Smart glasses with a rebrand.

I’d be wary of smart glasses though, they’re the holy grail of data harvesting. Companies will be able to see exactly what holds people’s attention, what they look at most, what tempts them most, as well as see any personal information you look at, what physical goods you own and interact with, etc.

There’s a reason Google chased it so hard, and why companies like Meta are trying to do it now.

Generally unsupported means “we will not provide support for this, you’re on your own if something goes wrong”

Rather than “this will not work at all, we have ensured that”

Unfortunately most of the GPUs aren’t usable by gamers. We aren’t talking mining booms where miners buy up gaming GPU stock, then sell cheap when the bubble bursts.

We’re talking companies buying huge GPUs that don’t have video outputs and have an altered software stack to what’s used for gaming, missing all kinds of features and game specific patches.

Granted, many 4090/5090s were also used, and those will be usable by gamers, but even with a significant price drop on those, only richer gamers will find that to be viable.

Somewhat similar story for memory - a lot of it is tied up in HBM, or as GDDR on enterprise graphics cards.

I don’t really see what monarchies have to do with what’s being discussed

But but but, this way I get to feel like I’m doing something without actually doing a damn thing, and continuing to support Microsoft

Fucking hate how these shitheads take words from Tolkien’s works and bastardise them. Palantir, Anduril.

What’s next, a social credit system named “Silmaril”? An organisation that harvests the organs of homeless called “Rivendell”?

Just fucking stop.

Why are people upvoting this? Greenland left the precursor to the EU.

It doesn’t have to be the death of NATO, provided the US leaves it.

If they don’t, though, yeah, probably the end of NATO. There’s no mechanism for revoking a member’s membership.

Been hearing this for years.

That said, with Linux market share growing, it makes more sense than ever before.

I really hope they aren’t fibbing this time.

It’s just an Android phone, so yeah, it’ll have Signal.

Sorry my words hurt your feelings my guy. You were wrong though. It was a really stupid comment to make. A really really fucking dumb one.

There is more to a phone’s specs than just the amount of storage…

And 500€ for a phone with 256GB doesn’t seem bad at all, so I’m not sure what you even mean there? If you want more ram and storage, there’s the 580€ one, I guess.

Lemmy’s Tankie infestation is probably the worst thing about this platform.

SK Hynix (and Samsung) is worse than Micron.

Micron scrapped Crucial, the consumer brand they owned.

SK Hynix and Samsung never even directly sold to consumers to begin with.

SK Hynix and Samsung were the ones who signed deals with OpenAI on the same day for 40% of the entire fucking planet’s DRAM supply that kicked off the DRAM panic buying to begin with! This mess is their fault!

Micron are absolutely shifting to more profitable HBM production in order to make the most of the AI bubble, and they’re fucking us over in doing so, but IMO what they’re doing pales in comparison to the levels of fuckery that SK/Samsung have done with the shady backroom OpenAI deals. I repeat… 40% of Earth’s RAM production.

It really angers me that those two have so far escaped media wrath while Micron was exclusively taking the hit for an entire shady industry. Blame all of these fuckers. Blame OpenAI. Blame Nvidia.

No, they aren’t Marxist-leninist.

There’s no overthrowing of capitalism. China is capitalist as fuck.

Socialism is not “when the government does things”.

China is not Marxist-leninist lmao. They have a market economy.

State capitalism is not the same as Marxism.

Bullshit.

This.

I’m really tired of people letting perfect behaviour the enemy of good in every single online discussion.

I’m very well aware that parental controls aren’t a 100% foolproof protection for my daughters, but that certainly doesn’t make them useless.

Based on that mentality we may as well not ban murder, because some people break the law anyway. We may as well not have vaccines, because no vaccine is 100% effective for all people. It’s so brain-dead.

Which is now owned by Hyundai.

That pronunciation took off because Top Gear was going to record a segment about Dacia before they hit the UK market.

Top Gear did reach out to Dacia and ask how it was pronounced, but Dacia took so long replying to the email that by the time they did, Top Gear had already filmed it saying Day-see-er. It was too late.

And because of the enormous reach of Top Gear at the time, that pronunciation became solidified in people’s minds.

Or at least this was the story told by Richard Porter, the ex Top Gear producer, on his podcast.
