Not just for 2 years, XP removed it in sp2.

And even when it supported it, many versions wouldn’t let you use it, or would let you “see” it but not use it.

For basically the life of XP.

I’m not overly worried about a few random Linux distros that did strange things, nor raspberry pi’s. I mean I don’t know why you’d use 32 bit on an 8gb pi anyways, so it shouldn’t affect anyone unless they did something REALLY strange.

For the average user, neither of those scenarios mattered, especially back when the problem was at its peak.

2 years was a long time to wait to use the extra memory that Linux could use out of the box.

I honestly don’t even remember XP having PAE, but if you NEED the validation, sure, Microsoft EVENTUALLY got it.

Except that Microsoft removed it in SP2 LOL!

And all the home use versions of XP still maxed out at 4gb.

There could see the memory but couldn’t use it, oh I’d forgotten that!

Wikipedia was a fun read.

Yeah I acknowledged the shortcomings in a different comment.

It was a duct take solution for sure.

Intel PAE if the answer, but it still came with other issues, so 64 was still the better answer.

Also the entire article comes down to simple math.

Bits is the number of digits.

So like a 4 digit number maxes out at 9999 but an 8 digit number maxes out at 99 999 999

So when you double the number of digits, the max size available is exponential. 10^4 bigger in this case. It just sounds small because you’re showing that the exponent doubles.

10^4 is WAY smaller than 10^8

32 bit CPU’s having difficulty accessing greater than 4gb of memory was exclusively a windows problem.

Sooooo, I have a ton of info here, but I’ll keep my point short and sweet.

Depending on the age, we HAVE to.

Because rejecting a parent is death. You’ll find that 7 year olds will make excuses for and defend abusive parents, because rejecting a parent is rejecting safety, housing, food etc….

And while that may be less true when you’re 18, some of that programming never leaves you, even if it should.

… so it just becomes a personal tragedy.

Ahhh then I misunderstood.

Have a nice day!

Right but you’re missing the whole “you can’t separate sexual abuse from the power imbalance”

It’s like when a female guard has sex with a male inmate.

I believe that most of the time that happens, the inmate went after the guard. I also believe that if you asked the inmate that they consented to it 100%.

But because the power dynamic at play is so severe, you just have to hardline it and say that as the CEO it’s illegal for you to dip in the company ink.

Probably not worth jail time, maybe just lose your job and be forbidden from directorships/ceo for 10 years?

Here’s the problem….

Because of the power imbalance you can never divorce the two, even if she chased him.

That’s not a moral judgement, just a reality that “perspective “ matters here and if she chased him and then decides 3 years later that he unduly promoted her to try and convince her to have sex with him, BOOM he’s screwed, because she’s got a valid point.

I don’t know the answer, but he’s definitely doing things he shouldn’t.

And let’s be real, he’s likely a VERY shitty dad.

Going from “sim “ to “voip” means that your cell phone will only ever work when it’s on wifi. The reliability will drop significantly Your ability to get maps and things while on the road, in fact you won’t be able to receive or make phone calls/texts/anything while travelling at all (by bus, car or bike)

… just fyi

Yep, it’ll be opt in until they can turn it on without people noticing

Sure but you also haven’t lost any of the power that wasn’t generated by them being dead/broken

Oops yep. You’re right

Hmm, I was under the understanding that it actually cancels out the pressure by creating a wave exactly 90 degrees off from the initial wave, creating reverse pressure and canceling the sound….

Not sure?

Sure, but this solution isn’t that.

I’d be super disappointed by owning a solar cell and not being able to use it during a power outage.

I agree on all points, but honestly I’d be pretty upset if I got a solar setup that didn’t work when the power was out haha

Yes, but not at 800W

2 problems….

1. If you forget to turn off the mains, it could really make a lineman unhappy.

2. Most of these setups require a reprimand dangerous “ suicide cord”

You’re over simplifying my statements to try and support what’s going to be a failed investment.

Crypto allows you to send 10k internationally with zero trust. That’s insanity.

You can’t give one reasonable use case for it.

“You might want your salary to be a secret, until you have to report it for taxes.”

Sooooo, secret from whom? Because your neighbour and the cops can’t see your salary already. The problem doesn’t exist, unless your goal is tax fraud. But you quickly backed out of that argument because you saw the corner you were painting yourself into.

I totally agree that privacy is, and should remain an inalienable right, and you shouldn’t need a reason for information to be private.

Money isn’t information in itself. Who you give it to CAN be, but cash still solves that problem, so the problem doesn’t exist…… Until you’re trying to use cash remotely, but there are no reasonable use cases for needing anonymity in international money transfers. In fact there’s a ton of safety in having banks involved. It’s not 100% secure, but nothing ever is. As opposed to throwing your monero into the wind and hoping the other person ships your illicit items.
