I believe that near me, there was something that happened where it was partly human meat. I’ve heard that a worker at the meat packing plant for maccas got fed up with working there, so he tied up all his coworkers and fed them into the meat grinder. I’m actually not too sure if it was the nuggets or the patties, but then again, that’s still fucked
- Comment on Data centers will consume 70 percent of memory chips made in 2026 - supply shortfall will cause the chip shortage to spread to other segments | Tom's Hardware 1 day ago:
I believe that if these AI hyperscaler facilities can’t get built or can’t pay their bills, the ram will likely not be usable for consumers if they get foreclosed on, since these companies are directly buying silicon wafers since it’s a cost cutting measure, so if they’re not built, most wafers could just stay like that, and if they are changed to work in their servers, I fully doubt they’ll use modules, since they could’ve just bought modules to save endless downtime before the facility actually starts making money for them.

And the funny thing about those phone plans is that once people get close to paying off their iPhone 213 XLLXQ, the carrier would offer you a “free” upgrade to the iPhone 214 XLLXQ Ultra Big-Boy Edition, which then the person paying for it needs to pay for the entire phone again if they take the bait, which tons of people do unfortunately.
Personally, I’d rather just buy some old flagship phone used, since the features of phones don’t really change much over the years, and I don’t even need a whole lot since I barely use phones anyway unless they’re apart of my kde connect “mesh” of devices
- Comment on What next, power supply shortages? 1 day ago:
It’ll probably spur on a higher influx of soldered unified memory based systems until even desktops are commonly soldered in terms of ram and processors. It might even allow for new socket standards, since consumers would be begging at that point.
It kinda even aligns with my theory of how electronics improve through standards becoming incredibly commonplace but stale, which then creates new form factors that are soldered, and then the rest of the market follows, creating new modularity standards to replace the old ones.

- Comment on Jensen Huang Is Begging You to Stop Being So Negative About AI 6 days ago:
Yeah nah, the AI shit himself as well as the industry as a whole is peddling isn’t as useful as they say it is, even with the “revolutionary new Gemini 3 models”, which are just slop convo generators. The thing is, when AI is thrusted into a person’s line of sight, the label doesn’t make it so they impulsively rework their entire workflow to be the exact same in terms of quality but use an AI instead, most people brush it off as system bullshit they don’t need, and even if it could help with some things in some capacity, it’s marketed as a “feed everything into me and you can use me for everything” machines, when honestly more accurate, smaller and specialised models should be made instead, even if their purpose is also a bit dubious too.
And sure, it might seem contradictory, but I do use an AI, but it’s pretty much just for brainstorming and conversational shit for refining my ideas through just articulating them, but I really dislike how my computers are full of AI services for no reason, with a few of my laptops with copilot baked in, another with Gemini baked in, and what have you.
I suppose the only good thing that came out from LLMs would just be the increase from 8 to 16gb of ram on many machines, but then again, it had to drop again because of said AI companies.

There’s also the fact that many NPUs are pretty much useless unless used for a very specific model built for the hardware, so there’s no real point having them
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 2 weeks ago:
Sucks that Microsoft sees no reason in enforcing any resource usage limits for anything, console manufacturers do this and games run incredibly well on there, same for how Apple (despite other bullshit they pull) enforces software requirements so it can run at least functionally on the oldest supported devices.
All Microsoft has done is shoot themselves in the foot by upping the requirements so they can get lazy with coding, such as pretty much every UI component being an electron app, or how apparently a third of it is vibe coded. Meanwhile, due to the prices of devices with reasonable amounts of RAM skyrocketing, too many consumers get the bottom of the barrel configs, and then wonder why their computer is insatiably slow; it’s because Microsoft is now enforcing their laziness, possibly so they can change UI components quicker through higher level languages.
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 3 weeks ago:
From my perspective, he is probably referring to chromeOS’s crosvm container, which virtualises a debian install (or other distros). Since Chromebooks are popular in schools, predominantly in the USA but even still globally, students are likely to attempt to gain further functionality out of their devices, and hence experiment with Linux, get used to it and possibly install it on different devices (or on that same Chromebook through the mrchromebox firmware) in the future.
- Comment on ChatGPT fried my drive!? 3 weeks ago:
I actually had an AI assist me in flashing the firmware, as well as flashing a custom ROM later on, of a phone I was just testing on for fun, and I was only confident since I had a chunk of prior knowledge of ADB as well as other tools and the differences between mobile and desktop system structures, and for the stuff I didn’t understand or know, I just researched externally and figured it out.
Blindly trusting it though is a fools errand, just like myself a few years back messing with my laptop’s Linux install, copy pasting everything and then complaining when shit broke.

Cats aren’t animals, they’re robots. The reason they purr is because they have fans.
Instead of selling him, unscrew the 4 pentalobe screws to remove the stomach plate, which will then expose 2 torx T6 screws to remove the neck plate. This then exposes 3 of the 7 total torx T4 screws for the 3 frame pieces that need to be unscrewed to access the motherboard. Before accessing the motherboard, 6 Philips head screws must be unscrewed and the board then can be pulled out.
Unfortunately, most cats have soldered LPDDR5 RAM chips, and therefore can only be desoldered to extract the DRAM chips, although some models of cat sometimes do have upgradable ram, such as pre 2015 cats with standard SO-DIMM modules (usually 2 sticks from 2 to 4 GB each,) or rare high spec cats which tend to have LPCAMM modules instead (on average being 1 stick of 32gb or higher).

And on the flip side, occasional SEO fuckups cause random terms to show porn image results
For example, I was searching for millimetre wave cell towers on duckduckgo a while back, I typed “MM wave cell tower” and saw a whole bunch of massive tiddies on the standard filtering setting. They fixed this a week after me discovering it however, so if you were hoping to see tits from searching telco infrastructure, I suppose you’re outa luck.

being a 1 with ADHD is crazy, like I can be in the middle of a class and zone out and start visualising myself walking around the campus in incredible detail, or FPV droning inside a friend’s house, or really anything I can think of, although that said it takes a fair bit of effort to keep it going beyond a certain amount of time.
- Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 1 month ago:
I find it funny when they read my school emails and then accuse themselves of phishing, icing on the cake really, I won’t even need this email in a month.
That said though, just like others have mentioned, making users opt out of getting all the data wringed out of their account isn’t the most ethical strategy and frankly it’s a bit over the top.
They already scan everything from your Google drive to your YouTube recommended, google news feed, docs files, and just you browsing and using that as data for advertising and their AI. I don’t think emails are the best source of personalised information nor would assist in training new Gemini models unless they want to build an email spam bot.
- Comment on Copilot GIS Orchestra: AI-Driven Geospatial 2 months ago:
The content is also AI generated. NotebookLM and it’s feature to make videos based on sources the user provides generates a full video, and it’s 1 click unless the user wants to add a prompt for the video. A dead giveaway for this full video being generated is the thumbnail, which is from the classic visual style preset and is usually the first slide.
There is also the NotebookLM watermark in the bottom right, which is also a giveaway.
