Re: Isn't there an Avatar Thread?
Smith, Your Celeron logo reminds me of good times. I want to say somewhere around 1998, during that weird time when CPUs were in slots, the bottleneck for overclocking was the level 2 cache. Since the main difference between Celeron and Pentium was that the Celeron didn't have any level 2 cache, it ...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
I'm not sure AI bunnies are okay. The whole reason the video is interesting is because it's fun to see bunnies actually doing that. If they weren't actually doing that, then... what's the point?

Re: Cell Phone
I really doubt the charger or especially the cable has any bearing on any problems. There's no such thing as "too much current" as it's the battery that determines the amount of current. (Although, some say that "fast charging" is harder on the battery.) Leaving a lithium ion bat...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
I highly recommend getting one with an inverter. When you ask for 50% power on a traditional microwave, it runs full blast half the time and off half the time. With an inverter microwave, it gives you 50% power all the time. It makes the microwave much more capable of doing things like defrosting, o...

Re: YouTube Junkie
Okay, Vinny. The video that dualstow recommended is two minutes long. Lex Fridman reviewed it positively AND donated $100 to the creator. Really the first 10 seconds would be sufficient.

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
1. Why is that never brought up? Prange is well-known. Cannot answer that. I was well-documented in the book. It was all new to me at the time that I read it. But that does not conform with this, which states early 1941. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/according-to-gordon-prange-whe-LhfIgMs3QOWBd8...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
I've never heard the 10 years figure either. Somewhere, probably this forum, I heard a theory that the U.S. knew the Pearl Harbor attack was coming. That's not impossible, but I just put it aside and never really took it seriously or thought about it again. Or at least, knew it might be coming. May...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
I agree. Obviously, Pearl Harbor has a tainted reputation, as it should. The U.S. was not a belligerent and anyway, was there anything particularly clever about it? I doubt many deaths occurred from the drone strike on Russia’s grounded fleet of bombers. Ukraine brought these drones in to Russia, l...

Re: "US States Likely to Defy US Downgrade to Keep Top Credit Ratings"
What you say makes sense but it seems that a municipal default is quite rare? Perhaps, but a default of an entity like the United States government has never happened. It might be impossible in theory. I should clarify that the United States have defaulted before, but not when using a system of fia...

Re: Forum availability
Okay, I've determined that we've been under a distributed "Slow Loris" attack. Having deployed specific countermeasures to that, I should no longer need to be playing whack-a-mole with IP addresses.
No idea why anybody would want to shut down this forum, though.
