- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 1 day ago:
I have a desktop and 2 laptops running Linux and a microslop surface running win10. The surface has one job, run Pioneer Rekordbox so I can analyse tracks for my DJ decks. I can get Rekordbox running on bottles, but no usb pass-through means I can’t format and populate the usb to stick in the decks. Tried in a VM and WinBoat, but it refuses to run on a VM.

- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 3 weeks ago:
Unfortunately the ones used in AI data centers aren’t useful for gaming. So yeah, probably could buy one for ⅓ the price of new, but couldn’t use it for gaming and likely still wouldn’t be able to afford it because of:
NVIDIA H200 (Blackwell architecture) – The latest flagship (late 2023), with upgraded ~141 GB HBM3e and other Hopper improvements. It provides ~50% performance uplift over H100 in many tasks on the same power envelope. Pricing is said to be only modestly above H100. For instance, a 4-GPU H200 SXM board is listed at about $170K (versus $110K for 4×H100) ([2]) ([20]). A single H200 (NVL version) is quoted at around $31,000–32,000 ([21]). NVIDIA’s data center system NVDIMMs for H200 (DGX B200) reflect these prices, though bulk deals may apply.

Don’t use tiktok so I’ll just assume that this is someone snapping spaghetti in half and then Italy rioting.
- Comment on French scientists discover law that predicts how most objects shatter 5 weeks ago:
Idk, I think it does. Spaghetti isn’t a length, it’s a width and shape, by my understanding anyway…I’m no Pasta-ologist and am almost certainly wrong.
- Comment on French scientists discover law that predicts how most objects shatter 5 weeks ago:
So it’s spaghetti all the way down?

No, but since the frame is arm based, a phone with clip on controller bits like the switch that could also play my steam games is absolutely something I would throw money at.

Not likely. Why would they give up money?
