TurboTax’s advertising is borderline fraudulent in my opinion.

Freetaxusa.com (no affiliation) is just as good and legitimately free.


Note: Freetaxusa.com has not done a good job with Form 3921 (ISO grant exercises) and AMT carryover. If you have exercised ISO grants or later sold stock purchased in years in which you paid AMT, do not use freetaxusa.com. You will lose more in tax costs vs. finding a real CPA willing to go through your nuanced math.


My PBS server has 2 datasources - one local external drive & Backblaze B2. I snapshot to the local drive frequently throughout the day & B2 once in the evening.

Yeah I don't backup any of my media zpool. It can all be replaced quite easily, not worth paying for the backup storage.


Their question was sarcasm basically saying this site provides convenience by way of not needing any up front steps.


Counterpoint: who cares?

Wake me up the first time someone gets into legitimate trouble over a little harmless computer fun like this. Until then..who cares?


Are virtual machines not an option for your use case? From the outside looking in they appear like they would be easier to manage and far less costly.


They are if the GPU can be attached. I avoid virtual machines in favor of container workloads from containerd for this reason. It’s easier to attach Mali GPU and do my work than it is to find cash in this economy for a dozen RTX’s.


A “server” doesn’t need to mean a pizza box with 15k rpm jet engine fans.

My server is repurposed desktop hardware in a desktop tower case and is nearly silent except for the subtle hard drive noises. The hardware cost next to nothing and is far faster and more capable than any pi (except the pio of course which wouldn’t be used anyway).


I opened a 1 letter typo fix for NextJS not that long ago and had the same thought run through my mind beforehand. I (obviously) decided to just do it anyway and let people think what they want, who cares.

I know my intention was simply fixing a typo I stumbled on while reading the docs..and the effort level is so low to open a PR to fix it


There is zero chance that those police carry un-chambered


I read the article but that animation was incredibly distracting. I don't even understand what it's for - clicking it does nothing. Best guess is a representation of how many people active on page.


Statements like

>I’ve directed our teams to define next-generation product families with clean and simple architectures

always make me skeptical. It's said as if teams were focusing on dirty & complicated architectures without a leader to push them in a different direction. It's a meaningless statement at the end of the day.


Hypothetically what this means is that teams will now be able to design products that are designed for tomorrows markets, rather than continuing to design products that are fundamentally designed to be sold to existing customers in profitable segments. In other words, product teams don't have to satisfy existing requirements of existing customers. No more legacy consideration

In theory this this sounds great. Based on the descriptions I've heard of how Intel works internally, my confidence in this happening is about 0.12%.


The most worrying aspect of this statement is the lack of vision from the CEO himself. You direct teams to execute a vision, not to come up with one.


But Intel got big on its dirty&complicated architecture, didn't they? There's a reason why their processors support more than 2000 different instructions. The only relatively "clean" parts of the architecture are the base 64-bit extensions, which came from AMD, and AES-NI, where the operations were already well-defined before Intel implemented them in hardware.

So for such a statement to be coming from the new Intel CEO could indicate a radical turnaround in Intel's approach to processor development. Or, alternatively, maybe he just hasn't met the company yet.


Tbh APX is a big and welcome addition. Much more useful than yet more vector instructions
