Previous comment of mine seems relevant…

The other commenter is on the right track but the chip controls both USB and PS/2 as well as others;

In the 90s and 2000s, for x86 machines, slower I/O was handled by a chip called the Southbridge which worked in conjunction with a chip called the Northbridge that handled faster I/O like IDE and PCI. Later these were integrated into a single chip and, as of recent processor generations, into the processor itself.

AFAIK ghosting and key rollover are issues when using PS/2 but it can offer some milliseconds off latency when used in high cpu games.

No, I don’t think not being able to make change or not stopping touching a screen no matter how many times you are told that it isn’t a touch screen is cultural momentum. I genuinely think that we the older generations have failed Gen Z at a common sense and problem solving level and I very much hope that we don’t keep failing Gen Alpha. I was in school still when no child left behind went into effect and the difference was stark. It was said then that it was designed to create a generation of Republican voters and based on the most recent election it looks like it might have worked.

I think you are making a bunch of assumptions. I don’t have a problem with China subsidizing its own cars the same way we do. I have a problem with the idea that the current authoritarian governments in the west are either going to let our car industries die or adopt the labor practices to try to compete.

Working at a university I have seen some astounding shit; people just barely 10 years younger than me who can’t read analog clocks or make change let alone use a mouse or move a file to a flash drive.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only person on Lemmy worried about the car market in China being subsidized into a global monopoly by the Chinese government and labor practices.

PBS exists. People would make things with no profit motive.

Let me ask you this; would you be okay with members of certain terrorist groups making money off movies about 9/11 or other attacks? Are you okay with that song made by the J6 choir being on streaming services?

If you are then fine, we will just have to agree to disagree. But if those ideas are irksome to you then I would ask that you extrapolate that feeling to try to understand why people flocking to see for example Killers of the Flower Moon when nobody would have gone to see it if it had been made by Sterlin Harjo for instance irritates the group of people who are the subject of the movie.

I feel like you are getting lost in the weeds from the original point. Accuracy does not negate insensitivity. Intent, however, can but does not always.

The metric I am trying to point out that you don’t seem to get is who made it. I am saying it is fundamentally wrong for white people to make profit off the stories of them raping and pillaging regardless of how accurate it is. The inaccuracy makes it worse but accuracy wouldn’t make it better.

What are you talking about? A bunch of white people made a shit load of money off a movie that exploits history. I don’t understand why you aren’t getting why people have a problem with that.

1. I am not HobbitFoot. Pay attention.
2. It is a problem inaccurate or not. I vehemently disagree with you that rapers and pillagers should be able to claim the rape and pillage as their cultural history.

I have a clock that has 0 at the bottom, 6 in the 9 position, 12 at the top, and 18 in the 3 position.

The exploitation of cultural history, inaccurate or not, is appropriation.

Pocahontas and Mulan come to mind immediately as movies that pissed a lot of people off. Pocahontas especially since they whitewashed an already whitewashed story.

Joe has wares if you have coin?

Based on the username that might be the point.

I don’t think cities have anything to do with it. I live in an area with nearly a million people that has bike lanes people regularly use as turn lanes despite the signs.

There was a joke about “rethinking the Microsoft model” in a 2005 episode of The Office. The move to subscription based software has been in the works for 25 years or more.

It’s based on Wine/Crossover. EXE compatibility came literally decades before DirectX compatibility.

Because it is…

I would do this if I could afford it. I was looking a few months ago and somebody locally had a ‘00 Ranger 5 speed 2 seater w/ ~150k mi for $5000 and an ‘01 S10 for $7000.
