May I introduce the dot-com bubble? That whole internet company thing sure turned out to be useless fad, huh?

Just like back then, people don’t really yet know what AI is useful for, or what it can actually in its current and the near future form do, but they are throwing it against the wall to see what stick because if someone manages to find the winning formula first, they’ll be unbelievably rich. See, this small book store called “Cadabra” - you may know it better by their current name: Amazon. Or a silly side project of a General Magic employee everyone said was stupid and useless, Ebay.

AI will be over hyped, over used, the bubble will burst, and we’ll be left with the ones that actually made a lick of sense from usability and cost standpoint.

Their hardware check knows it isn’t, unless your PC repots as having an AMD AMD Custom GPU 0405, or AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV VANGOGH).

They can try, but all it takes for full access to Lemmy (or Mastodon etc) is one instance that isn’t based in the UK and doesn’t care about their laws.

I got my moms old cats to take care of, they are 18 and 16, and refuse to eat anything else but Latz (aka Felix). I’ve tried a bunch of different ones both for variety and because that’s a Nestlé brand I’d rather not buy, but they just won’t eat any of them, so Latz it is.

If you want more info about this type of a storage solution, look up Onkalo in Finland.

Well, that’s great, if the price is entirely made up by the Raspi foundation and not actually caused by the massively increased memory fab costs, it means the competition is going to release a much cheaper version any day now and steal the entire market from them.

Cheapest 16GB DDR5 stick I could go buy from the local computer parts store here in Finland is currently 363€, or $406.

It’s most likely some script kiddie taking advantage of hilariously bad security practices. The attack three weeks ago was because the freezers were directly connected to the internet, running old vulnerable firmware with the username “admin” and the password always being the current date. This is probably going to end up being a similar case - might even literally be the same case, three weeks (and IIRC there’s been an update fixing it for six months) is such a short time to unplug your vulnerable freezers from the internet, after well.

He has lived there since 1989 and has a US citizenship since 2002.

One can always obviously argue that it doesn’t count and that he is South African because of his Father and because he was born there, and/or Canadian because his mother is Canadian, but in that case the telephone is a Scottish (Alexander Graham Bell), gramophone a Russian (Emile Berliner) and the zipper a Swedish (Gideon Sundback) invention - all made by US immigrants with citizenships.

You own land, and you decide to plant it full of one type of crop because the forecast promises you an excellent harvest. You don’t have money, so you get a deposit from people buying the crop, in return of a certain share of the harvest. But most people that did so actually believe the forecast was very conservative and the crop will end up even bigger, so they’ll expect more than you promised.

Then the forecast changes, and the harvest might end up smaller, and much smaller than the people expected. Some want their deposit back, but to do so they have to sell that share to someone else, but they buy it with the current forecast and demand, and pay way less for it.

People buying Caterpillar expected for a massive construction boom. Any kink to that forecast is going to cause some people to reconsider and pull their money to the next potential company able to fly to the moon.

It removes them from all the suggestion places like the discovery queue and front page. For search results IIRC you have to ignore individual titles, and set your steam search settings to default to “hide ignored items”.

First game I activated was a retail copy of Half-Life Platinum Pack, in August 2004. I had made by account few months earlier just for fun right after Steam originally launched.

The first games I bought from Steam specifically was the Orange Box, and AudioSurf in 2007.

The orange box was $61, which inflation adjusted means it cost $99 :)

Kinda. They tend to result in a phone that is too big to be comfortable, that open to a tablet that is too small to be all that useful.

The Duo has a cover screen that is 5.4 inches and it unfolds to 7.6", while being thicker, bigger and heavier than a 18 pro max with a 6.9" screen. Is the pro max a tablet already then, it’s quite dang close in screen size after all.

They can, the issue is accurately limiting the block only to users in France, as they reasonably refuse to make a French ordered block a worldwide one.

If I was Quad9, I would request a list of every IP used in France from the courts that needs to be prevented from accessing the DNS, so that they can’t use it. How else could Quad9 know which users they aren’t allowed to legally serve, right?

5090 is a consumer GPU kinda like a Bugatti Veyron is a consumer car, technically true, but if your goal is to get any sort of reasonable value for your money you really shouldn’t buy either of them.

Something like a 5070 is 25% slower, but you can buy seven of them for the price of one 5090.

That’s the normal version.

Two of them went boof, both carrying 2 million barrels of oil, which is around $200 million worth. Each.

But the door was locked! I locked it real good! They broke in, I was robbed!

Oh, the key? I keep that well secured under the doormat. Also all the houses use the same key so they don’t get mixed up, pretty convinient eh?

Makes sense to have them connected for remote monitoring and alarms and such, when a big freezer malfunctions you don’t have much time to save the merchandize before they are all legally unsellable. It’s too late when the morning staff finds everything thawed out. But that should be purely read-only access.

They ran out of them. The index hasn’t been produced for almost a year now, and first they ran out of spare lighthouses (though HTC still sells compatible ones) and now it seems they ran out of the full kits and put all the rest to a clearance sale.
