  • Its braided

  • The first step is using correctly sized ethernet cables. Dont use a 12 ft cable for a 3 ft run. There shouldnt be more than a foot of slack in general. You dont need to "tidy" excess you dont have.

    Then, for when you do need to tidy cables, use velcro ties, not zip ties. Ideally, you still label all the runs, especially the long ones. Seems a bit redundant for 3ft, but its still helpful.

  • Most ethernet cable is UTP, literally "unshielded twisted pair." Shielded cable is much more expensive and less physically flexible due to the metal jackets, so people dont tend to buy it by default.

    You can argue the jacket is shielding, but mostly ethernet cable is not shielded. The braiding will cause problems, but likely very minor ones based on the length of the the run that CRC will compensate for.

  • Its not 110 billion up front. Its setup to hit 110 billion in several stages if they hit certain metrics like AGI or going public.

    The first stage is something like 35 billion based on reports. 15 billion from Amazon, then 10 billion each from Nvidia and Softbank. Looks like Microsoft sat this round out since they arent name checked:

    All of this adds a little more anxiety to OpenAI's alleged $100 billion funding round which, as The Information reports, Amazon's alleged $50 billion investment will actually be $15 billion, with the next $35 billion contingent on AGI or an IPO:

    Under the terms of the investment, which are still being negotiated, Amazon would initially invest $15 billion into OpenAI, these people said. The other $35 billion could hinge on OpenAI reaching AGI or going public, the people said. The proposed Amazon investment is part of OpenAI’s current funding round, which could top $100 billion at a valuation of $730 billion before the financing.

    And that $30 billion from NVIDIA is shaping up to be a Klarna-esque three-installment payment plan:

    In addition, SoftBank and Nvidia each plan to invest $30 billion in three installments through the year as part of the round, said the people. Microsoft had been expected to invest low billions of dollars, The Information previously reported, but it could invest a smaller amount or none at all, according to two of the people.

    Still a fuckton, but as usual Altman is hyping something that hasent actually happened.

  • I mean, that dude makes money each time you dont cook. Of course he's going to pitch "kitchenless" homes as a real thing.

    Its abject bullshit, but also a clear cut case of "follow the money" to understand stupid reasoning.

  • ICE Arrests Beloved Fighting Game Community Member Ludovic

    Jump

  • If he came into the US as a child in 2002 and signed a "voluntary" removal order in 2005, it sure seems like ICE conned a child into giving up their rights, something they continue to do today.

    People opting not to enforce that despicable act for 21 years is laudable. The fact that Trumps ICE are instead enforcing it should have been mentioned, along with a roaring condemnation of how we treat vulberable children in this country.

  • [North Carolina] Mom of 3 who vanished 24 years ago while Christmas shopping found ‘alive and well,’ authorities say

  • So you owned an uncommon phone with uncommon features in 2002, and youre using this to assert that these features were common at the time?

    At a time when only 20-30% of people had cellphones, having one of the 5% of those cellphones with a camera or GPS was pretty uncommon. It means at any given point, less than 1% of people would be able to take your picture, much less post it to the "nowhere" that was social media at the time.

  • Camera phones existed, but were very uncommon. Same with GPS. Nokia "candy bar" phones were the most common at the time.. It looks like 2002 was when nokia first added GPS to its phones.

    I think you've mashed 2000-2010 together into one big "cellphones had cameras and GPS before smartphones" year in your head. They were still very basic in 2002, most barely having web browsers.

    All of this glosses over the fact that cellphones were not ubiqoutus in 2002, and the ones that people used at the time rarely had camera/GPS, much less any concept of a "phone app" or "social media." It would have been much easier to "get lost" both actively and passivly back then because you werent surrounded by people brandishing data harvesting/broadcasting devices all around you.

  • Good catch. I should have said smart phones. Cellphones were around, but think calls/basic texting, no cameras, no internet, no GPS.

    It was still somewhat common to not have a cellphone back then, so tracking people was not so ubiquitous as it is now.

    Myspace launched in 2003, so it didnt exist. Friendster technically did, as it looks like it launced in march, 2002. Id still say that no, there was no social media of note in 2002, unless you want to talk about usenet/IRC. Neither of the latter were in common use or likely to help assist you finding someone who didnt want to be found.

  • You dont do any of that, for one, or you do it under a fake name.

    It was also probally easier 24 years than it is now. No cellphones, no social media, very basic digital cameras, almost no survelance cameras.

  • Harley charged Harley prices (15-25k) for bikes that should have cost 5k. Thats why no one bought them.

    Emotercycles still have range issues compared to gas bikes, with most topping out at 100 miles, but other modern brands are either selling them at 5k-10k or have implemented tech like battery swapping to make that range viable. Some companies are doing both.
