I thought EK was involved with Corsair's design initially? You're right though, EK disappearing just leaves a hole that Corsair is already perfectly capable of filling without spending any money on pointless M&A. I just think water cooling is a...

But why would Corsair buy them?? They have their own liquid cooling brand and product lineup. There is nothing EK offers that they don’t already do, or couldn’t do on their own.

There have been some serious questions about EK's product quality for a while now. I don't want to call it cutting corners, but there's a certain stink of doing things in a hurry.

Been scumbags IMO for a long long time. https://hardforum.com/threads/ek-issues-apology-for-threadripper-waterblocks.1954615/

And AIOs by companies like Arctic being cheaper and arguably better.

Brands like EK suffer triple when global money dries up. Let's be honest, their product is prestige nonsense that has a pretty damned small market, especially with air cooling being so damned good now. I'm long done with water cooling and I was...

Great, now TPB is the only place to get them.

I really do like the idea of using storage for this, especially given how fast storage is getting. I love the potential uses of all this, but I really want to see it local. If a smart home ever becomes something other than a burden, making it...

Actually there have been some really solid advances in PyTorch that let LLM’s use a combination of local storage and RAM (both system and vram) as locations for running the models. Obviously there are speed differences but changes in the LLM’s...

I hope the AI stuff is good, because it's pretty cool tech, it should continue to be that way even after the hysteria and the hype die down. My MBP looks like it went through the Boer War and fought on both sides, maybe I finally replace Ol Yeller.

I was reading about Apple's plan to run local machine learning partially from storage and the first thought I had was "Apple will do anything to enshitify the specs of their low end". It's a logical approach to all this AI nonsense, but it's...

Great, that's just the thing I want to see right before I head to the sweet hereafter.

There's a moment when the bot is jumping up the boxes that it stumbles and for just a moment there the movement is almost perfectly human. I mean it fails and all, but the attempted recovery looks just like a person falling and trying to recover...

M&A still remains the number one way massive incumbents can stifle competition and deter innovation in any given market space.

Sweet, now the orchard people can make copy/paste mosaics like the cool kids do.

There are a number of organizations and people that work devotedly to ease those requirements. Lawyers and police are seeking them.

Damnit I love a play on words, the only thing better is when it's not deliberate. I like to think that there were a number of sensible chuckles as people read that.

Inflation Reduction Act

People want to label everything they dislike with the buzzword they hate the most or heard last these days. But globalism has nothing to do with ownership. Even calling it feudalism is a big stretch as feudalism describes more the social...
