To bolster this, after the 750ti the 50 products have had pretty lame price to performance compared to the next step up, but have remained quite popular. Most people seem to argue that the lack of additional power is their main advantage an

Nor is it always the most stable. I've had update overwrite my working video card driver and replace it with one that blackscreens on reboot.

Don't forget the added financial cost to your surviving family from chasing a few more months or a miracle cure if you live in the US.

I know masks and ICP makeup were suggested as anti face recognition tools. Did anyone actually test pebble in the shoe? I would have thought clothing to hide the gait would be the answer, burkas or JNCO jeans.

Random pattern would make you stick out, particularly when everyone else in the area has identifiable breathing patterns. You'll want to set your diaphragm pacemaker to mimic the most common breathing pattern, probably based on a sampl

I think AMD was both lucky and good. They came out with a forward thinking design that could bring them back from the brink, but I'm not sure their stuff would have sold if Intel hadn't left them an opening. Most importantly was I

Afterwards some or all of the accountability for the taken action is transferred to the amorphous entity known as AI.

I suppose a dark age would be night and therefore preceded by dusk rather than dawn.

Great info in this post with some uncommon questions answered. I have a 3060 with unimpressive idle power consumption, interesting that it varies so much. I know it would increase the idle power consumption, but have you considered a server

My first guess would be to change the Above 4G decoding setting but depending upon how old the motherboard is it may not have that setting.

I actually think its worse than driving yourself. Humans are OK at doing a repetitive task non-stop. They're terrible at sitting still doing nothing waiting to quickly spring into action. They fall asleep or their mind wanders. This is

I actually think these use cellular connections behind the scenes. It wasn't explicitly stated but when I watched a video there was a brief shot of a 4G modem.

Smartphones work very hard to obfuscate that files even exist, probably to push people to use cloud services. Hard to learn how they work if you can't even see them.

As a counterpoint, I'm RMAing a Seagate HDD that I used for biweekly backups at the moment. It completed half of the backup as usual, there was a failure in the logs where it dropped out and now it constantly errors and clicks on start

The worst part is the algorithms don't even have to be correct. A ton of algorithms, designed to find transgressions, likely judged by purchasers by how many they find. Eventually they are relied upon and are standard for ass coverin

That is one part, but they are so voracious and aggressive that they are starting to crush hosts of that content and cause things become less open. In a way, they are not only 'stealing' it for themselves but they're also era

This feels like it already was half happening anyway so it isn't to big of a leap. I also think this is the endgame of things like Recall in windows. Steal the training data right off your PC, no need to wait for the sucker to upload i

I see captchas all the time on my home internet connection without a VPN these days. That era seems to be ending, probably because AI scraping is now using residential IP blocks.

AI scrapping, bloated javascript pages that are mostly text, ads, existing captchas, etc also all waste energy for no gain to the end user and we mostly just accept it or maybe run an ad blocker. I see people complain PoW solutions make it

Its bad enough hostile software updates from Microsoft are force bundled with Microsoft security updates. Not sure I want to bundle everyone's else's hostile updates with them as well.

AI will probably increase GDP. In the same way shooting the windows out of everyone's houses would increase GDP. Then we can claim is grew the economy.

Not disputing your broader point necessarily, but don't hard drives also include memory for cache while dram cache has become less and less common on SSDs? (to point where it is now uncommon on new SSD devices)

Passkeys support an attestation anti-feature, enshrined in the spec. This feature can be abused (and will be IMO, why put it in the spec otherwise?) to limit which providers can access a service. Lock-in is built into the design. One of the

No, I think he's mostly right but it is a little more complicated. Most services demand a cell number verification on account creation for user tracking and identification under the guise of security for you. The SMS 2FA setup flow jus

Many of the big companies seem to really want you to use their app so there's this big game of smoke and mirrors to avoid saying it is TOTP or what they're actually doing. And of course they make it as big of a pain to export your

I see no reason to ban those even if you have strong reservations about fluoride in the water supply. Since this administration rarely functions on logic I expect they'll move to banning the toothpaste, mouthwash and the topical treatm

It seems clear Intel was either intentionally trying to hamstring this market or at least trying to make up margin by bundling it with an obsolete process chipset.

My favorite are the trap towns that didn't exist, but because of the maps with the trap towns on them a form of citogensis occurs and the town is bootstrapped into existence in the real world.

Is it easy? Last time I tried to create a throwaway account it demanded a video of my head. This was after automatically banning on creation my account.
