Ditto. 7800X3D is a beast for games and I don’t give half a shit about productivity performance on my gaming machine. I got mine for around $350 early this year and I’m absolutely floored that it’s now over $400. That’s not the direction things are supposed to go.

I think we may be in the last generations of x86’s desktop and laptop dominance. All phones and now all Macs run on ARM-based chips and they do just fine while sipping watts, compared to x86’s two big proponents both having faltering launches on their latest generations with ever higher TDPs where you only get more processing power by using more electrical power.

Fantastic choices. Outer Wilds for me.

It’s hard to believe that it would have taken 25 years for the many SD card builders out there to figure out that a heat spreader could solve the degradation problems.

I feel like dealing with SD cards’ inevitable demise is more important than armoring them. What good is a stainless SD card that no longer functions after 2 years of use?

I’ve become a fan of the “We’re already in a black hole” theory. The Schwarzschild radius for the mass of the known universe is larger than the radius thereof.

It’s probably not correct but I do like it.

I don’t speak French, but I did translate “cat, I farted” into French on Google Translate and had it dictate the result. It sounds a good deal like ChatGPT, especially if you’re primed to listen for it.

EDIT: Or at least it used to. Now, if you translate “cat, I farted” it gives you “Cat, j’ai pété” and pronounces the C as a hard C, like it reads. Maybe it’s deciding that “cat” on its own is the name “Cat,” and thus not in need of translation. If you give it different context you get the expected result, as with translating “I had to tell the cat, I farted” you get back “J’ai dû dire au chat, j’ai pété,” which when pronounced the last bit sounds as expected.

They subscribe to the theory that less forward acceleration is the same thing as slowing down.

Yikes! Did you need any surgery?

Just write a script that runs periodically to check the log’s size and delete when its near the crash threahold.

I’d be careful asking people if they’re stupid and speculating that they’re clueless when you are apparently unwilling to producing a link to the data you quote.

Standardized interchangeable batteries would be neat. Pull into a battery station, a machine swaps out your packs and you’re on your way faster than a fill-up.

You’re so close, now just give me a link to the data that you are citing.

And then it will still be an annoying, stupid way to advertise.

Bruh I just want you to supply the data you claim to be citing. It’s super easy and standard practice. It is not my job to research the point I think you are making.

Or, you could simply say you don’t have data to back up what you said. Either works and neither is as embarrassing as coming back to this well over and over while entirely missing that I just want to see your data.

Hey, look who it is, the person who keeps replying without linking the mountains of data they’re referencing.

They can keep the problem from starting, but any processors that are already impacted need to be RMA’d

So you keep saying.

You said the data shows it yet showed no data. You have explained your opinion and expect the reader to mistake is as fact.

I think that if you asked most people if they want advertising that centers around grown adults making idiot faces at the content they created themselves they would say no.

It’s not seeing a face in a thumbnail that bothers me. It’s when the expression on the face is one of absolutely fake surprise and shock that I take issue.

The funny thing is that Biden’s had gaffes like this his whole career and could have laughed it off under other circumstances, but with the eyes of the entire world on him watching for him to have another senior moment this is another nail in the coffin.
