    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    but "gamers" are special, they are special because they are a market that will always be there year after year, more importantly they are also a market to which there is competitors vying for your customers. Crypto mining is volatile and can disappear in an instant, and it's one where you...

    Elon Musk Sues Open AI and Sam Altman for Breach of Founding Contract

    Musk always kind of rubbed me the wrong way, I was never a "fan" of Musk, I felt too much like a new "House of Jobs" type of corporate worship was on the horizon, but for me my view of him took a drastic dive after the whole Thailand cave divers incident, where he in all his arrogant AF wisdom...

    Elon Musk Sues Open AI and Sam Altman for Breach of Founding Contract

    So what you're saying is some private entity, Musk, wanted to buy controlling stake in this company... but now he's upset that some private entity bought controlling stake in the company. I means it's almost like he's a hypocrite or something.

    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    So 3 dollars a day using 100 watts? Let's see 0.1kw x 24 hrs = 2.4 kWh, at my highest energy tier which is around 53 cents that's be electrical costs of nearly $1.30, so $1.70 profit, about $620/year if the numbers are true, hell that could pay for a new CPU right there.

    The Verge: Westworld showrunners are creating a Fallout show for Amazon

    My wife loved Wheel of Time, and I didn't mind Rings of Power, granted I'm not a LOTR lorenerd so I wasn't seeing inaccuracies, and I'll admit it was like Disney+ TVshows compared to Marvel movies (the good ones) but if people were expecting Peter Jackson quality then they probably were fooling...

    Microsoft exploring options to power its datcenters using nuclear energy

    It's like the bag fee we have in CA, 25 cents per bag that MUST be charged, it's the law, and where does that money go? Help clean up plastic waste in the waterways or maybe just in the general fund for the state treasury? Nah the business that sells you the bag gets to keep it

    The Verge: Westworld showrunners are creating a Fallout show for Amazon

    The only Fallout game I played was Fallout Tactics, which I've been told is the black sheep of the Fallout family but I actually like that type of game and had a lot of fun with it. That said show looks cool to me, so I won't have nerdifying glasses on to pick apart every bit of the show, I...

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    Not to get political, I always seem to get warnings, but where are we jailing someone for being homeless? Sure places are making it so you can set up a camp, but at most they throw your stuff away and/or give them a 1 way bus ticket to SF, LA, or any number of large cities so it isn't their...

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    100% sure the way it will work is that every one of those robots (I refuse to refer to them as "AI") will also come with a hefty service contract, because just like copy machines in an office that company loses money if the machines are not working and it's worth it for the company to pay for...

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    it's almost like everything that uses some level of automation is now being classified as "AI" A number of years back there was one called Creator Burger, it was a burger building robot which no one screamed "AI" at. Always meant to go there to try one for kicks and giggles then they...

    Windows 11 Pro - $29.97

    Well that's my question, you are paying for a legitimate key, its just sold in another region and that should in someway make it illegitimate because the makers say it is so?

    Windows 11 Pro - $29.97

    I mean if they actually do give you a new one it cant be that bad. I'm sure it's a philosophical argument here, but are grey market keys from other regions really that much different than buying stuff on Amazon where locally the price for the same goods may be quite a bit more for reasons such...

    Oh Samsung, you had one chance to redeem yourself......Tech cuts guy's TV to void warranty and Reddit removes video from the post.

    Oh yeah, no joke have a dash cam that's going to be the one thing that protects you from people trying to scam you in an accident (brake checking, backing into you then claiming you hit them, jumping on the hood of your car while you're not moving and saying you hit them, etc), and it could...

    Elon Musk Sues Open AI and Sam Altman for Breach of Founding Contract

    I'm saying there not a public street in the nation where Tesla cars can legally operate without a driver behind the wheel, the same can not be said companies like Waymo. I don't know if Teslas are good or not, but what I do know is they arent allowed to operate as such.

    Elon Musk Sues Open AI and Sam Altman for Breach of Founding Contract

    Interest you mentioned this, how long had FSD been "two years away" yet companies like Waymo and Cruise actually did it, mind you in city streets and not at high rates of speed, and they look way goofier with all the sensors and camera on the car, but it does seem like Tesla has no AI to...

    Apparently NAND prices are too low, so Samsung is cutting production by half.

    Hope you got the ssd that you wanted. I mean I get it, there are no rules that state they have to make so much it keep prices low.

    [DEAD because not hot...Oops] Thermalright Assassin Cooler $18

    I went with the AssassinX which at the time was about this price, came with technopuke color and had same heat pipe number as similar priced ones and wasnt planning on overclocking my 7700x, and it's been perfectly fine for me. The two fan two tower design while it could cool better and be...

    Apple to make the App Store less intuitive with more prompts to level the playing field, accidently rolls it out ahead of ruling.

    See you're letting your feelings of what you want push into this. I was simply saying that governments should be able to pass rules for how companies do business in their territories, whether they are what I feel are good or bad. Now it does get sketchy with the whole internet and what not but...

    Navi 22 GPU below MSRP in China upsets AMD

    I f*cling hate Ecotech and everything about their business... but they hardly are the only ones in the hobby that does that, virtual every major company of aquarium products does it. And it is the same as MAP, the difference is that area is absolutely tiny, with a LOT of brands owned under...

    Navi 22 GPU below MSRP in China upsets AMD

    Was going to make this same comment, I've seen it in numerous hobbies I've been in too, model trains, aquariums, toys, hell electronics is rife with it. Now sometimes there is a time limit on it e.g. after 2 months of release they can drop prices, but either way it's very anticonsumer...

    Walmart buying Vizio - $2.3B

    Roku tvs also tend to be some of the cheapest brands which is what their desired customer base. Saw a 55" Roku TV... probably Hisense? For like 280 at costco, hard to beat that price. if you wanted to stay in that budget for an LG or Samsung you have to drop to 43", and it'll be the budget...

    Samsung - 77” Class S89C OLED 4K $1799.99 @ Best Buy

    Unless they have financial incentive to not do. I used to love SteamLink on my Q70, it was great for streaming emulator games to the big TV to play. Then one day the app stopped loading, and go to find out Samsung cut support to it, but not just support they made sure it never worked anymore...

    Walmart buying Vizio - $2.3B

    Yup, exactly this lobbyists with backers who have way deeper pockets than most every voter will make sure something like this doesnt even see the light of day. I mean why do so many states allow workers to only be paid like 1/4 the federal minimum wage if they receive tips? Lobbyists

    Samsung - 77” Class S89C OLED 4K $1799.99 @ Best Buy

    Ngl, I hate that idea because the ala carte features could go sideways real quick, but I like the idea because it seems as an easy fix to add in extra features.... that said not sure I'd even be possible, but even if it was Samsung wants to sell NEW tvs not sell upgrades so no way they would do it.

    Walmart buying Vizio - $2.3B

    Out of curiosity is there any platform that doesnt do that in some way? Whether ads, or uninstallable apps because Netflix pays Roku to have a button on the remote or something? And Vizio is just that low tier brand you could get at Walmart or Target, or if you wanted a much bigger TV for...

    Samsung - 77” Class S89C OLED 4K $1799.99 @ Best Buy

    Yeah it is a shame. I like Samsung for the sets that I get which is the midrange sets. I feel they are a good value in price for the features/cleanliness that you get, not as cheap as a Hisense or TCL set but then not as expensive as a Sony. That said if I was going high end set I probably...

    Windows 11 24H2 to enforce HW requirement

    Eh I'm not so sure of that, from what I gather you shouldnt even have been able to install it and get told as such that your hardware isn't up to snuff. In order to have the OS installed you would have had to bypass the checks in someway, i.e. you know the hardware isn't compatible, and to...

    Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th

    False. Cable TV was never intended to be ad free, premium channels like HBO and so forth did tote ad-free movies as a selling points yes (with "ads" for movies they also offered in the time between the movies) but the vast majority of other channels were never ad free. The thing is cable...
