Comment Re:A troubling trend. (Score 2) 71

I've bought Crucial upgrades for the last few laptops I've owned, both RAM and SSDs.

I used to joke around about how the AI companies wouldn't be satisfied until all resources on the planet were directly routed to them and everything else was eroding because of it. Now? Now, it's not seeming so much like a joke.

Crucial was always my go-to for RAM upgrades. I'm getting my son some upgrades for Christmas, and when I saw desktop memory prices, I was stunned. It's the same thing everywhere. "AI vendors are grabbing all the RAM they can get their hands on, dramatically driving up the price".

I really don't want this "feature". What I want is for existing features to work correctly.

For example, automated subtitling. For some reason the subtitles sometimes just stop coming for a while, then you get half a minute's subtitles all at once so you have to pause to read them. I've been watching foreign content lately and I depend on this functionality to understand what's happening, and it often just doesn't work right.

If Google could just pull their head out of their ass long enough to make their service work correctly and wouldn't bundle shit I don't want with it and overcharge, I would pay for a subscription to Youtube. But I absolutely will not give them money while they are proving that they don't give a single solitary fuck about their software actually working.

Yep, I had writeups from those flame wars. They *REALLY* did not want it discussed. Governors Brown and Kotek continued the pay-to-play system, which is what lost Oregon the Ohio CHIPs foundry campus (before they realized that Biden wasn't going to pay out CHIPs act at all).

"What if you got professional help and got over your paranoid delusions that Trump is going to do anything besides enforce existing laws"

What if you shut your fucking traitor face? Trump is ignoring multiple court decisions right now, the idea that he is enforcing laws is probably the dumbest bullshit you've ever spread, and you're a spectacular idiot all day.

Trump doesn't have the will to deploy military strength.

Syria says "Hi".

 

His actions so far have been performance theater (ie, pick on small countries in hopes that Russia and China will be afraid).

We're the United States. The world's most powerful country. Outside of Russia and China, all countries are "small".

And Russia and China... they have nukes. Attacking them means WWIII. If you think this is a good idea, by all means, run for President on your End Humanity platform.

Really? A Nazi hellscape is pretty damn close to a Stalinist hellscape is pretty damn close to a North Korean hellscape is pretty damn close to a Pol Pot hellscape. The first of those is right wing. The rest are left wing.

We know the dog was unleashed, hence the fault is completely with the owner of the dog who didn't take care of them.

False. That's not how anything works. You might have been ok there if instead of "completely" you used the word "most of" a little to the left of there.

And the owner should be fined $500 as well since San Francisco as strict dog leashing laws.

This part is correct.

Taken to it's logical conclusion, we should have walls around the beach because someone might walk into the ocean and drown.

We often do have fences around the beach, especially in areas frequented by a lot of people. They can slow down a child enough for an attentive parent to notice and maybe catch up before they enter the surf or fall off a cliff.

As far as trying to drag this argument into the COVID vaccines, that sounds like a horrific weak-ass excuse to dismiss the problems that have risen from those particular emergency-authorized solutions.

What problems? You mean the ones that are way less risky than unvaccinated exposure? Whatever, antivaxxer.
