i will invest in bullet proof helmets on wish, a 9 mm got through but......***invest***

Did you just watch demolition ranch or something

Cuz I think I saw that same video

Hey how do I update to windows 96

I thought my GTX 1660 was big

the RTX 3080 is 3 or 4 times the size

Yep

3080 = electricity bill go brrr, so xtra thicc cooling is required

Yeah... and a thicc PSU

and a thicc UPS... mine flips out if i plug my AV receiver into it though, and would probably detonate if i plugged my laser printer into it

Not sure if all laser printers are like this but mine for some reason draws over 10 amps when a print starts. I tripped the breaker multiple times till I figured out what outlets were on which circuit.

I've got a thicc ultrawide display to go with my 3080. but it has 2 stuck pixels, one right in the center.

They all are, they have a Fuser drum which needs to get really hot really fast

mine draws 1500-1600W when starting up... i have to have it on its own circuit

Even using the green mode that slows down the printer, didn't fix the startup draw.

In my new apartment I have my laser printer hooked up to the same circuit as my toaster oven in the kitchen with a long extinction cord. Those two devices are the only thing on the kitchen circuit so I know as long as I only use one at a time I'll be good.

even my main circuit in my room gets fairly loaded, since i got 5 monitors, 400-450W pc, AV Receiver thats practically a space heater, and a few of ineffecient laptops on it running as servers

along with a dozen miscellanious power bricks

but i dont mind the power draw because it gets cold here and theres no gas hookup, so its all electric heat anyways

Any chance all that equipment will be used for decentralized communication when they kick us all off the internet?

lol if u have a few ham radios or cb radios lying around sure

try conditioning the lcd

well i got somewhat of a decentralized network in my house with a bridged wifi connection because i couldnt be assed to run cat6 under the crawl space, so i just flashed advanced tomato on a router i got for 4 dollars at a thrift store

nice

but if we're talking miles + range of decentralized i'd probabbly have to find an old satelite dish and use that to direct the wifi signal to another dish, theres a few videos abgout doing it online

yeah and that equipment can be abit expensive

How about piggybacking off the starlink network?

yep unless you dumpster dive old dishes, then its free <:KEK:795742276549607456>

im 100% starlink has encryption, you can't just "piggyback" off it for free

unless you consider a big tech company like Tesla to be decentralzied

they are a lot better than other big tech for sure, but only time will tell if that lasts

for real hopefully something good will come out of this

out of starlink?

i hope it makes satelite ISPs stop being asses

If there are any people graduating with (or already have) a PhD in Computer Science who are interested in becoming a professor at a university, please contact me.

I been interviewing a bunch of software engineers past few weeks for a position on our team

There have been so many with master's degrees + 0-1 years experience

That have been pretty awful

have been way way way more impressed with candidates that have BS and 2+ years exp

aint that the truth... like when they replace your boss who had worked there his whole career and knew the people with some dumbass with a degree in business management

One of my reasons for going for a master's in cyber security is because most of the jobs that only need a bachelors are bottom of the barrel and I was getting paid more doing IT for my high school during the summers after graduating high school. Other that pay like $15 an hour want a bachelors and 4 years of experience which is insane.
