Got a chuckle at this response, though....

I feel like you struggled with your phrasing. I'll help.

"Blockchain is a scam."

The majority of Reddit discourse on this is wild. The crowd there is going HARD to try and paint IA in the most negative light possible.

I know we don't like Reddit here, but for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1g7w0rh/internet_archive_issues_continue_this_time_with/

It's almost as if the "hackers" and/or copyright holders are running that conversation.

The fact that the Russian government came out this fast and said they need a version with their own commits is, perhaps, telling.

Okay, cool...

So, how much longer before Nvidia stops slapping a "$500-600 RTX XX70" label on a $300 RTX XX60 product with each new generation?

The thinly-veiled 75-100% price increases aren't fun for those of us not constantly-touching-themselves over AI.

Actual pharmacist here, working in pharmacy IT.

Unlike other industries, Pharmacy is not particularly thrilled about or interested in AI. In fact, my hospital explicitly blocks access to all LLMs.

I was actually kind of hoping to see what Microsoft is claiming here, and just walked away from this post more confused.

I find it interesting that there appears to be a line (kids that grew up with a Nintendo DS) where people went from loving membrane buttons to hating membrane buttons.

To me, membrane buttons are an absolute Pro.

People are now conditioned to need INSTANT GRATIFICATION FOR EVERYTHING ALWAYS!

"I want a Steam Deck! I can't actually afford these new prices! I'm buying it anyways!"

Then retailers see the insane prices people pay for stuff without blinking. Steam Decks sell out after a 40% markup. RAM & SSDs & HDDs sell out at 4x what they sold for a year ago. So the prices never go back down.

And everyone goes full surprised-Pikachu-face when everything is now always goddamn expensive.

Show some fucking restraint for once, people!

Goddamn.

Unfortunately, on every launch, AMD looks at Nvidia's price gouging and says, "Yeah that pricing looks good for us, too."

(I played the shit out of Zelda II.... and I liked it.)

1Gbps symmetrical speeds with unlimited data for $50/mo

God I wish I lived in the 2% or so of the geographic U.S. that had access to service like this. It's $116/mo here for Comcast's 1000/150Mbps service, capped at 1.2TB. Costs an extra $30 to remove that cap.

A lot of stuff ONLY has viable Q&A discussion there....

As much as I love the idea of Lemmy, try finding active communities here for: MAME or any other videogame emulation... Plex... The breed of your family dog/cat... Most any sort of non-Fedi-focused brand/podcast/personality...

Yes, I can create a new community. Then I just sit in it by myself, and occasionally deal with spam.

A year after consoles.

Rockstar knows how to get that double dip more than anyone else.

Wait until they make all the money that was to be made on their game.

Then yoink all of that money.

Who would've thought.... 3DFX was apparently ahead of its time...

I just don't connect my Hisense to the Internet, and let my Nvidia Shield TV do all the "Smart" stuff. 🤷‍♂️

Someone buys fake on eBay. Plays it. Sells it to Gamestop. Minimum wage employee does not spot that it's fake and it ends up on the used game shelf.

None of this is new.

Obama renamed Mt. McKinley to Denali by executive order. Trump is using executive order to rename it back.

Biden outlawed oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Trump used executive order to rename it so the Gulf of Mexico "doesn't exist". (EDIT: Actually the naming appears to be unrelated to this. The drilling ban was specifically reversed in a different executive order that reversed several Biden EOs)

It's all questionable use of executive order. But which party is going to step up and say "the last guy did it, but our guy shouldn't be able to ignore checks & balances anymore"?

I believe the last time I had to do a Windows re-install, I was nagged THREE times to enable OneDrive. Each time, the opt out button was increasingly difficult to locate, and the verbiage more & more resembling "you're an idiot if you don't enable this".

Even after refusing to use it x3, once Windows was installed, OneDrive was still sitting down in the system tray, ready to fuck shit up.

Adding an option for webhooks at scheduled dispense times would open up some cool opportunities for nerds like us to create automated dispensing units.
