I liked this read when considering legal ramifications for hosting content. It is U.S. focused so it might not be applicable to someone in another country.

When you say the BIOS update works, are you seeing something on the screen? If you connect the computer to an external monitor do you see anything?

It’s a Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator, and based on the hood and red interior probably one of the higher trims like Rubicon. That’s the larger, 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen. It’s also the pre-facelift interior, so it’s either a 2018-2023 Wrangler/Wrangler Unlimited (JL/JLU) or 2020-2024 Gladiator (JT). I can’t quite see enough detail but one of the icons on the screen looks more like a pickup truck, so I’m inclined to say it’s a Gladiator. Someone else might chime in with more details.

I’m suspecting it’s a 3D render

Does that apply in Europe? OP says most European capitals have direct flights, that take 2-4 hours, so that probably puts this somewhere in Europe.

You bought a bunch of land with no plan for it??

It looks like it’s been farmed recently. I don’t know what the growing season there is, you might be too late to start this year, but if you can lease it to a farmer for this season that at least has the land be productive while you figure out your longer-term plan. That way you can put plans in place to start work when the growing season is finished.

Oh, this is OC?

Perhaps most impressively, the Mac Studio accomplishes this while consuming under 200 watts of power. Comparable performance on traditional PC hardware would require multiple GPUs drawing approximately ten times more electricity.

[…]

However, this performance doesn’t come cheap – a Mac Studio configured with M3 Ultra and 512GB of RAM starts at around $10,000. Fully maxed out, an M3 Ultra Mac Studio with 16TB of SSD storage and an Apple M3 Ultra chip with 32-core CPU, 80-core GPU, and 32-core Neural Engine costs a cool $14,099. Of course, for organizations requiring local AI processing of sensitive data, the Mac Studio offers a relatively power-efficient solution compared to alternative hardware configurations.

I wonder what a multi-GPU x86-64 system with adequate RAM and everything would cost? If it’s less, how many kWh of electricity would it take for the Mac to save money?

@Moredekai@lemmy.world posted a detailed explanation of what it’s doing, but just to chime in that it’s an extremely basic part of programming. Probably a first week of class if not first day of class thing that would be taught. I haven’t done anything that could be considered programming since 2002 and took my first class as an elective in high school in 2000 but still recognize it.

This is good to know; does it still work? I’m assuming with the anecdote involving KaZaA and LimeWire we’re talking Windows 2000, ME, or XP.

Does 2020 work?

I never pay full price for any of the games, they always have a few discounted and rotate through their full catalog eventually.

You’re torrenting from your phone?

No, the Mac Studio power button is on the back with most of the ports. Mac Mini is in the bottom.

Almost a Buddy Gator kind of vibe, meant as a compliment to both

Typically somewhere between 15-20%. I do a rough mental calculation figuring out 10% by moving the decimal, then either double that or figure out what half of that is and roughly add that amount to the 10% amount, then go with a nice roundish number (to the nearest quarter) in that range. Usually a little higher than my rough estimate for 15% if I’m on that low end just so my rough math doesn’t inadvertently shortchange the server.

I make my calculation based on the total with tax included. I know some people go on the pretax amount.

BONUS: If I’m doing a delivery service like DoorDash, I look up my distance to the restaurant and make sure the tip is always at least equal to the mileage. I used to drive for them and $1/mile was always my minimum. DoorDash at least would typically only kick in $2/delivery, unless there were bonus promos. Since the driver might not be at the restaurant I figure that’s probably enough to get them to the restaurant, then the tip will get them from there to me. Actually, at home my house is several miles from any restaurants, so I usually go $4 above that to make sure the driver doesn’t lose money getting back to civilization. If I’m at a hotel close to restaurants I won’t necessarily do that. If it’s something where I’d like to try to get the best service I’ll go higher; they typically offer the highest pay orders to their top rated drivers first.

For me (male) even turning 30 didn’t feel “old”; in my mind that was still basically in my 20s. When I turned 31, though, it hit me. Of course, it’s still not old, at most middle age, but hard to say you’re “young” anymore. But hopefully that means mature. You still have a lot of your energy and health, hopefully, but now also hopefully have a better understanding of what to do and how to make the best use of your life for your goals.
