Yes, it was the cheapest graphics card that could decode 1080p H.264 video in real time (and the acceleration worked in the Flash player). The 8500 GT could also do it but it was never popular. It made a huge difference when youtube became a thing.

The card in the picture is of a kind that no longer exists: the basic, office computer GPU.

It got entirely displaced by integrated graphics.

So in a way they did get smaller, so small that they share a piece of silicon with the CPU. The only cards that remain are those that are so power hungry they can't share power and cooling with the CPU.

I've got a hang-over pet policy from when I was a baby leftist to abolish rents on land, but with a twist: Any exchange of money for the use of a property is a sale. It's absolutely financial neo

The idea being that if, over time, you pay the landlord for maintenance + the value of the house, you get the title for the house, and this is the law and you can go to court, prove that you've paid for rent over however many years, and get the title of the house.

If you leave before that there'd be some system where the "rent" payments are split equally and you get the value back from whoever is currently living there, because you're selling your share to them. Since the payments are split equally minority "shareholders" leave first. If nobody lives there but you're paying taxes and maintenance, you still paying for the house so you accrue shares of the house.

I think it might be palatable for neolibs, destroy the value of homes for rent-seeking, but preserve it for construction, which is what libs always complain about when you talk about abolishing rent.

It sounds exactly like that. Perhaps you ran firefox as root at some point?

I'd say:

• delete the cache:

    
rm -rf .cache/mozilla


  

• set yourself as the owner of everything under ~/.mozilla:

    
chown -Rc $(id -u):$(id -g) ~/.mozilla


  

• make sure you can write to everything under /.mozilla:

    
chmod -Rc u+w ~/.mozilla

  

If you get permissions errors, run them with sudo.

Another idea is to press F12 to open the dev tools, go to the network tab, and refresh the page. If something is not loading it will be highlighted in red and it will tell you the reason.

It might be some addon messing things up, you can launch firefox with no addons with firefox --safe-mode.

Does it happen in a "private" window?

Last time I checked, you could only unlock Huawei phones through exploits. And while you can re-lock Xiaomi phones, they will always show the screen telling you the system is corrupted on boot. They were having supply chain problems with resellers flashing malware to their phones.

I'm more partial to Xiaomi.

Sure it's commendable that Huawei is a sanctioned Chinese cooperative with custom made CPUs pushing the boundary on 5G, but Xiaomi phones have very good specs for the price, big batteries, they are well constructed, easy to repair, the bootloader is unlockable, and they usually have snapdragon CPUs that work great with custom roms.

Duckduckgo shows you the full res image from the search results and the main link is to the image itself.

Yandex for reverse search, it works like you remember Google used to work.

Windows will not boot because it will be missing boot-time nvme drivers. I don't remember how I solved this.

On top of that the bootloader will be confused and you need to reinstall it with arcane commands in the command prompt of a Windows recovery environment.

The built-in Windows recovery environment is also missing drivers and has a confused bootloader, so you must use a USB drive.

Windows needs a propietary app to make a USB drive from their ISO, because there's a file in the ISO that's bigger than 4 GB and the installer only supports FAT32 on USB drives. dding doesn't work. Alternative solution: delete this file (it's install.wim, you only need it if you actually want to install) and copy contents of the ISO to a FAT32 partition.

The only diagnostic you will get for any of these issues is a blue screen that sayw "sowwy I can't boot :("

When I came upon this it took me like 6 hours to figure out how to convince Windows to boot.

He actually gave away both of Argentina's Mi-171E helicopters

Michael Hudson made a career out of telling think tanks to read Marx.

yewtube gives you 720p H.264, which your laptop almost certainly can decode in hardware.

YouTube gives you higher resolution VP9, which your laptop probably needs to decode with the CPU.

Install the h264ify extension to force youtube to give you H.264. You'll be limited to 1080p.

This but unironically, double checking prevents errors and you make more mental connections when you look things up.

I really like Engels' Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. It's short and it introduces you to historical materialism very gently by contrast with utopian thinkers. It's 3 chapters from the Anti-Dühring, which follows the same line but much more in depth and I also greatly recommend it.

Also, why call Palestine by the Arabic name of their military, and Israel by the English name of the country? Why not the Palestine-Tzahal conflict?

There are dirt-cheap cards (10 USD) that just wire a PCIe x16 connector into 4 M.2 PCIe x4 sockets. They only work if the firmware of the motherboard lets you split the x16 into four slots, and the CPU supports that many lanes.

It's complicated, ASUS has a huge table that you have to cross-reference with the CPU you have installed and figure out what will work.

The only other option I think could make sense is a thunderbolt adapter like https://www.owc.com/solutions/express-4m2. If you're making a NAS then I really don't see the point of PCIe storage.

You can't do an archive with a single disk. The cheapest way to archive is to buy a SAS2008 card (less than 100 USD with the SAS to SATA adapter), flash it to "IT" pass-through mode, and do a pairwise RAID1, btrfs, zfs, minio, or whatever on top of your 8 SATA ports.

Even with rotating disks performance is adequate because you've got 8 of them.
