I wouldn’t mind them all using HTML for UI if they’d learn to share the same one, and only load it when they need to show me something.

No, Razer, your “mouse driver” does not need to load Chrome at all times, when I’ll only ever look at it once.

They do, they have like a daily article debunking shit.

Wait until this shit starts an actual war.

Reddit already ruined Reddit. The AI slop is just the broken glass in the turd.

I don’t know why they’d think I’d capture 600MB/s of uncompressed video though.

Since the torrent sites are crammed with full quality 4k Bluray remuxes and WebDLs direct from Amazon, there’s clearly easier and better ways of doing this than putting encryption in a cable.

What a waste of money.

I just upload videos of me shitting directly to German porn sites, and then read the comments to see if I have anything to worry about.

This was a thing for a bit in the Xbox 360 era, but disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Wasn’t there some Nvidia thing that also tried to do this on PC?

Allowed it with any DirectX game apparently.

Lack of NSA funding to run their man in the middle platform that everyone likes.

Had a kill command actually been sent, or does the device just not work without a remote server talking to it every so often?

Because the second one is probably worse from a “what if this company goes bust” standpoint.

Been doing that for years. Unless you think everyone got magically more fascist out of nothing.

Practically inventing loot boxes.

Killing ownership of videogames.

The usual.

To quote a recent post “we taught computers to talk like middle managers and assumed that meant computers were sentient, rather than assuming that middle managers aren’t”

And the worst thing is, they probably still won’t be as self-destructively greedy as they were before.

I just don’t want some company having a picture of me in my dressing gown getting ready for a big wank.

But in other news, VPNs are now really popular for some reason.

Huawei: Fuck everything, we’re doing five folds.

The way I see it, a box of drives still needs something to connect it to your network.

And that something that can only do a basic connection costs only a little less than something that can run a bunch of other stuff too.

You can see why it all gets bundled together.

I can see why it was popular with hikers.

Never know when you might need to start a fire to keep warm.

When I was doing work experience in around 1995, I did mine at a local computer firm. A few days in, the doorbell rang. I looked over at the security camera. It was four lads in balaclavas.

I thought we were going to get robbed. The boss opened the door, put his hand over the camera, and returned a few seconds later with his hands full of SIMMs. Which he dropped on the table in front of me.

“Test these will you” he said, and that was it. That’s what memory theft was like. A bunch of lads breaking into offices, nicking the RAM from the PCs, and selling it local computer shops who would sell it right back to the offices they stole it from.

Not one guy having an expensive package stolen at random.

That would be scalpees.
