Intel's stock coolers were always a joke and people usually switched it out for something else. It might be good for them to bring some decent stock coolers to the entry-mid level models like what AMD does.
But really doesn't make sense including a stock cooler for the i9 lineup though, since that monster of a CPU will defeat probably every mid-level air cooler and would require a beefy Noctua or something similar...
You might want to consider cropping all the human images to be square as well. It's a dead giveaway when all the AI images are square and the human ones have varying aspect ratios.
Initially, I set out to have more time for my passion projects, which meant spending less time working for money, which, in turn, meant lowering my upkeep costs. I started unsubscribing from one thing, and then another, until, one day, I noticed that it has been days or weeks since I'd used money.
I wondered if anyone else was doing this thing, and I found freganism, "The Man Who Gave Up Money", etc.
And digging deeper into this, I realized several things after pondering them for a while:
a) I'm now operating in large part on my karma, and using money is almost always a karma negative. When I exchange one dollar for something, I'm setting in motion a whole chain of events to which I am karmically connected, most of which are negative.
b) When I work for money, all I get is the money. If I work for an employer for five years, all I have at the end of those five years is the money, which I am, honestly, not capable of managing well, something I have accepted about myself after so many years. On the other hand, if I abandon money, I have time to work on my relationships, something which pays infinitely better.
Anyone else happy with Gnome? It's good to have an opinionated DE that just gets out of the way.
It launches apps, provides me with workspaces, and abstracts all the low level details away so I can focus on actually using my computer.
If people want to customise every minute detail of the themes they shouldn't be using Gnome/GTK. The devs don't have to cater for everyone's needs, they are allowed to focus on a target audience.
I'd be happy with it if the developers listened to the users. GNOME 3 had a good balance of "getting out of your way" while still giving power users what they want. I had to leave GNOME 40 within hours because of its unbelievable changes to the UX, and I say that as someone who used to be a pretty big fan of the desktop.
That's a Scandinavian thing I love as well. I remeber that a Nokia CEO once paid the equivilant of a new Porsche 911 for a speeding ticket in Helsinki.
On the other hand, I like it when my tickets are basically only table change for me. Egoistics aside, scaling tjose fines with income would be much fairer than a flat fee.
Kind of gives police departments justification for profiling wealthier people. The country already has a serious problem with policing for profit, and you can bet it will only get worse if they can issue $10k+ tickets to individuals.
As it stands now, if you get a BS ticket from one of these towns[1], you're out a few hundred bucks. Scale it up to a month's wage. In a lot of these places, you can't even get a fair trial because the local court is in on the action.
California solved this by making speed limits not specified explicitly by the CVC unenforceable if they aren't backed up by a traffic survey. This will still result in places where the speed limit drops and local enforcement may try to profit from the drop. However, it stops local governments from reducing the speed limit arbitrarily for the purpose of creating a revenue stream.
Towns trying to juice out money from drivers happen at very least in Italy as well which is not Northern Europe at all.
At least in NE this scales up for the wealthy as well. In Italy's case if you are rich you can just ignore speed limits (to a certain degree, driving licenses have points and you lose some of them when caught doing something illegal).
Right now, due to probation fees and interest, it's in the police's best interest to ticket poor people who pay more and cannot fight back. Having the police target wealthier people is strictly better, since they have the power and incentive to fight back against BS
But we should also take steps to fight policing for profit.
What I'm thinking is that everything already happens on the serverside in Minecraft right?
IIRC, even local/singleplayer games start a server on your machine and then the client renders whatever the server tells it too - so it seems like maybe not as much work as it looks on the surface, especially with as well understood as Minecraft's client/server protocol is.
I'm starting to think Apache isn't bad once again after pulling several hairs out of nginx config complications over the last 10 years.
If I just wanted to alias system path of '/some/path/' as 'https://domain/another_path/' in the URL, I don't know how to do that... Is it 'alias' or 'root' and should it have a slash at the end or not??? I usually just give up and symlink the directory on the system.
Same with proxy_pass on ending slash that is confusing.
And the priority of 'location' block is a nightmare until you Google enough to figure it out every time I configure nginx, not to mention the cryptic convention of ~ or ~^ and the likes and the fact you can't effectively nest location blocks.
There's an overlap in features between Nginx and HAProxy, but one isn't necessarily a replacement for the other. Nginx is a full webserver, HAProxy isn't a webserver.
