If you’re building new microslop installations in 2026 you deserve everything you get.

You’ll find that it’ll work just fine on 100W USB C unless you have a dGPU in which case it really wants the bigboy power brick.

If it makes you feel better, soon there will be adapters from USB PD 3.1 to 230W Lenovo Square sooner or later. And sometimes, older thinkpads with the square and circle connectors have had little kits made to give them USB C charging. Its only a matter of time.

And for what its worth, if it wasn’t gonna be C, Lenovo Square is a good one since I have tons of them knocking about.

Since some cars can do v2l (vehicle to load) the oppoite is a valid product, a CCS connector to USB C for driving other loads from the cars pack.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My phone, iPad, and laptop finally all use the same USB-C charger. The galaxy is at peace.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
USB PD now supports up to 230W so thats on the manufacturerer being lazy, or the design having elements that are a few years old, since PD recently got that update.

I’m guessing its a lenovo, 170W is one of their bigger bricks.

But the next laptop you have might use the same charger as your ebike, so there’s that.

But you’re proving my point. They’re a dead end and technologically LLM as a vector towards AGI is like thinking Rotaries are a vector for motoring… They’re not and they’re not.

Dozens of annual sales I’m sure.

If that’s the case where are they? Other than being used in israeli suicide drones.

Yeah we used to do things like messing with your history, messing with local storage, messing with your browser cache, messing around with flash and other exploitable plugins.

I can make you download a specific favicon and ID you that way.

Also, most peoples browsers are actually quite unique in terms of fingerprint. My browser, for example, is unique among the 4.8M fingerprints in their database.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Germany’s CDU Pushes Real-Name Social Media Mandate and ID Checks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Its not about permissions, its about giving you the occular patdown and making observations.

I don’t need to know who you are, but that you’re unique and heres how I tell you are you.

I can later relate that back to PII if I’m clever.

I hated working in the marketing/tracking space.

I’m 90% certain that none of the resources being “bought” by AI actually have been sold, or created yet.

Either warehouses of GPUs and RAM are gonna go in a shredder in 12 months, or they’re just decreasing supply and charging more, like the auto industry.

Speaking of the auto industry: Is AI a mirage, like the dreams of a working rotary engine? Many companies have tried, but it keeps killing companies and it still is an impossible goal. The technology projects a mirage for investors that it just can’t reach.

AGI isn’t coming out of LLMs and statistical weights.

Their model, which has scraped the internet and therefore by definition knows how to make a pipe bomb, cannot be proven that it wont tell the user how.

The guard rails are impossible to build because LLMs aren’t deterministic.

In the bad old days where I was forced to make spyware in exchange for a white collar paycheque, we used to make things called “supercookies” that used basically any fingerprint, storage, glitches of a browser to store a token or otherwise identify you with or without identity

We had something like 98% confidence even if you had no cookies, based on just using JS to eyeball your browser and probing it.

Not saying its a “supercookie” but the internet is funny like that. The current bleeding edge of it seems to be abusing favicon caches

I did, I’ve deleted my habitual bookmark and put lemmy in the same place on the bar.

But the volume of discourse isn’t quite here yet.

But I do like not being banned (twice, the second time an experiment to determine if it was automated, it was) for suggesting Peter Thiel should be turned into soup.

To the point that I’m gonna get it printed on a T-shirt.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Germany’s CDU Pushes Real-Name Social Media Mandate and ID Checks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

some actual recourse when you get banned?

I’m banned from reddit from suggesting that Peter Thiels assets should be liquidated, the man turned to soup.

The most banal of opinions is now automatically being banned.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You NEED To Selfhost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Uhhuh so they’re tooling up to make devices for a company that wont exist soon for datacenters that have no power.

All that shit is going in the landfill and they will be desperately repackaging HBM into consumer products. Bet.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You NEED To Selfhost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
The whole thing is speculation because its based off the back of letters of intent, no real contracts for anything. Its all still, currently, smoke and mirrors until something is inked and someone gets paid (or atleast, finance agreed)

So right now, we’re watching bullshit speculators sink the market. And/or restricted supply being used to milk us like cows.

They wont let them leave because it’d be falling into “the competitions” hands.

They’ll shred every single last bit of silicon.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks a lot, AI: Hard drives are already sold out for the entire year, says Western Digital⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
25% of the datacenters being constructed right now will go bankrupt.

The majority of this AI surge is for datacenters that neither have power nor water.

Its all gonna end up being shredded, if it exists at all.

All of those GPUs will be irrelevent in 24 months, and almost all of them are useless to consumers.

Its by design, its intentional.

They want you hooked to their cloud teat.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You NEED To Selfhost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Its by design, I swear. They don’t have anywhere to run any of this gear, its all piling up somewhere.

Either that or it doesn’t exist and what we’re seeing is price gouging based on hypothetical demand based off of “letters of intent” that aren’t actually worth the paper they’re written on.

I think its the latter.

Mmhmm, its also not early round funding so… where are they gonna get 3bn to pay back their investors? Or even break even at 1bn?

Its a usability and discoverability nightmare and its continuously probing my system in ways that I don’t want it to.

The usability is complete and total ass unless you’ve grown up knowing no better.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The main issue is you’ll never get the cretins that use it off it. Communities… they’re just sitting there burning the library of alexandria… all the esoteric knowledge they’re “putting on discord” is just gonna vanish.

over a billion in vc funding and discord is as shit as it is.
