It’s the hands. not enough fingers.

if /dev/null is fast and web-scale, i will use it!

that pig’s a pretty mean bastard

I guess you might want to link the psu to a bunch of relays that controlled by the gpio, and use it to deliver medium amounts of power to various peripherals. i guess lots of motors or maybe fairly powerful led lighting arrays, or weak heaters , comes to mind.

So what seemed most daft to me is exposing the 3v and 5v lines on that breadboard like thing, but not using the psu’s +/-12v lines - that could let you run 12 and 24V stuff. plenty of space to allow for a bunch of relays and some connectors.

But even so its a strange form factor for that.

Does “activist group” not have soulseek? smh

Honestly thou i don’t really know what a spotify is, sounds like a dogging app.

Once again proving that programmable RGB lighting enhances performance.

But isn’t half the point of cutting edge tech news to echo hype louder and louder until investors pile in?

Its probably evidence of excess market power and abuse of consumers. In the UK that’s “enforced” by the competition and markets authority.

The way it works is cma does a lame investigation, the regulated parties lawyers all ‘prove’ their clients did nothing wrong. cma goes away.

cma did a review of supermarkets about 15 years ago, let them off scott free. Now they’re pushing it even further.

TBH for fresh fruit and veg and stuff there are still proper markets in most towns - so people going to supermarket are just lazy. SO I do partly blame the consumers here for not supporting a diverse economy.

That’s essentially their defence to the CMA, the consumers do have options so it can’t be abuse - they choose to give us market power because the consumers can’t be bothered to shop around. And there is something to be said for their arguments - they were given the market power by consumers - so the consumers are at least partly to blame for this situation. Consumers are benefiting from reduced shoeleather costs that may exceed the losses due to this.

CMA doesn’t do sophisticated local market and transaction costs analysis though. I’m sure there are areas where price differentials exceed transport costs - meaning there is significant lack of local consumer choice. But it takes a lot of number crunching and fine-grain geographic data to prove. I personally think they shoudl take cars out of the equation and use public transport costs+time only to figure local market size - but that’d be easy for them to argue out of court. All they have to do is allow say a 30 minute drive, and generally that will mean there is no local market power concentration.

Because it’s not actually “half life three”. It’s (half life)^3. One of the hardware constraints is that has to be played on something cubic.

It’ll depend on the futures contracts. They’ll have price clauses and, get-out clauses , resale clauses and stuff, so it’ll come down to lawyering.

It’s unlikely that journos know the contract details. Buy clearly any OEM without a futures contract already in place does not have access to low prices.

And any OEM with cheap stock and contractual freedom to resell would seriously consider parting out and selling off stock at the windfall price.
