Didn't OpenAI just sign a deal with Samsung and SK Hynix to consume 40% of the worlds DRAM wafer supply for the foreseeable future.

This is a natural consequence of sucking up all the oxygen.

Fucking AI bubble...

Not nice Lie Mice lie.

I normally don't bother with typos, but this one changes meaning significantly, for those not in the know it's a saying in biological / biomedical science about the relevance of animal testing results to humans, although I'm unfamiliar with the ferrets part, but it's cool.

FWIW I switched VPN egress to Singapore (I have two egress points up permanently and switch with foxyproxy) and was up again immediately.

A thing they already had and this doesn’t help with

Sorry to necro, but I guess that should have been

governments wanting plausibly deniable, legal implication free, actionable intelligence

as to the others, valid enough, though I doubt they'll be burning out chips (if you cool them properly and server farms do, they become outdated far before they die, even @ <4nm...). Ponzi, yup, sure is, in spades, but that's the finance game now.

Sorry, don't use Lutris, either Steam or straight to Bottles. But I'll guess yes, with the dongle it comes up as a normal XBox controller unless you jump through hoops to get extra buttons going.

I have an 8bitdo and like it as well, one thing to consider tho is Steam Controller 2 is "extremely close", might be worth holding out for that to drop atm, the original is pretty legendary and 2 seems based on steamdeck layout.

Says vegnews.com ...

I hate how politicized, religiousized and most especially corparatized nutrition science is, bloody shitshow (and yes I struggle through the minefield that is primary literature).

Zeroth, consider GrapheneOS on that Pixel.

First, Syncthing on the PC and Syncthing-Fork. Now you can sync (and anything else) your photo files from phone to PC and vice versa. Congrats, you have photo storage backup.

Second, either a vpn to your home network so you can backup on the road, or Immich (as elsewhere suggested) for your own google photos experience.

Third, whichever of second you didn't choose.

Fourth, get ye an offsite backup (search 3-2-1 backup). rclone is your friend, but encrypt first locally with Cryptomator, then you don't have to trust your storage provider.

And I agree with you, there's some unspeakable shit out there, much of it, IMO, not fit for child nor adult, but making everyone pony up ID or facial recognition data or whatever will remove none of that, nor make it less accessible to children. Given basic child psychology it will, in fact, make it more attractive, more's the pity, and time and again children have shown themselves highly effective at circumventing it.This is also AusGov, home of some of the worst IT implementations in the world, whose current plan is, as disclosed so far a month out, she'll be right mate, we got the same mob as the UK used and they reckon it's fine. Better moderation requirements on large social media sites, better blocklists with easy secure implementation explained well to parents, any other number of other things would be more effective and non invasive. But no, it's cheaper (possibly negative expense if there are kickbacks) to let facebook ask for ID or worse.
