The bubble won’t pop. AI has become a national defense initiative. The only thing that will pop NVIDIA’s bubble is another chip designer coming out with something better. Maybe someone will use AI that ran on NVIDIA to build something else, therefore using NVIDIA to kill NVIDIA.

They’re dissecting hardware & software, installing custom firmware, sharing the info online, etc for others to collaborate on. All the stuff companies will sue you in the US for doing.

Honestly at this point I’m convinced China has won in terms of technology. Not that China is able to produce the smallest chips, but that our capitalistic patent-based approach has prevented the collaboration necessary to innovate actual uses for the technology.

If a partner demand they have it on to prove they’re not cheating, then they should be looking for a different partner.

Brave’s CEO is a homophobic Trump supporter. No thanks.

I mean it does seem to adequately represent the American corpocracy bureaucracy.

Absolutely not the case… I sense a bad case of Stockholm syndrome.

Yes, for the amount of hate Google gets… Which I think it is fair to be critical of any product that compromises privacy… I recently tried helping my mom clean up her iPhone, and seriously like 100x worse. Almost everything you do on Apple demands you have another Apple device. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever dealt with.

For them to disappear with it

At least KDE is working on making their Qt apps cross-platform. Unfortunately most GNOME apps I know of receive updates for a couple years & then die off like this, and will occasionally get replaced. I think the issue partly stems from the pain points that have come with GTK+.

I wouldn’t trust them to not randomly enable WiFi, but you can also use their modem but disable any built in WiFi on it & still use your own router. ISPs continue to try to bundle their modem & router, which gives them complete access to your home network. Some lucky people have found fiber providers that let them use their own SFP.

Pretty much no issues at this point. In fact, in some ways I feel NVIDIA has done better than AMD recently.

A better question would be, why do domains cost so much.

They’re referring to all the subsidized bureaucratic closed-source monopoly-spyware that they force you to buy for NSA-purposes.

Hm, let’s not forget this gem:

The government also wants you to believe that Hamas is running AI bot farms with fiber ethernet under all that ruble. But what they don’t warn you about:

I think the appropriate headline should be:

“Reddit in talks to embrace iris-scanning Orb to verify users created by man alleged by his own sister to have molested her throughout her childhood beginning at age 3.”

I have a Premium subscription, but I can give you an even bigger reason to never use YouTube. They actively push brain rot in their search. No matter what words I use to search for something, it is almost always the same results. Looking for nostalgic videos from the 90s? YT: “Here is the most recent brain rot on the Internet.”

Doesn’t bother me either. I honestly didn’t know spicy food making people shit was a thing. I always thought it was shitty food that caused spicy diarrhea.

Even bezo’s head took on the resemblance of the prick he is.

I wasn’t expecting to find a whole conspiracy while trying to fix my Deck, perhaps the memo is a hoax or something, but this all just lines up so naturally.

My experience is that it is intentional, just like countless other examples of monopolistic anti-competition behavior. Especially with gaming, where a duopoly of video card manufacturers has spent the last several years intentionally crippling virtual GPU support on consumer-grade hardware. There are many others to blame though since Windows is designed to collect as much telemetry as possible, making it near impossible to fully disable its collection. There are entire forensic analysis toolkits dedicated to the troves of data that Windows stores on nearly every activity you perform. So while Microsoft’s actions may clearly violate antitrust legislation, the intelligence agencies saw Microsoft as their biggest ally & worked to help them maintain the status quo.
