The key difference is its sorted by an algorithm designed to increase your engagement and view duration. And quite often the easiest way to do that is by generating negative emotional responses, etc

And yet Google still hasn’t rolled out RCS for Google Voice, and last I checked there was an issue with it and Google Fi as well. (It works but it precludes some advertised feature of Fi or something.)

They had integrated the L2 on-die before that already with the Pentium Pro on Socket 8. IIRC the problem was the yields were exceptionally low on those Pentium Pros and it was specifically the cache failing. So every chip that had bad cache they had to discard or bin it as a lower spec part. The slot and SECC form factor allowed them to use separate silicon on a larger node by having the cache still be on-package (the SECC board) instead of on-die.

Yeah so the thing with PC parts suppliers is that every brand is going to have people who have experienced problems with their stuff.

Gigabyte I’ve never had a problem with, but yeah during the pandemic their power supplies were fucking exploding so yeah that’s a problem.

Asus I’ve never had a problem with, but yeah their boards on both sides have been setting voltages and power limits very aggressively, killing AM5 CPUs catastrophically, potentially causing instability on higher end Intel chips as well it seems. That’s a problem.

Etc etc etc

Saying that it could be used to attack white or white presenting women.

That’s not his implication. The white woman there was protesting for a Gaza ceasefire. This guy has stated numerous times he views people protesting for a ceasefire in Gaza as idiots. Targeting in this context is targeting them as “useful idiots” to cause civil unrest.

Notice how it’s a total coincidence that TikTok must be banned again as soon as it becomes one of the biggest platforms for dissent wrt Israel and Gaza.

Google also won’t roll out RCS to Google Voice. They’re just as shit as everyone else.

What does God need with a starship chatbot?

Ohanion was also a fucking prick, shitting up the company while he was there. All the Ellen Pao stuff and the r/IAMA clusterfuck that led to the first big Reddit shutdown? Yeah that was all Ohanion’s doing. Then he let Pao take all the heat for his decisions and get ousted.

Alabama would have probably let her die with one of the ectopic pregnancies tbh.

So are they going to actually resume work on a newer node with this? They abandoned work on 7nm what, 5 years ago now?

This is kind of a nothingburger. It requires an instruction that first launched on AMD Phenom and Intel’s Nehalem architecture (1st gen i5/i7). I would think the vast majority of people running 11 on unsupported CPUs would be running something newer than that.

That’s cool and all, and maybe it will eliminate some of the worst bullshit, but it’s not going to stop enshitification. Certainly not with big tech because it’s driven by the profit motive in satisfying initial investors, going public, and then engaging in the quest to make the line always go up forever.

The only thing that’s going to stop enshitification is to stop depending on that model for the platforms we want.

A couple years of not being able to buy them anywhere close to MSRP did enough damage I guess. Plus it exposed people to some alternatives.

They’re also building quite a few in the heartland of the US. Although honestly I think they’re one big scam by the people actually constructing them – fully stocked luxury bunker for you, your family, friends, etc all on some billionaires’ dime. If shit hits the fan and you don’t let them in what’re they gonna do – sue you about it?

The billionaire doomsday prepper mindset is ridiculous when you think about it for 30 seconds. Physical control over the resources around would be all that mattered, not how much Monopoly money you had in the before times.

They work fine for me. The only time I’ve had to ask for assistance is for an age check or once when I double scanned something. But then I’m not a blithering idiot and I know to look at the PLU sticker on produce and that you can usually just punch in the UPC code if an item won’t scan correctly. I’d much rather do it myself than have to make awkward small talk with a cashier. And standing in lines? You’d be standing in line waiting for a cashier too.

On the retailer side, they’re either going to have to accept the increased theft rate or they’re going to have to go back to paying cashiers. That’s just the way it is – they can’t have their cake and eat it too in that regard.

The article is a little hard to follow, since it’s about an email about sending an email. It wouldn’t surprise me if Taylor gave themselves enough plausible deniability to survive a motion for summary judgement, but I think if this goes before a jury it will be obvious what was going on.

This was also present in Threadripper 5000, per the article.

The article talks about those mobile systems, but the actual benchmark on Computerbase tested these on a desktop.
