This is what I don’t get…everyone keeps saying it is going to be a bad 4 years but most likely this is it we are done. Trump is going to pardon himself for all the shit he did last time in office and now he doesn’t need to worry about breaking any laws since SCOTUS gave him immunity. This is going to be horrific. We are witnessing the death of America.

Touchscreens were never popular with customers. Manufacturers kept cramming touchscreens in cars and using them to control everything becuase they were being stupid with new tech.

Edit: I guess I should have been clearer. I was talking about as a replacement for tactile controlls in a car like the article is talking about. Reverse cameras and other things that are good to have a touch screen for make perfect sense but using your touch screen to control your Air conditioning in a way that you have to divert your attention from the road to operate sliders and buttons on a touch screen is dumb as hell.

This is some asshat complaining that he isnt a billionaire anymore and how he is now humble and hungry to make it back there since his net worth is now only a lowly 225 million and he had to sell his 55 million dollar home. He is not pennyless selling his possessions he just had to downgrade his living style from wasteful worthless billionaire to the low level of a few hundred millionaire.

Don’t worry everyone he started a direct sales rug company he thinks should get him back to 500 million. Fuck this article and that guy.

I would guess there is no way in hell they are going to stop making GPUs becuase GPU development leads directly to their ability to make better AI accelerators. I could see them backing off of CPU prodiction before cutting out GPUs.

What about BOB?

Every process name is basically a marketing a gimmick. You could sort of use the previous names as a ratio to get a general idea of uplift but that isn’t really accurate either. To further confuse things Intel’s naming scheme had bigger nm values but is a similar size to lower numbered names from TSMC.

It’s important to note that 1.6nm is just a marketing naming scheme and has nothing to do with the actual size of the transistors.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_nm_process

Look at the 3nm process and how the gate pitch is 48nm and the metal pitch is 24nm. The names of the processes stopped having to do with the size of the transistors over a decade ago. It is stupid.

It could also be a gross sex term for a dick. During sexy time someone could say to me “yeah give me that hot tube” and I would be immediately less interested in sex.

Yeah but you are talking about hot tubs and they are talking about hot tubes so maybe the rules are different like the tube is really hot but is a poor thermal conductor. Or they misspelled tub and they really like burning themselves… lots of options for interpretation here.

Soon after it changes to it’s final form:

“don’t be evil, but greed y and posessive is okay”

Uh in 2017 Humble Bundle Inc. got bought out by IGN Entertainment which is owned by Ziff Davis …so yeah it’s part of a big shitty corporation.

Right at the beginning I said they would add it all back and/or get a never ending chain of lawsuits thrown at them and right now it’s looking a bit like both.

Let’s be honest it’s pick one and another may or may not be randomly picked for you.

I figured out how to do it fairly quickly but it would be a hell of a lot easier if people could just type in “11700K” in a box on a web page or something and it could just tell them. Or they could have added a little bit of code to their CPU ID utility that says “yupp your processor is effected by the flaw”. I am mostly annoyed at all this not for me but for all the people who would read those pages and the contents would seem like an insane foreign language to them all while articles are telling them it’s a major security flaw that would allow people to steal their encryption keys.

Every article is a copy paste of the same bullshit talking about the vulnerability and pointing to the stupid cryptic list of processors that requires you to jump through hoops to read it. You can’t just search for your processor in a database I mean fuck that would take them at least an a couple hours of their precious time to set up and they have only had a year. How do you fix it? Why with a microcode update of course!!..from where you ask? Well don’t worry just look at the cryptic list it will tell you if you need a microcode update!!

Fuck every article about this shit. Anyone wanna bust an Eli5 on how to fix this problem for people? (I was assuming it’s a BIOS update but the articles have only confused me further)

Facebook’s copy of Twitter X

I am more worried about the next pandemic leaking from an unlicensed lab or the dangers of weird pathogens coming out of freshly melted permafrost… but then again either of those could also lead to an antibiotic resistant infection so… I guess yeah I am worried about that too.

No no you don’t understand. If it’s not a complex plot to destroy Twitter then Elon is actually trying and that means he is a narcissistic moron who is running Twitter into the ground. That couldn’t be true because Elon built rockets and invented the Tesla all by himself without any help from the shit ton of engineers with advanced degrees and skills that Elon doesn’t have that work at Elon’s companies. Elon just hired all those people so he would have and audience of people around that were smart enough to watch, understand and enjoy while Elon did all the work.

He is the next Steve Jobs. Go read the official autobiography of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson to understand how it’s more true now than ever. Spoiler: Steve Jobs was a crazy narcissistic piece of shit.
