- Comment on CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U 1 day ago:
It’s interesting that in the screenshot in the article, the CPU is identified as a Ryzen 5 7430U but then it gives the codename “Lucienne”, which is the 5500U’s name. So apparently they didn’t fake it perfectly.
- Comment on CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U 1 day ago:
They’re from different generations though. 5500U is Zen 2 while 7430U is Zen 3.

Can these processors use the same motherboard? It might be a big effort to make a custom one for review, more than just dropping in another part. And more costly too, if it meant redesigning other parts.
- Comment on AI Translations Are Adding ‘Hallucinations’ to Wikipedia Articles 1 day ago:
A person could easily pick up the errors if they checked the translation, but one of the worst things about AI is how it trains everyone to be too lazy to bother.

God sounds like a jerk. It’s freezing out there.

You can pick up malware from a website or an advert on a website. You can pick it up by a friend bringing an infected device and attaching it to your home network. You can pick it up from a phishing link or attachment. You can run an IoT device that downloads malware and propagates it to other machines on your network. You can install a dodgy app on your phone. You can run an application that has a chain of dependencies down to some obscure backdoored library (xz). You can run software that downloads automatic updates and whose update server was compromised (Notepad++) or whose signing certificate was compromised. You can pick it up because someone else in your family did any one of these things or many others.
Malware isn’t just for people who do obviously dangerous things like downloading cracks and keygens.

Or I get an incurable cancer.
So you are planning to upgrade?
- Comment on It's rude to show AI output to people 5 days ago:
That’s my boss. He isn’t a programmer and I have done it professionally for 25 years, but he has taken to sending me not only feature requests but also pages of AI-generated code, and now he expects me to do the work instantly since I can just paste in what he sent me. He thinks he’s being helpful. I’ve asked him to leave the implementation to my team but he can’t help himself. I don’t know how you explain it to someone so bad at reading the room.

OK, and the point of the thread was that it’s still a good thing if they quit it now. No one can undo past mistakes but you can decide not to keep making them.

- Comment on US | Trump announces ‘major combat operations’ in Iran to ‘protect Americans’ 6 days ago:
Because Iran was causing Americans so badly problems every day. A world war will surely keep Americans safe.
And remember, the “imminent” threat any day now from Iranian missiles is something Netanyahu has been saying since 1995.

Their post history reveals them to be kind of a jerk. If it was an attempt at sarcasm it was a bad one.

The frustrating thing is we can’t boycott AWS since so many of the sites we use run on it. But yes, we absolutely shouldn’t buy things through Amazon or any of the other web stores Amazon owns.
