billwashere@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Rare's Everwild canceled amid layoffs at Xbox Game StudiosEnglish14·2 days agoWhat exactly is the point of buying these game studios to just shut them down?

billwashere@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Biotech uses fermentation to produce milk proteins without cowsEnglish4·2 days agoMy wife is a pretty talented vegan baker and cook. Some things I can’t even tell. I’m not vegan but one of our adult sons is so I’m able to taste the difference when she makes something for him. She tried to make a vegan cheesecake once. It was the most horrible thing I’ve ever put in my mouth. She thought so too so I’m not being cruel. The taste was ok I guess but the texture was a complete disaster. He seemed to like it though. And the vegan cheese we buy to put on things like lasagna, is passable at best. Most of it tastes like yellow soft plastic.
So yeah I agree. But strangely enough we found this plant based heavy whipping cream from country crock that she makes stabilized whip cream from (think instant pudding and heavy whipping cream) and I think I actually prefer that to real heavy cream. It’s amazing.

billwashere@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•EV tax credits might end even sooner than House bill proposedEnglish5·2 days agoI’m all for government incentives to buy vehicles that are better for the climate but here’s the thing, companies are greedy. If a company can sell a car for $20k and make a profit, but the government suddenly is going to give me $5k to buy that car, that car will somehow mysteriously become $25k and that same company will advertise that car for $20k with a tiny little asterisk next to the price.
It will be interesting to see what companies like Rivian, Tesla, BYD, Volkswagen, etc. do with pricing once these incentives go away, and they will go away unfortunately.
There needs to be a better way to incentivize this so that the “savings” doesn’t immediately get funneled into billionaires pockets. I know that any incentive needs to be a slow burn and require some work so that the owner is motivated to go through the trouble because they have something to gain. I have no idea how to do this. Maybe remove property tax on the vehicles over 5 years? Yearly income tax credit? Government subsidized car loans? Extended warranties? Reverse road tax (you get more money the more you drive it)? Free oil changes for the life of the car (/s)?
I mean what you really want to do is get people to drive these vehicles, not just purchase them. One generally follows the other since nobody buys something that expensive and lets it sit. But the idea is to get people away from fossil fuel ICE engines, not really get people to buy EVs.

DDR2, 3, 4, or 5? Clock speed? ECC? Registered?
Yeah I have boxes of older memory. But there needs to be a lot more specifics. Most of my home lab machines have at least 384gb (VMs need a lot of memory).
