• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some Japanese shops start rationing GPUs — graphics cards with 16GB VRAM and up are becoming harder to find, says one store⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  GPU shortage V.2?

  I mean, did the first one ever end?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deepfakes Leveled up in 2025—Here’s What’s Coming Next⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the rate this stuff has progressed in a few years, don’t count on being able to recognise it by eye forever.

  And frankly, even if a large minority of people can still identify the difference immediately (which tbh I reckon is close to the point we’re at now), that makes for a majority that will glance at an image and take it as real without question.

  Those people can vote and shape our world

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deepfakes Leveled up in 2025—Here’s What’s Coming Next⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Where do we go from here?

  Looks like oblivion, frankly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve discontinues the entry-level Steam Deck, considerably raising the starting price⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A tenner says this is due to the component price inflation we’re in the middle of

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The LCD Steam Deck's days are coming to an end, as Valve wind down production of the OG model⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised they were still making it tbh, I assumed it was just existing stock

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm

  My immediate reaction is “stay in your lane, Gabe”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM is ruining everything⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The ram cartel produces exactly enough ram to keep prices stable, increased demand means the produced supply is not sufficient so prices rise

  This is not a capacity issue, it’s forced scarcity and collusion laid bare

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Snapchat manipulates its users through notifications⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Facebook did this shit too when I last had the app installed

  You’d get a notification about one of your friends and clicking it just took you to some random brand’s main feed page

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube experiments with messaging and video sharing inside its app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I look forward to in 5 years time where my 2 factor Auth app finally adds an arbitrary DM function no one wants

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck gets a new low-power screen-off downloads mode⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not the same unless something has recently changed. The scheduling just stops it from scheduling them during the day, it doesn’t make sure everything downloads in a single night.

  And even then, that’s not a “do all it right now” button

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck gets a new low-power screen-off downloads mode⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Now it would be nice if they could add a download all button (if only for Steamdeck)

  Going into that download screen and telling 20 games to download now before I’m going on a flight or something is a pain in the arse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DirecTV screensavers will show AI-generated ads with your face in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn you guys are sprinting towards cyberpunk dystopia over there aren’t you?

  Shame you won’t even get the cool aesthetic as a silver lining, just more tacky gold if anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RyzenZPilot - Intelligent Power Management for AMD Ryzen⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy shit who puts ads on a GitHub.io page?

  Was interested, but not with poor judgement like that on display

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky now platform of choice for science community⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My brain always processes upside down twitter logo as the sonic team logo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CATL announces sodium batteries that cost as little as $10/kWh, a massive price reduction compared to the current average of $115/kWh for lithium-ion batteries.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aren’t the current models only about half as dense as lithium Ion?

  Taking up twice the space for a tenth of the cost seems like a pretty acceptable trade-off for the house scenario

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LAPD Eyes ‘GeoSpy’, an AI Tool That Can Geolocate Photos in Seconds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Surely it would be better for the environment, at least, to hire one of those GeoGuessr guys

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go on the hunt for or a simple pilsner in a world full of craft beer in Dude, Where Is My Beer? A New Hop⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Love the art style of this

  Wishlisted

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The New Yorker Asks: Is the A.I. Boom Turning Into an A.I. Bubble?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been a bubble since GPT2 guys, get with the program.

  There is zero chance even half of all these AI product companies still exist in half a decade.

  Now if you don’t mind I reckon I’m gonna Alta Vista search for CDNow and then webvan something from pets.com

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High-severity WinRAR 0-day exploited for weeks by 2 groups⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe some of you finally paid for it, this wouldn’t happen!

  … Who is still using it in 2025, though, really?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iRobot’s future isn’t looking up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow, so somehow I’ve entirely missed Roborock’s existence until now—cheers for the recommendation!

  That one with the robotic arm on it is crazy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iRobot’s future isn’t looking up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not in the market for one today, but I’m probably getting a robovac or two in the next couple of years.

  Anyone have any recommendations for a good one that can be regarded as relatively trustworthy. I’ve got a home assistant setup already and don’t mind some minor mods/soldering, if that’s the best option, but off the shelf with no faff is obviously ideal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Encryption Made for Police and Military Radios May Be Easily Cracked⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I’m sure if you’re a criminal trying to access police radio and you figure it out, it’s not really in your interests to let everyone know about it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after it's debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda sad in a way

  Our first ISP was AOL back around 1995

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truth Social’s new AI search engine basically just pushes Fox News⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, perplexity wants their logo on this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One Third of the Web Will Stop Working in 4 Days: Massive-Scale CDN Compromise Starts Wednesday⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Blogs and misreporting research to drive clicks

  Name a more iconic combo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT dissidents, the students who refuse to use AI: ‘I couldn’t remember the last time I had written something by myself’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The standard degree course is 3-4 years

  I think this year’s intake will be the first where everyone at the uni will be post-chatgpt.

  Between the pandemic and LLMs, I honestly reckon my uni experience from the end of the 00s is completely alien to those doing it today

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI slop is ruining all of our favorite places to scroll⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developer of PlayStation 1 emulator DuckStation threatens "removing Linux support entirely" but not yet⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also a maintained fork called Swanstation that is related to the retroarch project

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Look Mum No Computer is a musical twin-stick shooter action-RPG that looks wild⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had no idea this was a thing!

  Big fan of LMNC, so I’ve already bought it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VMware reboots its partner program again – and it looks like smaller players are out⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And VMware goes for another rotation around the drain

  The fact they won’t sell you a perpetual licence for a hypervisor you run on your hardware, is possibly the most ridiculous subscription model I’ve seen so far
