No I asked for a definition that doesn’t include property damage.

If you read what they're saying, they made a pretty good argument for why the definition of violence can include property damage.

You can stick your head in the sand all you want, but only reading answers that match your opinion is a good way to go insane.

I know you meant backups can protect against ransomware, but it would be pretty funny if ZFS included a ransomware password cracker

Can either of those do collaborative editing? I usually think of that feature when I think of Google Docs

Imo if they can't max out their harddrive for at least 24 hours without it breaking, their computer was already broken. They just didn't know it yet.

Any reasonable SSD would just throttle if it was getting too hot, and I've never heard of a HDD overheating on its own, only if there's some external heat sources, like running it in a 60°C room

Ah right. DRAM also requires a capacitor instead though, and I don't know how you'd represent that with crabs. Maybe it's possible.

It also equates 1 bit to 1 logic gate, which I'm not sure it's possible to create memory using that few gates unless it's read-only. All memory cell circuits I know of require at least 2 logic gates.

Do you by chance have a PhD in food science?

They were paid basically minimum wage, so they weren't treated the best. They were doing important work, and I personally have a lot of respect for it, but it was (and still is) an uphill battle against sexism.

That's actually pretty clever. Make it obvious people have already looked at it and put it back. Even if someone doesn't care about the place of origin, there's kind of a subconscious effect as well of "there's something wrong with that one"

I'm not sure of the timeframe of this, but it could be referring to the time when calculations were done by women by hand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Computers

Hard to compete with the megacorp that publishes all books on a 5 year delay and rebrands it as their own, because there's no rules with public domain.

Well I think in the case of controller remapping, that's a recall. But an infotainment update should also be free and possible to do yourself. If it isn't, that's terrible.
