Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

The RTX5090 thermal design video you just dropped das a phenomenal peek into the level of effort required to fit 500+W of cooling into a 2 slot design.

With NVidia competing more and more with their board partners, I wonder where it'll end up.

Not sure of the original source of this, but the depiction with the final domino set to crush the pusher is devastatingly accurate.

I feel that it is my first duty - well, second duty since the first duty is to the truth - to inform all of BlueSky of the cultural significance of Star Trek TNC!
