As a user and fan of kagi, the problem with kagi is that it reveals how badly degraded the web is.
The vast majority of original content is now in one or another social network or on discord. News articles are an exception, though the news has its own problems. Some wikis still exist and are actively maintained, of course, but not a ton. If it's a topic that's academically studied you might find information in papers, but those have poor web visibility and are better located with specialty tools. LLMs seem to be quite good at locating papers, though.
When you run a website where 80% of users are ad-blocking, and less than 0.5% donate, you quickly realize why these centralized websites (which turned apps to force ads) are the only survivors.
I think it's less expense-driven and more user-driven. Most forums I frequented in the 2000s were funded by donations. The userbase, though, disappeared. The network effects of facebook and reddit and such are hard to overcome, and worse when you consider how google search prefers to surface either social media sites or blogspam/content theft sites.
This is a terrible, awful idea. Playing videos on the side of trucks is what I would come up with if I was intentionally trying to cause accidents. Even if they only play when stationary, it's a terrible idea.
Meanwhile in the U.S., 'tested, working' seems to mean "I plugged it in and the power light came on", unless there's evidence of more comprehensive testing.
Aren't steam account suspensions pretty much limited to criminal activity? Any other kind of restriction doesn't prevent you from playing the games you have licenses for.
For the most part, yes. There have been rare instances of Games being removed from Steam though (not just the store) and more common cases of games being significantly altered compared to the version you paid for (e.g. removed soundtracks due to licensing disputes).
Stores already uniquely identify customers with membership cards/accounts. They're also doing their damndest to link those more closely - see how Kroger is shifting from the Kroger card to digital coupons that require you to sign into an account.
They could simply offer the worst prices if you don't use your card (Kroger basically already does this), so you're effectively required to identify yourself.
I need to try this. Typically I make my mapo tofu with dry-fried mushrooms and mushroom stock (I've found this much tastier than a pork or beef-based mapo tofu), but I don't always have the mushroom preparation on hand and punching up a pork mapo tofu with fish sauce would be much more convenient.
Red Boat fish sauce, Lee Kum Kee Oyster Sauce, and Pearl River Bridge light soy sauce - all standard stuff. I use just a little ground pork for that flavor, and I’ve found a little chicken stock and dash of white pepper really help as well
I'm having the same problem, except it's crashing my dang PC. Actually, it's only crashing the GPU, but that's pretty indistinguishable from the whole PC crashing in practice.
Now I'm wondering if I should ground my chair to the shelf my PC is sitting on.
As pretty obvious evidence this is static related, it only happens in the winter.
I've had the same problem for a couple years - specifically the GPU crashing. Had a very hard time isolating the issue - seems like a mix of static + the EMI spike OP talks about (it happens most reliably when I stand up quickly from my desk chair).
My guess is that, like OP, we're both getting interference in the our DP connections, and that that interference is in our cases causing the GPUs to crash.
Haven't had a chance to try ferrite cores yet but that was going to be my first test.
other things not encapsulated in the parts list: My PC sits on the bottom shelf of a foodservice-style wire shelving rack. My motherboard's I/O shield is integrated and wasn't a perfect fit into the case.
The DP cable is, probably, in-spec. I usually buy Cable Matters or BlueRigger.
I do wonder if ferrite cores would help.
edit: The only similarity I notice in our builds is lower-end ASRock b650 motherboards.
Eh, YMMV. I was using rocm for minor AI things as far back as 2023 on an "unsupported" 6750XT [0]. Even trained some LoRAs. Mostly the issues were how many libs were cuda only.
You say locking oneself out, but I decline to consider any situation where a password can be set but not later entered as one where the user bears even a modicum of fault.
I remember a website that silently removed everything but the first 8 characters from the "password" field upon registration but somehow didn't do the same on the login page. It took me several hours and several password resets to actually log in after registration, since for some reason the trimming happened client-side and only when typing the password manually (and I was pasting my password from a password manager).
In a similar vein, I remember encountering a site where the frontend enforced basic complexity requirements ala “use at least one number and one symbol” but the system would silently drop all non-alphanumerics when it saved (presumably in some kind of failed conversion on the way into the backend DB). So setting a password like “foo_bar4!” would become “foobar4” which was surprising. What blew my mind though was when I figured out the stripped password worked to log in, which was how I eventually figured out what was happening, escaped the reset flow, and generated a compliant password.
Do we even control the bill? You could buy a annual-sub-paid-monthly, be unable to cancel it because you're locked out of your account, and then get taken to collections when you terminate it on the payment side.
