  Can confirm, I’m running 3x 4K monitors with Ryzen 9900X easily. I’m not into gaming, though.

  The reason is probably that they warned them, though I don’t see how is cloudflare responsible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japanese court orders Cloudflare to pay $3.2 million over manga piracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed. This this truly a WTF issue. And it gets even worse when you are not from US, like EU.

  Making manga more accessible wouldn’t hurt, though.

  My biggest grip with Tidal is that their catalogue is a mess - albums from same named artists grouped together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Try Tidal. At least it pays artists more and has better sound quality. Allegedly. The downside is that their catalogue is more messed up like albums from different same named artists grouped together.

  I would be surprised if Western countries aren’t interested.

  That’s the usual excuse, but at what price? 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky now platform of choice for science community⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But why? Of all people I’d expect scientists to have learned the lesson of Twitter and embrace fediverse 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China is about to launch SSDs so small you insert them like a SIM card⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  SSDs have controllers that help mitigating storage issues whereas SD cards are dumb.

  Fingers crossed for RISC-V to evolve quickly to at least a decent alternative to current laptop/desktop CPUs.
