Comment Re:Memory prices (Score 1) 19

With the way memory prices have gone with this latest generation, I want the next gen of CPU's to have a memory interface that can support mulitple different types of memory.

EG, the boat doesn't have memory slots - it has a connector that allows you to connect memory slots of whatever type you want (DDR6, DDR5, DDR4, etc).

These damned memory sticks have gotten too expensive to replace every time I upgrade my CPU.

I wouldn't mind seeing GPU's with socketed VRAM either. Given how much of the price is tied to that it would be good to be able to reuse those components.

Submission + - The gamers taking on the industry to stop it switching off games (bbc.co.uk)

Alain Williams writes: Can a company take away something you've already paid for?

In the world of online video games, some already do. Publishers can decide to switch off a game's servers, often leaving it effectively unplayable.

Stop Killing Games, a growing consumer rights campaign started by American YouTuber Ross Scott in 2024, is challenging that practice.

In January, the group submitted a petition featuring nearly 1.3 million signatures to the European Commission, triggering a public hearing in the European Parliament in April. What began as an online campaign is now awaiting a decision from one of the EU's most powerful institutions.

Scott's campaign began following an announcement from the major studio Ubisoft, saying it would shut down the online-only racing game The Crew in 2024.

The French company said it was taking the game, which attracted more than 12 million players during its lifetime, offline, citing "upcoming server infrastructure and licensing constraints".

1. Factory reset restores default settings - it does NOT roll back system updates.

2. A Roku device not connected to the internet is going to be lacking its core functionality. If your goal is to use it as a dumb display, or to solely just a local media library (eg Jellyfin), then maybe, but 99% of all Roku users want to do more than that.

Submission + - Leaked Documents Show Cisco Systems' Relationship with Israeli Security State (dropsitenews.com)

Alain Williams writes: Internal documents show Cisco’s growing collaboration with the Israeli military over the course of the genocide in Gaza.
Cisco makes a point of publicly highlighting its commitment to corporate social responsibility, and building “an inclusive future for all” in the dozens of countries around the world in which it operates. Yet the company’s aggressive pursuit of contracts with the Israeli government and military—a small yet growing part of its global business—has led to accusations that behind this sunny facade the networking giant is profiting from genocide.

Actually, at the extreme scales, which is the total volume of the observable universe, the universe is quite homogeneous. As I recall, to the order of 1-in-10000 variance. This is why Inflationary cosmology was developed, to explain the distinct lack of lumpiness in the universe, which is what we would expect if the Big Bang alone were responsible.
