“Turns out we didn’t even need to invade Taiwan LOL”, but in Chinese

School taught me that writers and artists had pen names for a reason, and reality has persistently shown that nothing has changed in that regard. If anything, it has become even more of a prerequisite.

That’s what reddit is now, a place for people to vent, and have them cattled up if they become too much of a nuisance.

I suddenly have an urge to upvote banned content. Talk about being insecure. That post was soon followed up by another of the “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong” sort.

Ah, yes, their new thoughtcrimes initiative. Would be far more ok with this if there was any sort of transparency on reddit. At the very least, it would make it clear what it is they are trying to suppress. It’s still funny to me how many people here seem to hate transparency.

If Brother starts playing that game, they will lose. Why bother buying their considerably more expensive printers over those of HP if they are going to be just as bad in the third party ink department?

I mean, it can. US projects a lot of its influence from its technology dominance, but AI has the potential of turning that mountain of an advantage into a molehill, and the thing about AI that investors don’t want to admit is that it reaches a performance ceiling, so investing more into it might be good for the short term, not so good for the long-term. Unfortunately, it’s still going to savage through salaries and job availability - but this also affects the biggest economies more than it does the lesser ones. Crypto, AI, tech is at least helping the technological Silicon Valley hegemony shoot itself in the foot.

Just in case people didn’t know they were heading into a personality cult dictatorship already.

No. There’s this thing called laws and regulation, shill. Go back to the shitter of a country whose recycled garbage arguments you are propping up that just decides to label those regulations “deep state” in crayon before throwing them in the gutter. Outside of it, our governments still have a fair decent number of them and they are still holding fast against the number of idiots in their respective society that are being feed the most ignorant and reactionary form of propaganda because their governments haven’t rotted by a resounding patriotic “we are perfect, why bother with actual reform?”

You are pretty much the case in point: Grossly stereotyping the alternative into a perspective only based on extreme prejudice with an ample amount of pet peeves projected from personal experience. Like, I was actually expecting to see at least one valid counterpoint, like how much corporate interests shit on and ransack OSS, or the inherent dichotomy between software maintained out of goodwill in an environment that’s increasingly defined by greed and intellectual property bullshit inside failing economies, but nope.

Good thing that the US has a monopoly on chips and they don’t mostly come from Asia/China, right?

The only thing this is assuring is that other places like Europe don’t pass through US brands before getting their computer equipment. If China was already good at one thing, it was at creating generic brands to bypass things like US IP for other regions. Now, the US has given them an additional stimulus in doing so. Hell, it has even given other countries a reason to support China over Taiwan. If you are looking for something to invest in, might want to look into investing in AliExpress.

He only cares about free speech when he can control what and whom it is flooded to. If you disagree with him, it will get automatically prioritized for the trash heap and chances are his critics will have worked it out of their system to bother complaining somewhere else, giving him a two for one.

Implying they already have it from Google’s side.

It’s been a couple of years since Teslas were the go-to option, at least this is making people catch up to the fact.

“Whistleblows”. What a moronic take, in this regard taking the word of Edward Snowden is like taking the word of a random stranger in the street. At least we know on what Edward Snowden is likely spending his days on in Russia: Gaming. Wouldn’t blame him, it’s not like he can freely travel.

Fortunately, they will be crippling themselves in the console market doing shit like this, so there should still be plenty of choice left. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bethesda eventually released a non-ray tracing version of the game after whatever deal they signed with NVIDIA expires and they consider porting the game to platforms without RT support.

I wish AMD or Intel released a GPU with upgradable VRAM, that would mean they would become even more viable for fuckbot training. People go the 3090 GPU route in the second hand market for them because all they care about is VRAM size, they don’t care if its two generations old.

After NVIDIA’s marketplace partner botched my order after I paid it and them not taking any responsibility whatsoever, I’m pretty sure I’m well on my way to becoming an AMD fan boy now. Maybe an Intel fan boy, depending on how they continue improving their GPUs. But a lot of GPU development in the future is going to go hand in hand with geopolitics, so it will be interesting to see how that goes.

No, but calling a lot of people stupid does border around rule 2.

Talk about a shitload slice of the irony pie, the industry that has not given two shits about intellectual property is getting undone by the masters of intellectual property theft and they don’t even have a recourse because of the bed they’ve made. Now, it’s time to lie in it.
