Let me guess, are we holding it wrong again?
- Comment on What China Banning Nvidia Chips Means for the AI Race 1 week ago:
Which is why the proverbial canary is coughing a little, but is still alive.
TSMC announced their new gigafab in Arizona is being sped up with a 100 billion dollar investment to produce and later package the latest 2nm and A16 nodes. Taiwan is always a step ahead because it makes economic sense for it to be. If that stops being the case, then the US will take the lead and China will “Hong Kong” their way into Taiwan.

Unless China starts implementing the “We don’t care” stance due to the ongoing trade war, which, judging by this Nvidia move, they’re clearly moving towards.
China cares because they have an economic incentive to care. Once that’s gone they’ll switch their tune quite drastically I would assume and due to the nature of their government structure, quite rapidly, too.
- Comment on What China Banning Nvidia Chips Means for the AI Race 1 week ago:
The canary in the Taiwan coal mine is starting to cough a little.
Once China has AI parity or dominance with homegrown chips and the US can produce everything locally or in allied countries, there’s little need for the current protections to remain in place.

Are you trying to get the entire dcip3 banned??
- Comment on (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games. 3 weeks ago:
I used to work for a company that Epic Games outsourced their support to. We were based in Athens, Greece. There were other companies receiving the same email pool on Helpdesk Bulgaria or Romania, as well as an Indian office, all supporting US customers via email.
We were paid 3.5eu / hour and our performance was micromanaged by counting how many replies we did per hour.
Hence, we had canned responses that we’d copy/paste to save time and maybe achieve a bonus for that month.
Unfortunately we ended up being shit on on reddit on multiple occasions because some poor guy misunderstood the request and a legitimate request would be promptly denied, even though it shouldn’t be. The level of English comprehension varied wildly among us.
All I’m saying is maybe Rockstar actually has a way to ID your account based on IP addresses, credit card used, date purchased if you have the receipt email, driver’s license etc and you’re just dealing with an underpaid dude in Eastern Europe not quite understanding you.
Usually if you threaten to sue they escalate to tier 2, so you may have more luck that way and tbh I don’t know about Rockstar, that’s how Epic did it back in 2018.
Maybe try explaining it a different way? I dunno but good luck.
- Comment on If there's a sort of "apocalyptic" event but there are still surviving communities, will people be able to make eyeglasses again, or are people with vision issues gonna be fucked? 5 weeks ago:
You could make “glasses” out of wood or bone with thin slits using the same idea

Some glass is many sheets glued together, that could be trickier to work with
Thick glass that’s not tempered will be the easiest to work with
Pretty much any piece of glass and a series of sandpapers going from low to high grit will eventually work if you know what you’re doing
- Comment on European Commission launching #Wifi4EU initative, 93k high-speed private access points across the EU, free of charge. 1 month ago:
Honestly nowadays data plans are cheap on most mobile carriers and they’re obligated to have them work accross EU, so you no longer really need Wi-Fi when traveling.
Also, I can see this being easily and constantly exploited via Wi-Fi attacks where hackers set up fake Hotspots with the same name as the closest legit one.

- Comment on Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals 2 months ago:
Not if everyone buys it, because then we’d all look the same
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I’m sorry to hear that. My comment was in no way trying to demean yours or anyone’s personal struggle. There’s real assholes out there. Stay strong.

Oh, save the tears brave soul, that’s a funny dad trolling their child the same as always. They’re gonna be fine.

So the plan is to concentrate people in military camps. What a novel idea.
- Comment on International Criminal Court hit with cyber attack during NATO summit 2 months ago:
The ICC still doesn’t have full WiFi functionality restored after a cyber attack in 2023?
If it’s like most places I’ve worked in, they have an IT department of 1 or 2 poor souls losing sleep trying to help outside contractors that actually do everything in there

Oh man, UT2004 was my fave arena death match back in the day, so much fun. Hope they release more!
- Comment on If Nintendo went belly up today the retro community would have a field day 10 months ago:
Yeah I don’t know about that. A company with that much IP would just sell rights to the highest bidder and stay afloat for ages. If Nintendo sells even just one of their main franchises like Mario, Zelda, Pokémon etc they’re gonna be fine for a long time and someone else is gonna sue the emulator guys all the same.
For example Sega, who went basically belly-up decades ago just sued Memento Mori devs for copyright infringement of in-game mechanics.
