- Comment on The AI explosion isn't just hurting the prices of computers and consoles – it's coming for TVs and audio tech too 4 days 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.

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.

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 1 week 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.

- 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.

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? 2 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? 3 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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.

Also some of us are stuck with necessary stupid software that has no Linux releases and doesn’t run in proton/wine yet.

A Minecraft server is the classic.
Don’t discount just putting together a basic webpage that can be accessed at home too- something he could put together in a basic HTML editor (drag and drop) and put his favorite things on or whatever he may be focusing on (cars, animals, space, you name it).
- Comment on Actual theft 5 weeks ago:
Unironically, Best Buy pivoted really well into the modern market and they sell a lot of broad tech stuff at good prices. I’ve bought a lot of stuff including SSD’s, ram, and a big 43" monitor from them with good discounts. Don’t diss them till you’ve used them.
GameStop though, I’m still not sure how theyre in business. Mostly Nintendo physical items I think.

1gb ram is crap. Hardware capabilities aside it’s just not enough to run anything usable for real hosting. Get an old office machine for 50-100 with 8gb or more of memory and it will do infinitely better.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 1 month ago:
They don’t really have to collaborate though. They’re proving right now that they can price out consumers by just buying all the hardware capacity up and letting the market take care of the little guys. Hardware manufacturers like Micron are obliging.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 1 month ago:
What I’m becoming worried about now is all these corporations now realizing that they can simply supply price the average consumer out of owning electronics or any kind of compute. And locking them into renting or leasing access to data center compute and keeping the power of information further consolidated in corporate interests.
