PHGamer··on Iran says it will target US tech companies in Middle East
as if they weren't targeting anything valuable already.
PHGamer··on RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung
you should upgrade to a used or new 12900k with DDR4 since its still cheaper than dd5 even if it is up. then get a used 3080ti with 12gb. youll be able to do proper h.265 decode/encode with that for up to 4k (unfortuantly not 8k but hey no one really has that yet)
PHGamer··on U.S. investors, Trump close in on TikTok deal with China
government appointed commissars eh. i see were bringing it back eh. bet they will make sure it wont criticize a certain group of people lol
PHGamer··on Slack has raised our charges by $195k per year
should just switch to discord. each project can have its own server
PHGamer··on PayPal to support Ethereum and Bitcoin
seriously. given how sellers and creators have had their accounts locked and sometimes not gotten their crap back. it would be unwise. if your going to buy crypto on paypal make sure they let you forward it to your own wallet.
PHGamer··on Are DOGE's Claims of Social Security Payments to 150-Year-Olds Way Off Base?
the cobalt thing would only explain the 150 years but what about the ranges after that including 1 at 300? clearly something wierd going.
PHGamer··on US will ban cancer-linked Red Dye No. 3 in cereal and other foods
this is merely a money grab by moneyd interests to ban dyes that are not patented and to force us onto something that is patented.
PHGamer··on Laid off for the first time in my career, and twice in one year
i knew someone who was QA his boss approved his PTO to go to the dentist. however that day turned out to be the layoff day so HR threated him to come to the office. was hilarious. god i hate HR. anyways if you ever go on PTO turn your phone off completely.
PHGamer··on Wait Until 8th
meanwhile millenials had full reign over the internet as kids cause their boomer parents didnt know shit. back when everyone did the famous A/S/L questionare from randos online lol.
PHGamer··on Japan's Cat Island won't survive much longer
or there might not be any native species on there.
PHGamer··on Japan's Cat Island won't survive much longer
i wonder if this is better than just letting them go feral.since its an island you could argue you could make an ecosytem by putting some sort of plant eater that the cats can go after.
PHGamer··on Britain buys semiconductor factory for defence purposes
the brits gave up hong kong in the 90s. as soon as that happened no one was expecting them to back the case. however, i suppose the brits were optimistic so they didnt have to have regret about losing a colony.

i think taiwan might get some defense but only cause shit is made there and the west cant pretend the chinese wont flex their power

PHGamer··on Britain buys semiconductor factory for defence purposes
whats the process node it can do. im suprised a fab built in 1991 is stil valuable. the us is trying to build a 5nm fab in arizona and by the time its done well be at 1 or less. granted still probably worth it since it would only be about 7 years old process but 1991. thats gotta be old unless they kept upgrading it
PHGamer··on The perils of transition to 64-bit time_t
well sometimes the old stuff is better than the new stuff. it really is hilarious though. things in the software world have regressed in some ways especially when it comes to privacy and locking down data.
PHGamer··on RabbitMQ 4.0
interesting so there is no more free support for rabbitmq is what im seeing here for the most part.
PHGamer··on What You Get After Running an SSH Honeypot for 30 Days
I remember a very popular windows xp key that always circulated on the net. it was funny as hell doing some contract work and a client giving me this code his former IT used to install windows.

Im like is this what I think it is.. anyways he ended up buying a legit license since you know lawyer but still funny that I saw it in a business environment.

PHGamer··on Apple's On-Device and Server Foundation Models
it would have been nice if they allowed you to build your own apple AI system (i refused to redefine apples AI as just AI :-p ) using clusters of mac minis and mac pros. but of course they still want that data for themselves like google does. its secure against everyone but apple and the NSA probably lol.
PHGamer··on Forget moonshots, investors want profit now
now that the borrow rate has gone up and dollar has strengthed. they arent competing against 0% inflation so less need to go into risky plays. in some ways this helps the economy because it allows people to focus on what really matters but in other ways a bunch of people who were employed because of low interest rates about about to lose their jobs. Plus makes month to month operations more expensive with the higher cost of borrowing for companies (which most do now)
PHGamer··on Thoughts on Seed Oil
so a good thing? i think the big probably with all these substitutions is they are to make us eat more of the bad thing. if you could only eat fried food or sweets on an occasion then no issue. however, those are the things that are made cheap.

then again maybe its cause those taste the best due to being evolutationary selected and companies arent trying to kill us but get us to buy whatever our bodies easily go for.

PHGamer··on CA insurance crisis: Thousands to lose coverage as two more insurers withdraw
insurance is a scam anyways. the only reason it works is because nothing is supposed to happen. howevever, shit has been happening (thanks to weak enforcement of laws) and their easy profit margins are being lost because asset values have balooned
PHGamer··on The xz attack shell script
if anyone has worked in any development. (closed or open) you know half the time developers are lazy and just approve PRs. Linus Torvalds is like the glimming exception where he will call out shit all day long.
PHGamer··on Why are so many people being hit with £5 fines for 'counterfeit' stamps?
why do we need to track stamps. seriously.
PHGamer··on The race to replace Redis
Do we need to "FIX" opensource? I am being serious here. It seems like people aren't getting it. Open Source is about openess and the ability to modify. Yes, people can lose money to cloud provider hosting but why does an Open Source project need to make a lot of money?

I say alot because its not like they can't still make money. They can still consult, they can still offer support or hosting but because theyre not making millions they want a "new" license.

Its stupid. you solve the itch then your done unless your doing maintance. people making open source software like paid software, constantly adding new features and changing things to justify their existance. You dont need millions in devs if your just solving a core problem.

PHGamer··on H.R. 7521 – TikTok Ban Bill [pdf]
a ban on tik tok is antithetical to an open market.
PHGamer··on Richard Stallman reveals he has cancer in the GNU 40 Hacker Meeting talk [video]

PHGamer··on Lisa Su saved AMD – Now she wants Nvidia's AI crown
and yet amd lately has been quietly just been slightly less than nvidia but worse product. amd sucks thats just it. their market share is crumbling and nvidias is getting stronger because people are like fuck it, at that price might as well jsut buy the better one that Just works TM
PHGamer··on Like the macOS Dock but for macOS System 7
the code could use some whitespce...
PHGamer··on Qualcomm CEO says he’s expecting Apple to use its own modems in iPhones in 2024
yea but apple has also chosen to use lightning with shit xfer speeds just to lock in its customers. m1 might have been nice but not every descision they made was good (look how they nerfed qualcomm iphones back in the day because the intel models couldnt compete with it)
PHGamer··on TSMC ups Arizona investment from $12B to $40B with second semi fab
big investment eh? guess tsmc knows china is going to invade soon.
PHGamer··on DHS announces extension of Real ID full enforcement deadline
i feel like real id is unconstitutional. it shouldn't be required to enter airports or government buildings as a citizen of the united states.
