    Solution to grid puzzle

    The henchmen’s discussion implies that the letter row and number column both have at least two balls in them (required for “I don’t know, but I know you don’t know)”. Bernard’s statement to Albert makes it clear to Albert that the letter must be either row C or D depending on the number he knows.

    If it was row D the answer would still be ambiguous to Bernard so it must be C3 and the ball is gold

    Solution to overall puzzle

    I’ve been successfully nerd sniped and my family is dead.




  • I think you’re missing some key parts of the Star Trek lore. America didn’t peacefully evolve into the Federation. Earth wasn’t able to get past it’s self destructive tendencies until after World War III, a conflict so devastating that 30% of the Earth’s population was killed. My knowledge is more fuzzy on this, but I don’t think the American empire survived WWIII as an entity.

    Also we have images of black holes.

    I put a 3060Ti in my latest build. The NVidia drivers would consistently hard lock my PC after about a day of uptime no matter what I did. I spent ages trying to hunt down the issue, and waited through several kernel and driver versions in vain hope, fuelled by people insisting that the NVidia drivers were “good now”. I switched to nvidia-open once that released (or once I realised it existed) to no avail. Nouveau was not available at all for those cards when I started and was still missing critical features at the end.

    I think this is the first time I’ve ever encountered a kernel crash in nearly two decades of Linux computing. And second, and third and…

    I switched to an AMD card, a 7600 (a generation newer! In case anyone thought this was a “new hardware” issue) and the problem was immediately gone, and my PC has returned to being my sanctuary.

    My problem is exceptionally rare - I think i found one other person experiencing it over the course of 1-2 years. But the concept that NVidia had redeemed themselves continues to ring hollow for me.
