I wasn’t comparing badness or abuse, I was comparing autonomy. In the US they have the option to use the legal system to fight against things they don’t want to do. Usually ineffective, sure. But the option is there. Not so in China.

No, but a “company” in China has far less autonomy from the government in China than one in the US. For some people, that can be stressful

Why not both?

The concern was that it uses a “liquid metal” thermal interface, and that if the system overheated while vertical it could migrate away from the hot zones. This is a potential issue with thermal grizzly’s liquid metal product, requiring occasional maintenance. Apparently the ps5 doesn’t have that issue.

While the understanding would be nice to have, I suspect it is more a lack of backbone than anything else.

But 0x80 is how you’d normally express 128 as hex. So it’s relevant. But deliberately confusing.

And hopefully you never will

It was IBM’s binary to character transform. DB2 can still use it if you configure it to do so. Or was at least as of the version from 1998 that I had to replace.

Lemmy’s own Poem for your Sprog.

I would have pegged EBCDIC for that, but ok

I sincerely hope that if they come up with a 128bit instruction set they call it “x80” to maintain backwards compatibility with previous set names and be deliberately confusing to everyone.

I dunno, wlxaa392a001f7d has a nice ring to it

Yup. Your body is hardcore. Too hardcore for itself, even.

This too. And if you must use an antipyretic, supplement with external insulation or heat.

Because your body can (and sometimes does) overshoot the mark and kill things it isn’t intending to kill with heat. It also uses up your stored energy meaning you must eat more and more often.

Better to make your body stop overheating itself, and trap heat with coverings. If you get too hot, it can be modulated by reducing or adding cover. And external heat like a water bottle can bring temps up quickly, and keep you at raised temps safely.

There is also the discomfort from a fever as well. Too much discomfort will lead people to make possibly bad decisions. Pain management is always something to keep in mind.

Thank you!

I was more referring to food safety, as neither vinegar nor acetobacter will make you sick. Unpleasant, sure, but safe to drink.

Alcohol can’t expire, expiration is a part of how it’s made. In most of these cases the expiration date is actually for the container.

If the container looks fine and nothing has gotten into it, it’s no more dangerous to you than alcohol normally is. Same goes for vinegar and many other similar things. For example honey can’t go bad in a sealed bottle, but the bottle can degrade and let things in.

They certainly have the element of surprise down. That ship is doing the three things you generally don’t expect a ship to do.
