This thread made me look into the idea of DIYing it, and one of the search results I found looks like legitimately is about actually doing the sequencing yourself:

$800 in 2016 was steep enough, but at the $1600 it apparently costs today I’m not sure it’s still within the realm of DIY, if it ever really was. I wonder if there are any cheaper competitors?

“When the only programming language you know is Javascript, everything looks like a web page.”

David Rudin, I guess? It says which company each person is from under their name. (The page defaults to the “Leadership” tab, so you gotta click on the “Board of directors” tab to see the correct list of people.)

Wrong or not, between Jan 6, the widespread intimidation of judges and politicians to act in MAGAs favor, and Green Mario, we’ve been shown what gets results. Our choices are to learn that lesson or lose.

For anybody who, like me, was wondering how the fuck a miniITX board, of all things, had ISA support:

[Andy] had to tap into the LPC (low pin count) debug port & hunt down the LDRQ signal on the mainboard. LPC is a very compact version of the ISA bus that works great with ISA adapter boards, specially an LPC to ISA adapter like [Andy]’s dISAppointment board as used here.

They’d do it, because the alternative would be no social media at all.

If drones are weaponized, they become subject to the Second Amendment and the public’s right to buy them would become more protected, not less.

Good. All the major centralized/corporate social networks are Nazi bars now anyway; nothing of value will be lost if they can no longer exist.

Remember that the Fediverse could survive instances having legal liability for user-posted content because each user could run his own instance.

Sure, normalizing paranoia is very funny and definitely doesn’t have any real world negative consequences. Har-de-har-har.

I didn’t say consequences could be applied to the university. I said that consequences could be applied to the people running the university.

What do you mean, “when we take back control?”

Fascist collaborators are not protected the way Trump is. Personal consequences can be applied now, without waiting.

Bernie and AOC are the new direction. Biden wants back in to stop them. Fuck Biden!

Make no mistake:

This is not “help.” This is the neoliberal fascist collaborator backlash against help.

Not just the South. Here’s the racial dot map for a so-called "integrated’ city in the midwest (Chicago):

Compare that to the dot map for Atlanta:

I don’t know about you, but I, for one, am not seeing an appreciable difference in the amount of non-homogeneous areas.

Despite a court order blocking such deportations, Barrios was sent to El Salvador, and his current whereabouts are unknown.

FYI, it’s way worse than just “deported to El Salvador”

from https://tribune.com.pk/story/2534767/why-the-us-deported-venezuelan-immigrants-to-el-salvadors-mega-prison :

Why were they sent to El Salvador?

Under Trump’s deal, El Salvador will detain the deported individuals for one year in CECOT, the largest and most restrictive prison in the country.

The prison, which can hold up to 40,000 inmates, was designed to house El Salvador’s most dangerous gang members.

The decision to send the immigrants to a foreign prison system instead of their home country is unusual and highly controversial. Critics argue that deportees should be sent back to Venezuela rather than to a country where they have no legal ties.

Fighting over the MBR.

It’s just SVGA; why wouldn’t it “just work?” It doesn’t appear to be weird or special in any particular way.

(Edit: other than being 240V/50Hz, which isn’t normal where I am but presumably is normal in OP’s country.)

Of course not; vandalism is wrong! 😇

Besides, it would be relatively ineffective anyway, since “just glued on” (with substandard glue) suggests that it would be relatively cheap and easy to replace. Hypothetically, in order to maximize the cost of damage, a vandal would target the rear quarter panel, since it’s typically part of the car’s unibody and thus one of the most laborious panels to fix. That would be really wrong.

ELI5 why the AI companies can’t just clone the git repos and do all the slicing and dicing (running git blame etc.) locally instead of running expensive queries on the projects’ servers?

opposing individual reforms.

WTF are you taking about?

Realistically speaking, we can’t “support” them in the sense of making them safe from those threats. Not unless we’re recruiting people to volunteer to be their bodyguards, anyway.

Sadly, the most practical way to counter this would be to threaten them for not doing their jobs, but it would take a lot for such threats to counterbalance the ones from the MAGAs and, of course, we would be targeted by the regime for persecution for making them instead of protected from it.
