This is one of those rare comments that needs to end up with (-1, Funny)

Yeah sweet, fits great on all those 40 bit architectures or chunks nicely into four 10 bit chunks for all those 10 bit ones.......

I don't know in which country you live, but here I live, there is the freedom of speech as recorded in an apparently little-known law called ... The First Amendment.

As long as you're not libelous/slanderous/violating secret clearances or gag orders, you can post anything the F you want.

The article as about the United States Postal Service.

The last time they delivered anything to Germany was in 1945.

I'm sure that they'll enjoy their Russian made gear.

They never bought anything to start with. The U.S. is stil the largest, financial contributor to NATO.

In 2024, the U.S. spent $2,239 per capita. Spain $366. Portugal $360. Source.

Don't worry, they'll come back after finding out that they are not able to build their own.

At least I won't have to worry about getting arrested for an offensive tweet.

Oh come one.

Apple can change that on a whim. But, let's say for argument's sake that all of a sudden, Apple would be somehow prohibited from using ARM. Do you have any idea what it will mean to the European economy if U.S. tech exports to the EU are stopped?

Intel, AMD, Microsoft. Facebook, Instagram, Google, Youtube. All those companies that they EU likes to tax (oh, I'm sorry, "fine" for some sort of made up violation) but are highly dependent on.

And let's not even try to get started on "but but but but the EU has smart people to". Yes, you do. And the smartest ones are all moving to the U.S. because they're taxed to death in Europe. I know hundreds, if not thousands.

Signed,

A tech-tax refugee from Europe now living in the Bay Area. (and I would never even consider going back to that socialist hellhole) Downvote all you want.

I don't know about you, but I don't give a shit about who visits gay bars and who doesn't.

It's 2025. Being gay is okay.

Ozzy Osbourne will rise from the grave for you.

It's the generic all purpose business plan these days:

1. Announce in media you have signed up purchase order to buy a giant pile of nvidia jank.
2. ???
3. Profit!

Our network operations room has a debian 12 box with a pair of radeon cards that drives six 4k tv's and an ancient old 1080p monitor to display network graphs and video surveillance feeds. We run a different DPI on the 1080p one.

I don't recall it being hard to get running. The worst thing for us was figuring out the wacky KDE system of each permutation of monitors having it's own physical layout config. Drove us crazy as we got each additional TV connected.

There's always been a section of borderline mentally ill crazies on slashdot.

I wonder sometimes what sort of lives those guys ended up living from the mid 2000s that were posting the netcraft copypasta, enraged rants about open sores and Lunix etc.

Perhaps trolling a technical community was the least harmful thing they could have been doing with their unreleased anger.

Pretty well every major server vendor still uses VGA for the video output. A few months ago I built yet another rig for my lab desks with a multiport VGA / USB KVM and a pikvm because all the stuff that is important still uses VGA. Pretty sad really.

They should have changed it to an E as in their new defacto slogan, "Be Evil".
