Never mind their projections for the coming year say they can't keep up with demand.

The big question is not whether they've got bunch of real and potential orders right now. It's whether they're actually going to get paid for all those orders when all is said and done. (And a circular chain of IOUs doesn't count.)

Comment Which is why the stock is down (Score 1) 8

At this time, AMD stock is down about 1% after being up nearly 10% in overnight trading after they released their results.

I've said it before and I will say it again: If these companies were in any other industry, you wouldn't be able to buy their stock. They are printing money faster than the U.S. government.

Yet every time they announce record earnings, sometimes double what they did the previous year, morons sell because the end is nigh. Never mind their projections for the coming year say they can't keep up with demand. This time it truly is the top of the market.

Comment Re:Trump a "lame duck" president? (Score 1) 529

Those who believe a Democrat Congress (or the courts) will be able to significantly derail Trump agenda are naive.

Even more if you think they'll roll back the power grabs and demolishing of democratic institutions. Both parties like having unregulated power, just not in the hands of the other.

so they really and truly get a transformative benefit from these projects

Except that they don't. Data centers create a tiny number of jobs and not for the people who usually are looking for a job in rural communities, they don't draw in visitor, tourists or other kinds of customers for local business, they don't create any product that the community would benefit from - what benefit is he talking about, much less "transformative" ?

Submission + - One Drive Takes on New Meaning Microsoft Removes PC-to-PC Migration From Windows (ghacks.net)

joshuark writes: Arthur Kay reports that Microsoft has removed the PC-to-PC Migration feature from Windows 11, according to an updated Microsoft support page that now states the tool is no longer available.

The removal started with the September optional update (KB5124010) and reached regular users through the October 13, 2026 Patch Tuesday update, KB5127648.

PC-to-PC Migration arrived in 2025 as a modern replacement for Easy Transfer from the Windows 7 era. The feature moved files and settings directly between two PCs over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Users paired the old and new computer with a one-time code, picked the folders to copy, and Windows handled the rest.

Free OneDrive accounts include only 5GB of storage, and Microsoft's own promotional screenshot for Windows Backup shows 4.5GB of that allowance already in use. Years of photos, documents and downloads can exceed the free tier quickly.

Microsoft has not said whether a local migration option will return to Windows 11, and the support page offers no alternative beyond Windows Backup. There can be only one.

they "understand that Ms. Crump did not ask to become part of this investigation," and that they recognize the "frustration of having a vehicle towed and subsequently damaged."

So many words for "lol, yeah that's a them problem, we don't give a shit".

That this is even a matter for insurance is pathetic. The police caused this to happen, it needs to pay the bill, in full, including any costs the innocent person had for the time they kept the vehicle illegally.

Once cases like this drain the police budgets, they'll have an incentive to actually do a good job instead of fucking around and offloading the cost of their stupidity on ordinary people.

Comment Re:Laundry folding? (Score 1) 56

No, this is *exactly* the kind of thing I want AI to do. Clean my house. Straighten my house. Put things away. Fold clothes. Free up those hours so I can do something more fun, more interesting, or more productive.

Yes. But folding clothes is not high on that list. Of the entire wash cycle, that's literally the easiest part. Now if it could put together all the socks into matching pair and store them away, we might be talking.

People are going to want to buy this and keep using it for literal decades, because they'll see it as an appliance, not an electronic toy.

Other companies have moved us away from that model. It used to be that you buy a washing machine and you're done for most of your life. Ok, maybe you'll need a second one one day but that's about it. Not anymore. I'm on my third fridge since moving into this house a decade ago. They barely offer repairs anymore and it's often cheaper to buy new. It's ridiculous, really.
