  • Finally, an actually beneficial use case for AI. This is what this technology is good for, pattern predictions based on ridiculously large datasets. But noooo it's new technology so everyone wants to use it to make themselves rich. I hate this world.

  • You can never be ready for the death of parent. It's like your whole world gets turned upside down, something that has been true for your entire life is suddenly no longer true.

    Sorry to hear it, and I hope you're taking care of yourself and surrounding yourself with your favorite people. you're in my thoughts today

  • [Popular Tech YouTube Channel "Gamers Nexus" was] Contacted by the US Secret Service | The AI Surveillance Center Dystopia

  • not sure what beef you have with GN, but they've seemed pretty rock-solid reliable to me for years now. Just good, detailed benchmarking and high-quality journalism. Unlike many tech channels and blogs, they actually cite their sources thoroughly.

    And for the record, the Kraken Z7 I bought 6 years ago and mounted vertically is still running quite strong, despite gamers nexus all but telling me I was an asshole for mounting it that way because it was going to die within 2 years and I’ll have only myself to blame.

    Quick google is pulling up no parts called "Kraken Z7" so not exactly sure what you're talking about. I think you're referring to this AIO mounting video they did 5 years ago? Generally speaking, computer parts are subject to a binning process, which means not all parts are created equal. Just because your AIO has lasted 6 years with a suboptimal orientation doesn't mean that every Kraken Z7 will last 6 years in that orientation. In that video, Steve uses a lot of qualifying language. In the chapter testing vertical orientation, he even specifically says "this one is more about noise than performance". They also say that you could mount vertically with the tubes towards the bottom of the radiator, and that would solve most of the issues. They supplied tons of testing and evidence proving that their recommended orientations would work best. I'm not sure how you heard "this could shorten the life of your AIO" and took that as a personal attack, but sure. Take it out on GN i guess.

  • Amazon Fire TV will now block apps used for piracy, even if you sideloaded them

    Jump

  • Well if they drop Jellyfin, I know at least one friend that would rather drop their Fire TV than go without. Here's hoping this backfires and just drops Amazon's TV user base with no positive tradeoff for them.

  • TL;DW: Gamer's Nexus was contacted by the U.S. Secret Service because of their investigation into Nvidia's slow corruption. In this vid, Steve and crew dive into how Nvidia has been getting into bed with Palantir, the Trump admin, and the global elite that are fueling the AI bubble. Nvidia went from almost no political contributions ever, to donating a massive amount to the Trump/Vance ticket. And GN brought RECEIPTS.

  • how's your week going, Beehaw

    Jump

  • losing a pet is so hard, doubly-so when they've been by your side for over a decade. I don't know if you've done anything to commemorate your buddy yet, but I highly recommend holding some kind of funeral or memorial if you haven't already. Invite all your friends that knew Ralph well, share some tea and fond memories about him. Hug your friends and cry together. It won't make you stop missing him, but it helps a lot more than you might think.

  • How do I torrent safely in the US if I can't afford a VPN?

    Jump

  • Hmm I'm not sure about contributing. You've presented yourself as someone too broke to afford a VPN so I didn't think you were buying CDs and ripping flacs. Sorry if I misunderstood your goals. I was more focused on the goal of obtaining files.

    Edit: ps, not sure if you saw yet, but I pm'd you about another possible solution.

  • ‘Musk is Tesla and Tesla is Musk’ – why investors are happy to pay him $1tn

  • If they haven't divested yet, they have no morals and no common sense. Or they are betting on a more friendly future for Nazis. Either way, I think we need to stop caring what Tesla investors think. They're all Nazi sympathizers at this point.

  • Doesn't Proton have a free VPN tier? I think it doesn't support port forwarding so your connections would be limited, but that might still work?

    Otherwise, check the megathread and go with direct downloads. Those happen over https so completely encrypted.

  • being an online entertainer sucks

    Jump

  • ahhhhh i'm sorry to hear it. Those spaces are so calcified these days. Used to be that anyone with a half-decent online presence could break through as a creator, so online entertaining had that grassroots advantage over traditional venues and broadcast platforms. These days, it kind of feels like we've ended up right back where we started: platforms are dominated by the most popular (or most wealthy) entertainers, and everyone else is fighting like crabs in a barrel in the hopes that they'll get lucky and break through.

    I guess that's a half-decent motivation to try making a name for yourself in your local community? It seems to me that creators that do break through do so by becoming popular in their local community first. People love to find a new, local comedian that they vibe with - it's a source of local pride. You build connections and get exposed to new audiences that never would have found you on TikTok. I don't know if you have any disability or other physical barriers to achieving that, but if not, and you aren't already doing open mics or whatever, that could be one way to go?

  • i hate every algorithm-driven video sharing app

    which app, exactly? Are you experiencing this with long-form platforms like Twitch and YouTube, or are you more active on short-form platforms like Tiktok and Insta? I would expect this issue to be more endemic to short-form video, but I wouldn't be surprised if the long-form platforms are screwing you over, as well. It seems like users on the shorter-form platforms are more likely to let the algorithm decide what they should watch. Personally I'm spending most of my video-consuming time on the longer form platforms, but i also tend to just stick with the 5 creators that I'm always watching. Good for those creators, not so much for new ones. I'll let the algo guide me every once in a while when I have a lot of extra time, but I am very leery of any short-form platform. They just seem so tailor-made to addict you, and I don't need another addiction.
