sfmike··on Nvidia announces next-gen RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs
One thing I always remember when people say a 2k gpu is insanity. How many people get a 2k ebike. a 100k weekend car. a 15k motorcycle to use once a month. a time share home. Comparatively a gamer using it even a few hours a day for 3k 4090 build is really an amazing return on that investment.
sfmike··on Nvidia announces next-gen RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs
new cod is really unoptimized. on a few years old 3080 still getting 100 fps on 4k that's pretty great. if he uses some frame gen such as lossless he can get 120-150. Say what you will about nvidia prices but you do get years of great gaming out of them.

forget the post but some dude had a startup piping his 3090 to use via cloudflare tunnels for his ai saas making 5 figures a month off of his 1k gpu that handled the work load, I'd say he was doing it more then right.
sfmike··on S Korean crypto-boss Do Kwon to be extradited to US
i actually disagree with this philosophy. If you are a small business and you co market or collaborate with another and have no idea about their ethics should you see legal action for them being illicit in any way? How would a youtuber be able to audit and actually get enough information to determine a massive company wasn't above board.

sfmike··on M4 MacBook Pro
I wonder if apple intelligence will be resource heavy and this is the reason for the RAM increase across the board.
sfmike··on M4 MacBook Pro
I maybe don't understand but isn't an intel at 5.5ghz faster in terms of bits processed then the 4.4ghz m4? wouldn't that be fastest as more data can be processed?

sfmike··on Google now defaults to not indexing your content
I'm loving perplexity over chatgpt am I crazy but I find it so fun to use for web search tasks/queries
sfmike··on Google now defaults to not indexing your content
They've probably realized that those who will make content that makes them more money with ads are the same willing to go through hoops to use search console to be indexed. Cheaper costs of indexing and auto sorting to those that are more monetizable in nature. Also no toil. For them its a multi front win.
