    Of course, the most troubling aspect of this is that now, I am perhaps ethnically Surly.  I don't know how I feel about that.

  2. @YGIFS DPS trying to both sides it

    Quote

    In a statement to KXAN, DPS said it responded to the UT campus “at the request of the University and at the direction of Texas Governor Greg Abbott, in order to prevent any unlawful assembly and to support UT Police in maintaining the peace by arresting anyone engaging in any sort of criminal activity, including criminal trespass.”

     

  3. Was it mentioned that UT unlisted this video and turned off comments at some point? I know it was already posted, but wondered if anybody knew.

    Time will tell.

    Would be hilarious, given that they gave journalists access to some systems this week, but the site that Toms Hardware is quoting (it’s not a Tom’s Hardware review) was really pissed off that Qualcomm wouldn’t invite him to their event, and he’s claiming he was told it’s on the level of Celeron, and I’m not buying that.  SemiAccurate is also not what it once was.

    Its possibly they are fucking around, but they are about to have a huge even with open access to the systems, and Microsoft has been working with them, and so any shenanigans would be quickly exposed,

    And how did those three catch wind of the plans of a UT student organization?

    You’re not answering the question. Someone at UT had to tell those fucksticks what was about to happen. Abbott didn’t divine it himself. 

    From what was said earlier, the protest was announced at least a day earlier, and I think one of the announcements even mentioned that the administration knew the day before (the protestors made them aware of it in advance) and decided they weren’t going to allow it.

    It was not a random antifa protest that blew up out of nowhere and the fact that DPS was in place before it even started shows that they knew.

    Republicans don’t think Nixon did anything wrong and now that only a few olds even remember what happened and there’s a sympathetic Supreme Court, Ted Cruz is going to undo all the post-watergate reforms 

    Republicans these days would call Nixon a libtard for some of his views.

    But, I could definitely see ARM taking over more and more. Especially when you've got the success of Valve's Proton compatibility to translate directX APIs into Vulkan APIs, there's fewer and fewer anchors keeping consumer users on Windows for desktop computing

    Anecdotal,  but I’m running Windows for ARM in a VM on my M-series Mac, and it’s running x86 Windows programs from 10-15 years ago with no problems.  If they can get the newer SnapDragon laptops out there into the mainstream, for a lot of people they’d do just fine and meet most of their needs and the battery life would be a huge selling point.

    What do these trends indicate for future wildfire seasons? Nothing good. The report said overall, the area of the state commonly impacted by wildfires may expand eastward. At the same time, higher temperatures will likely allow very dry conditions to develop earlier in the year, extending both the spring and summer wildfire seasons.

    Yeah, water is going to be a real fucking problem going forward. Even without people and businesses moving in.

    Embarrassing day 

    Not for Greg.  He’s desperate for attention.  Unfortunately he can’t help with Trump’s legal,predicament so Trump will completely miss this while he rage tweets about jurors and judges,.

  10. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/2976729/secret-service-agent-protecting-kamala-harris-involved-in-fight-with-other-agents/

    Quote

    An armed U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris‘s protective detail fought unarmed with other detail agents on Monday morning.

    The incident occurred at the Washington, D.C.-area Andrews Air Force Base, before Harris arrived, and after the agent suffered what the Secret Service has characterized as a medical incident. The Washington Examiner is aware of the agent’s name and specific detail responsibilities but is withholding those details for privacy reasons.

    Quote

    The Washington Examiner understands that the agent became aggressive with other agents. When the special agent in charge and a detail shift supervisor attempted to calm the agent, a physical altercation ensued. The agent was handcuffed before being withdrawn from service for medical assessment. Harris was scheduled to arrive at Andrews Air Force Base after the incident.

    Quote

    In a statement, Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi told the Washington Examiner, “At approximately 9 a.m. April 22, a U.S. Secret Service special agent supporting the Vice President’s departure from Joint Base Andrews began displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing. The agent was removed from their assignment while medical personnel were summoned. The Vice President was at the Naval Observatory when this incident occurred and there was no impact on her departure from Joint Base Andrews. The U.S. Secret Service takes the safety and health of our employees very seriously. As this was a medical matter, we will not disclose any further details.”

     

  11. if you told me 15-20 years ago my daily driver would be an ARM-based Mac, I might not have been too surprised, but Microsoft is pushing hard as well.  Microsoft worked closely with Qualcomm on their new CPU and Qualcomm thinks they can “reset” the PC market.  There is a chance they’ll be providing motherboards for desktop builds as well.

    But ahead of the mid-year hardware launch, Qualcomm is providing some fresh performance slides, comparing the Snapdragon X Plus to its current-generation competition from Intel and AMD, as well as Qualcomm’s own Snapdragon X Elite. As with all vendor-provided benchmarks, these should be taken with a grain of salt. But if nothing else, it’s notable here what Qualcomm is and isn’t saying.

    Overall, I don’t know if anything presented with the Snapdragon X Plus thus far would be considered all that surprising. With Qualcomm making their biggest push into the PC market yet, it makes perfect sense that they’re introducing multiple SKUs – and that they’d need some kind of branding to differentiate them. And while the Plus obviously won’t deliver the kind of chart-topping highs that the Elite will, it’s still based on all the same hardware that Qualcomm is banking on to make their reset PC ambitions a success. So like the rest of the Snapdragon X family, I’m looking forward to seeing what the hardware – Oryon CPU cores and all – can deliver when it launches in the middle of this year.

    Yeah , it’s a marketing video, so grain of salt.

    Abbott might just roll past Santa Anna as the worst Texas leader ever.

    Santa Anna at least cared about some people in Texas.

    And again, note that I'm not really on board with this particular cause/protest here (not overly opposed, either....I think it's messy and maybe not the most effective messaging)....and....that's not the fucking point.  It doesn't matter what it's about, or whether we agree with it or not.  That's the whole.  fucking.  point.  of the fucking. First.  Amendment.

    When it kicked off, I ignored it as a bunch of kids who had no clue (or cared) that what they were doing would have no impact on the situation other than to make them feel good about themselves.  That’s the old man in me talking, who has seen a shitload of protests going back to the early 90s, and whose sister used to do this kind of stuff.

    But after seeing what our limp-dicked spineless MAGA Governor ordered and is saying, fuck it, they could be protesting for the right to kill baby owls and I’d support them.

    Fuck you Greg

    This is what Republicans voted for.  It’s been known since last October that according to Republicans, people are not supposed to criticize the Israeli government in any way and if you do, you are to be labeled as hating all Jewish people.

    This is Greg’s Texas.

    UT Austin - April 24th, 2024. Austin, Texas.

    I asked these guys a few questions:

    -What were your orders today?

    Who called you?

    -Can you define terrorism for me?

    They didn’t have very many answers for me, but I tried.

  15. If you want to see the Fox camera guy get knocked to the ground by the DPS trooper, it’s around the 2 hour, 35 minute mark, you can see the troopers face even.

    This should jump right to it.

    To be fair, a normal utsa student has some cholo/chola in them …..

    If Abbott cracks down on them, I’m sure he’ll have DPS run the status on every one of them.

    Free Speech Week has been postponed until "TWO WEEKS FROM NOW" 

    Until then, the beatings will continue until Sgt. Hulk's morale improves...

    Also, the border is no longer in crisis, as these students are clearly more of a threat.

    Yeah, in terms of DC resources it would make sense but that's not what he is inferring in his statement. But this is a very common theme with Elon. He often says things that sound like he doesn't really understand the topic and is just repeating what he heard someone else say.  Which makes sense because he is a bullshit artist.

    Yep, completely something he read on Twitter and is flailing around to try and distract from the numbers that came out.

    There is a possibility he knows it’s bullshit and is trying to distract from the numbers.  Especially with that “imagine 100 million Teslas sitting there with all that computing power” crap or whatever. But I lean towards him reading something on Twitter.  Sucks to be the Tesla engineers, or Twitter engineers who get yelled at to make it happen.
