- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 10 hours ago:
LOL fat fucking chance
- Comment on moo 1 day ago:
Why tf is her tail coming out of the center of her spine?
- Comment on A new bill in New York would require disclaimers on AI-generated news content 1 day ago:
A lot of “journalism” involves smaller publications paraphrasing and rewriting a larger publications primary article (e.g, your local TV news publishes a story originally reported by Reuters). I could sure see AI being used for those tasks, but it definitely has to be fully reviewed and approved before ever ever getting published.
- Comment on Should I be using Debian? 3 days ago:
Debian is what you make of it, definitely. But it is also inanely stability focused to the point of being a detriment. It takes many months for simple package updates to hit Debian repos and it leads to frustration when stuff I expect to be updated is still very much not.

India’s power grid already struggles with overloads and reliability problems. Why the hell would you build an AI data center there?

If you control the backend, it’s self hosted. Sounds like a candidate for !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
- Comment on My country's police just busted a dangerous 3d printed weapons manufacturer. 1 week ago:
I’m sure they’ll be introducing legislation that makes owning your own means of production onerous if not illegal within a week or two. Can’t be having citizens realize they can make their own replacement parts or consumer items!
- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 2 weeks ago:
They do have a copy of your Bitlocker key if you are dumb enough to allow it to sync with your Microsoft account, you know, “for convenience.”
Which I don’t believe is the only way it can leak. It’s well known Microsoft can access anything and everything on an internet connected Windows PC whether there’s a Microsoft account or not. If the nazi’s push for the device of someone on a local account only, you know they’ll magically find a way.
- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 2 weeks ago:
So, this means Microsoft has copies of every single bitlocker key, meaning that a bad actor could obtain them… Thereby making bitlocker less than worthless, it’s an active threat.

- Comment on The AI explosion isn't just hurting the prices of computers and consoles – it's coming for TVs and audio tech too 3 weeks ago:
All digital devices will use some amount of memory. Audio devices are all digital these days and only use a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) to generate the actual audio waveform from a raw sample stream.
On something like a standalone audio amp there still has to be the whole backend to store codec information, menus and settings, and a whole host of other controls and audio processing features that are likely implemented on top of a basic OS and not directly written to a microcontroller. There’s more memory than you think.
- Comment on What if the Internet Goes Down? - 15 Jan, 7PM CET 3 weeks ago:
HAM will work best for long distance communication but does not have enough capacity to support local short messaging for any major population sizes. Mesh networks scale in bandwidth and will not be overwhelmed as easily if tens of thousands of people suddenly hop on it at the same time.
- Comment on Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First 3 weeks ago:
Don’t bring your phone period. Any and all devices can be broken into by law enforcement. Buy a burner with cash if you need some kind of communication.

Winter is a great time to be buying very warm, protective clothing like a balaclava, large winter hats, insulated gloves, and puffy mass produced black jackets!
- Comment on I can still smell them 4 weeks ago:
I had at least a few and they never fucking fired right like 95% of the time. The clack of the hammer was louder than the damn cap itself.
Later I got one of those that takes an orange revolver style cap set and they were so much more reliable. Except you ran out of ammo in like 3 seconds and getting a parent to go buy more of those expensive ass refill things was nearly impossible.
- Comment on Fuck. My. Life. 🙃 4 weeks ago:
- verify actual bed and print nozzle temp using IR or contact probe. Thermistors can die and cause too low a temp.
- fully wash bed with soap and water, not just IPA.
- try a different spool or brand of filament. Sometimes whole spools are just formulated badly and it won’t ever adhere right. I’ve tossed a few spools that wouldn’t ever print correctly no matter the settings.
- Comment on If it fits... 4 weeks ago:
As long as it’s not blocking the travel lane or the sidewalk, pretty sure it passes the smell test.

- Comment on Rear LCD Projection? 5 weeks ago:
I will take a guess that you won’t have any image lag issues whatsoever.
Pretty much all displays have imperceptible lag on actually displaying an image- a lot of consumer flat screen TV’s are terrible at it because of their controller being shite or intentionally lagging the image to do frame interpolation or some other kind of background processing. Older analog screens don’t do any of that, they get signal, display signal.
- Comment on How cold is too cold for storing in a garage? 5 weeks ago:
yeah most all of them are good to -30c easy, as with most electronics, just make sure it stays dry and let it sit inside to acclimate for a few hours before you turn it on.
when very cold rubber and wire insulation might crack if moved, but sitting stationary it’s fine.

- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 1 month ago:
AMD has, as far as I understand, been outcompeting Nvidia on value for a good while.
And yet their market share doesn’t increase. Because Nvidia holds a stranglehold on both the software (CUDA, RTX support, frame gen, etc) AND sheer brand recognition- gamers always complain about Nvidia and want better AMD cards, but continue to line up in droves to buy Nvidia cards no matter what.
Nvidia knows they can do whatever the fuck they want right now.
- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 1 month ago:
AMD is a puppydog that follows Nvidia around on the open market with 10% or less market share. If Nvidia constricts supply and causes a massive price jump and shortages, AMD will just follow the pricing curve and we will still get no GPU’s.
AMD is also 100% reliant on TSMC and VRAM suppliers, the same exact supply pressures causing Nvidia to turn off the consumer tap will come for AMD too.
- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 1 month ago:
Option two is not correct, option one is correct. This announcement is specifically for consumer gaming GPU’s only, it does not affect institutional datacenter customers.
This is Nvidia saying “thanks small fry, you were useful, but we’re leaving you behind now. Fight for the scraps.” Complete cartel behavior.
