- Comment on Sell your RAM, and quickly go from COD to the real world. 4 days ago:
There is no ram shortage. There was never a ram shortage. There was never a time since this started where ram was not available for sale.
The reason there is what is perceived as a ram shorted is because the news reported and the corporations that make ram was a good enough reason to raise prices.
Just don’t fucking buy it! Dely the instant gratification!
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 1 week ago:
I love how corporations work. “Hey, we completely fucked this up. We mishandled it, made decisions our customers hate, and now we’re scrapping it because we might lose money.” “Could we fix it? Sure. But that would mean changing the business model that made us money 20 years ago, and that’s terrifying. There’s a risk we might lose money.” “And sure, the board won’t lose a dime personally. But the stockholders, basically meerkats who scatter at the first loud noise might panic. And we can’t have that. We might lose money.”

I don’t agree. But not for the reason you might think.
The regular search results on Google are so bad that sometimes the AI overview yields better results.
Lately though, I’ve been using Bing.

You die.
You ascend to the pearly gates. Saint Peter stands there, or the Islamic equivalent, whatever, holding a book with your record. He flips through it.
“Let’s see. Beat his wife and kids, no problem. Stole massive amounts of money, okay. Generally racist, shouldn’t be an issue. Killed a man in cold blood. It was a Jew, so no great loss. Wait. You used pork paintballs? Are you fucking kidding me?”
A hole opens beneath you. You fall straight to hell.

- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 4 weeks ago:
This isn’t Iran.
If they could have done all that by now they would have.
It would be fairly difficult to convince any military branch or even police force to open fire on its own protesting citizens. There is a reason why we have three branches of government and Congress and a Senate.
That’s not to say I’m not downplaying it. It’s still really bad out there.

Short of sending an M1 Abrams, they’ve thrown everything at us along with the kitchen sink.
We’re way past Tank Man. Also, they already sent in the tanks. The police have riot vehicles which are typically repurposed military tanks.
I don’t think you understand how bad it is in the US right now.
There has never been anything like this in this country since WWII and even then the Japanese labor camps were leaps better than alligator alcatraz.

We’re rounding people up into interment camps. We’re way past tank man.

Just in case because this is the internet at the end of the day. Fahrenheit is not linked to a percentage of anything. It’s mostly arbitrary in terms of assigning a number scale to temperature and it’s linked to brine solutions and human body temperature.
- Comment on Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk... 1 month ago:
If you want to dual boot, the best way to do it is on an internal drive.
For the smoothest of operations would I highly recommend is a hard drive with just Windows installed internally and a boot drive with Linux on it, like on a portable hard drive or something along those lines. Mint in this case works really well of course.

Sam Altman put in an order for RAM. A company is willing to supply it. That company is souly responsible for how they distribute their product. They could only supply them with a small portion of the order and be fair about it but they choose not too. 🤷
Yes Altman is not blameless but he’s also not responsible.
- Comment on wisdom 2 months ago:
Sam Altman has nothing to do with the current RAM shortage. Moreover, this is not the first RAM shortage. It also occurred during the earlier crypto-mining boom, and at that time no one was having public meltdowns trying to hunt down the inventor of Bitcoin.
The reason there is a RAM shortage is straightforward, the manufacturers that control the majority of production have chosen to sell primarily to a single industry because that is where the highest margins currently exist. From a financial standpoint, they have little incentive to sell to anyone else.
If you are looking for accountability, direct it at the large corporations that are deliberately allocating supply to maximize profit. They are the ones shaping the shortage, not individual tech executives.

- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 2 months ago:
Two major differences between Amazon and eBay eBay has longer shipping times but a significantly better rating system which holds the buyer accountable as much as it does the seller.
But since I like and enjoy instant gratification Amazon’s faster shipping times are a little better for me especially as a consumer rather than seller.
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 2 months ago:
So I just got a steam deck… A little birthday present to myself.
My local microcenter sells nothing for it… Neither does best buy. And if best buy did I wouldn’t over pay anyway at that failing store.
So… Amazon it is. 40 bucks and two days later I have a silicone case, anti glare screen protector and a cheapo dock.
I didn’t want to get all that shit off amazon… It was just the most convenient place and in my case the only place.
If anything amazon needs to crack down on these bs Chinese sellers.

I never said you had any piss bottles I’m saying people keep tabs open that much for the same reason people have piss bottles.
You’re just messy disorganized and lazy 🤷

People have that many tabs open for the same reason people have full piss bottles next to their computers.
