From the California Legislature’s document site:

This bill would enact the Right to Repair Act. The bill would require, except as specified and regardless of whether any express warranty is made, the manufacturer of an above-described electronic or appliance product, in the above-described circumstances, and in those same circumstances but sold to others outside of direct retail sales, to make available, on fair and reasonable terms, to product owners, service and repair facilities, and service dealers, the means, as described, to effect the diagnosis, maintenance, or repair of the product, as provided. The bill would also require a service and repair facility or service dealer that is not an authorized repair provider, as defined, of a manufacturer to provide a written notice of that fact to any customer seeking repair of an electronic or appliance product before the repair facility or service dealer repairs the product, and to disclose if it uses replacement parts that are used or from a supplier that is not the manufacturer.

SB 244 has been around since the start of this year, at least officially.

If anyone is interested in seeing how legislation changes over time, I implore you to look at this service; I would go as far as to say that educational instruction would be aided by directing students here.

There is a lot of content in here but becoming accustomed to reading the text of legislation allows you to be more independent from mass media.

Speaking with FedScoop, the officials expressed concern that USDS, led by Mina Hsiang, and GSA, led by Robin Carnahan, in the past year have focused on small, niche projects while deprioritizing big ticket items like redesigning government websites, setting tech policy standards and improving agency branding. One such niche project, cited by two officials, was a public benefits studio run by GSA’s Technology Transformation Services team, which is a pilot text notification system.

It sounds like too much progress is being made for the sake of progress.

We should be hearing about budget concerns rather than these agencies focusing on non-priotity issues.

I don’t want to start saying that these agencies are bloated or are set up in a way to benefit political partners without any work being done but it seems that way.

Perhaps it would be better to get people with real passion into the rosters rather than people interested in entertaining the public.

Yeah but people used to actually have paying jobs through SL, this is closer to Steam’s systems IMO (Steam also appeals more to children than SL).

This is not a defense either, only adding something else to keep in mind.

Lmao, I wonder what kind of USB standard it uses.

Back in the day, I modded PS2s and preferred FTP for file transfers since the HDD and USB were slower than the LAN haaahaahaha

I’m glad you figured it out though, old tech can be a headache.

Do you know, with absolute certainty, that the RAM and CD Drive are compatible with your laptop? Talking like manufacturer, model, capacity, speed, the whole shebang.

IMO the RAM is probably what is causing issues, I’d stick a single stick of comparable RAM back into the first slot and try again.

I love this guy’s videos, he’s hilarious in a very unique way.

As a side note, it’s a bit weird that URLs in the auto-generated link summary are cut off and don’t link properly.

The last like should direct to Joel Haver’s channel:

Instead, it directs to:

I’m going to put this in the Discord but I thought it would be useful to have it here as well.

What a special time to be alive.

Wouldn’t that then be the convention organizers paying for marketing? They have people that they want at the convention who don’t necessarily even want to go to the convention in the first place, even to market themselves.

Is the talent marketing their talent or is the convention paying them in order to create interest in the event?

In any case, having talent pay to register for an event isn’t something new.

What about it? Conventions already do this.

Want to advertise at the convention? Gotta pay.

Want to have a booth for your content at the convention? Gotta pay.

Want to just go to the convention to see the advertisements and booths that companies paid to market to you? Believe it or not, gotta pay.

Steam does the same shit, pay to list your games, pay to run promotions, and players pay for the game.

IMO, YouTube is lagging behind on this one.

That’s what stuck out to me, I can surmise multiple-but-equally-unlikely reasons but it’s just too strange.

Eli the computer guy […] had this show up in his dashboard: “grow your Channel’s popularity and engagement by promoting your video on YouTube, running a promotion helps attract new viewers who can boost your subscriptions, views, likes, and other engagement” and the way this works is your videos will show up if you pay them. YouTube is trying to get people who make content on YouTube to pay for views now.

Isn’t this kind of basic in terms of content marketing?

One entity makes content then pays another company to promote it?

What else would Luis being doing if he actually had to pay for the storage space YouTube gives him for free? Handing out CDs on the street?

Is he aware that companies like Pinterest already do this?

I can’t say that the sudden huge drop in viewership isn’t suspicious though.

Since getting married, I’ve been popping in and out of multiplayer games more often as well as more closely curating what single-player games I purchase.

I enjoy longer narrative-driven, single-player games; they’re like a good book and I aim to be just as bummed out when the game ends as I would be at the end of a work from my favorite novelist.

But I cook, I clean, I do the shopping, and so I end up with a lot of short periods of free time throughout the day. The newest (but not franchised) multiplayer game is usually what I’ll play if I can come and go at my leisure without provoking the ire of other players.

I’ve never really wanted to 100% a game, pretty sure that was just FOMO, but every now and again I will want to replay an old game.

I was thinking about getting one but then I saw Retroid’s line of products. They run Android instead of using FPGAs so you can play regular Android games (including modern re-releases as well as Steam’s Remote Play) but they dual-boot a stripped-down version of Android for running emulators with better performance.

Was hella fun playing MediEvil on the flight from the US to India and that was with the Retroid Pocket 2, they have a much larger model out now.

So, we’ve all had a… time on Reddit lately. And I’m here to recognize it, acknowledge that our relationship has been tested, and begin the “now what?” conversation.

“I am allowed to hint towards the idea that we may have fucked up but I am not allowed to say how we may have fucked up if we did indeed fuck up which may not be the case. Could you, once again, reiterate what you think we fucked up and how we can fix the alleged fuck up? We haven’t decided to do anything, aren’t claiming fault, and are refusing to bring forth solutions to proposed issues.”

“Now that we have that out of the way, let’s chat!”

This sounds really fuckin cool.

Probably wouldn’t be able to replicate your beliefs/morals/mannerisms consistently enough for you to not question what it says and/or actually predict your complete internal through processes.

That being said, if you were to train the AI to be a kind of automated therapist as well as train it to speak like you, it could be useful for getting some thoughts unstuck if you’re in a rut, not sure if that’s something that is possible yet or not.

A real therapist might be better though.

How long have you had the RAM? I had a cap desolder itself on one of their dominator platinum sticks not too long ago.

1. Are you absolutely sure that your RAM is installed according to the motherboard’s instructions?

2. Have you tried swapping the two RAM modules between the slots that they are in?

3. Have you tried using both RAM modules independently from each other?

Edit:

4. Do both of the modules have the same specifications? Unlikely that this will cause issues (I think, I haven’t tried it but, y’know, in theory) but it may.
