I kinda want it just because it's pretty. Would never actually use it as intended tho.

Darn. I might be willing to take that loss, assuming I can keep the speakers and A/C.

I wonder how hard it is to disable certain tacking "features" on a car. Could I simply remove the WiFi system, cut an antenna, or pull the power to a section?

Chef cat. I've got machines that can sing and play music for me.

Seems like one of those neat features that in reality would see little to no use. Without a rework of cpu cooling systems and installation structures, a "hot swap" of the cpu would take minutes to complete at the fastest, and realistically, there are few circumstances that would benefit from a hot swap. The only realistic scenario would be prosumer dual+ cpu boards that can shift the load, yet are still trying to maintain 100% online time but still cannot afford to just shift it to a second server temporarily.

Too stiff and unlikely to be used by the entry user, and not worth the risk for corporate entities that can afford to just have more servers with buffer to offline one for maintenance.

As for my thoughts on how it'd work, perhaps freezing the entire system somehow, and then dumping all buffers to RAM, then like RA2 said, slowly feeling out what you've got, and waking things up one at a time as the RAM buffer is loaded back in. I can only guess at the landmines you'd run into trying this in a live environment, with any slight deviation from what a process expected immediately hanging that process, if not the whole system. I'd guess the new CPU would need as much or more cache space, although I'm already reaching my computer infrastructure knowledge on the subject.

There is a 3rd explanation to the population count: we don't have the entire set of souls here. Having a universe of souls where planets ebb and flow in population would cover that problem (although without something naturally reducing populations at some point, one would expect to run into the same problem as before as successful populations become more successful and increase in scale.)

Nothing at the moment. Have a few goals in progress of various lengths, but none of them are absorbing a massive amount of attention.

Yes, gotta break those stereotypes of having passion for your work and a desire to improve and excel above and beyond the average!

Sorry G, but you're actually the next tier: Zoophile. It truly is the endgame.

No doubt some version of it is. Shit looks good

Well he's got their gun, it's not like they have any way to stop him anymore.
