Is "all" considered to be a subset of "most"? 100% of processors fail, which technically is more than 50%

Yeah, that's kind of where my confusion comes from. 93C seems pretty low for a failure temp, my old AMD started throttling at around 90C, but I fully recognize that is pretty hot for a processor and "most" would fall below that. Unless they're meaning temperature _at_ the transistors most fail at 200C. I can definitely see a temperature sensor reading a few 10s of C different from the actual working interface of transistors, where 90C might mean the transistors are around 150C.

Once they hit temperatures of 200 degrees Celsius, most tend to fail.

Is there a unit conversion error here? Or do I massively misunderstand what “most” means?

200 F is 93 C so I’m going to guess unit conversion

I brought my 2003 laptop back to life for shits and giggles recently. It's made me realize how bloated software has become. It's still just as usable as it was 20 years ago when you remove all the fancy crap and use programs designed for tasks rather than living in a web browser. Sure its not fast, but once I replaced the spinning drive with an ssd, it became pretty damn usable in a modern day scenario. I really thought I would just upgrade as far as I could for fun, then slap an old archived distro on there from my college days for some good old PTSD/nostalgia. But it's actually usable so I occasionally pull it out and do stuff on it. I'm ready to slap jaunty jackalope on it and relive going to my uni's library to write a 10 page research paper thats due the next day, but it's still ready to rock in modern times.

In another week, it’ll be a gate embedded in the snow with a pile of rust and four tires surrounding it.

Calibri kind of sucks, it’s better on screen then TNR, but it’s ugly as shit still. A better font could probably be found that reads well on screen and in print. But: Rubio did admit in the memo that Calibri wasn’t the “most illegal, immoral, radical or wasteful” example of DEI to his mind’s eye, but he still berated the font for contributing to “the degradation” of the State Department’s official correspondence. Fuck this guy, regardless.

I brought a laptop from 2003 back from the stone ages. It runs surprisingly well, is up to date, and only really struggles with web stuff because of the state of things. Antix linux running on 2GB ram, Pentium m 1.4GHz, and an SSD in an IDE enclosure. Uses about 200mb of ram. As far as being functional, the screen is small and low res, and it doesn’t do these newfangled video formats. But if you consider 90% of my work life is in spreadsheets and documents and low resource applications, it really could be just fine. I’m not saying I would enjoy it if it was all I had to use, but I could if I needed to.

Open source developers are just like you and me. They’ll get fed up with the bullshit and start developing things they need with the resources they have, just like they’ve always done.
