The last motherboard I had that could take processors from different manufactuers was a Socket 7 from the 1990's.
Anyone likely to upgrade their CPU probably has quite an old one. In which case they are also likely to want to upgrade RAM, better chipset, and other accessories (USB-C?), NVMe, etc.
Seriously I upgraded my CPU once without a motherboard change and considered it an incredible oddity and only did it because a friend was selling a quad core chip of the same generation as my dual core for cheap. I don't know anyone whose changed CPUs without changing motherboard other than a friend who was reviewing hardware and tried to keep a somewhat consistent testbench.
That is also not uniquely english. Sciency words seem to come from greek in most european languages. It's easier to have a technical conversation on chemistry with someone than ask them how their weekend was.
Nope, about 40% of Europeans all concentrated in few major cities live in apartments, and a lot of them are far from tiny. My own apartment is bigger than an English house.
But that is completely irrelevant. One thing that is relevant is the relative distances between population centres within Europe which is far smaller than that of the USA (not surprising given the population density over the country) and that typically means reduced commutes, even for those people who don't live in the town/city where they work.
It's good to hear though that you made the best of it. At the moment I'm working in another country to where I'm living. The drive monday and friday is the worst part of my life, though I find solace filling it with podcasts.
Yeah to confuse it the word is used for both in some other European languages, and means Lemon in others, however in the group of North and West Germanic languages, English is the outlier. All other North and West Germanic languages call a Lemon > Citron. It's almost like they borrowed this one word from the Romance languages to confuse the heck out of people.
Cool a CVE. I am not interested in the exploit. I am interested in evidence that he was not paid or a discussion of why from some source. I typed your CVE into Google along with the words "not paid" and come up empty.
I doubt they are as safe as the nuclear industry is trying to sell, but they are sure as shit safer than the 40+ year old BWRs
I would argue they are probably more safe than even they are trying to sell. Industrial processes have come leaps and bounds since the days of old BWRs across industries with a far lower incetive to achieve higher safety than the nuclear industry. With all the focus on the industry trying to sell itself as safe its one of the few areas where they have really taken the primary mechanism of inherent safety to heart.
This isn't a legitimate suggestion to use a Chinese phone. This is a passive agressive quip at the Americans for heaping shit on China only to have their own equipment allegedly tapped by a foreign power.
In modern cars. I could not do it myself in my Citroen. The mechanic had special tools and an endoscope. For a Reno, you need to pull off the bumper amongst other things.
No in "modern" but not in recent cars. There was a period where it was especially problematic, but there are several places now where regulations were passed requiring lightbulbs in headlamps to be replacable without removing the assembly or what is behind it.
Check under the bonnet of the latest Citroen of your model, you may find it is much easier to do now. Basically for everything between 2005-2015 you were screwed.
It's the inefficiency of the supply chain to you that creates a rather high minimum cost to anything.
Horseshit. It's a very deliberate action on behalf of a company that is able to provide a shitload of parts to most countries of the world with incredible ease.
I went from spending around $600-$700 a month on gas
Okay like seriously WTF! You use the term gas, so I assume you're American and living in the fantasy world of petrol pricing. I live in a different country to where I work and pay European prices for fuel and can barely reach half that when redlining my car down the autobahn for hours on end.
Do you drive an 8L V12 that is running rich and offering your services for Uber?
I'm still trying to figure out what market demand 5G is trying to meet.
Every market demand. You just don't understand the secondary benefits that generational steps have brought.
Loading Slashdot in 100ms instead of 200ms may not mean much to your eyes, but it will half the active high-power time on the receiver of your phone. It will also reduce the time spent in backhaul. You forget that freeing up congestion has significant benefits to consumers.
Then there's other features like multi-point connectivity to prevent dropouts, inherently lower power requirements on the radio which is one of the reasons you keep hearing "Internet of Things" advertised when talking about 5G. There's also talk of having a far higher maximum connection count per base station than previous standards which is odd because the range is actually reduced too, so they are definitely planning for many more things to be connected to 5G than 4G.
I did the exact same thing with my dog several years ago, and it cost less than $60.
You need to hold your dog up to your doorknob for it to unlock? What happens if the dog runs away? How will go work out at the gym if the dog is asleep?
So that's what happened IN the country, but what happened TO the country? As far as I can see nothing happened TO that country and they are doing just fine.
By the way complaining about genderless schools is something best left to those who aren't dominating local political stories with endless debates about who is allowed to use which restroom because everyone will sexually violate everyone else.
SandboxEscaper - isnt this the guy Microsoft refused to pay up (under bug bounty program) for previous privilege elevation bug found? bad move MS.
Link? I did a google search and found nothing about anyone refusing to pay someone by the name of SandboxEscaper. I did however find plenty of stories and comments about "irresponsible disclosure" and this guy being criticised by other security researchers.
By using an iPhone, this Russian celebrity has just told the world that the Samsung phone he was paid to use is the worst phone in the entire universe, that it's practically unusable, and you should probably avoid it.
Holy crap, hyperbole much? A more realistic interpretation is that she liked her iPhone and was just stupid.

The whole assembly is the 'bulb'. It gave me pause but we'll see how they do.
That's almost full circle to how the auto industry was in America in the 60s.

Just as a side note while replying I realized the food I grow and harvest I collect in a plastic basket.
At least it's not a single use plastic bucket. ....
I hope.
The full gym workout involves picking the dog up to the RFID reader and putting it down and then going home :)
Lets suppose this is a particularly bad commute of 90 miles (145km) one way.
Root cause identified. Most of Europe would consider that to be the actions of an insane person.

It says he uses the phones to talk to old friends
So Putin then.
I call bullshit on logistics costs when talking about companies which have such an incredibly optimised supply and logistics chain.
Same with warehousing. They don't keep a building full of old parts, and the same markup exists on something current as well.

It may be sad that this is the most intelligent comment you've made so far.
Someone might mistake it for pornography, you know.
It's a picture on the internet. Someone masturbated to it I guarantee it.

Nothing to do with batteries, stop freaking out about Tim Cook's strawman.
