  • Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead

    Jump

  • The AI bubble is starting to pop. All of these companies have made hardware and data center investments far beyond what is needed or can be sustained. The debt is piling up and they are scrambling to justify the immense build out. Musk allowing porn and CSAM on Grock for paid users , Chat GPT pushing commercials, Microslop putting copilot in everything and forcing adoption. Oracles server utilization remains low, Etc. etc.

    They now need to show immense growth and adoption in order to keep getting loans or justify burning cash to their shareholders.

    Chat GPT and Oracle will be the first to fall, then xAI etc. Google and Microslop have other revenue sources that can weather the storm. But they won’t continue their massive investments.

  • The Undiscovered Country: Why is the galley set so worn out?

    Jump

  • The Yorktown is specifically mentioned in the movie and the ill fated captain of the Yorktown reports it to the admiral in this scene:

    Also Star Fleet Admirals being the canonically evil dicks that they are would totally stick Kirk with a messed up haunted ship.

    Edit The scene in question starts at 2:30 for reference.

  • The Undiscovered Country: Why is the galley set so worn out?

    Jump

  • I like that version of the lore but I added my own. Enterprise A is actually the Yorktown… but why was the Yorktown available you may ask? I mean it would have had a captain and crew right?

    Well it was one of the ships that attempted to intercept the whale probe during Star Trek III The Journey Home and had its systems soo badly scrambled that it lost all power and was running life support on batteries. (Which happened in the movie and was a transmission received by Earth, it is even mentioned that they were trying to assemble solar sails to attempt to make it to a habitable planet.)

    Well the fearless crew of the Yorktown didn’t make it and the entire crew suffocated or froze in the cold blackness of space…

    Starfleet isn’t so big that it can waste a starship even if it’s full of frozen dead people. So they spaced the bodies, cleaned it up and stuck Kirk with a malfunctioning potentially haunted ship as a kind of punishment.

    This explains why nothing worked on the Enterprise A in Star Trek IV as its systems were still pretty scrambled from the Whale probe and was haunted by the long dead crew of the Yorktown…

  • Can Students Fail an Assignment if They Cite God? Not if Florida Republicans Get Their Way.

  • Like everything else today it’s just a grift.

    Stick some pretty 20 something white girl in front of a camera advocating for god in the face of those godless immigrant communists who control higher education. Instant Faux News interviews, do the podcast and YouTuber rounds, bonus points if she is already an influencer… it’s just easy money.

    I bet a few believe it, most just back her up because she’s white, Christian and playing in their team.

    There are no morals or ideals on the right, just grifts.

  • Families in New York City demonstrated against a proposal to allow cars in a local park. A politician showed up in a car to mock them

  • Because smashing their car and attacking them would make us horrible too.

  • The world is trying to log off U.S. tech

    Jump

  • I agree, the problem is you have to consume at some level you need food water clothes etc. and for poorer people 100% of their income goes to just buying the basics. You also don’t want to put other citizens out of jobs because of a boycott, that would get unpopular quickly.

    For this to work long term you need to get the top 10% or 20% of consumers to cut back on the extras. I.E. Amazon Prime, Netflix, Chat GPT subscriptions, hold off buying an iPhone or electronics, etc.

    If you did that and caused consumption to dip even 5% you would hurt the companies that the oligarchs run and in turn hurt Trump.

  • The world is trying to log off U.S. tech

    Jump

  • Ramp it up!

    The worst crime you can commit under capitalism is not participating, not buying, not renting, etc. These tech companies are built on debt that is serviced by profits.

    Moving the needle down and impacting their income by even 5% will have a huge impact on a business’s bottom line and in turn a CEO’s income, bonuses and stock options etc.

    If you want to make Trump and his regime change then you have to hit the only people he will listen to… his fellow oligarchs.

  • Oooor you can give strangers a little grace and assume the best. As large as your family may be it’s not representative of the population at large.

  • Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company

    Jump

  • *Automatically nationalized and leadership at those companies should be investigated and tried for fraud.

    These CEOs need to take accountability not a golden parachute. They know when a business is failing and when they are defrauding investors and the public.

  • Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company

    Jump

  • The government will not let SpaceX fail, it’s a strategic asset and Musk knows this. He is going to tie his Xai to it and saddle it with all the debt it is incurring. When the AI bubble pops he will be able to ask for bail outs to keep SpaceX afloat.

  • When I see small kids throwing fits or acting out in public, I don’t judge the parents and try my best to smile reassuringly at them. You can be a great parent but sometimes even good kids act out and have tantrums in public when they are tired or over stimulated.

  • I’ve heard that special forces practice aiming for the pelvis as many of the U.S.A.’s adversaries use body armor.

    The goal is to dump rounds into the pelvic bone until it breaks. Which will incapacitate their opponents and cause them to bleed out very carefully.

    Did you know you are legally allowed to buy “green tip” 223 ammo. It’s the same ammo the military uses and can penetrate up to Level IV body armor.

  • Those of you who are angry at the US for allowing ICE to stifle people's liberties (including me) - how do you channel your anger and irritation?

  • Been stacking up on green tip.

    1. The USA as a global superpower, is morphing into something decidedly more sinister.

  • US Black Hawk helicopter trespasses on private Montana ranch to grab elk antlers

    Jump

  • I mean this isn’t a conspiracy. I don’t think the federal government as bad as it is has a program in place to steal antlers from private land.

    This is probably some pilot or lieutenant who wanted some antlers that he saw while flying over the wilderness and set down to grab them.

    If I were the rancher who owned the land and it was a one off thing I’d probably think it was funny. If they did it all the time I’d probably have a different opinion.
