  • I was like "HTTP" has been around forever, sure it was out before I was ten...

    Nope I was 12, ugh.

  • Normal amount

    Jump

  • Just keep telling yourself you're not old and soon you'll be 45 and your back will hurt, ask me how I know...

  • LG reportedly stops making 8K OLED and LED TVs — as even Samsung goes quieter on 8K, is it time to throw in the towel?

    Jump

  • I would love an 8K 43-50" monitor. The 4k 43 I have is nice, but i can tell the difference from a normal desk position.

    I don't think my eyes will ever care until I have a theater setup with a massive screen... but even digital IMAX isn't 8k.

  • Seneca Village

    Jump

  • I'd like to point out that even when this isn't true, the "major public improvement" tends to border one, close enough that it gets cut off from the surroundings and goes into financial ruin causing others to look at the neighborhood a few years later and THEN decide its property that needs to be "improved" (gentrified)... To the point that the original inhabitants are priced out of their own family homes.

    One of those "whew, they dodged a bullet.. Of wait, they didn't" times that happens quite a lot.

  • trickle not

    Jump

  • True, but I was talking about the bottom section of the screen shot that starts with "The company is valued at 2.5T"

  • trickle not

    Jump

  • 60B over 9 months is about 80B over the year which is about 3% of 2.5T

    Does anyone else think 3% return isn't that spectacular? Reminder, Inflation alone in 2025 was 2.7%. They only slightly did better than breaking even.

    Not going to comment on his riches, we all know Billionaires are bad for the world. Just thought those numbers were kinda bad.

  • Trump v. Greenland

    Jump

  • As a white person, I can absolutely say that every invasion we've done has royally fucked up the ones we've invaded.

    I might not be the target audience though.

  • Ain't that the truth

    Jump

  • Waiing for Waze to add a button to self report "lake of fire" and "lava" so I can get automatically updated routes to work.

  • Modder saves $130 by building 32GB DDR5 desktop DIMMs from scavenged laptop memory — donor modules soldered to bare PCB flashed with custom firmware even run XMP

    Jump

  • Yeah, my time is worth more than that savings.

  • Yep

    Jump

  • And it works for Windows, too! Yay Linux daily driving!

  • NSFW

    All is possible through yuri 😁

  • Nature, uuh, finds a way.

    Jump

  • I use a Mac at work and don't have this problem. It's mostly been my parent's fairly new Windows 11 laptops. I can't stand it and feel like Windows does nothing but get in the way of productivity in a work setting. Since at least Windows 7.

  • Admiration

    Jump

  • Sadly, the number of times I've had to reboot windows two or three times to fix an issue lately has been increasing. I'm so glad I'm not in IT trying to support windows 11.

    divisible by zero, then?

  • Depends on how much money or oil changed hands.

  • HDD prices spike as AI infrastructure and China's PC push collide — hard drives record biggest price increase in eight quarters, suppliers warn pressure will continue

    Jump

  • Might also be non-AI consumers reassessing their storage needs. If SSD's are expensive and you don't necessarily NEED the faster speed, you'll hop to the cheaper choice.

  • China equips traffic police with AI smart glasses for real-time vehicle checks

    Jump

  • Nah, for me, this has absolutely nothing to do with AI. I don't use my phone for nav and can easily leave it at home. This is 100% about security and reducing tracking and PII. Not to mention, not putting all the pieces together in one handy, easily leakable database.

  • China equips traffic police with AI smart glasses for real-time vehicle checks

    Jump

  • Okay, from a naive POV, if this was only used for that purpose, sure it's too bad. But there's logging, theres extra info gathered here.

    Scanning a plate instantly enters at a minimum, into a DB:

    • car info
    • location
    • timestamp
    • speed
    • owner

    Do that a multiple times to the same car across the area, every day, now you can extrapolate where they go, when they go, predict what they're doing in the future, the route they take the likely speed they'll go and all sorts of other privacy invading info.

    This data could be used to accuse you of a crime, of cheating on your spouse, of speeding without a speed camera based on distance between scans, doing nefarious in their eyes things, etc.

    Edit: and just imagine if this data leaked, which it likely would. Stalkers would love it, among theives and all sorts of other people.

  • PBS is "the propaganda"?

    Jump

  • Its such an insignificant amount of money to fund PBS. It's mostly paid by donations and sponsors anyway. If they really wanted to save taxpayers money they should look elsewhere first... but thats a harder question that might rustle a few of their own feathers. Not only do they try to take the easiest route that doesn't involve their side, but they want to make people think it's a win. PBS isnt greasing their palms, so out it goes.

  • The burden of adulthood

    Jump

  • On one hand, I LOVE crossing things off my list.

    But God Damn does this ice cream taste fucking awesome.

    (Adds "finish quart of ice cream" to list and proceeds to cross it off)
