  Just a heads up. 91 billion in data centers is held up by local politics. Won’t be built. So expect this to soften the Ai market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is stupid. I will never rent a computer mainframe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy's active userbase has been stable since September 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Niceeee. I think people are starting to consistently leave Reddit to keep the stagnant user percentage down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speed test pits six generations of Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in this unscientific comparison⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My father bought my nephews laptops for Xmas and didn’t talk to me about it before purchasing. He got them an i3 for one and a Ryzen 7 for the other with both having 8gb of ram for the memory and I just sighed. Like what sales person convinced you to go with 8gb of ram for Windows 11? So sad for their use.

  Oh no. They’ll still ignore it. They don’t care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"i can hear the difference"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The biggest impact I ever saw was an electrical filter for advanced audio systems. It’s basically an alternator. And it was the most impressive piece of any audio system I sold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But you see. That’s the solution. Now you pay foreigners to clean up the generated code by offshoring the engineers. At 1/100 the cost.

  Shits back on the menu boys.

  Sorry to hear that. It’s wild. Dell is doing a 30% price hike because of prices. Announced today. I expect us to follow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone with a decent honey set up has these.

  My company received an email from Microsoft this week.

  “From our data you are not selling Ai features as much as your competitors and we suggest that you start changing this or you will be left behind.”

  It was a completely bullshit email. But the stupids at my company are now worried that Microsoft is tracking the features we’re selling with our computers. Like if that wasn’t the most glaring red flag “we have spent way too much money on this and we need you to prove we aren’t dumbasses” I don’t know what is.

  I still will not sell Ai outside of its basic uses. And I’m backed up by the old heads in my department. Ai is not for everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actual theft ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The funny thing about Best Buy. Is that they hire. Kinda sorta good looking women. Not exactly good looking but from a far they were. It was always so funny how it worked out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Digg 2.0 jumper in 2009. I always thought there would be a new Reddit after 2014. But it took 10 years for Lemmy to show up.

  Man. Where I grew up. People like this were murdered by the mob. Bring back the mob.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I bet we’ll start to see domestic terror attacks against server farms when more of the population loses their jobs to this bullshit.

  I ain’t saying I’m going to do it. But a man burned down the governors home in Pennsylvania. People who lose their homes and lives are not going to take this shit well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya. Material items hold memories and it can feel like losing someone close to you when that item is lost as well. My uncle gave me my grandfathers class ring after he passed and I carry it with me to every sports game I go to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pebble Time 2 has screws⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what they did with onboard usb C drives. New computers now have screwed in USB C ports in case they need to be replaced.

  I know there’s no god. Because it doesn’t melt his dick off.

  I do believe he is starting investments into new projects and needed liquid cash. I wouldn’t dig too deep into this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch me go Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya. We used to be able to have a voice there. Now the minority conservatives are pushing out the majority liberals. Piece by piece.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch me go Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m happy to be here and grow in the wind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t really realize I was middle aged until I hit 39. It’s been a blur for years. I’m finally making enough to possibly own a home soon. We’ll see how my work holds up in this economy. But honestly. I don’t even think about it. Just be you and take it one day at a time. Stop looking for tomorrow when it’s today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This collapse when we only need 1/100 of what they are planning. Because not everyone is going to need a massive data center. Just like cars, computers and every other technology. It starts out diverse than shrinksssssssss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why I don’t do it often if at all at this point. I had my fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like to make videos with it occasionally. They are fun to make.

  Oh you.

  I pay for Gemini and I haven’t used it in months. I don’t see any real case uses for me as an engineer. It just produces trash I have to fix and could have avoided if I did it myself in the beginning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  5 kids. Where two of them still need help into their 30’s and 40’s. He has never been good at finances. He has maybe enough for a decade. But not much after that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean things like health insurance that is now exponentially more expensive since they didn’t fund the ACA. Since he will no longer have private insurance. He will be paying 4x more than he would have a year ago.
