We asked a PSU expert which adapters or extensions are okay for the RTX 50-series. His answer: 'DO NOT BUY adapters or extenders, they can all be dangerous' | PC Gamer
(side-Note: While a bit lengthy of a title, it's a great example of a headline that goes out of the way to show how clickbait isn't always the way.)

Spending $2,000 or more on a new GPU? Then get the right PSU and cables to go with it.

My favourite part of this interview? Hmmm...maybe this?

Vikander: What did you learn about craft while writing this, your first book?

De Garis: Craft is a conversation with your materials. It can’t be hurried. It requires attention, patience, and humility. Writing also taught me that craft resists capitalism—not just in theory but in practice. Eighteen months of work for £1250 made that point clearer than any philosophical argument.

Our new ISO release is here, meet Mercury

It has been a while since we released our last ISO, Endeavour Neo, and even though this new ISO comes with many improvements and technical challenges we had to tackle, like resolving issues that came with Linux kernel 6.13, the Xfce 4.20 update, sfdisk and Calamares' kpmcore, those challenges weren't the main reason for the long hiatus between Endeavour Neo and Me

That sort of position always brings to mind Whitehead's quote on his work on mathematics:

It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in a battle — they are strictly limited in number, they require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments.

(1/2) Arabic was formalized almost entirely by Persians who derived language theories to understand how Arabic works.

Two intellectual rival grammar schools developed:

* School of Basra - Accepted rational derivation of grammar + minimized exceptions
* School of Kufa - More reliant on literary evidence + allowed more exceptions

This is simplified, of course. Though they agreed on much & eventually merged, it had a profound impact on legal theory and philosophy - parallel to Aristotle vs Plato

#TIL that #Thunderbird lets me set #filters to move an #email to a particular place *when* I archive it, rather than immediately! So I can still read the emails as they come in, and then hit "archive" to have them automagically filed away 📁️

There are other triggers too, besides "as soon as the email comes in" and "when I archive" that I haven't explored yet. Thunderbird rocks! :thunderbird: ✨️

Problems with embedded videos in posts

Hello @Friendica Support

Why when I create a post and embed a video (I upload the video to my friendica storage) I always find it at the bottom of the page? I'll give you an example , I create the post like this

ABCabcAbcABC....I write something..... then I embed some videos from youtube like this,

and finally I insert the hashtags

#friendica #support #etc

I click on preview and everything is perfect , when I click on share, I publish my post, and I find the attachment of the video that I inserted at the end after the hashtags

What kind of formatting should I use? I've tried various combinations, I normally write my posts in Joplin notes, then I copy and paste. But I created this post directly "Create new Post" but nothing changes

The ocean is host to countless species yet to be discovered, some of which could hold the key to breakthroughs in medicine, writes Elizabeth Steyn.
