- Comment on AMD's legacy Ryzen 7 5800X3D chips now sell for up to $800, more than a new 9800X3D — AM4 chip costs twice as much as MSRP, as enthusiasts flock to old DDR4 memory 6 days ago:
I have an old blade server that I got from work many years ago. I never set it up but just opened it up to see what’s in it and discovered it had DDR2 memory. Interested?
- Comment on [Meta] Can unsubstantiated rumours? 1 week ago:
I agree with this in principle. I think a tag like “rumor” might be useful as a first step? Escalate if it becomes more of a problem.
It may also be worth differentiating between a rumor and a rumor. A rumor of AMD coming out with XYZ at CES is different from “some random website is claiming that HL3 is days away from being announced”

- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 2 weeks ago:
If I’m a TV manufacturer, I have less incentive to have both connector types because it increases cost and complexity while only appealing to a very small subset of users. It will take leadership at those companies to take a bit of a leap of faith that the effort is valuable as a long term plan because it will take other manufacturers to make the ecosystem. Couple that with the fact that leadership at companies tend to not be enthusiasts or technically inclined and it makes it difficult, but not impossible. I really hope we can move electronics towards DisplayPort just so it’s an open standard instead of the HDMI for-profit model.
- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 2 weeks ago:
I agree with the sentiment but we’re dealing with a chicken and egg problem. If no TVs have DisplayPort, who would buy a console that can’t be used with their TV?

The circlejerk of tech bros and busidiots who haven’t built a damn thing in their lives.
- Comment on Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash 2 months ago:
MBAs are mortal enemies of software engineers. Couple that with what one former CEO of mine said: “engineers have very well tuned bullshit detectors” and you arrive at the problem…

You mean Stephen Hawking?
- Comment on Whatever happened to the blockchain/smart contract 'revolution' we were told about? 4 months ago:
Blockchain is just a ledger. Most systems don’t need a ledger, they need a database. It was a solution looking for a problem in most cases and the marketing/business types don’t listen to the engineers if the engineers are even in the room.
- Comment on Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter 5 months ago:
One of the things I’ve always remembered about Decent was when you put in cheat codes it would play a little sound effect of someone saying “cheater…”

Yea, what about your liver? Have you asked how it feels today?
