Laser tanks are impractical. What if the enemy wears mirrored shades? That laser goes right back and kills you instead. You don't want your 100 million dollar tank to be taken out by a pair of Ray-Bans.

Dust. Dust never changes.

Also, Ubuntu is moving towards using snaps for everything so they're pretty much the successor to PPAs.

Soon they will launch their new product, Copy of New Teams Classic (work or school) (2).

CUDA was there first and has established itself as the standard for GPGPU ("general purpose GPU" aka calculating non-graphics stuff on a graphics card). There are many software packages out there that only support CUDA, especially in the lucrative high-performance computing market.

Most software vendors have no intention of supporting more than one API since CUDA works and the market isn't competitive enough for someone to need to distinguish themselves though better API support.

Thus Nvidia have a lock on a market that regularly needs to buy expensive high-margin hardware and they don't want to share. So they made up a rule that nobody else is allowed to write out use something that makes CUDA software work with non-Nvidia GPUs.

That's anticompetitive but it remains to be seen if it's anticompetitive enough for the EU to step in.

"One of them is responsible for unspeakable atrocities and the loss of millions of lives. The other made some tweets that negatively affected stock prices. It's hard to tell which is worse."

True, but those are not the people the men's is making fun of. It makes fun of perfectly healthy people who decide they need gluten free everything because they heard that gluten is bad and they can't do any research on how and why. Same with vegans who are only vegan because it's trendy (and who probably cheat every other meal because a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition).

You can use a regex to do basic validation. That regex is .+@.+. Anything beyond that is a waste of time.

Okay, nicotine is now a Schedule II drug. You need a prescription to buy anything with nicotine in it.

You don't need to; the Brussels effect has you covered.

It's cheaper to sell phones with replaceable batteries worldwide than to design the same phone twice for different markets. So most major manufacturers will probably just sell EU-friendly phones everywhere just like when the EU required USB charging ports.

Also, we load the JavaScript from five different CDNs, some of which are horrifically slow today. We also make sure to only load some of the scripts after others have been successfully loaded so uMatrix users have to refresh the page a dozen times.

Süddeutscher: Hui! Hahaha! Heut ist eine Gaudi und alle sind dabei! Party Party Party!

Norddeutscher: Ich sitze mit meinem Kumpel auf einem Deich, niemand sagt etwas und wir sehen der Sonne beim Untergehen zu.

Beide: Das ist Lebensfreude.

An sich ist deutsche Bierwerbung gar nicht so uneinheitlich.
