  GPU shortage V.2?

  I mean, did the first one ever end?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Electric Bills⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  When there is a finite amount of something and someone with more money wants it, it makes the price of it for everyone go up to make it so that some people can no longer afford to compete for the resource, making it available for the higher spender.

  Same thing with land & property on it, the working class can’t afford to buy housing now, because rich people want to use housing as an investment vehicle.

  Food is another

  Ultimately it’s the same problem across the board and the only solution is a wealth tax to prevent densely concentrated capital from distorting the market

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"i can hear the difference"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah it’s CD quality on everything and 24/96 on most stuff

  You can also send bitstream over it for most pre Blu-ray multichannel formats

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"i can hear the difference"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  FWIW toslink supports up to 125mbps theoretically

  Much lower in practice of course, but it’s a bit better than 128k

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Try our new cheesedogs!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Those are some heavy links

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deepfakes Leveled up in 2025—Here’s What’s Coming Next⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the rate this stuff has progressed in a few years, don’t count on being able to recognise it by eye forever.

  And frankly, even if a large minority of people can still identify the difference immediately (which tbh I reckon is close to the point we’re at now), that makes for a majority that will glance at an image and take it as real without question.

  Those people can vote and shape our world

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deepfakes Leveled up in 2025—Here’s What’s Coming Next⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Where do we go from here?

  Looks like oblivion, frankly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't tall people also wider?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I am both

  I look more like a scaled up person than a conventional tall guy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How giving up on homeownership could be changing young Americans’ lives⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bezos post telling people to give up on the idea of owning anything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is 100.00% decompiled⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahhh that little bit makes a bit more sense but a cool bit of trivia at least.

  I know the shield uses the same processor as the switch 1 (or something very similar), so I wondered if there was a chance of an actual native port, but then I guess we’d have also seen a switch native version in that case

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is 100.00% decompiled⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry there’s an android version of Twilight princess?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about Psyllium husk⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh really? I’ve been having it the same time as my vitamins, should I space them out then

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve discontinues the entry-level Steam Deck, considerably raising the starting price⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A tenner says this is due to the component price inflation we’re in the middle of

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We've all bean there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay why the fuck is the exact comment I planned to make the only comment that already exists in this thread

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"...I can give you 5 more." "You're a madwoman!"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I kinda hate these achievements exist

  I opened it once then didn’t play the original for 5 years to get the bloody achievement. It was good fun after the wait

  Kinda not sure I’m gonna actually bother to wait 10 for the next.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The LCD Steam Deck's days are coming to an end, as Valve wind down production of the OG model⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised they were still making it tbh, I assumed it was just existing stock

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we produce so much porn?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think other civilisations would see it as any different to reality television

  It’s ultimately just videos of humans doing human things

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best way to support Lemmy specifically and the Fediverse in general financially?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Donate to Lemmy (or Piefed) development directly, then your home instance. If you’ve still got some cash burning a hole in your pocket, donating to instances that host communities you particularly care about is also something you can do

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Met announces extra policing for 'Unite the Kingdom' protest in London on Saturday⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And especially given the thugs beat up the literal police last time, they’ll treat all attendees with the same zero tolerance they displayed with the pensioners wearing Palestine action tee shirts …

  Right…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are plenty of hobbies where you can happily enjoy it and only ever spend little if anything.

  On the other hand, I’ve found it’s pretty uncommon to find a hobby where you can’t optionally fall down an expensive rabbit-hole of some kind, usually around any kind of equipment or tools you might need as part of some hobby.

  Thankfully for most hobbies that kind of thing is not required to enjoy it. You don’t need a fancy guitar to enjoy playing; you can read books from the library, you don’t need to collect your own; in most big enough cities (in Europe at least) you don’t even need to own a bike to go for a cycle (though regularly using bike rental schemes might be a sign to just get a bike)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The AI Backlash Is Here: Why Backlash Against Gemini, Sora, ChatGPT Is Spreading in 2025 - Newsweek⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yes, technology improvements that mean humans can work less are only a good thing if you have an economic system that actually prioritises general wellbeing over enriching a tiny percentage of the population.

  Americans are the most fucked because the majority of the public view socialism and adjacent philosophy as being bad, despite really being the only ideologies with any real answers for what happens to people that can’t work for a living, that isn’t just them dying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HDD prices spike as AI infrastructure and China's PC push collide — hard drives record biggest price increase in eight quarters, suppliers warn pressure will continue⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Optical drives next I guess lol

  What’s even going on anymore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm

  My immediate reaction is “stay in your lane, Gabe”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM is ruining everything⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The ram cartel produces exactly enough ram to keep prices stable, increased demand means the produced supply is not sufficient so prices rise

  This is not a capacity issue, it’s forced scarcity and collusion laid bare

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Snapchat manipulates its users through notifications⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Facebook did this shit too when I last had the app installed

  You’d get a notification about one of your friends and clicking it just took you to some random brand’s main feed page

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨should I go back to my old job now that several people, some of them more knowledgeable than me have told me they don't understand my decision to quit it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The point of life is to enjoy it

  You seemingly made the choice to make your life less stressful for about the same compensation as you got before for a stressful job.

  I don’t think you need to be particularly smart to understand that’s a pretty great trade off. Just from what you’ve written here, I completely understand your reasoning and it makes complete sense to me.

  Your colleagues are giving crabs in a bucket energy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn I’ve bought a lot of crucial stuff over the years

  I assume they’re my current memory kit too since I pretty much always go with them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Championship Manager 01/02 is legally available for free⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well getting this running on my steam deck has just become one of the top 10 entries on my to-do list

  Well that was a fun journey

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix kills casting from phones⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol why?

  Genuinely seems pretty arbitrary given you need to use their app to start the cast anyway
