Why would your opinion be so strongly FOR AI? There might be a few usable cases, but it’s nothing special, and has so many flaws, it’s not worth the detrimental affect it has on the environment!
All the hype is generated by the companies who’ve lost their asses in investing in it, and they hope others do too to lessen the impact.
Remind me, is that 5th or 4th gen Intel? I’m thinking 5th, I seem to remember haswell-E (extreme) half gen coming out, which is why I’m stuck… but either way that’s awesome! Coming up on 12 years solid! Just retired my 3rd gen and opted to take my 7th gen daily driver and replace that machine, and make a 12th the new daily. Last year, so prices were a bit better. Didn’t have a use for that 3770K though anymore unfortunately.
Maybe she was named as a legal adult at 18, but yeah, odd they wouldn’t disclose his name if he’s being tried as an adult at 16 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Good for the half that’s fighting it!!
I was under the impression “air-gap” doesn’t apply to browsers, as you’d need to not have an outside internet connection.
Dual boot your current one so you have a choice to learn Linux at your own pace! Still have w11 for a fall back just on case.
Isn’t Jesus in Donald J. Trump?

Honestly, no BS, I’ll run for president if it means getting this guy out of here!
Not true, ordering companies to block DNS when they don’t “operate” (hosting servers) in France, it’ll likely do nothing. Just like the US going after non-US companies. They don’t have to comply. Quad9 I would especially think wouldn’t comply since they push for an open and private internet. Google will probably comply because they’re Google and still want everyone’s data they can get.
Gotta make profits first, then tank the market so the billionaires can buy back in the game to make even more.
Dude, just… No. Nobody is killing DNS. You can’t remove that integral part of the system without a strong replacement worldwide.
“We’ll have to ask the IP of the website we want to visit” Ask what, exactly? DNS is the resolver of domain name to IP, so unless everyone’s going to keep a spreadsheet of the IPs they want to visit, you need DNS.
Dude, Amen!! Some of my friends might dry heave at some of the purchases I’ve made and the amount I’ve spent 😅. Yet I’m a drop in the bucket compared to others!
Since they (founding fathers) just protected against a tyrannical government, I’m pretty sure they wanted firearms to be fully legal to own in the future to be able to “easily” do the same thing they just did. I just don’t think they realized how good the tyranny would get at propaganda and misdirection! They knew and had seen this before, they understood the reason behind it. A well regulated militia- at least to me- meant the organization of people to take a stand against the government (bc at the time there were no military branches). Therefore if the corrupted politicians of the time tried to arrest or stop from being overthrown, the people’s militia could work to replace the gov with new individuals!
I honestly think, looking back, the formation of the military (or at least 1 reason) was to protect the gov from its people, but the excuse that it’s for foreign threats was used. Outside of a few smaller attacks and WWs, nobody has really “attacked” America in nearly 250 years. Everything else has been self initiated or inflicted; and, personally, I sort of feel the gov keeps all those willing to “fight” tied up in the military, keeping busy fighting other wars so there really is no chance of a domestic uprise… Obviously all speculation and just presumptions based on actions… I’m no expert!
Edit: at least the last part feels that way. Things are getting really bad at home, so what do we do? Start the first draft in roughly 50 years! Again, not an expert…
Haha this is there sort of thing that got me permabanned from Reddit! 🤣
I once had a fortune cookie that read something like this, “Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want”.
And let me tell you, I have a lot of experience! That cookie made me OK with learning the “hard” way.
Did you know: you can fully sign out of Google on your phone and still use it? You can download an alt app store like F-Droid for most apps, or use APKeep from EFF to get those certain app installers. Or Aurora store, but I’m less familiar with that, and assume it’s the same principle as APKeep. I also recommend NetGuard to individually handle what apps are allowed to use internet access.
Either way, you may not be able to fully remove Google from Android without a custom ROM, but there’s still a lot you can do.
The bottom part of your comment is what we already do. It’s not really helping anyone else out, unless it’s to basically spread awareness to get “the other half” of the country riled up too.
I think the military oath, “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” would be widely interpreted so that a lot of the internal branches of the military would be divided on if he’s an actual threat.
Personally, I think we’re to that point now where he basically does whatever he wants without proper approvals, and then no repercussions either; so it’s reinforcing the ability to do so and shows how powerless/spineless the rest of the gov is.
I just kind of forego any content. I used to watch silly stuff like the Electroboom guy, Linux Tech tips A LONG time ago when it felt more personable and meaningful. My son watches carwow or something, doing car comparisons sort of how Top gear used to, but I’m not into it as I can’t afford those nice cars lol.
Tech review stuff gets under my skin bc it’s so much promotion of sponsors, their channels, and they’re always begging for likes and subscribes… 🤮 plus they’re often biased. I know there’s a large audience to cater to but I feel often times I’m more, product and feature aware than they are, but I’m also obsessed with technology, FOSS, self-hosting, etc.
Ah. A troll account. Got it.
Well, I’ll humor you. The world is changing, and as someone working in this field right now where AI is being pushed, it’s fun to watch people get excited for AI and watch the expression on their faces when they go to use it and are left unimpressed. Like a “I spent all this money for THIS ?!” facial expression.
As to why computer components are so expensive? To put it simply, the memory modules needed for RAM and SSDs are costly to make, and much of these resources are limited in how fast they can reliably be produced. So, many companies are capitalizing on the demand for “AI”, and a lot of that inflated cost is being passed onto consumers. So, thanks, another reason to hate AI I forgot to mention, and yes again, good troll!
