Each console costs 40 grand? doubt

nerd excuse me the embargo has an exception for food and medicine

It's really easy you see, you just need to pass an inspection and get a written permission from the President of the US, the payment must be made in cash in US dollars before shipment and through some non-American bank, and the shipping company must go straight from a US port to a Cuban port and back with no layovers.

This is not a joke, it's what is actually written in the law.

Give Yandex a try, it's the only search engine where you can still just enter the keywords you think will be in the text you're searching for and it gives you pages that contain those keywords you typed instead of feeding them into an incomprehensible language model trained to collect ad revenue.

I also find it's a lot less censored for piracy than everything else.

I don't know if this is because Yandex is tuned for the russian language, or if it really does work like they used to.

Once upon a time if you pressed F1 on the desktop a full manual showed up that started with "how to use a mouse" and ended with registry hacks. It was contextual so if you were in the calculator it showed information about the calculator.

Today if you press F1 it opens Microsoft™ Edge™ with a Microsoft™ Bing™ search for how to get help with windows. The results include some shitty youtube videos that somebody uploaded with that exact phrase.

The card in the picture is of a kind that no longer exists: the basic, office computer GPU.

It got entirely displaced by integrated graphics.

So in a way they did get smaller, so small that they share a piece of silicon with the CPU. The only cards that remain are those that are so power hungry they can't share power and cooling with the CPU.

Michael Hudson made a career out of telling think tanks to read Marx.

This but unironically, double checking prevents errors and you make more mental connections when you look things up.

The true captcha is tricking the robot to believe you that the blurry red spot is a red light, that a bicycle is a motorcycle, that the typewriter is a computer.

You want clean data for your nightmare AI? Pay me. Lying to captchas is praxis.

They won't just roll with it, awwwyissss thinks there's an immutable "human nature" and that communism is not "compatible" with it. They think communism is anti-human, while they do not judge the current system as anti-human: it's easy to see the little they would do of any political impact will only serve to keep the current barbarity going.
