    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    I meant the 4770, not 5770. My bad.

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    For its time, the Radeon 5770. It was a crazy performance boost for the price.

    Majority of CEOs Report Zero Payoff From AI Splurge

    The consciousness of AI will always be a philosophical debate, no matter how far it advances. Some argue that one cannot even be sure that our fellow humans are conscious, going so far as to say you may even be a Boltzmann brain.

    Majority of CEOs Report Zero Payoff From AI Splurge

    Oh no, whatever will the "prompt engineers" do? When I first saw people describe themselves using that title, all I could do was muster a pitying laugh.

    Nvidia, AMD, will significantly increase GPU value from next month

    This is now basically doomerforum.com. Not without reason, because I don't remember the PC building space ever being so bleak, not even in the pandemic era.

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    If a person or group decided to reproduce the ending of the movie "Fight Club", but targeting AI data centers instead of consumer credit buildings, I'd cheer them on.

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    AI's biggest accomplishment for me personally is this: it made me realize what a huge cynic I've become. Or perhaps it turned me into one, crushing my previously optimistic disposition.

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    And this is a welcome change from back when I built my first PC in 2001. Once upon a time, a new build only felt new for a few months, if not mere weeks, before it was outdated; and I mean outdated in a way you could really feel performance-wise. That was a fun and exciting time if you could...

    Scientists Announce a Physical Warp Drive Is Now Possible. Seriously. (Popular Mechanics)

    There is a big difference between theoretically and realistically possible, no matter how far our technology may advance. I've been reading theories about this drive since I picked up the "Physics of Star Trek" book back in the 1990s. I think the whole thing will remain something for theoretical...

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    My last system build, I installed 128 gig of ram because its main use was going to be as a music production workstation. That actually felt excessive at the time, but I figured I may as well. Welp, that turned out to be a wise choice, and it looks like I'll be using this build longer than I'd...

    V-Color announces Xfinity DDR5 memory with built-in OLED display, up to 9000MT/s on Intel and AMD platforms

    Why? This is one of those things my 17 year-old self MIGHT have found kind of cool, but even then I doubt it. My brain was never quite that easily tickled, though it was fun seeing what kind of crazy ideas companies would come up with.

    Games Nexus - Do Not Buy NZXT | Predatory, Evil Rental Computer Scam Investigated

    There are too many truly bad things going on in the world for me to find any entertainment value in Steve's goofy dramatics. I'm sure I'd be singing a different tune if I was personally affected by NZXT’s business practices, but I'm not, so I ain't.

    AI Isn’t Making Much Money

    What AI is going to do above all is make the Dunning-Kruger effect more widespread. People were already thinking they were smarter just because they can look up something on the internet.
