China is just sitting back, quietly developing their own domestic ddr4 and ddr5 sources.
But don’t worry folks. The us federal government is gonna save us all like they always do…
- Comment on Tennessee grandmother wrongly jailed for six months, latest victim of AI-driven misidentification — facial recognition is jailing the wrong people, but police keep using it anyway. 3 days ago:
What I find interesting is that the authoritarian right complains about the authoritarian left using “big government” to bully their favorite businesses and organizations, while the authoritarian left complains about the authoritarian right using the police to do the same.
It’s like neither side realize that the police are PART OF THAT GOVERNMENT!
- Comment on How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged? 1 week ago:
That type of thinking is no different than the christians who believe that unless everyone else believes as they do then they ALL go to hell.
That ype of “enforced community” bullshit is exactly that. Bullshit.
People spend way too much of their time worrying about everyone else. Yes, helping when you can is a good thing.
You, however, are the one professing all the doom here. If not everyone believes the right things then we are all doomed.
Except who decides what those right things are, and what will happen when you teach society to think in that way, and then some demagogue takes control, and decides to subtly start changing that that right thing is?
Why, you get what we’re going through right now, don’t you…
So no, group think is never a good idea even if the thoughts are the “right” ones.

Then let them. What does it matter to you? People are allowed to be complete morons if they wish.
- Comment on How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged? 1 week ago:
You can’t use logic to talk someone out of a position they didn’t use logic to decide on in the first place.
Those kinds of people should get nothing but scorn from the rest of us. No conversation, no attempting to change their minds.
Just pure, unadulterated scorn and derision. Nothing else. Fucking morons aren’t useful for anything other than diluting the gene pool anyway.

Set up Immich and move all your photos and videos to it.
You can also run syncthing on your android phone just fine, allowing you to simply mirror everything on it to any file server of your choice.
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 1 month ago:
I am not saying it’s worse, I’m saying it was still a collosal government fuck up that resulted in the deaths of an entire family.
Are you trying to tell me that it was ok simply because they believed in a sky daddy???
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 1 month ago:
It’s crazy that you believe that government propaganda from then, but rightfully distrust the government now.

I’ve played enough EU4 that I know exactly where it is. 🤣
- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 1 month ago:
I bought an 8G ECC RDIMM DDR4 the other day for 15 bucks cash.
Guy around my age who “bought the wrong kind” for his laptop, and forgot about it until it was too late to return it.
I’m gonna hold onto it a little longer, then see if I can’t make 30 or 40 bucks off it. 🤣
- Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom 2 months ago:
It’s cute that you think THIS is where “not taught bow to think” begins.
Ever since the first government run school was created, it’s been about teaching what to think, and not how to think.
When “public education” was first proposed in the USA, it was seen as a way of teaching the “poor unfortunates” just enough to be able to run the equipment in the factories. If you wanted your child to have an ACTUAL education, you hired private tutors.
But now, even that is frowned upon. “But kids need socializing!” Meanwhile their definition of that is a little different than simply teaching your kids how to behave around others…

Can’t speak to him, but I have used unix-like software since the 1990s.
The entire UNIX philosophy boils down to one simple fact. Everything is a file.
This makes maintenance a breeze as no special tools are needed.
You don’t need to install anything to read log files.
You can pull a hard drive from a dead system, and just read all the logs.
Most of systemd is just a solution in search of a problem.
- Comment on GOP overhaul of broadband permit laws: Cities hate it, cable companies love it 3 months ago:
In other words, city governments are mad that they can no longer hold up approvals in order to get more fees coughbribes from these companies.

- Comment on 4 months ago:
If a business charges nothing for a product then it is not the product. You are.
Sometimes that’s harmless as in they’re wanting you to try their service. Your business for other projects is still the product in that transaction.
Other times it’s your personal data that is the product and they’re wanting to then turn around and monetize that data.
But in both scenarios, you, or something of yours, is the product.
- Comment on 1X Neo is a $20,000 home robot that will learn chores via teleoperation 4 months ago:
There’s hydraulic devices you can attach to basically any door to make them close automatically, and a micro-radar presence-sensing light switch is maybe $100 bucks if that.

No. It’s just a tribute.

- Comment on New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds 5 months ago:
I had a 1989 Ford Probe without a handle that stuck out like a typical car. It was recessed instead.
Better for fuel efficiency, which was the intention of these stupid flush mount ones Tesla has been fawning over.
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 5 months ago:
I dress to avoid indecency charges.

And that’s the fault of whoever uses those hubs. You can use practically any zigbee hub you wish. Zigbee is zigbee.
- Comment on Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica 5 months ago:
You didn’t look very hard.
Cheap zigbee stuff exists everywhere. And zigbee is an open standard, so if it works, it will work until the equipment breaks.
- Comment on Which would be better? 5 months ago:
The Linux kernel isn’t really much different between any distribution of Linux.
If it works on one, it works on the rest, in like 99% of cases.
The only real exception to that is custom distributions built specifically for a particular device or subset of devices.
In other words, for embedded devices, like phones, routers, TVs and such.
And those aren’t going to be running Ubuntu.
