- Comment on China Just Turned Off U.S. Supplies Of Minerals Critical For Defense & Cleantech 2 weeks ago:
Tech or precisely it’s real world applications affect everything, including politics.
- Comment on LAPD Surveilled Gaza Protests Using This Social Media Tool 5 weeks ago:
Wow this company is not scary at all… A another tool which whole point is to prevent any change from happening in the name of security. Not only will it not succeed, but because the powers that be want to build dams and not solve contradictions underlying the problem, they will just make the end result more abrupt, violent and bloody.
- Comment on "There comes a time when we all declare the war is over": Former PlayStation Studios boss Shawn Layden on the future of video game consoles 5 weeks ago:
One major argument for consoles is still that there is a single unified platform that gives better bang-for-buck than PC of the same price, and that studios can dev and optimize their games on more easily.
- Comment on "There comes a time when we all declare the war is over": Former PlayStation Studios boss Shawn Layden on the future of video game consoles 5 weeks ago:
That is not how their business model works. The consoles themselves are sold almost at cost of production or at a loss. The money for Microsoft, Nintendo, Microsoft comes from those exclusives and live service subscriptions. They want to maximize the amount of their hardware in homes and then make the money on selling the thing that actually makes them useful.

- Comment on AMD's new RX 9000 GPUs only officially support UEFI systems 1 month ago:
Wasn’t uefi a must already for windows 10 computers? Atleast for win 11 it is. We are probably talking 10-20% max of global computers that are affected and those also the type of computers that are not generally upgrading to RDNA4.
- Comment on How North Korea pulled off a $1.5 billion crypto heist—the biggest in history 1 month ago:
Your thinking seems to assume the liberal society as static and unchanging and seek to make life within it more tolerable, even with things that are mostly just product of current society and it’s ills.
- Comment on How North Korea pulled off a $1.5 billion crypto heist—the biggest in history 1 month ago:
This, flat GDP really only accurately measures US economy and maybe the Euro zone. With others it becomes increasingly useless in really estimating anything concrete about that economy. Doubly so if they are sanctioned.
- Comment on How North Korea pulled off a $1.5 billion crypto heist—the biggest in history 1 month ago:
Crypto really is a perfect target for this kind of bank robbery, nobody can really feel too bad about it. It adds nothing to society, since you can’t even buy anything with it beside drugs and is mostly used for speculation and creating pollution.
- Comment on God of War trilogy remaster announcement set for March 2025 2 months ago:
They can’t. It’s too sweet of a deal when there is an already existing fanbase ready to give them their money for much less work and risk than building a totally new game.
- Comment on Perplexity open sources R1 1776, a version of the DeepSeek R1 model that CEO Aravind Srinivas says has been “post-trained to remove the China censorship”. 2 months ago:
Now that it has been “freedomized” it instead says that Israel is actually 3000+ years old and Palestinians are invaders, and Israel has the right to defend itself like chatgpt and that American style liberal democracy is the peak of human development and civilization. Don’t kid yourself that this has anything to do with truth or making it more “accurate”. Yeah just replace one set of official truths, half thrush with other set of official positions, half truths and outright lies to plug the gaps. Again, who fact checks the factcheckers? Even just out of spite I would not use any model that advertises itself as being trained to answer to the sensibilities of a western techbro liberals so that they can once more outsource their thinking to outside party, because at-least it isn’t the CCP.
I just don’t get it man. What kind of non thinking cretin purposefully uses this kind of model?
- Comment on Hope you weren’t planning to play PhysX games on Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs 2 months ago:
Yeah you are going to get “horrible” 100fps lows in AC4 and borderlands 2 whit physx enabled.
How many of the two dozen games affected were already capped engine wise to 60 or 30fps because of console ports? If you can afford 5000-series then you probably also have a processor that can more than enough offset the GPUs workload. AC4 for example came out when gtx 980 was bleeding edge. It’s just what AMD GPU users have been living with for decades, and not even really noticing. Even my three gen old low tier AMD laptop with integrated graphics can eek out 30+ fps in mirrors edge with physX on and all graphics maxed. I’m sure all of these games will be fine.

Oo, it has a demo out already?
- Comment on Carbon capture more costly than switching to renewables, researchers find 2 months ago:
Water is wet, researchers find
Like basic thermodynamics can tell you that carbon capture sucks efficiency wise. It’s more work to pour water on the floor and then mopping it up and putting a back into the bottle, than just not not spilling the water in the first place.
- Comment on Arm's to launch first self-made processors, poaching employees from clients: Reports 2 months ago:
I would think, in the US, antitrust laws would apply. ARM is brittish Is this different from Intel and x86 architecture? (Genuinely asking) yes the ARM architecture is it’s own thing, licensed by ARM.
- Comment on Arm's to launch first self-made processors, poaching employees from clients: Reports 2 months ago:
It can be really bad for the industry if ARM is both a producer of chips and the gatekeeper within the ARM ecosystem. I don’t know if there are laws against this or loopholes through them, but what is going to prevent them from just withholding license or technologies to push competition out?
- Comment on Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it - News Cafe 2 months ago:
“America is becoming fascist” makes me cringe.
It cannon become something that it has been for a long time. US was fascist under Clinton, Bush, Obama, first Trump admin, Biden and it keeps on the same track now. It’s less than useless rallying cry when US foreing policy alone in the past 70 years is a realworld example of the thought experiment of “what would have happened if nazi-germany had won WW2”. Genocide, war, coup, and dictatorship galore committed by the United States, especially after the 80s.
In the end what this narrative is about is that precarious middle class liberals fear that even more of the practices that US has been spreading around the world are now coming home and now the US government will gut it’s own people instead of some foreigners. Even this isn’t unprecedented and at worst Trump can only make things worse for some, but for many what they fear is already reality.
Makes me really think if this “Anonymous cell” has any real grass-roots basis or if it’s just the same coup-mongers hiding behind thin leftist veneer to just jump against Trump, who they see as destructive loose cannon to their operations, not as an real opponent. Nothing new for Anonymous name being used in this way btw. Where were they under Biden?
