If every state with a legislative trifecta (and a court who wouldn’t overturn it) suddenly did a partisan redistricting all at once , who would come out ahead?

it ain’t gonna be ‘the people’, that’s for sure.

the intel alder lake-n and twin lake-n have some chips with very low tdp… basically just the “e cores” from a desktop cpu, drawing as little as 6w tdp. nice chips if you don’t need the raw compute power of the desktop’s performance cores. they make for nice little servers and laptops for ‘normal’ users. minipc form factor desktops with them are very affordable.

i like my laptop ‘server’. low power chip that never throttles up to its max 15w tdp, runs cool with display off and lid closed, needs no kb and mouse attached, and the battery is just a bonus ups. it sits out of the way on a shelf like a book.

they priced the new one too high, so now they’re raising the old one up so people (especially newcomers to the platform) will think it’s not so bad?

that’d be pages of blank broadsheet.

iirc… 2003 or so, also a redistricting. first attempt at blocking the legislation was successful but a second one for a special session where only the numbers needed to deny a quorum left, was not–after a month or so one of them caved and went back to austin.

i only recently moved my main home pc from 8.1. there’s configs and software on it that would be difficult or impossible to recreate on a new install or pc. i even have a spare identical mb and cpu in case it’s needed. 1st gen. mechanical disks (several, sata ssd wasn’t that much of an improvement with the old controller for everyday use so i opted to keep the higher capacity) 32gb ram and pascal gpu. i skipped all the way to a rufus’d 11 and it’s actually running well (with all the crud ripped out, though). it dual boots with endless on a loop device. the upgrade didn’t even mess that up.

updates. the constant barrage of updates. the cpu, ram, and disk time needed just to ‘check’ for updates is horrible (it used to be a lot worse, too). and if you are still on an old-school mechanical hdd, those ‘cumulative’ updates are absolutely brutal every month with win10 or 11.

last week i booted-up a silverblue that hasn’t been run in a couple months. 8gb, mechanical disk, not a speed demon either–3rd or 4th gen. i didn’t even notice the updates were coming in until the notification popped up saying they were done.

i doubt a $200M (before kickbacks, overruns, and whatever) construction project at the wh would even be completed before 2029.

don’t forget to pick up the original, which is also free. i put in way more hours into it than i care to admit when it was a new game.

this worked. was already logged in. loaded that link in a different tab, went back to the other and refreshed. saw the cart had something, loaded it and was able to check out.

wasn’t that coca-cola in 2012?
