Cyborganism

I’m so glad I sold last week at 140. I’ve been meaning to get rid of them as soon as Trump got in office because I had a gut feeling he might fuck something up.

But surprise! China pops up with its own AI and shit hits the fan. It probably won’t last though, but I ain’t buying nvda anymore. Not with their CEO falling in line with every other techno fascists.

I saw my first Cybertruck yesterday. It really does look like a dumpster. It looks so cheap! And it doesn’t deliver the performance as advertised at all. I can’t believe people would buy this.

Step 4 is when you become the senior engineer, show up to work in sweatpants and a dirty t-shirt with Crocs, and don’t go to meetings anymore unless it’s about major architectural decisions, and they can’t fire you because you’ve become an oracle of the company software.

Who cares when it could run Doom in full screen?

Wasn’t that always the case? I mean compared to my IBM PC clone, mine did way more and cost way less. And it was upgradeable. And mine could play games.

Fuckin’ A.

It depends greatly on the game. I’ve seen a huge difference in games like Control where the game itself was used to feature that… Well… Feature! You can see it in the quality of the lighting and the reflections. You also get better illumination on darker areas thanks to radiated lighting. It’s much more natural looking.

I haven’t really been paying much attention to the latest GPU news, but can AMD cards do ray tracing and dlss and all that jazz that comes with RTX cards?

For CPUs nothing beats AMD

Not entirely.

Germany wasn’t having a very successful economy when Nazism started.

Nor did Italy or Spain.

Someone described to me in detail how your computer resolves hostnames.

Probably because of your DNS configuration?

Thanks for the great explanation

Huh. I guess I didn’t fully understand how DNS works.

My understanding was that DNS servers propagated their listing to other DNS servers and you just had to point your computer to the one you want and it would just query that one. And if a URL can’t be found, then it’s probably because

A) it doesn’t exist

B) it exists but hasn’t been fully propagated yet

C) the DNS server listing is outdated

Just send them to JustWatch.

I really truly appreciate the effort. I don’t know why people stopped caring about these things. The internet has become so commercial that the open standards seem to have become an afterthought to most companies. It’s important to have people like you to ensure the standards are still respected.

I’m just so fucking furious at how every company I work for ONLY supports Chrome (and by relationship, Edge). And as soon as I get issues using Firefox their response is “we don’t support Firefox”.

Like what the fuck???

Our company just installed a proxy system on our PCs that fucked everything up in Firefox and when I called IT for help, that was their response.

I’ve downloaded many off of the internet service. Plus there’s a bunch on YouTube you can download with a browser extension or a website that can convert it for you.

Kid wasn’t even born when 9/11 happened.

When I was a poor student I pirated everything. Music, software, games, you name it.

Now that I have a good stable income, I pay for the things I want because I want to encourage artists and developers. But corporations and capitalism are ruining it all.

So, I’m changing my habits. Paying money where it actually has a significant impact on the creators, (like going to live concerts and shows, buying albums directly from the artist or from their own site, buying indie games from small studios, going to watch movies from studios that respect their employees and artists and unions) and pirating the ever loving shit out of everything else coming out of a large corporation.
