No, it's about money. It's always about money.

PLME888 reacted to StDragon in Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older CPUs
Microsoft is actively rewriting portions of the OS code with Rust for security reasons. As i understand it, POPCNT allows for efficient code to be compiled. So, it stands to reason why MS would raise the baseline by making this a hard requirement. It's about time frankly.

That's nice, and not at all what this article is about.

PLME888 reacted to Needfuldoer in In a rut? Reduce VRAM! RTX 3050 6GB launching with a rumoured MSRP of $180 with 96 bit bus
Why?
Why not just cut it down to 4 GB across two memory chips and release it as a $120 "RTX 3030" so we can finally put the GT 1030 out to pasture? At that price I'd get it just as a transcoding card for my Plex server.

Encryption doesn't matter when you hand the keys to the authorities.

PLME888 reacted to Senzelian in Google warned to update WinRAR due to security vulnerabilities, citing potential exploit from government-backed hackers
I hope WinRAR's servers can handle their entire customer base of 4 people downloading the new version.

PLME888 reacted to StDragon in Microsoft might want to be making Windows 12 a subscription OS
I seriously doubt this would be for the consumer market. Almost certainly to be rolled into the Microsoft 365 Enterprise subscription as a Windows Enterprise license paid annually.

Don't see any mention of capacity, probably for a reason.

PLME888 reacted to ImWilly in Apple pricing?!
Well, the fact is that the US pricing is almost always exempt tax
So, when you place an order on Apple US website, they will add tax on the checkout
I once asked my friend in the US to buy iPhone as well years ago, and I decide not to do so because of the additional tax pricing, which makes it not so far difference to the price on my local country
As far as I know, Europe market is always place price as is (no hidden fee crap or whatsoever)
Please correct me if I'm wrong

PLME888 reacted to Donut417 in More than 4 years of Android updates for the Google Pixel 8!
This is a big reason why I went to Apple. I got sick of my phone being out of date only after a two or so years.

PLME888 reacted to Needfuldoer in Nvidia Anounces Half-Life 2 RTX (an rtx remix project by the community)
For everybody else who reflexively clicked the YouTube play button in that screenshot:
It's amazing how much of a difference modern lighting and textures make to aging games. I saw an RTX remix of a Need for Speed: Underground title, and it looked almost new. Black Mesa RTX when?

I would assume a week after it was announced.

PLME888 reacted to illuanonx in LMG censor Reddit
There has to be a relation and influence between /r/LinusTechTips and LMG. The censorship benefits LMG at this moment. I understand its damage control, but IMO does it hurt more, than what they gain of it. It fall in line with the bad behavior of LMG so far.

PLME888 reacted to illuanonx in LMG censor Reddit
As a new user on Reddit, I am not allowed to write in /r/LinusTechTips. I need 50 karma points, to write - otherwise it will be deleted. So basically I can not write on the sub and earn points.
Why do LTT censor me and is this really the road LMG want to take?

PLME888 reacted to Electricity Taster in Should any EMPLOYEE hired for tasks unrelated to modelling model company underwear?
That is not OK and I am offended by what you've just said about me. It's a complete mischaracterization based on your inability to comprehend my argument. As I've said many times, I have no problem with women modelling underwear, so long as they are employed specifically for that job. Otherwise, asymmetrical power structures undermine consent. If you disagree, fine. You don't have to participate in this discussion and you are free to leave.

PLME888 reacted to Mertrodome in Should any EMPLOYEE hired for tasks unrelated to modelling model company underwear?
Sure, could there hypothetically be some weird power dynamics or peer pressure making people feel like they are expected to model, or will be thought poorly of by refusing. Of course those things do happen in the world.
However, absent any reason at all to believe this is true at LTT, I don't really see what the value is in this thread. As far as I'm aware nobody has ever even hinted at pressure to feature on the store, and there are plenty of employees who don't, leading me to assume it's very much an opt-in situation.
Hypothetically sure, bad stuff happens in workplaces. But hypothetically they have a rule where everyone has to bring in a selection of cheeses on the first Thursday of every quarter.
There is literally no substance in this conversation other than "if this thing is bad, does that mean it's bad?"
-
PLME888 reacted to Electricity Taster in Should any EMPLOYEE hired for tasks unrelated to modelling model company underwear?
No. My argument is that there is no way to know for sure and the asymmetric power structures undermines consent. That should make you doubt the validity of the consent given and that should be enough for you to hire models specifically to model your merch.

Dude has built up quite a fantasy in his own head about what is going on there.

PLME888 reacted to RadeonChan in Should any EMPLOYEE hired for tasks unrelated to modelling model company underwear?
This is crazy man, implying that Women can't give consent under their own power due to the idea of a patriarchal power structure within the workplace undermines their own autonomy and ends up taking your argument in the complete opposite direction, and makes you look incredibly sexist. Implying that it's ours or anyone else's job to double check given consent is demeaning. Comparing a woman in the workplace under a completely normal "corporate power structure" to her being "too drunk to consent" is also wild.

Telling you to grow up is not out of line if you are acting like a child trying to get attention by making up an issue. You should apologize for your assumptions and baseless accusations.
