The sheer amount of money being removed by the 1 percent is regoddamndiculous. It’s something like 45 trillion dollars since wages diverged from productivity in 1975.

It would require Apple to accept a dollar less in profit.

Thanks I hate it.

In other news politicians continue to be confused as to why people are angry…

Well shit. Time to rip my own files because their migration stuff is going to be all Microsoft proprietary.

Hey I’ve got them beat I’ve never tried Linux!

(I need to though, I really do.)

That reminds me of this comic strip…

The coffee grounds.

YSK - You can find a Tesla protest near you by making a sign and looking for the closest Tesla Service Center/Dealer…

Yes that’s the point. By purposefully hosting the virus they are endangering everyone who isn’t protected because it’s not a regional thing. It spreads on planes and in tourist areas. Which is why there’s a case from LAX in California now.

Furthermore the more they willfully host it, the more it mutates and risks breaking the containment we do have on it.

We’re all interconnected. Shitty people in Texas can kill us all.

Well when the president asks you to do a car commercial for him do you turn him down? He might find someone else to scowl behind a desk.

They’re all state actors these days because all the ones that didn’t hook up with a country for protection either got their doors kicked in at 3 in the morning; or they kept to small enough operations to not be a real bother. I guess one of them could have forgotten the 2010’s, but I doubt it. They tend to be smarter than other criminals.

Best case? Some grey hat found a hole in security for Internet connected cameras and is just having fun. Worst case? Training runs by a state actor.

I’m playing on a normal TV because I’m not made of money.

ARM isn’t going to magically make GPUs need less brute force energy in badly optimized games.

I am reminded how much better Forbidden West looks and runs on PS5 compared to either version of Zero Dawn.

Really? I’ve played both on PS5 and didn’t notice any real difference in performance or graphics. I did notice that the PC Version of Forbidden West has vastly higher minimum requirements though. Which is the opposite of performance gains.

Who the fuck cares if leaves are actually falling off or spawning in above your screen to fall?

And BG3 has notoriously low minimums, it is the exception, not the standard.

If you want to see every dimple on the ass of a horse then that’s fine, build your expensive computer and leave the rest of us alone. Modern Next Gen Graphics aren’t adding anything to a game.

That’s my point though, the minimums are jacked up well beyond where they need to be in order to cram new tech in and get 1 percent better graphics even without RT. There’s not been any significant upgrade to graphics in the last 5 years, but try playing a 2025 AAA with a 2020 graphics card. It might work, but it’s certainly not supported and some games are actually locking out old GPUs.

2FA is just dead simple. I contact you, you contact me, handshake achieved. If you call me out of the blue I raise the alarm. If you get a login attempt with a failed handshake you raise the alarm.

Putting it all behind a pop up screen just isn’t trustworthy to the human brain.

Except it’s being forced on us and we have to buy more and more powerful GPUs just to handle the minimums. And the new stuff isn’t stable anyways. So we get the ability to see the peach fuzz on a character’s face if we have a water-cooled $5,000 spaceship. But the guy rocking solid GPU tech from 2 years ago has to deal with stuttering and crashes.

This is insane, and we shouldn’t be buying into this.

Then let the tech mature more so it’s actually analogous with modern EVs and not EVs 30 years ago.
