  I wouldn’t count on it anytime soon. The data center build out is a years long process, and even after they get built, their owners will want to use the initially installed hardware for as long as possible before upgrading.

  Expect demand for new RAM to remain higher than it was before the AI datacenter build out began. Maybe not as high as it is right now, but some degree of increased demand will be permanent due to the increased count of datacenters that will eventually want to replace their obsolete, worn out hardware.

  There might eventually be a larger supply of used RAM on the market, but a lot of it might not be compatible with mid-shelf consumer grade motherboards.

  Bad console ports on PC where mouse control code was recycled from gamepad control code. For example, in Just Cause 2, the maximum turn rate is capped and so is the minimum cursor acceleration, with the end result being when you move the mouse your character moves like you’ve mushed a gamepad control stick instead of the fast, smooth, PC cursor style movement of the reticle that every other PC FPS manages to pull off.

  I’ve never seen one. We’ve got on-demand water heaters that feed entire homes, but the electric versions are notorious for breaking a lot. The trend is toward heat pump hot water storage tanks that cool the air around them and put that heat into the water tank.

  I left for the opposite reason. Reddit does not have enough moderation, and they gave me a temp ban for reporting someone advocating political violence.

  Its Orwellian double-speak. It implements restrictions on how people in Montana are allowed to use their personal property (computers) where no restrictions existed before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dungeons and Dragons 5e is less fun than 3.5e IMO.

  There was more of a sense of character progression, and ability differentiation in 3.5e.

  5e achieves balance by flattening the power curve.

  For example, the attack bonus for a level 20 Fighter in 5e is just 4 points higher than it was at level 1 - same as a 5e Wizard. Both get +2 at lvl 1 and +6 at lvl 20

  In 3.5e, a level 20 fighter’s attack bonus is 19 points higher than it was at level 1 (+1 to +20), but a wizard only gains half that much fighting prowess as they level up (+0 to +10).

  All 5e characters are pretty much the same statistically & mechanically. Differentiation comes from role play, which is the least interesting part of the game for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oblivion leveling guides be like:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Weakness to Magic stacks exponentially with itself when it comes from 2 different spells.

  For example, lets say you have 2 spells with Weakness to Magic 100% for 6 seconds: Spell 1, and Spell 2.

  Spell 1: target becomes 100% weak to magic
  Spell 2: target becomes 2100% = 200% weak to magic recast Spell 1: target becomes 2200% = 400% weak to magic recast Spell 2: target becomes 2*400% = 800% weak to magic

  And so on. After a few stacks of that debuff, and you can 1-hit-kill any foe with a spell that deals damage.

  Weakness to Magic also works on the player character and it will amplify the effect of buffs. Stacking it before casting your buff spells lets you walk around with millions of health, stamina, and mana for short periods of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the school’s owner siphons off all the resources, leaving very little for the teachers, staff, and students to utilize.

  2 guys cook cafeteria fare for the whole school - they don’t have time to get fancy. they want to make good food, even though they don’t get paid very well, but the ingredients they’re given are mid shelf cans of things purchased from bulk warehouse stores like Costco or Sam’s Club or whatever the local equivalent is. it tastes decent and checks all the nutritional boxes, but is less exciting than food you can make at home or buy from a restaurant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Department of Homeland Security Data Hub Exposed Sensitive Intel to Thousands of Unauthorized Users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The memo about the HSIN-Intel breach specifically mentions, for instance, a report discussing “protests relating to a police training facility in Atlanta”—likely the Stop Cop City protests opposing the creation of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center—noting that it focused on “media praising actions like throwing stones, fireworks and Molotov cocktails at police.”

  What medias are throwing molotovs at cops, and why are the cops praising them for it?

  Well, that and the companies doing it are also a litigious scourge on traditional farmers, and are responsible for causing cancer in conventional farm workers, and are suspected to be the ones responsible for the increase in food allergies.

  A hammer is just a tool. They can be used to do a lot of good, potentially. But, if in practice the only thing that hammers ever really got used for is assaulting people, then it might be reasonable for people to give hammers & their manufacturers a bit of side eye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Powell confirms that the Fed would have cut by now were it not for tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That reasoning is sus.

  The tariffs directly cause prices to go up. The inflation-like effect isn’t caused by too-rapid growth of currency supply, so lowering the growth rate & decoupling it from productivity growth risks stagflation.
