shared with me that they had previously gotten UTIs from uncircumcised partners.

Like I said, I appreciate that my parents left it up to me, but at the same time I think the genital mutilation trope is way overblown in the majority of cases. Not all of course.

Seems to me like they are targeting people who likely have access to assets that can be easily stolen and hard to track.

It’s in the MOTD. Very easy to permanently disable, but still annoying.
