    MASSIVE 61.44TB SSD Puts Puny Hard Drives to Shame

    Dont get me wrong, I love the idea which would almost eliminate any nvme ssd woes, I just don't like the idea of spending $100 per space as a premium to have more ssd usage. Granted I realize I'm not the target audience for this but still. Oh well I still got 3 free m.2 slots anyways in case...

    Rainsing Canes gift cards for over 30% off.

    Isn't that the true with most fast food these days? Ok maybe the size of a big mac didnt change but prices are through the roof. Hell I won't eat KFC unless I go through their mobile order because they actually have a reasonably priced bucket if chicken for $10 instead of $20

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    Not having data count against a data cap that you have I feel is fundamentally different then prioritizing data. One allows Xfinity streaming shows without hitting your cap while Netflix does count against the cap, the other is giving priority to Xfinity while slowing down Netflix

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    Fortunately it did cause backlash because said people paying are upset they dont get a perk that they bought, and people who dont are upset that it takes forever to get on rides that usually had 10 minute waits at most. The thing is the backlash isn't going to stop people buying because they...

    And look how great Lighning Lane at Disney parks are, people get to pay to have priority, but so many want priority that no one actually gets priority, so you got two groups getting screwed, those who dont pay more and end up waiting forever, and those who do pay more but they arent really...

    ChatGPT linked to declining academic performance and memory loss in new study

    Just an aside. Using calculators on a test is not a college policy, that's 100% on the teacher involved. If your college is small and only one teacher is teaching that level then yeah you could be hosed big time if you have a "this is the way I did it when I was a student" type of teacher. I...

    ChatGPT linked to declining academic performance and memory loss in new study

    What about those who specialize in history, ones in math, science, arts, etc etc? Civilization wouldn't be on any downward trend, there will still be plenty of other people to take up the good fight, there are plenty of people who would generalize, but the whole point of college is to focus...

    ChatGPT linked to declining academic performance and memory loss in new study

    See but you came from a direction of being focused on STEM, I had a very generic high school experience where I didn't really have a "track" at all, so I had the "all arounder" experience in high school, and in college I don't feel those GE courses I took really did much in the way of making me...

    ChatGPT linked to declining academic performance and memory loss in new study

    Well to be fair the ultimate goal from college is to be specialized in a singular subject, but ever the money grubbing institutions that they are you are forced to take classes in no way related to your subject all to make you a "better rounded student". If I wanted to be a better rounded...

    New Book Remembers LAN Parties and the 1990s 'Multiplayer Revolution'

    Never was into lans but there was a local Commodore Owner Workshop (COW) at the local rec center in the 80s. There was legit stuff talked about in the front but in the back, that's where all the "shady" copyfest stuff was going on, I remember packing up my c64, monitor and two floppy drives...

    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    but "gamers" are special, they are special because they are a market that will always be there year after year, more importantly they are also a market to which there is competitors vying for your customers. Crypto mining is volatile and can disappear in an instant, and it's one where you...

    Elon Musk Sues Open AI and Sam Altman for Breach of Founding Contract

    Musk always kind of rubbed me the wrong way, I was never a "fan" of Musk, I felt too much like a new "House of Jobs" type of corporate worship was on the horizon, but for me my view of him took a drastic dive after the whole Thailand cave divers incident, where he in all his arrogant AF wisdom...

    Elon Musk Sues Open AI and Sam Altman for Breach of Founding Contract

    So what you're saying is some private entity, Musk, wanted to buy controlling stake in this company... but now he's upset that some private entity bought controlling stake in the company. I means it's almost like he's a hypocrite or something.

    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    So 3 dollars a day using 100 watts? Let's see 0.1kw x 24 hrs = 2.4 kWh, at my highest energy tier which is around 53 cents that's be electrical costs of nearly $1.30, so $1.70 profit, about $620/year if the numbers are true, hell that could pay for a new CPU right there.

    The Verge: Westworld showrunners are creating a Fallout show for Amazon

    My wife loved Wheel of Time, and I didn't mind Rings of Power, granted I'm not a LOTR lorenerd so I wasn't seeing inaccuracies, and I'll admit it was like Disney+ TVshows compared to Marvel movies (the good ones) but if people were expecting Peter Jackson quality then they probably were fooling...

    Microsoft exploring options to power its datcenters using nuclear energy

    It's like the bag fee we have in CA, 25 cents per bag that MUST be charged, it's the law, and where does that money go? Help clean up plastic waste in the waterways or maybe just in the general fund for the state treasury? Nah the business that sells you the bag gets to keep it

    The Verge: Westworld showrunners are creating a Fallout show for Amazon

    The only Fallout game I played was Fallout Tactics, which I've been told is the black sheep of the Fallout family but I actually like that type of game and had a lot of fun with it. That said show looks cool to me, so I won't have nerdifying glasses on to pick apart every bit of the show, I...

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    Not to get political, I always seem to get warnings, but where are we jailing someone for being homeless? Sure places are making it so you can set up a camp, but at most they throw your stuff away and/or give them a 1 way bus ticket to SF, LA, or any number of large cities so it isn't their...

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    100% sure the way it will work is that every one of those robots (I refuse to refer to them as "AI") will also come with a hefty service contract, because just like copy machines in an office that company loses money if the machines are not working and it's worth it for the company to pay for...

    Windows 11 Pro - $29.97

    I mean if they actually do give you a new one it cant be that bad. I'm sure it's a philosophical argument here, but are grey market keys from other regions really that much different than buying stuff on Amazon where locally the price for the same goods may be quite a bit more for reasons such...

    Elon Musk Sues Open AI and Sam Altman for Breach of Founding Contract

    I'm saying there not a public street in the nation where Tesla cars can legally operate without a driver behind the wheel, the same can not be said companies like Waymo. I don't know if Teslas are good or not, but what I do know is they arent allowed to operate as such.

    Elon Musk Sues Open AI and Sam Altman for Breach of Founding Contract

    Interest you mentioned this, how long had FSD been "two years away" yet companies like Waymo and Cruise actually did it, mind you in city streets and not at high rates of speed, and they look way goofier with all the sensors and camera on the car, but it does seem like Tesla has no AI to...
