  • Micron locks in historically high memory prices for five years

  • Does it go something like this? Those companies who buy the NAND chips to make AI accelerators, SSDs and RAM for data centers are the Microns customers, like Nvidia. Even if they are in trouble and know that the datacenters are not being built, they can't cancel the deals because that would call the bubble into question. They will have to take any markup deal that Micron gives, them because if they don't there will be nothing for them nor Micron anyway.

  • absolutely loves the idea of everyone’s computer usage going thru giant corporations because the Chinese government owns part of every Chinese company and doesn’t need a backdoor since they have a set of keys.

    We are still taking about NAND chips. Can you backdoor those? I would think you need to backdoor the controllers or smth at least.

  • Supreme Court rules Rastafari man can’t sue Louisiana prison officials who cut his dreadlocks

  • I didn't say they were Christians. I meant that Rastafarians consider themselves an abrahamic faith, so they worship the god of Moses and Abraham.

  • It was RT USA, I assume that they still never felt that they had a freedom to bite the hand that fed them, but that was not why most of them were there, to focus on dunking on Russia. But not biting the hand that feeds you is the reality for every reporter that isn't totally independent.

  • The best propaganda is always the truth.

    When they shut down the RT America studio under the foreign agents law and direct TV intervention, they did interviews with the ex-RT dissident-esq reporters who were working there. I don't remember who, and who was interviewing, so take this with a grain of salt. When they were asked on the lines of how they felt working for Russian propaganda and information campaign. They said along the lines of that of all the networks they had worked on, they were never felt as free as when they worked on RT, and they were quite open that it was all part of bringing up narratives that would disrupt the American mainstream ones and create political disruption and doubt. Their handlers in Moscow knew that the best way to achieve this was just to give them reach and mostly uncensored platform and let them do mostly whatever they want, because they knew that just bringing out the truth was the most damaging thing to American establishment.

  • Email ownership, I give up.

  • I don't say it's impossible. It's just not worth it 90% of the people, especially for beginners.

  • Gaming is just going to become a hobby for the rich at this rate.

    Well in global terms, PC gaming pretty much has been that since forever.

    There is no way we can keep up with this.

    Reject the AAA slop and you'll be good. It's not like anything good comes from them anyway and all their "innovation" is just fancier graphics and physics without any real gameplay, content or story, mainly to justify the overpriced next gen Nvidia card.

    Centre Party youth group calls for state-run dating service

    Jump

  • Not such a bad idea actually. It's not like Tinder or any other such platform want anybody to find a partner, because that would make them lose a customer/product. They just want maximum engagement on their own app, so everybody else but them loses. While it's silly of course, but this is one of those things where public option would be good.

    Also I have no idea why npm is worse offender than most? Is it that the install scripts can you execute any code they want?

  • I still have only vague ideas what they even are and do and why they are special. Yeah, marketing, data brokering, spying, PR, social engineering, propaganda, but then how does that differ from Meta and Google.

  • Historically "retirement" was not a thing, you just moved to lighter tasks. People only really stopped working when they no longer physically and mentally could.

    The thing you say about rich old fossils and cold war relics running the west, is a problem though. Their age isn't per se the issue, them being out of touch pillars of the status quo and being generally oppressive is.

  • Vance says pope should ‘be careful’ when talking about theology

    Jump

  • It's really the audacity that gets you. Also he talked shit about Francis too. He converted in 2019 and has second guessed 100% of the popes after his supposed conversion. Also with issue that are not even controversial. 'War bad' isn't some radical catholic or even christian position.

  • Talking about banning porn is just outrage porn for those for and against it. The point is to drive home surveillance state and most importantly drive discussion away from things that actually matter and the people in power desperately want people not to talk about or take notice. Modern liberal politics is very much an art of pretending to do something when actually doing nothing and just acting as the guarddog of even decaying society that has been politically hermetically sealed for the benefit of the top 1% funder class.

  • Fox News analyst blames low birth rate on teens not having enough kids

    Jump

  • I don't know what's your point? By that metric human population got too high and over natural carrying capacity, when humans moved from hunter gathering to primitive agriculture.

    Humans are not reliant on nature's given carrying capacity since humanity has always created it's own environment and has adapted, engineered and invented itself out of multiple unsustainable ecological collapses through the advancements in the quality of means of production.

    And btw while I think it's shitty project to plan to increase teen pregnancies... Still, fuck anti-natalism and degrowth if that's your point.
