Finally some truth in advertising…

with a Goghunters Fire F12 1200W White power supply.

It’s Apple…

Not everyone with an iPhone is tech illiterate, but everyone who is tech illiterate has an iPhone

Those people might think that the only way for their data to get from one phone to another, is them typing a password onto the phone physically.

If they were offered this, they may realize that Apple could just clone their phone and everything on it.

Don’t forget how many social media savvy young celebrities had nudes leak a few years ago because they were iPhone users and iphones back everything up to the cloud by default. Most users most likely never realize that’s happening.

Buddy, really?

But because no one was buying 32gb machines and a machine without that sticker will end up with Linux…

They just dropped it,

Did you not understand it or just assume none of the later text kept explaining it so you immediately stopped ready?

It’s not just you, I see this shit all over these days, what the fuck are you people doing?

The money is micro transactions and the whales have $7k gpus…

Everyone else is just fodder so the pay to win accounts have someone to feel better than.

COD a while ago got caught out for juicing the matchmaking odds right after you buy a new skin. Didn’t matter what you bought or how much. A purchase made your next couple lobbies be filled with scrubs on one side, and you and some above averages on the other.

After X amounts of games it wore off, and since those games pushed you up in the normal metrics, you’re now in lobbies above your skill level. So even if you get a “fair” game, you’re going to do badly, until you buy a skin again or lose to your actual skill level.

That’s why everyone started complaining about COD matchmaking, even if you bought nothing, everyone was on the same micro transaction maximizing rollercoaster.

A cynic would say that’s why it went free on Xbox, they need a population of players to make the whale milking work. Even if those people only fire it up a few hours a month and never buy anything, getting matched with someone above your skill level who just bought a stupid skin makes you the product they sell to the whales.

programmers will start being more frugal with their memory usage.

They 100% will.

Windows had started only “certifying” machines with 32gb as “windows ready” because they wanted the headroom to cram on AI features and use what we pay for instead of a data center.

But because no one was buying 32gb machines and a machine without that sticker will end up with Linux…

They just dropped it, and now they’ll have to keep optimizing for 16gb instead of just letting everything bloat. If they don’t, they risk every entry level machine making people eventually switch to Linux for a much better experience. Windows has to run on entry level or people don’t get sucked in, no one converts to windows later in life.

That’s a huge deal, if 32gb was the default for windows it would be the default for everything. Every game and design/modeling program would feel safe to assume 32gb was the norm. Like, imagine what chrome would do assuming there’s 32gb to play with.

Now they can’t, and they’ll know requiring 32gb will cut off some possible consumers.

It’s not like Windows is the good guys tho, it never should have been 32, and arguably should be 8gb forever, even if it required a lightweight mode. Most people would prefer a super stripped down Windows even with 64gb. Most of the bloat is useless, I could live without any updates after we didn’t have to quit to DOS to launch a game.

None of the chips built for datacentres are useful for gaming. None of the RAM in these chips is useful for normal computing - even servers - much less home gaming.

…

Yes, literally everyone knows that…

If you ask why the production of two different form factors that use the same infrastructure could effect the quantities produced, I can probably explain that for you.

But it’s like being surprised you have to wait in line at checkout despite being the only person in Costco buying a single can of grape soda, so hopefully you can figure it out from here.

Next time you feel like you’re missing something though, it’s easier to just ask first rather than hoping someone else takes all this time instead of just ignoring you and not explaining what you’re missing

…

They didn’t need 32 GB to run windows…

They never needed 32 GB to run windows, they never would.

Windows said every laptop needs what a gaming pc needs, because Windows wanted us to have that ram to use AI features that are coming.

Like…

They didn’t have to optimize because they never needed it to begin with

Taiwan has had decades to perfect the resource allocation, supply chains, knowledge, and work culture to make those damn things.

…

Uh, Apple taught them from scratch in less than 20 years.

Now they have a proven plan on how to do it, what to look out for.

Like, the on part Apple didn’t understand is that China was ok with Apple employees being treated as disposable, because they’d burn out, quit, (maybe) recover, and by then alreybe replaced.

Now an Apple trained employee needs a job and Apple won’t hire them back. Repeat that tens of thousands of times and before Apple releazied all they were doing was training their competition, it was too late.

It wouldn’t be “years of failure and low output”. It would be years of nothing to build the infrastructure and then flip a switch.

As a bonus this makes chips for weapons in parallel, something we desperately need to do.

This ain’t just a crackpot idea, and it’s not just mine.

It’s just any country that does it, risks kissing off the only manufacturer till up and running. It’s fucking with trillions of dollars. We need an arms race scenario with multiple countries trying to be first.

and they’ll just age out of usefulness.

Nah, we’ll stall on this generation. Even if a new one is released, very few will pay the extra when games would alreadyhave to start becoming RAM optimized again. Even Windows just dropped their 32GB recommendation.

Without the recommendation being met, people weren’t buying windows PCs, so lower the requirement and people will buy more computers and more copies of windows. Which means they always could have just optimized better if they felt pressure.

Games will 100% do the same.

Which could be a huge thing for rational companies right now.

The big hurdle to domestic production is you’ll spend billions and by the time it’s built it’s “last gen”.

Instead of useless data centers, we could be building up domestic chip production, confident it will still produce top of the line chips when it goes live.

A literal golden opportunity, more so if China goes after Taiwan finally, you’d be the only international supplier.

As far as I know, no country is doing it tho.

People really need to learn “the cloud” just means “a hard drive someone else owns”…

It’s always weird when people start pushing cloud based apps for privacy/security. Because at the end of the day, you’re handing all your data to some dude you don’t know, along with almost certainly identifiable information.

The reason they can’t control AI is the same reason they can’t monetize it:

The people “building” it, don’t understand what they’re built, what AI is, or what the end goal is.

They can’t stop it from doing anything, they can’t make it do anything.

They just spam suggestions at it till it spits out what they consider acceptable. Then they give it a figurative cookie and tell it to do that. In the hopes that some day with enough cookies they can make a black box that takes questions as an input and spits out useful answers.

It really shouldn’t even count as programming, it has more in common with weird religious practices.

So…

First you said it was made up…

I provided proof…

So now it’s not made up, it’s just totally cool that it happens.

You don’t see any issue at all with lack of logical consistency?

Just because that admin hid how to check on their instance, doesn’t mean they can hide it on every instance…

https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&modId=855573

That’s your main admin, constantly doing mod level moderation all over the place.

Anything they don’t like, anywhere on their instance, they censor.

Wow that went dark quickly

Wait till you hear about the “people’s” revolution under Mao…

Then Person 1 should block those accounts for being idiots, like I most likely did years ago…

I’ve rarely ever seen anyone grumble about .world in a completely unrelated thread without cause

That’s easy, its all over this thread, if you don’t recognize it here, you’re not recognizing it elsewhere.

Like a colorblind person insisting the color red isnt real…

It’s not just one account/instance.

If I was going to imply one tho, it would have been the person who bans everyone else from their instance for “impersonation” if anyone signs up to it.

It’s literally a one person instance, but that lets them into admin channels and gives them an equal seat at the table.

That’s the really obvious one, but I’m not going to name them either.

If you block an instance it’s users can still see your posts elsewhere and comment can’t they?

Yes, I literally said that earlier in the comment you replied to…

blocking an instance doesn’t stop you from interacting with the users.

And…

they can run their personal instance as they see fit. Isn’t that the whole point of federation?

Yes, that’s why I don’t make posts that they need to change, I just chimed in and provided context for why blocking their instance so you don’t accidentally stumble into their places…

Citation lemmy.ml admins do this please?

Their instance modlog…

Also isn’t this technically possible with every single instance of Lemmy?

It’s technically possible everyone ran an Epstein level child trafficking ring…

It would be insane to investigate everyone equally instead of just the people we know are doing it…

That should be obvious buddy

Stop acting like being on that list was exclusive to any demographic.

I’m on that and I’ve been called every political label under the sun as an insult on here.

I think Lemmy is radicalizing.

Ever since the reddit migration, troll instances who already existed on the fediverse saw a shiny new plaything.

When their home instances became defederated, their users spun up new ones, and were welcomed with open arms under the assumption they were new.

That bought them access to admin channels, were they could socially manipulate legitimate admins of major instances.

People who know controlled relatively large social media platforms…

People who didn’t receive any training and may not have had the best social skills to begin with.

So, what I’m trying to say is, it’s not all that they’re radicalized in the sense that their views changed organically. They’re radicalized like people taken advantage of by FBI informants into “planning” an attack.

The people telling them to do this stupid shit don’t think it’s a good idea, they just want to burn it down to watch it burn.
