Comment Re:Was there a shortage? (Score 1, Flamebait) 83

I don't understand how decreasing import to the USA has increased buying in Europe. Was there a shortage and more was going to the US? Did they reduce prices in Europe? The article says "redirected a tsunami of cheap stuff into Europe", so I don't quite understand how the tariff in the US has increased buying in Europe.

- Import from China
- Slap "made in EU" label
- Sell it to the USA
- Profit

Submission + - The Escalating AI Chip War: Hyperscalers Mount a Challenge to Nvidia's Crown (buysellram.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Google is making its proprietary TPUs (Ironwood) available to Meta, directly challenging Nvidia’s 90% dominance. The massive cost of AI compute is forcing tech giants to turn from Nvidia's biggest customers into its fiercest competitors. This strategic shift will wipe out $150B in market value and signals the end of a near-unbreakable monopoly. Can Nvidia's software moat (CUDA) hold up against the combined might of hyperscalers?

Submission + - Applets Are Officially Gone, But Java In The Browser Is Better Than Ever (frequal.com)

AirHog writes: (From the full story at https://frequal.com/java/Apple...)

Applets are officially, completely removed from Java 26, coming in March of 2026. This brings to an official end the era of applets, which began in 1996. However, for years it has been possible to build modern, interactive web pages in Java without needing applets or plugins. TeaVM (https://teavm.org) provides fast, performant, and lightweight tooling to transpile Java to run natively in the browser. And for a full front-end toolkit with templates, routing, components, and more, Flavour (https://flavour.sf.net) lets you build your modern single-page app using 100% Java.

there's no way you could catch up to China's advancements and cost.

Why is it always the case that China is always ready to catch up to and surpass us, but there is "no way" we could catch up to China if they do?

China is copying and improving on everyone else tech while US is stuck in the patent/copyright fuck up

Comment Re:SecureBoot (and TPM 2.0) has(have) been mandato (Score 1) 60

What I find amusing is that I enabled TPM 2.0 in my BIOS and even though Windows 11 knows this, the beta still doesn't seem to recognize it.

It will be a cold day in hell before I reinstall Windows 11 just to play a game demo.

As some who had to install windows 11 from scratch in a laptop for the first time, I hope no one have to do it. It's more than just painful since the OS doesn't come with basic Intel storage drivers included and it's a massive PITA to make an image with it if you don't have an alternate windows install to do so (and even with windows 10, I had to resort to linux to get a working boot image)

This is why people should practice "device segregation" if they can afford to do so.

It means you have one computer that you use for online banking, investing, and tax filing.

A separate computer is for gaming, shopping, and browsing online.

If you're doing that, don't go shopping together with gaming or they might grab your credit card number

Comment Re:Amazon Echo too. (Score 1) 249

Amazon Echo became progressively worse in the past few years and it is barely usable even as a voice controlled light switch anymore.

Got a new one from my company as a gift, the thing turns itself off by itself and it takes literally hours off the charger to get it back online. Asked it to find updates, not deal. Had to return it and didn't hear anything back

Comment Re:Woke game with masculine GIRL-BOSS. BOYCOTT it. (Score 1) 49

Ofc there are always differences of opinion (and the game have some 36 different endings) but after the end in the Blood & Wine expansion most in the community was convinced back in 2016 that the next game would be focused on Ciri and that Geralt would be retired at the Corvo Bianco vineyard together with Jennifer. He was constantly complaining that he was too old and tired of the Witcher life.

I don't have mod points but this basically nails it, mod parent up

Comment Re:Google Pot Calling the Microsoft Kettle Black? (Score 1) 17

"Firms that compete with Microsoft in renting out cloud servers, including Google and Amazon, want to host OpenAI's artificial intelligence themselves so their cloud customers don't need to also tap Microsoft servers to get access to the startup's technology, this person said."

Remind me again: How does Google let one host Google Search, Gmail, and Docs on Azure and AWS servers?

And while at it, let me run PowerBI on premises o the same price tag Azure licenses it.. oh, wait
