Negative? Sounds like music to the crypto-miners. Heck, can I get paid for shorting two wires together?

That took me a minute…

AFAIK, TPMs are usually socketed.

Is this like a vampire thing, where once you invite 'em in they never leave?

Finally, it’s the year of the other desktop!

The fewer places print checks, the more each one is busy. Also probably still very common for businesses.

If it’s any indication… the last time I ordered checks their website was littered with nuisance upsell popups that significantly hindered that task (felt kinda like Indiana Jones navigating booby traps), so I think the “check industry” (if that is a thing?) is getting desperate.

Laughs in perpetual fallback version punctuated with a hearty community edition.

1440p is kinda the sweet spot, for me.

How much you wanna bet that a select few turbo-nerds are racing to debug it or something.

I’m sorry, it’s difficult for me to follow your logic, but I really appreciate your time in responding. I know at one time there were zero bikes, now there are more than zero, and I suspect more will be created… same with money, so I don’t understand how that is finite.

For discussion, perhaps it would be easier to reduce the complexity. In a capitalist system, if I own a fruit tree in an ideal climate then not only can it be duplicated, but either it will produce value by itself, or I will by picking its fruit. AFAICS this added fruit is more value, and the system has grown. Further I can then use this fruit to trade for bike repair or car washings. Is that not right?

I see that mindset in mega-corps, but at the smallest of scales… one can wash a car or fix a bike and add value to (and thus grow) the system, which logically means it’s not closed/finite.

It certainly could. I’ve attached the original image I got from Dall-E (hopefully it comes through at full resolution: 1024 squared). As you can see, I have rotated it and added the text. It looks to me like it many aspect rations could work (maybe with different rotations though). Enjoy!

Maybe it’s cause there is no banana for scale, but that egg looks huge… like an ostrich egg.

I can feel this image, and it hurts.

What’s this? The datahand has been reborn?!?

Why not? Even my physical door have top-locks and bottom-locks… get your mind out of the gutter! :)

NGL, i kinda want to see this…

It works in three-dimensional space…
