These are computer monitors, not TVs. Plugging them into a Windows box triggers Windows to silently install their “driver,” which silently installs a handful of other startup apps. It’s an escalation of the smartTV-wifi path.

Physical dimensions? Some of these cards are pretty long and/or pretty tall. I’ve run into space constraints in smaller cases. Different manufacturers have different layouts, so that’s a specific card check.
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/ has physical dimensions in the details, but not on the main table.

I like Cory Doctorow’s take: AI is good for single-use, personal code to solve an immediate problem, and terrible for long-term, production projects. I imagine there’s a bunch of neophytes out there who use AI to create their first project, find out that github exists, and thinks someone else must be having the same problem they just solved, so why not release it to the public?

Doesn’t every WH renovation get named for the president who did it? Lincoln bedroom. Roosevelt theater. Truman bowling alley.
Trump Ballroom is obviously an occasional use facility, but “Trump heliport” is something they’ll say on the news every day for a thousand years.
Dunno how well it would work with kubernates internal networks, but my DNS is configured with different views for internal and external clients. So, when letsencrypt does a lookup, they get the external IP, but when an internal client looks up the same name, they get the internal IP. TLS is happy, because the certificate matches the name. I’m happy because it works even when the ISP is down.

The US has a choose-your-own-adventure history.
We’re a country that welcomes the huddled masses yearning to breathe free, where the pioneer spirit brings people together to build thriving communities away from the aristocrats and oligarchs, and you can be whatever you strive for. Life may be hard, but I’ve got my people, and we’re doing the best we can.
We’re also a country of ‘good’ Christians, where geographic isolation protects us from threat of invasion or immigration, and allows only the smartest, most ambitious, and wealthiest people to exploit abundant natural resources and desperate labor force for fantastic personal gain.
As someone with a collection of a couple hundred CDs and another hundred or so DVDs filling my closet, I’m not really sure everyone appreciates the logistics of holding physical media for a couple-hundred-game library.
As I understand his argument, it goes like: the 2020 Trump administration so badly bungled national security that foreign agents corrupted the election. The 2024 Biden administration fixed things enough to produce a fair election. Now that Trump is back in charge, he, himself, is saying that the 2026 election is going to be just as corrupt as the last time he was in charge.
Seems highly out of character to admit that he’s incompetent., but whatever
