    Dominik W reacted to manikyath in Apple Opens up parts swapping between devices   
    let me translate that for you:
     
    apple has stopped binding components to devices by serial number, using some false pretense about calibration profiles to avoid facing regulatory backlash for actively blocking any sort of repairability of their devices.
     
    you cannot get legitimate parts to repair apple devices without agreeing to horrendous agreements designed to put repair shops out of business.
     
    on top of that, the stolen phones argument is complete BS here. no one is stealing phones to harvest their battery and display.

    Dominik W reacted to starsmine in Are you getting Deja vu? 14900KS releases and breaks the clock speed record at 9.1GHz   
    I can never hate on the ks versions of chips. I think they are just dumb fun. Negative opinions on it always seem to just miss the point hard. its not there to try to beat ryzen, its just there to see how hard you can push it. Competition literally does not mater here. I dont even understand the "dont recommend" statements like that needs to be explicitly said. no one asking the question of what PC to buy is even looking at that budget, the same way you dont recommend a porshe 918. 

    like a Dodge Demon hellcat, stupid fun, completely unusable.

    I never thought the iPhone would be accused of being a monopoly, but thinking about it quickly as I write this, I can see why. The ecosystem (iMessage) has taken over market share among youngsters (me), and Apple essentially has customers for life. I am curious to see how this plays out.

    Dominik W reacted to TetraSky in GTA 6 production falling behind, possibility of delay   
    Good. Delay it.
    Unrealistic time frames set by pencil pushers higher ups who then force devs to do crunchtime should disappear. It will be ready when it's ready to be released.

    I think the idea is that with their monopoly in software (which a Congressional report accused Apple of maintaining), they wall consumers into their garden, essentially monopolizing the smartphone market.

    Dominik W reacted to joshfrog in Mac Address is Awesome   
    Off the bet i will say i hate crapple so a youtube channel just on crapple would never be something that was for me.
     
    I will say anyone working on a youtube channel and is able to make it work, good on ya that isn't easy.
     
    That said i think youtube channels who focus only on crapple are part of the cult if they want to admit it or not.
    I have no issue with a clean and minimal production but i just really dont like the style or look of mac address that's why its the only LTT channel i dont sub to or watch. crapple only channels try to appeal to crapple fanboys and when they do that will never have any content worth watching IMO at that point your no better then crapples press release.
     
    Before anyone calls me a windows or PC fan i bloody hate microsoft, Im a fan of PC's yes but for what they let you do with them unlike crapple where its what crapple lets you do with em and only if the dev scratched crapples back.

    Dominik W reacted to da na in Sam Altman seeking 5-7 TRILLION in backing for Open AI CPU Creation   
    Looking past the absolutely ludicrous amount (which is about 10x the wealth of the 10 wealthiest countries combined), why do we need an OpenAI CPU?

    Dominik W reacted to Skipple in Sam Altman seeking 5-7 TRILLION in backing for Open AI CPU Creation   
    I... what? This has to be a mistake. $7 trillion is more money than the entire US Federal operating budget. It's a quarter of the US GDP. The concept doesn't make sense sense. Like, $7 trillion on a future evaluation I can maybe see, but what could possibly be the scope of a project could that costs $7 trillion?

    i think this man has been around big numbers he forgot their meaning..
     
    SpaceX quoted their first generation of falcon 9 rockets to have cost 300 million to develop
    NASA quoted that if they had developed such a platform using their own strategies, it would have been in the 3.6 billion category
    SpaceX estimates that starship will cost between 5-10 billion to develop
    nvidia spends 7.34 billion on R&D each year
     
    so.. what this man is suggesting, is that his endavour will cost the same as:
    - nvidia funding their R&D for the coming 950 years
    - spacex developing starship, estimating they double their original budget at 20billion
    - NASA copying SpaceX's homework and making a falcon bureaucracy edition.
    - still have enough money left over for spaceX to throw away and re-invent falcon 9 not once, not twice, but 11 times.
     
    please.. someone quote me to tell me that the order of magnitude got lost in translation somewhere...
