  1. waiting a bit before investing in the US, waiting for another 20% drop, I know pipe dream, but Putin should be deploying his nukes anytime soon now ???? otherwise I am back in the Thai Stock Market with the SET, a lot of bargains ????
  2. actually it's the other way around, core OS ops usually don't take much resources (though Windows tend to make a simple OS task even more complicated LOL) it's the UI space that's taking a lot of resources, so much now, that your onboard GPU is needed to run a simple browser so that the CPU can run other valuable OS things. The UI and UX is the resource hog. My Windows XP feels to run much faster than my current Win10 with 4 core and a GPU ???? Same with my Windows 2000, feels like lightning fast ????
  3. the only reason that OEMs put so much RAM is for pure commercial reasons, nothing to do with needed specs and engineering. So encouraging waste to justify a commercial reason is not good for software efficiency, which should be the main concern IMO. Smaller RAM footprint, better performance.
  4. amen to that, it's easy money for lazy people, perfect for petty and retired criminals, that and the bike rental business ???? after 2 years of COVID, they are looking for revenge and punish tourists for not coming ????
  5. I agree with that, but the western state of mind is to waste resources and to oversize everything ridiculous,
  6. the problem is going to be Federal, not local. That's what you keep missing but never mind ???? if I am not mistaken, jury are only for criminal courts in the US, with some special cases for civil cases awarding compensation. I will let you hurry up and check out that little detail for us all here ????
  7. let's have another lockdown, with all the usual idiots cheering up at the idea ????
  8. love your typical passive aggressive argument ???? that's your trademark ???? yes, a strong feeling based on experiences, but you knew that ????
  9. how is that right wing racist? please explain, I am curious ???? kettle? ????
  10. again you are projecting, and I stand by my comments about the SEC, I have a feeling they will look into this if the numbers are significant. You are trying to downplay the whole thing with assumptions and weak arguments, as usual.
  11. can do that for free now, no need to pay
  12. probably got formatted at install, might a bit too late, the new system files have probably overwritten a lot of your old data I think you are done, but there is a free tool that recover old files on NTFS partition for Win7/10/11, it can take forever to run, and sometimes, if the File Allocation Table is gone, it will do a raw dump of the file without the filename or the right extension. Always backup your data when installing a new windows on your existing Windows, or disconnect any USB or external drives in case you get confused during the installation process. These words have been said for over 50 years by IT professionals, and yet people still don't listen ????
  13. indeed, there is not, but Delaware is not a "free for all" state either. You will find a lot of legal experts discussing details, but at the end, it's a court to decide, and despite legal opinions being strong, the court can choose otherwise, a Delaware court will not be different, in particular for protecting investors, and Elon is an investor in case you forgot.
  14. and that's what he is trying to do. How cooperative the "Indian born" CEO will be to "reveal" the true nature of the fake accounts is the real question. And if it turns out they knew the numbers were vastly under-estimated and significant, then they were clearly misleading their investors since usage and number of users, not profit, is the main benchmark of those investors. And the SEC will join the fray. Mark my word. it's only an opinion, not a court result. In a court, anything is possible with the right arguments.
  15. Twitter case could become very interesting if they misled Elon Musk with the fake accounts, he might be forced to buy the company, but then he will need to sue back previous investors and the board for concealing such deception. Twitter is a regulatory time bomb IMO. I am sure the SEC is also on the case, because lying to investors in your 10Q and 10K about the size of your future business and the state of your user counts to "validate" that future business is a clear case of investor deception, and that could be criminally charged. Remember that Liz Holmes misleading investors with a simple PowerPoint and then proceeding with fake "LoI" from big pharma, pure investor deception and the SEC is now watching Silicon Valley practice of "overstated" numbers to lure new investors. The SEC is not amused by Silicon Valley creative practice.
  16. people are fools, guys like Michael Saylor is the perfect predator for the world of digital retards ???? Think of him as the T-REX in Jurassic Park ????
  17. the victim will never see that money back, the thief knew it wasn't hers, but still took the opportunity, and thought it was a sign of good luck like finding a bag full of cash in the street, you take the money and run, and buy a ton of gold, which is easy to keep and hide ????
  18. but money needs to be "universal" to be exchanged, if everyone was to issue their own "currency" like the cryptos guys, it would be impossible to conduct exchange and commerce, there would be no trust, no "common" value to agree on. That's the basic principle of money you guys keep missing. In the middle ages, some small War Lords tried that and it failed. Exactly like cryptos. You being Russian and born under a communist system with no formal education on financial matters, I can understand why would you miss that, but for all the western millennials out there, they have no excuse except poor education.
  19. Zero covid was always a pipe dream, couldn't work from day 1, yet Asian fools thought nothing could stop them there was also some rumors about the Chinese Premier and his handling of the strict lockdowns that didn't go well with the rest of the CCP, so maybe the decision is purely for internal politics
  20. it's a US Treasury change for ALL transactions in USD, even for broker accounts, they have increased regulatory scrunity. I had one of my Futures (CFTC) account shutdown because they wanted all kind of stupid new documents I never had, and yet I had run that same Futures trading account since 2010 without a problem. in absolute terms, you never own currency or money, they belong to a nation, not to you. You are always the temporary holder, not the owner. Legally, all the USD notes all belong to the Federal Reserve.
  21. when the school headmaster is driving a Porsche Cayenne and change it every 2 years, you know something is not adding up ????
  22. used to know one UK guy who had 2 kids there ???? basically he would work his ass off to pay for school here, when it's free in his own country I mean, what's the point I think he left eventually ????
  23. yeah, saw that long time ago, and yet went completely over the head of the usual crypto enthusiasts ????
