  • Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry

    Jump

  • It has a mobile SOC which thermally throttles pretty aggressively, memory capped at 8gb, and a pair of confusing USB-C ports one of which is limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

  • Crackheads versus Palantir Spybox

    Jump

  • I'm my experience you still see crackheads with the cameras.

  • California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup

    Jump

  • Since people aren't reading the article and the headline is misleading. The law requires:

    • The OS ask the user their date of birth on account creation (kinda like the Steam date of birth prompts)
    • The OS provide an API that returns which of four age brackets the user fits in
    • Companies notified by the OS that the user is under age may be liable

    It was explicitly written by the authors not to mandate ID or facial recognition checks. You can lie about your date of birth. This basically creates a standard set of parental controls for parents configuring kids devices.

    I think that this might actually help with the whole discord facial recognition issue in places other than the UK by allowing them to offload the issue to parents setting up devices rather than collecting kids biometrics.

  • The headline is misleading. They are only required to ask how old you are and are not required to verify you aren't lying

  • MSI's $80 AMD motherboards with DDR4 support swoop in to rescue gamers amid the global RAM crisis

    Jump

  • I doubt it. Those AI computers are built in a really weird way and have a lot of hardware that isn't really useful outside an AI/HPC context. Some stuff like the weird card to card network topology can be reconfigured but the rest of it can't easily be. The servers are rather agressively designed around keeping as many GPUs fed as possible making them kinda weird for other jobs. Those datacenter cards are missing enough video hardware (for example texture units) to make gaming hard and I'm not sure there's that much consumer demand for linear algebra accelerators. If they can't find more HPC jobs they may go under. Movie studios could have interesting opportunities here but they are still primarily using CPUs in all their software IIRC.

    The clusters in the UAE and Saudi Arabia might be repurposable for nuclear weapons research which isn't great.

  • The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about

    Jump

  • Sadly a lot of this is chiplet interposer mounted HBM and not UDIMMs. The HBM cannot be removed from the products it's installed from so unless you want an H100 it won't be of much use. The remainder is mainly server RDIMMs and LRDIMMs. UDIMMs for desktops are in short supply because they cut manufacturing to make other things.

  • House committee advances bill to ban chemtrails

    Jump

  • Alabama not the US house. That headline needs a lot of context

  • Meta patented an AI that lets you keep posting after you die

    Jump

  • I could swear I saw some company doing this in a tech publication like 5-10 years ago

  • 64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months

    Jump

  • I did as well which is a polite way of saying I blew all my RAM savings on the how overpriced GPUs were at the time

  • That's why I also mentioned archivable. Public forums can be archived. If I hit one of those issues I look for archived pages. Deleted discord comments are just silently gone and deleted servers are lost forever

    Jump

  • Because not everything is a bug. People frequently want help and having a searchable place for past discussions it is helpful. Also this was in response to people complaining about forums and implying what came after is better so misuse is very much relevant here. Every modding community and a lot of other dev groups use discord for everything and it is from experience a trainwreck.

  • Most decent forums were publicly readable online and thus got indexed by actually decent search engines unlike discord. Hence "search indexable"

    I'm not sure why people think that discord search is some kind of gotcha. Its shit.

  • Zulip is literally the 5th thing in the article.

  • Discord is just objectively terrible for knowledge. It's not search indexable or archivable. It's more or less a memory hole.

  • Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization”

    Jump

  • Wonder if their CEO finally stopped responding to hacker news threads or if he's still in there getting dunked on.

  • This Tool Searches the Epstein Files For Your LinkedIn Contacts

  • John Stuart is in there for entirely nonsensical reasons

  • ‘It’s sick’: Trump administration uses mascot called ‘Coalie’ to push dirtiest fossil fuel

    Jump

  • John Oliver will probably abuse it in some way. Sadly he doesn't start until the 15th and something new and horrible will have replaced this.

  • Newsom files a civil rights complaint against Dr. Oz in latest feud with the Trump administration

    Jump

  • The fraud in Minnesota was orchestrated by a white woman but they need to pin it on Somalis.

    What's happened here is what needs to happen. Someone needed to come out and make sure that there were consequences for the accusations rather than just rolling over and letting Trump/Oz have their narrative.

  • France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials

  • Jitsi is owned by a Campbell, California based firm called 8x8. Source: I worked for them during the acquisition.

    Though admittedly avoiding US origin open source is unlikely to be possible. The thing they are using seems to be based on another package with a similar issue.
