Considering that viewers are directly (ok, maybe not so directly) paying them for the content on stuff like Odysee, I'd say, the additional 5 minutes required to log into it and copy-paste the title and description and click on the submit button isn't really much and neither is the ~1 hour they would require to keep the tab open in the background (while doing other stuff themselves) for the upload to finish.

Might just be that they uploaded a few times and say their YouTube views plummeting, because only those people went there and not many new people came in, which made them reconsider.

it seems you understand UI/UX design principles very well

Just one of those things that you just get, but haven't studied, so may not have the required words for.
I mostly think in terms of usability, convenience and utility from my experience in using GUI software and websites, with no manifest-able artistic inclination.

https://neocities.org/

Looks kinda nice.
There are still quite a few interesting websites I have seen even without it. They are just rare and require someone to put some amount of obsession into it. So either way, I won't expect normal companies to end up with art, even if the tech part of it has been made easier.
I mean, I could develop a site like that without neocities, but I won't be designing one as such. And my site can already take care of a wide variety of page sizes.

Yeah, kinda weir on that one.
It is surprising how people can be unreasonable when they are given the ability to.

Though I can think of conspiracy theories for this behaviour.
Guess I should go to jokeconspiracy@lemmy.ca considering how many of these come to my mind.

Well, the server ECC variant is still pretty useful for desktop workloads. Just make sure AMD always supports it in the next generations. If it's still a DIMM, then it can be sold right away.

GDDR7, again, if the chip has the required pins as in GPUs, then GPU manufacturers can simply buy them, test them for a few hours maybe, and pop them in their lineups with a bit of re-calculation of traces (in case the exact pinout differs). Of course you get some re-soldering damage, but there's not much you can do about it. On the other hand, if the GDDR7 is in GPUs already, most the companies would require is to alter the firmwares a bit and sell refurbished units.

HBM2. Seems like it is possible to get slottable modules with HBM2. Pretty sure some industrious people in China will find a good use for them. Perhaps with RISC V processors?
And the AI specialised units shouldn't be fully useless either. Remember the cancer studies case?
It is still useful computing ability that can be used well by those who know how.

About the word, "safe" and how it is contextual.

That looks nice.

I feel like a designer needs to first articulate the intent of the colour usage, before deciding on it.
Because in some places, you want a higher contrast, while in others, you just want a separate colour, without stuff popping out too much. Then there is also the case of less contrasting colours popping out more, because they were used in a larger area than they were chosen for and same the other way round, when you choose a lower contrasting colour combination due to the both colour areas being large enough, like window background vs document background, but then if you end up using the combination for something like text, it becomes hard to read.

So for instance, using the "Tower of Glass" example, one can use the last 2 colour for things like:

  • window background vs button/field background
  • button normal vs button hover
  • background vs alt background (though in this case, I would be looking for even lower contrasting colours

... but not for cases like:

  • background vs text
  • background vs border

While you could still also use it for text vs alt-text.

Maybe they just realised in time about the upcoming RAM price hike and setup both to each other, so that either one becomes an excuse for the other.

Are they using the same ICs in the AI modules as they are in DIMMs?

If yes, then we can still hope for some level of a 2nd hand market, which may at least manage to be lower than the max at that point.

Nah, it seems to still fail to recognise that there is no ~~spoon~~ question.

Maybe someone ate it and got food poisoning?

Maybe just that only the few videos with that as a main, got enough internet points to reach EfreetSK, hence that's all they know about.

Depends upon what you want to be safe from.

If you want to be safe from having a flash mob come and beat you up, I'd say, this assumption doesn't really compromise your safety.
If you want to be safe from having the wrong assumption, well, you are deep in unsafe territory.
