So there’s a lot of incorrect assumptions and outright wrong ideas of how quantum entanglement is going to be used in a quantum network, or even a quantum Internet.

A hard rule: information cannot be sent faster than the speed of light.

When news articles try to summarize quantum teleportation, they incorrectly imply that information is being transmitted instantly. Quantum entanglement is not intended to send information. It’s meant to act like a hash or checksum. The magic in it is it enables both sender and receiver to know that their communication has been tampered with.

It has further use with encryption, but again, it’s to facilitate the encryption. The information is still being transmitted as light through the fiber network.

Will things still be okay if I disabled updates for it?

Yeah it was highly disappointing. I’d always used Intel CPUs just because I picked one chipset and stuck with it. I even put up with the instability issues from the 13 for a while. At first I figured something else in the PC was dying on me. Until it reached a point where I literally couldn’t run certain applications because it would always crash that the news articles started coming out about the chip issues.

I initially got the 13 series, got a 14 series as the warranty replacement. Even with updated bios firmware the 14 series also began suffering from the same instability issues, sooner than the 13. Switched after that because two chips in a row, different generations is not a small mistake. Just happy I didn’t have to pay for that 14 series only to see it have the same problem

The whole ethnic identity is mostly to identify where in the world you ethnically originated from to other Americans. Because almost every single person in the US is either an immigrant, or a descendent of one. So we identify to each other where we came from as Americans.

Where people go wrong with this is if they happen to be traveling internationally and take this US centric identity with them. If traveling internationally, you could be ethnically from the place you are traveling. But in that context, you’d be American. This is a part of that whole well traveled awareness thing.

The genealogy thing is their curiosity in tracing that ethnic origin with greater detail. I personally don’t find it too interesting myself, but different strokes.

Edit: I’d like to add, this is mostly in case other people reading this thread are wondering why this is even a thing. It’s truly an annoying behavior.

I switched to AMD because of Intel’s chip stability issues. No problems since

Good lord, well that puts that into perspective, thanks.

Is your tankless heater electrically powered? How much is the electricity bill? I’m on the fence in getting one because of that whole flip flop

Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’ve never considered tankless water heaters being gas powered also as an option. My house is all electric so I only have that variable to deal with.

How has the electricity bill changed after switching to it? I’m on the fence for getting one.

This is why you can spin up your own personal lemmy instance as a backup to use if your main goes down.

Hey I can check off at least one thing from that list

Sometimes my brain picks two dialog options at the same time, so when I try to say them, the word that might link the two together comes out pronounced wrong as if I didn’t know how to say a simple word.

What’s a melty cookie? Like temperature warm so the chocolate is melting?

Having used their software in the past, I’m personally quite uncomfortable with this technology being used to monitor American citizens.

YouTube has a subscriptions feed that shows videos only from channels you follow.

I’ve found that turning the watch history off results in more accurate and relevant recommended videos from videos you watch from your subscribed channels.

When the recommended videos suddenly go off kilter, it’s telling that the video you’re watching is somehow related to the weird side of YouTube.

Love your username 🐍🐓🪿😂

I’ll admit, this took a few seconds and a reread to process correctly. Well played

If instance owners do not want to vet their users behavior if other instances speak up, the instance that is misbehaving gets defederated from the rest. That’s the power of federated services.
