  • I don't like any reality where the Japanese death forest YouTuber who decided to play boxer, is anything resembling a voice of reason

  • 64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months

    Jump

  • I more meant now they're not being made because Micron recently killed the Crucial brand to focus supply towards data center customers

  • TBF that is a crucial ram stick in the picture, those are rare shinies now

  • Valve's Steam Deck OLED is out of stock in the US, and I think we can guess why

  • Funny they need such an advanced piece of war defense equipment deployed against their own citizens

  • School speed limits shouldn't exist

    Jump

  • Yeah you're right actually, anyone, not just kids, ending up getting run over by a car is a pretty bad outcome:

    Cars should never need to go above 30mph anywhere they might possibly cross paths with a pedestrian.

    It's not that cars should slow down, they should only be permitted to speed up if there's zero risk to someone outside the vehicle

  • Finally, a USB standard that can provide the data AND power requirements of a city.

  • The OP: https://www.datapro.net/news/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html

    Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple's Lightning, USB Type D's novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart.

    "With our reversible Type C connector, we allowed users to blindly plug in their devices with minimal frustration. But we wanted to take it a step further. Now with USB Type D, no matter how crazy your night has been, we guarantee that you'll be able to successfully plug in your phone before passing out."

    Remember when funny people still did April fools? I've not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn't transparently reek of marketing in years

  • This is more about finding water so we can move humans there

    I agree this is true for the search for extraterrestrial life, but I don't think humans are gonna evolve quick enough for anything but water to cut it

  • Ukrainian Skeleton Racer Heraskevych Disqualified at Olympics Over Helmet Honoring Fallen Athletes

  • Would it be political if it was dead friends of another nationality? What about dead friends that died in an earlier conflict that's no longer in progress?

    Shit position to take from the IOC

  • Microsoft's Notepad Got Pwned (They Added AI To It, So...)

    Jump

  • You know what's really stupid about this

    Notepad existed for decades, resisting the general trend of Microsoft software, and it continued to do one thing, and do it well (for the purposes of this argument, let's not get started on line endings)

    If someone wanted to do more than just view text files, there was wordpad, a stripped down word processor, that would have been the perfect application to add support for markdown to.

    Except they killed it, because enough people must have realised that the word processor bundled with the OS did everything they needed without having to pay Microsoft a subscription for Word.

    So now Microsoft is trying to turn notepad into the rudimentary word processor that people expect to come with their OS, destroying the aspect that made it useful

  • School speed limits shouldn't exist

    Jump

  • Yeah why over complicate it

    Is there a school somewhere where kids go and live near? Flat 20mph limit for a 1 mile radius around the school, then 30 mph for another mile radius around that.

    Cars don't need to go at kid killing speeds anywhere near kids, regardless of if it's school hours or not

  • Would a quarter of workers really be better off on benefits?

  • Reminder that 99% of think tanks are just organisations that pay for studies that help the owner's ideological goals.

    Always look at the owner of the think tank and people involved and decide if it's just propaganda before you listen to a word of reporting that originates with them

  • UK: Labour has one last chance to reverse Chagos Islands deal

    Jump

  • Everyone was seemingly on board with this as a good idea until trump and Farage decided to say it was a bad thing, despite trump being one of the people cheering for it a while ago. Now people who didn't even know the islands existed 6 months ago, have very strong opinions about it.

    Reminder the Times is a Murdoch owned rag these days.

  • An emotional rollercoaster

  • Idk I don't seem to count myself as having made it until I'm sat

    In my experience there's an inverse square law where the urge approaches infinity with proximity to the bowl

  • I came into the thread with the same question
