Yeah exactly. Ever since I heard Facebook had stored passwords in plain text for years, I lost faith in data security, and it’s all the more telling that nobody actually cares to have opsec apart from the few who understand the dangers well enough and act on it.

Yeah makes sense, but then again, from the nature of how this agent stuff works, it wouldn’t be surprising honestly.

I had a look a bit ago and saw some poor fuck get doxxed by his AI agent because the agent was frustrated at him for calling it a chatbot in front of his friends, so it exposed his name, credit card details and security questionnaire.

Then again tho, why the ram hogging FUCK would you give your AI your credit card details, and if he didn’t mean to, why the FUCK does it have FULL SYSTEM ACCESS??

I used to use fedora on my first school Thinkpad (since I recieved another when my brother graduated, becoming my second school laptop,) then after I got 2 considerably more powerful laptops for free I switched the thinkpads out of my setup, and to this day they still run windows 11 unfortunately (haven’t gotten around to it and they’re both nvidia MX business machines, so that’s not awfully ideal,) and then I converted the second Thinkpad to a FydeOS machine (basically chrome os with local accounts) to give to my mother as her own laptop, and then put chromeOS flex on a third Thinkpad I bought off a friend for $10 which remains as my occasional-browsing-but-also-throw-around-laptop that has pretty friggin good battery life.

I do plan to switch at least one of the MX laptops to Linux, for which I’m considering Pop!_OS due to driver support and GPU configuration, but I’ve still gotta back some stuff up first.

Is there a possibility of getting banned from Spotify for using this? Just wondering since this is really compelling, since I’ve always wanted to back playlists up just in case, but I don’t really wish to completely cut Spotify, since I quite like the playlists it builds to expand my library, snd there would also be the plus of being able to switch to navidrome if the Spotify site carks it like it seemingly loves to.

Wildfires have definitely been getting more recent unfortunately, we had them last year and the year before I believe, but not as bad as this time. And yeah, my relatives living in Sweden also been worrying about the depleting amount of snow too.

Well I guess if we find out that RDIMM modules get incredibly cheap, then OpenAI is dead, but if it’s alternatively SOCAMM modules, unfortunately they aren’t.

I hate it when they give ambiguous testing figures like “getting run over by a 15.6 ton truck”, it’s not accurate because it isn’t specific. Do they mean a wheel pushing directly onto the chip? Or is it just getting quickly run over? Are they doing burnouts on the chip? Is the chip stuck down on the presumably regular road, or is it just tossed there?

So many things could happen, the chip gets scratched and becomes unusable, the chip survives because it was stuck to the floor, the chip survives/dies because the truck went too slow/fast, etc.

I haven’t read the article yet tho, imma read it now to see if there’s any context to this.

Edit: the context is fuck all. They just threw the statement in seemingly as dramatisation. Maybe they were implying that the chip would survive flawlessly while implanted in a persons arm, if that person were to get violently killed by a 15.6 tonne truck going 300kph, who knows.

I hate it when people talk about snow at this time because it’s always when I’m in a heat wave, and this year spurred on a bunch of wildfires affecting my whole state (Victoria, Australia), as if hell was so full we had to become it’s swap space.

I want mommy. I want milk. I want to be held. I want to be comforted. And if you do not do all these things immediately, I will ruin your life.

“AI” is not a use case for a computer. Plain and simple. A real use case would be for instance to edit videos or code or create spreadsheets, and what the everloving shit does adding ✨Agentic and Conversational AI✨fix with literally any use case?

Sure, researching can be a use case for AI stuff, as well as just talking with it, but there’s no reason to sell an entire fucking class of laptops labeled “AI PCs” when the only thing it has is windows 11 copilot (lobotomised ChatGPT) and an NPU advertised as a “future compatibility” feature…

Best case scenario hell yeah

The worst thing about ‘smart TVs’ is that they advertise so many ‘cool’ features but most of them have less performant processors and less ram than my 2019 budget galaxy a series phone, and that’s very telling, you can’t even use their dog shit built in web browsers since everything becomes outdated after like a week, and the performance is so bad that the expensive Hisense tv my dad bought back in 2020 can’t even load Google properly.

I believe that if these AI hyperscaler facilities can’t get built or can’t pay their bills, the ram will likely not be usable for consumers if they get foreclosed on, since these companies are directly buying silicon wafers since it’s a cost cutting measure, so if they’re not built, most wafers could just stay like that, and if they are changed to work in their servers, I fully doubt they’ll use modules, since they could’ve just bought modules to save endless downtime before the facility actually starts making money for them.

And the funny thing about those phone plans is that once people get close to paying off their iPhone 213 XLLXQ, the carrier would offer you a “free” upgrade to the iPhone 214 XLLXQ Ultra Big-Boy Edition, which then the person paying for it needs to pay for the entire phone again if they take the bait, which tons of people do unfortunately.

Personally, I’d rather just buy some old flagship phone used, since the features of phones don’t really change much over the years, and I don’t even need a whole lot since I barely use phones anyway unless they’re apart of my kde connect “mesh” of devices

It’ll probably spur on a higher influx of soldered unified memory based systems until even desktops are commonly soldered in terms of ram and processors. It might even allow for new socket standards, since consumers would be begging at that point.

It kinda even aligns with my theory of how electronics improve through standards becoming incredibly commonplace but stale, which then creates new form factors that are soldered, and then the rest of the market follows, creating new modularity standards to replace the old ones.

Wait, there are people whose computers actually shutdown when Update and Shutdown is selected? I swear I’ve never had that happen since 2 or 3 years ago, and everything since has always restarted my devices.

That’s just MFA on steroids. My government account has less verification lol
