as a person who works in that industry pretty much. the only people buying singles are people who do it internally else its sold on bulk because the money gets split between the ecycler and the company who originally owns the product.

outside of having less processing to deal with per order, a company buying things in bulk is less critical about the condition of a product than an individual end user.

i dont know if that has a specific term, but it generally revolves around the render queue. different players/renderers handle what happens when the render queue isnt ready to play.

MadVR (a popular upscaling renderer for MPCHC) for example has an option to pause render queue till full.

one player may have it setup as always play each frame which causes random slowdowns/speedups, other might implement it as drop frames to always be time synced correctly. the latter is especially used if the hardware is too slow to display the content in realtime.

black friday died when it became a normie holiday for sales. part of the reason why black friday worked before hand was that buyers are 100% aware of the product theyre buying and how much it is valued. anythings a “sale” if you’re selling it to an audience that doesn’t know what it was normally priced.

to be fair, the drive in question is a NAS drive, which is not a backup drive by its intended default usecase, unless you slapped it in a nas thats stored as a cloud storage in an offsite location.

its just a matter of people understanding that data redundancy is not a backup, just a level of data safeguard, as it only partially covers some of the forms of data loss and not all of them (e.g not immune to physical methods of data loss like fires, floods and stuff)

you have to have a personality that people like, and thats the non negotiable part. the rest is work ethic. other than that, do not go into the field expecting to make money playing games, unless you live in a place with a low cost of living and you happen to collect bounties on difficult challenges which no one should be doing for a living.

chimps providing proof that tails and ear fluff is desireable, therefor kemonomimi is endgame looks

its only guaranteed because of the amount of time the surgery took in the end. if it was shorter, it would have been averted. (say if it eas hour 10 or 20, would have been still negligent but they would probably be alive. the actual time was double that)

basically there was a chain of decisions and events that led to the deaths, but she still chose the one where the worst outcome was potentially death.

they knew she had children, but im not completely aware she asked the day of the appointment or not. its completely possible she asked when booking the appointment on a different day. its just at some point the establishment was asked.

edit: it mentions earlier in the day. so there was no guarantee that the staff KNEW the kids were out there during the appointment, but knew she had kids.

whether they knew she took them with her for the appointment is a different question thats yet to be answered

jesus christ, the mother was fucking 20, and she was allowed to take the children into the lobby but opted out of it.

she blatently knew and asked about her options and chose the one with the highest risk.

if you have a garage, design a method to basically ensure your garage door is closed without you needing to go back to check.

of course if you trust yourself with never making that mistake.

last thing you want to feel is if you remembered to close the door or not and youre already far off

wild ass condition. i wasnt aware there was an opposite to explosive diarrhea thats objectively worse

social life is kinda fucked when you have night shift, you resort to somethign to pass the time

i have a coworker who worked at an airport, and while people who worked nightshift made more money, their increased chance of recreational drug use and lack of vitamin d from sunlight did not do wonders for their aging.

then you gain the extra potential illegal action due to forgery. so its a game of risk management for the drivers.

confidential cpus are typically engineering samples, usually given to motherboard companies to work on bioses for the cpu generation and meant to be returned to the company after done. engeering sample cpus can be missing features, lower clocks and such that the retail varient may have.

as for geneeation of cpu, its easier to find out via what motherboard socket it is

on thecontext of finding second hand, i wouldnt say its common, but can happen. some chinese companies sell dirt cheap ES cpus for basic computing.

the ilm says lga 115x, so its either 1156(1st gen), 1155(2nd or 3rd gen), 1150(4th and 5th gen) or 1151(6th to 8th gen)

im aware, but its moreso part of the reason publisher is gone because most people just shoehorn the content into word regardless. its religious refusal to change that basically ended publisher. word being older is part of the reason why many people refused yo change their workflow, even though it ultimately would have benefited them more in the long run had they done so.

the good ole people using word for projects that are meant to be designed using publisher.

its like eating pasta with solely a spoon. not that you cant, but dont be mad when you get to the point you end up with spaghetti and didnt switch to the proper utencil.

it was less illegal and more the dev took money to quit it.

pia is terrible for privacies for government (five eyes country host), but its a fine budget option for privacy against business (piracy).

its an okay vpn as long as you are fully aware on what youre paying for

i typically do not have auto correct on because i tend to type on a lot of tech oriented sites which tend to have a lot of acronyms i dont want autocorrected.

while typing this, i had to correct 3 words.
