Only wearing shorts?! Shameful!

Based? Based on what?

Based on having the same opinion as me.

Pants smooth things out.

I think you’re assuming a non-human fantasy dwarf here.

CPU manufacturers were getting jealous at the other hardware manufacturers claiming shortages in this artificial scarcity scenario.

True, sometimes the most abusive businesses are small.

They are a stock buyer and holder, so they take part in that pricing. If inflated valuations became a detriment, the stocks would be priced accordingly. We shouldn’t desire unrealistic p/e ratios.

If the valuations are bullshit, then the tax code should call them out on it so that valuations wouldn’t be so inflated. If the valuations aren’t bullshit, then they should be able to sell to get the money.

I’m saying that every form of progress comes with challenges and downsides, and this saying of “Next generation will be fucked” is a cognitive bias every generation has had for a pretty long time.

Change is not necessarily progress.

Oh boy, guess we can look forward to more vibe-coded slop which will make it an even bigger pain to use.

They should try entering the desktop GPU market.

I thought smart glasses could be kind of neat, but no way in hell would I get a pair from Meta.

True, but maybe a good compromise would be having the fuzzy date in parentheses/brackets if there’s enough space.

I absolutely hate fuzzy dates, not only because of the problem you mentioned, but also because they can get wildly inaccurate. For example, on youtube I often see something counted as posted a year ago, but if I look at the absolute timestamp, it was actually 1 year and 10 months. That’s too big of a difference to truncate.

That was my point, the DNC and their mainstream media buddies said that he didn’t focus enough on issues facing specifically black people. That was one of many attacks they made against him.

I mean, it has been applied as a way to divide, like when Bernie proposed all sorts of policies to help the poor and mainstream media ran with “but what does Bernie do specifically for poor black people?”

That’s not to say there aren’t such specific concerns, but it wasn’t like Hillary was doing any better in that regard. It was solely used as a way to make Bernie look less progressive. So instead we got Trump with the simple and straightforward “make america great again”.

Fighting a war on multiple fronts is a great way to stretch your resources thin and muddy the strategy.

This isn’t the first time that the memory companies have colluded to raise prices. It’s perhaps one of the more extreme instances, yes, but with the AI excuse going away, things will have to go back to reality, especially as China ramps up production and ruins the cartel setup we’re currently stuck with.

That’s assuming everyone’s devices crap out during this year or two while the AI and memory companies play pretend that they’re actually going to use up all this memory.

For a while, but when the AI bubble pops and as China ramps up production, we’ll hopefully see the memory cartel eat shit.

I do, that’s why I refuse to buy anything so that they can have more supply.
