    The US embassy in Beirut is advising citizens to leave Lebanon on "any ticket available" https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c80xxeqel5po

    The F150 stood up better once they replaced the immediately bent drive shaft. The frame weakness is just fucking insane to me, I don't know how they got its towing capacity certified for 11k lbs. That frame was SO THIN, it was closer to an aircraft frame than a shitkickin truck frame

    If a CT had to make an emergency move while pulling a trailer, it may snap it's own ass off. Did you see how THIN the aluminum frame is??

    To contextualize Boeings statement that Berger is commenting on, here's Boeing in the beginning of the MAX crisis
  5. Captainant
    Boeing hasn't learned a single fucking lesson from killing hundreds with the MAX, and they've forgotten the lessons of Challenger Ignoring clear problems to push humans onto a known dangerous craft is just wrong

    Shittinhouse is getting the full leopards eating faces treatment as he's now being accused of being trans after reneging on trumpco

    Speaking of legal exposure for muskrat: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-sued-by-family-motorcyclist-killed-autopilot-crash-2024-08-02/

    That's genuinely a potential legal exposure risk for Xitter. There's been enough legislators getting deepfakes made out of them that I would not be surprised to see laws start to get passed regarding it

    I disagree, ARM is so customizable that if customized to the right spec frequently beats x86 in raw throughput and processing capacity - not to mention the lower power consumption. That sort of thing probably is going to live more in the datacenter than in end-user devices, but every hyperscaler is releasing in-house designed ARM processors that are often a performance uplift (if your code is ARM compatible). And in terms of client computing I think it's just a matter of time until Qualcomm and Apple build something that's good enough but cheaper than x86 that'll eat away at their base of sales. No doubt that HEDT will still be x86, but that's not really what ARM is meant for anyways

    I think the kids were raised thinking they were Argentinian, not American, considering that putin greeted them in Spanish. But yeah wow I can't imagine how those kids have got to be feeling right now. It's like something out of a movie

    think you could get away with something like "McCombs"? It would be UT-flavorful, but idk what the university's feelings would be

    Seeing the GOP completely short circuiting on the idea of someone with more than one ethnic background or identity was an incredible mass self-report

    Not sure if serious....

    This is the most impactful thread ever on Surly, and is about a real war and conflict that's raging, that has ties to sensitive US domestic political issues, and has somehow remained a high quality thread thanks to all the self-policing. You should probably not come into the thread being a goofball like that as a new user with a low post count, especially when that's the calling card of our new user creation page frequent flier trolls

    Lulz I guess they decided to cut into their billion dollar profit margin some instead of jacking up prices again after all the backlash. What a novel idea, companies using their existing operating margin to cover unexpected expenses instead of pushing onto their monopolized market! https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2024/08/01/centerpoint-energy-withdraws-request-to-increase-electricity-rates/

    Something tells me the rittenhouse fanclub would be less enthusiastic about shooting THAT pedophile

    I think Intel has stepped on a bigger pile than they realize with the 13th and 14th Gen issues. They're burning their HEDT users and denying RMA and warranty requests on items that Intel acknowledged were manufacturer damaged parts The above post is one anecdote, but I know a couple people who have had to completely rebuild their intel 13th gen machine and moved to AMD after constant crashes while using stock mobo profiles. I think other API improvements like direct storage access over PCIe are gonna be a bigger deal for workload scaling than the CPU/sysmem interlink. Most enterprise and consumer software are plagued with single threaded bottle necks that more often than not make data transfer take as much time or longer than the compute work itself

    Why not sign in on mobile web on your phone? It would get rid of those ads

    I mean, it's not like DoD and Raytheon hasn't sent a supersonic, GPS guided wreath or two to funerals before

    Imagine paying a $20,000,000,000 mortgage on your own fabs, and then contracting 3rd party fabs anyway because yours don't work
