I lived in a city in New Hampshire and rode my hybrid bicycle to work year round. Rain, snow, ice, cold, all fine.
Eventually I got a 125cc scooter, but it didn't have adequate traction in the snow. It was also a lot colder than the bicycle, although that wouldn't have deterred me. So my bicycle was my main form of transportation for the 3-4 months of the year there was snow on the ground.
Getting around on the scooter was a lot faster than the bicycle though.
When I lived in a semi-rural town, our cable ISP offered a 3mbit down / 1mbit up plan for $15/month and it was great. Now that I live in a very rural town, the cheapest DSL plan is $70/month, and it's a problem.
The people saying that they don't add a television plan don't understand what being poor means. That's like finding magical money by not buying $6 coffees.
Oh, no shilling here. I was just genuinely trying to understand the disparity between the hype/price and the apparently identical single core performance -- I had to be missing something. I also hadn't looked into the cheaper Ryzen processors, and for me they seem like a good deal.
Seems like I was just living in the past where there was some relationship between price and single thread speed. Apparently now, it seems the single thread speed is pretty flat across the price ranges, and you pay more for the extra cores if you need/benefit them.
Personally, I don't, so it's a good time for me to buy fast processors for not much money.
But the single core performance seemed underwhelming on the new AMD processors, especially for the price. It seems like virtually everything I do is limited by single thread performance, with multiple cores mostly being good for multitasking.
Am I missing something?
I've gathered from story after story that mechanics failing to do ANY real diagnosis is a huge problem. I've especially heard this for motorcycle dealers, because I hang around those forums.
Ruling out the fan for example is normally pretty straightforward. Usually there's a simple temperature switch that turns the fan on and off. You can heat this up with specific temperatures of water and check the resistance values against spec. The fan itself can be tested by bypassing this temperature switch.
Or even simpler, they could have measured (or even felt) the temperature of the radiator and seen that it wasn't getting hot enough to activate the fan.
Clearly their strategy was replacing the cooling components one at a time until the problem went away. In my opinion, you should get your money back for all the untested, uninspected parts they replaced.
What? That's ridiculous. Repairing a 15 year old car is going to be nearly identical to repairing a less than 5 year old car.
By some miracle, the data on the ECU is *usually* pretty accessible (thanks to the OBDII standard). Motorcycles are a different story, and you'll likely need a proprietary tool. If the ECU itself actually fails (rare), you replace it like you would a mechanical part.
Replacing a failed water pump is going to be exactly the same, and is purely mechanical with no computer control.
I don't disagree that mechanics tend to be terrible at actually trying to diagnose things.
Your example of failing to diagnose the cause of a loose bolt is pretty silly though. But finding one that's causing a rattle probably would take hours.
The problem I'm having in rural America is that the only high speed internet option is $80/month for "25" Mbps down, 1 Mbps up. I would happily have much slower if it didn't cost as much.
I can accept that maybe she had a good reason for misconstruing where he was coming from.
The part where I got lost is when she doesn't realize her mistake, that she just attacked one of her fans who was trying to have friendly discussion, and apologize.
I could be wrong, but I think the wires need to be rated for the amperage, not the voltage. Whatever the amperage you're drawing at 5v, you can divide by 48 for 240v (plus a bit for conversion inefficiency).
But if you give a convicted criminal the choice between "Wear this estim hat" or "go to jail for 10 years", you're not violating their right to bodily integrity, are you?
Having such a choice would mean more severe sentencing in order to coerce people to wear the hat.
Thinking that North Korea is now backing down because they created a military threat to themselves is absolutely backwards. The threat has always been there.
Now they have teeth, and no one's going to dare invade.
Even if you were REALLY paranoid and didn't want your encrypted data exposed, I expect you could run two hard drives (2.5" and M.2/MSATA) and disable them as needed in the bios setup.

That's abhorrently misogynistic to suggest that female hormones are causing a lack of enthusiasm for dangerous space missions.

Worst case, there's public libraries.

It seems for instance I could get a Pentium G5600 and outperform the AMD 1950X in most cases, while saving a ton of money.

It's pretty obvious that the current system encourages content producers to rehash the same things over and over, not create new works.

Yeah, it's to nourish his fragile ego.
I have a strong suspicion that you are, in fact, abusive. And that they'd have some illuminating stories to tell.
Just wait until you find out what your car is assembled with: http://www.nord-lock.com/bolte...
Also, the most important thing to know about a prospective SSD is: does it have power loss protection?
Last I checked, only Crucial and Intel did. Which for me made them the only viable options, even if they aren't the fastest.
I take claims of Apple products being fast with a grain of salt. Remember their claims about their IBM processors significantly outperforming Intel?

This is what a reasonable response to Deroir would have looked like.
Too bad for you that you chose such a fragile business model that this mattered.

But if you teach critical thinking in schools, they'll realize that school is bullshit.

How is two low latency broadband options a monopoly?
Yes, this.
