  1. Right, because you couldn't possibly have any bias whatsoever considering your work with NASA...
  2. more competition = more good. even if it is only in the extremely highest end data-centre hardware
  3. They kind of "own" them by proxy already. Chatgpt runs off azure. Tay2.0 let's fucking goooooooo
  4. Well look at it on the other side; You don't tell them, but assumably you still need the surgery, are you going to take unannounced days off? You may want to look into employment laws in your area as protections can be vastly different depending where you live and the type of employment
  5. you are far braver than i. i would never mount my PC to the wall like that
  6. Happy international men's day!

     

    In today's culture you don'treally get the acknowledgement you deserve. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for simply being a man

      hang on...you think it's being "pushy" and having "unexamined core beliefs" to feel that due process is something everyone has a right to regardless of gender?

       

      please elaborate.

      I think that responding to this:

      With an unsolicited soapbox moment about f******* rape of all things, is being pushy about unexamined core beliefs. Yes.

      All I said was that you were lucky if you get more acknowledgment than you deserve, because some of us get attacked for merely trying to be fair.   I think you might have read into my response as being more than it was.

      That is not all you said, but I'll take you at your word that this is all you meant. This is valid, and I do feel lucky. But something I'm coming to understand better lately is that the acknowledgement I get, however much I feel I do not deserve it, is not luck at all. It is earned.

  7. i unironically wish there was a phone with the old xperia design but with newer hardware and still supported:
  8. i would have a light chuckle if all of the jobs he wants has been replaced by AI.
  9. You will find it is very hard to copyright a "style". Given the overwhelming support of second wind, it would be an actual self inflicted death sentence on the escapist if they tried to claim it. you can create a painting in the style of van gogh, but as long as you don’t try to pass it off as a Van Gogh piece and only an “inspired by” you’re generally pretty safe
  10. Main question: what is the purpose for this other display? There are displaylink adapters that will "work" but generally recommend against it as they do have issues with latency and can be jittery and put extra stress on your CPU.
  11. .....people still use screens savers? I don't think you need to worry about email being outdated, you are well ahead of them in that
  12. Firstly; waaaaaay to expensive. Second; their wording is highly suspect "Your information will not be used for advertising purposes" Doesn't read to me like they are going to stop collecting everything about you.... So it's a very expensive adblock for one website/app. You're not paying for privacy.
  13. The one thing this forum has taught me, is that if you don’t make the best of the best of the best, then you may as well not even try and just not release anything.
  14. If I was nvidia, I wouldn't either. Gamers are entitled brats who will never be happy unless they can get a xx90 gpu for $200 and even then still find something to whine about.
  15. Pihole doesnt work on youtube And recently discovered it doesn't block ads in most Android apps now since they seem to have started serving ads through the Google.com url
  16. alright you degenerates. it's wall of shame part 3 time....finally

      Any time I see these I'm reminded that I'm not messy just a little lazy. 😂

       

      It's truly amazing that these people are so used to their filth that they share these images without any shame.

       

      Also, a nice detail about #2 that the guy in the reflection seem to wear a fedora.

      Lemme get this straight, someone actually thought it was a good idea to put a BD (no I will not spell out the full form) sticker on their pc!?

      interesting

      I mean, some people have SHELVES full of BD products and are proudly posting it online so a single sticker is pretty tame. 😆

  17. People love "battlestation" pictures. Some love their battlestations....others; apparently not to much. I'm collecting and showcasing set ups that people clearly put no effort into presentation. I've tried to not grab ones that were posted satirically. It's like a discount 'we roast your worse setups' series that LTT did. If your set up appears on this list....that's your fault, take it as a hint to clean it up! Some pictures came from this forum, others came from various other sources including reddit, twitter and discord Part1: Part2: ----- i didn't know hostages were allowed to have gaming PCs OP claims they were being too loud and their roommates told them to move their PC out of their room, or shut up. but surely that wasn't the chair they were using.... ---- Fancy new steamdeck with the most generic, grotty looking HP keyboard to ever exist. ----- Cracked wall: check least ergonomic chair possible: check household plumbing pipes in each reach: why? i don't know if that's a an actual safe or just a filing cabinet, but i thought it was a water heater at first. poor PC with it's RGB is really trying to carry this setup ----- AsmonGold, is that you? how do people live like this? that's a lot of cigarettes, this room probably smells like a forest fire. ------- most sane arch user ------ I'm desperately trying to figure out what this set up is used for 2 keyboards...on the floor a plate of what looks like uncooked beef mince essential oils not 1, but 2 Himalayan salt grinders camping chair documents just everywhere the tiniest radiator heater i have ever seen the square monitor step 2, the rest of the fucking picture ----- I can forgive the non-cleanliness of the floor given this is clearly a garage/shed. what i cannot forgive is the neck problems Puggle ---- Cans and cans....the sticker on the PC.... at least the girl isn't in a jar ----- Would not buy anything that came out of this room. guy would have to pay ME to rescue his supposed xbox from wherever it is currently buried. ------ cables everywhere, laundry everywhere else sure hope your streamer background is more presentable ------ Infinite clutter...the things miku must have seen has 2 3d printers but this is the most disorganized room i've seen that isn't just outright trash --------- sigh...the bucket...the dust...the floor. OP claims this is a sleeper PC ---------- good cat. but that's roughly it. that is some dirty ass carpet and you could have closed the wardrobe before posting. you are also 1 awkward foot twitch away from nuking your entire system --------- Desktop looks good...what did you do to your WALL???? your molding is molding -------- i know it's probably hard with the shear quantity of "stuff" in here, but just a quick vacuum would make this not look so horderish ------- This floor on the other hand looks like it's actually make of wood shaving and that's the nicest thing i can say about it. just...so many things wrong with this image ----------- Uneaten food, unvacuumed floor, full bin...bowling pin and just negative legroom. -------- stained desk, damaged wall...that..wallpaper? toes on the desk (probably why it's stained) and just a thousand pairs of 3d glasses ------ the keys on that keyboard are meant to be black..just like that mouse pad. "yes, this is how i want to show my setup to strangers on the internet" ------ call back to episode 1...there is just sooooooooo many people who desperately, 100%, absolutely HAVE to make sure people know they have a gun ------ that is a big wang desk....but..that carpet. i know what colour it's supposed to be, but that isn't it. clean it and get a chair mat, stop destroying your carpet ----- we get it...you hydrate with way too much pizza and momo (i think) is covered in what i can only assume is tissues. the deviluke's deserve better than that. also cover up your wallpaper when taking photos...unfortunately it's maybe the most sane part of this image ------- You're fooling no one with those weights. but at least you touch grass ------ this one looks great. BUT. it absolutely kills me to see, from what i can tell, a proper hardwood floor being gouged to hell and back...such a shame. ------- and lucky number whatever your desk is going to fold itself it in half you really need to scrub that wall...and vacuum...do gamers not have vacuum cleaners? ------ .... ... fuck.
  18. im sure it was discounted....but the alienware tax just wipes that right the fuck out.
  19. people care about how others type? that's sad. people care about how their typing is perceived by others (especially Linus)? that's sad.
  20. Its almost like there is no singular answer and is going to be entirely different depending on make and model. It’s all a matter of whats in the contract. some manufacturers may honour the price at signing of the contract, others might say the price could go up, but have it capped at a certain percentage depending on wait time. you’re acting like something that is very real and happening literally right now is an impossibility.
  21. none of this has anything to do with becoming obsolete... But since you're on the topic of outrageous claims: You think smartphones are bad now? all i can think of with this stupid pin is the movie "her". if this becomes wide spread, people will start using it like they use chatGPT and chatbots now but in a much more "open" way (since it''s main purpose to to interact with LLMs). this will destroy people's abilities to speak to other humans and having an AI girlfriend/boyfriend or wife/husband, might actually become common enough to doom our species.
  22. I would say this would entirely depend on the timing. At the peak of the shortage where every second post was people whining about scalpers, i think a lot of people would probably have supported it.
