today i found out bucees runs their store like the navy and if your phone is anywhere on the floor you get fired and if you're over a minute late you can get fired. that's crazy to me what if you have kids. no phone at all??? one minute late??? is it that serious????
This is literal e-waste (Re-Purposed PS5 APU) and since its now possible to unlock the CUs on the GPU, it's likely this might actually beat the Steam Machine. (If successful)
I paid $150 with the 128GB nvme.
Case and power supply was another $100.
My highlight from FFXIV fanfest:
-Meet n Greet w/Yoshi P: I asked him what his favorite tank job was, and he 100% said:
"Dark knight", he smirked & said, "I'm a bad boy"
lmao
Oh, that reminds me. I've always admired the Fallout fandom in US, and last year I finally got to organize Japan's first Fallout cosplay gathering. It's called "Dawg Meet." I worked really hard to come up with that silly name.🫢 Please forgive me.
In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.
Le Monde has a long article (https://t.co/HsWFThQ5wF) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.
Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.
He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.
That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund
and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.
Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic relations.
