Guess y’all can’t handle some truth

Lol @ the hate I get for posting a Wikipedia link

Are you from a sanctioned country by any chance?

I think RAM manufacturers over increased production capacity in 2020 and got hurt by that - so maybe the industry will not adjust as flexibly this time for fear of these investments not paying off

The origins of today’s cycle, says Coughlin, go all the way back to the chip supply panic surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. To avoid supply-chain stumbles and support the rapid shift to remote work, hyperscalers—data-center giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft—bought up huge inventories of memory and storage, thus boosting prices, he notes.

But then supply became more regular and data-center expansion fell off in 2022, causing memory and storage prices to plummet. This recession continued into 2023, and even resulted in big memory and storage companies such as Samsung cutting production by 50 percent to try to keep prices from going below the costs of manufacturing, says Coughlin. It was a rare and fairly desperate move, because companies typically have to run plants at full capacity just to earn back their value.

After a recovery began in late 2023, “all the memory and storage companies were very wary of increasing their production capacity again,” says Coughlin. “Thus there was little or no investment in new production capacity in 2024 and through most of 2025.”

I meant more like where would you get these data from? I guess the most precise would be to actually seed a bunch of torrents to different ratios and then test retrievability after X months.

Is it possible to obtain stats what seed ratio you need to get to on average for a torrent not to die?

this is true if you manually delete the txt file.

however, just unchecking it in the client doesn’t result in a broken seeder - at least transmission-gtk 4 will write the “file.txt” even if you didn’t check its box, or transmission will create a (sparse) “file.txt.part” file if there’s additional pieces to the “file.txt” that you didn’t download.

I would expect other clients to behave similarly.

maybe the goal is instead to try to get ahead of regulation by implementing a system that is easily bypassed by most kids (like these video based age estimations). Then they can show this to the regulator and be like: “look were already doing everything we can, no need to actually put the regulation in place”.

You can disable showing adult games from the store in the store preferences.

This setting is apparently disabled by default, so at some point you enabled it.

Valve locks game libraries?

OP is. This is just a remix of a popular meme.

Didn’t they release falsified sales numbers previously?

Probably the ones that do subscribe are much less price sensitive.

Pooping shouldn’t be a drawn-out process. You’re better off keeping your toilet time to less than 10 to 15 minutes, says Gregory Thorkelson, M.D., a psychiatrist in the department of gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh.

In fact, you should only make your way to the bathroom when the urge hits.

If the urge to poop isn’t there, you might be tempted to push or strain to try to get the job done.

And all that straining could lead to the development of hemorrhoids—bulging blood vessels around your anus that can become swollen and painful or even bleed.
