id start by using cooking tools that require low maintainance and skill (e. g crock pots, microwave, airfryer is next step up)

after that youd probably want something that minimuzes fire hazards, so id probably start by cooking using induction cooking ware. since it itself does not generate a fire, the only way you could actually do one is if the physical food itself burns.

start with soups on induction cookware because itd be very hard pressed to start a fire when youre cooking some soup on it.

most problems are state level problems, so generally unaffected, but any interstate, constitutional amd international problem is up in the air

the main benefit on the performance increase from zen4 to zen 5 is the reordering of the cache and chip layers allowed them to clock the cores higher, as one of the biggest bottlenecks for older x3d designs was clocks, due to the chip internally insulating a lot of the heat, so their clocks were stepped back from their non x3d counterparts.

the 9800x3d base and turbo clocks are a generous step up from previous gen, and likely the biggest contributing factor to the performamce increase when reviews drop.

mixture of housing supply shortage, empty homes, fucked investments, a bit of zoning laws, and nimbyism, and airbnb

housing supply shortage

younger generations want to live in cities because thats where both employment and “fun” is reletively speaking. the demand is very high for limited space.

empty homes

in some areas, there are homes that are completely empty, some due to negligence, inheritance and some just to artificially decrease supply. to put an example, San Jose, CA legitimately has more empty homes than it does homeless.

fucked investments/nimbyism

some people see housing as an investment instead of putting it into stocks. the investments keeps proces high because its seen as profit rather than a basic necessity to live. people who own houses will use all their power to prevent more houses to be built because more home lowers procing because of more supply.

zoning laws

some places, they restrict building to strictly residential or strictly commercial building. as WFH becomes more mainstream more land needs to be made as residential land. or remove the zoning alltogether

airbnb

airbnb gets you more money in popular areas. it takes away a potenial home for a local worker in favor for maximum investments, which is bad for the city, because it circumvents hotel taxes, and takes away potential income tax from someone who would have lived and worked in the area.

if you live in the bay area, youd understand who works in tech, and whose a tech bro, very easily.

linux has 2 really good target audiences people using it as a near chrome book like experience, and ultra advanced users who want fine control of the system.

its everyone else in the middle that needs to play how much do i have to tweak in order to do what I want.

Part of the reason why when people were saying they wanted competition to unseat x86, I didn’t want it to be ARM based, because I knew 100% that ARM would jump in and do some shit to rake in more profit and negate all the potential cost savings to the consumer. As long as theres a single(or in the case of x86, essentially (but technically not) duopoly) that controls all the options for one of the options, then it’s not a good form of competition.

they do compete, its just users weigh DLSS and Raytracing far more than they should, and devalue VRam in long term situations

for example a 7900 GRE cost about the same as a 4070, but more people will buy the 4070 regardless

its not all, but most devs just tick the box to implement the steam DRM so it feels like all because barely anyone checks if it does or not.

the reason people use it is because theyre educated in the skillset, and likely use it for work because their workplace mandates it.

not everyone is a freelance artist/video editor. Those have much more freedom on their tool choices.

NAND density is always useful for the ultra portable end, be it used in applications like phones, portable gaming devices, microcontroller boards and such, where space or pci-e lanes is often the limiting factor. when the capacity of nand grows, options become better, as nand usually doubles in capacity per chip.

parking lots would require the government to own said parking lots. its why you often see them at schools (because its government funded)

think of it similar to consumer examples like adobe products. there are a lot of people/industries tied to it where they can start to charge ludicrous prices. while there are alternatives, there is also a cost attached to retooling and retraining people with the new tech.

that requires changing the political opinions of people due to usps being a governmental service.

thr manifest v3 version is basically ublock origin lite, whoch has extremely limited control of what you can and cant do.

well its usually not in your basement, but should be outside in a home sized battery cage (similar to those used in parking lots to charge EVs). in a more ideal time period, itll just be another external installment like outdoor AC units. to get there, home energy storage has to get cheap enough so that people installing solar at home also opt for energy storage.

one of the big problems EV have is most charge at home at night when peak usage is at instead of the most opportune time, which is when the sun is up during working hours. Its why theres a movement to install charging stations at workplace buildings as a benefit to workers (no longer pay for “gas”). If the average home user had a battery wall, then you can just circumvent that problem alltogether.

not saying they wont be used of course, just less optimal because the size and characteristics of the battery may be less ideal. for example, while salt ion batteries wear level decreases at a slower rate than Lithium ion based batteries, when salt ion batteries go bad, they suddenly stop working (e.g goes from a wear level of say like 60% to almost immediately zero) which is not the ideal situation to be in

its why their main benefit is cost and safety. for power storage in a standing field or wall density isnt as important compared to for mobile usages (EVs) so sodium based batteries make more sense.

iirc the dev claims its more useful for firefox mobile.

FAANG looks good on the resume so people go there with intention to eventually leave for another company willing to pay for FAANG experience. unless you work in a very focused team (e. g Occulus) youre better off jumping companies for higher pay.

if you go to tech career fairs, especially in the silicon valley, the biggest example of this is working for Cisco. they have huge turnover and youre only going to work there to have Cisco on your resume because of how ubiquitous they are at networking for companies.
