- Comment on CPU shortage is 'getting more serious day by day, no less than the memory chip situation' says unnamed gaming PC company 6 days ago:
I assume it sells if they are changing capacity allocations
Intel and AMD have prioritized capacity for server CPUs, and the supply for PCs has become less … what PC players can get in Q2 is much less than the volume we got in Q1.
Its also worth pointing out that TSMC is a bit booked right now and Intel has its own fabs. So if you need a server CPU you may have to buy from Intel if you need it soon.
Allegedly Intel’s CPU performance is improving relative to AMD so it may be getting better.
- Comment on CPU shortage is 'getting more serious day by day, no less than the memory chip situation' says unnamed gaming PC company 6 days ago:
Intel and AMD aren’t claiming shortages. They are switching what they are manufacturing. Companies downstream of them in the consumer space are reporting shortages.

The reason to eliminate door handles that Tesla and others typically give is aerodynamic efficiency. Granted there are other bigger aerodynamic problems. gestures at the rest of the fucking truck

This is not even remotely close to being a released product so far as I can tell. It’s running on two RTX 5090s in series.

One of the first things Trump did his first term was gut the USDA’s rural investment arm. Why? Because if his supporters were made poorer and more frustrated they would blame it on someone else and be more likely to turn out to vote. It worked. Probably doesn’t help Fox didn’t report on it.

- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 2 weeks ago:
It has a mobile SOC which thermally throttles pretty aggressively, memory capped at 8gb, and a pair of confusing USB-C ports one of which is limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 4 weeks ago:
Since people aren’t reading the article and the headline is misleading. The law requires:
- The OS ask the user their date of birth on account creation (kinda like the Steam date of birth prompts)
- The OS provide an API that returns which of four age brackets the user fits in
- Companies notified by the OS that the user is under age may be liable
It was explicitly written by the authors not to mandate ID or facial recognition checks. You can lie about your date of birth. This basically creates a standard set of parental controls for parents configuring kids devices.
I think that this might actually help with the whole discord facial recognition issue in places other than the UK by allowing them to offload the issue to parents setting up devices rather than collecting kids biometrics.

The headline is misleading. They are only required to ask how old you are and are not required to verify you aren’t lying
- Comment on MSI's $80 AMD motherboards with DDR4 support swoop in to rescue gamers amid the global RAM crisis 4 weeks ago:
I doubt it. Those AI computers are built in a really weird way and have a lot of hardware that isn’t really useful outside an AI/HPC context. Some stuff like the weird card to card network topology can be reconfigured but the rest of it can’t easily be. The servers are rather agressively designed around keeping as many GPUs fed as possible making them kinda weird for other jobs. Those datacenter cards are missing enough video hardware (for example texture units) to make gaming hard and I’m not sure there’s that much consumer demand for linear algebra accelerators. If they can’t find more HPC jobs they may go under. Movie studios could have interesting opportunities here but they are still primarily using CPUs in all their software IIRC.

- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 5 weeks ago:
Sadly a lot of this is chiplet interposer mounted HBM and not UDIMMs. The HBM cannot be removed from the products it’s installed from so unless you want an H100 ir won’t be off much use. The remainder is mainly server RDIMMs and LRDIMMs. UDIMMs for desktops are in short supply because they cut manufacturing to make other things.

Ehh. I’m not seeing evidence that was in any way pointed at people. In the aftermath of the Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s strategic bombers it became quite apparent that leaving your air force out unprotected in your own country is a shortcut to losing a lot of it at once. The US Air Force has the same problem the Russian VKS had: lots of expensive planes out in the open scattered over a massive country that anyone can get drones or explosives into.

- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 1 month ago:
That’s why I also mentioned archivable. Public forums can be archived. If I hit one of those issues I look for archived pages. Deleted discord comments are just silently gone and deleted servers are lost forever
- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 1 month ago:
Because not everything is a bug. People frequently want help and having a searchable place for past discussions it is helpful. Also this was in response to people complaining about forums and implying what came after is better so misuse is very much relevant here. Every modding community and a lot of other dev groups use discord for everything and it is from experience a trainwreck.
- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 1 month ago:
Most decent forums were publicly readable online and thus got indexed by actually decent search engines unlike discord. Hence “search indexable”
I’m not sure why people think that discord search is some kind of gotcha. Its shit.

It’s literally the 5th thing in the article.

Discord is just objectively terrible for knowledge. It’s not search indexable or archivable. It’s more or less a memory hole.

Control 2 should hopefully be fine as the CEO is new and it is scheduled for the first half of the year (They told investors 2026H2 and no one would lie to investors /s). Not so sure about anything else.

- Comment on ICE Agents pepper spray, beat up, and kill a person, after forcefully capturing him. 2 months ago:
Most of the videos are to grainy for me to tell what happened to his gun. What is clear is he had a phone in one hand and the other was empty when he was first attacked. That and that they proceeded to shoot him six times when he was aready slumped unmoving bleeding out on the ground.
Though given the New York Times is saying he was shot after the gun was taken without any particular weasle words I’m inclined to think they shot him without provocation.
