They are useful for those people though. You can put a QR code or URL on your business card and it will give people all the information they need for your businessor something.

Thats is how Wikipedia has always operated. Wikipedia articles should be and mostly are entirely made up of information that comes from other sources. They are basically just fancy packaging that combines information from hundreds of sources into a single article thats easier to understand. And when all the people, whose job is researching genocide, agree that Israel is comitting one, then all the competent sources will themselves just echo that sentiment.

Clearly people dont seem to like my take and its sort of expected. I also despise the whole “just dont by those avocados if you cant afford them” thing that rich people loving pushing. But damn if it takes “months” to save up 280$ then you are basically living paycheck to paycheck. I feel like i would prefer having an extra 280$ of emergency savings in that situation rather than slightly fancier RAM sticks.

Obviously lots of assumptions there. Could just be a kid saving up pocket money. Could be someone that earns plenty of money and just decides to only spend a very limited amount on hobbies.

Sort of, but you dont want to combine two sticks with different timings or frequency. So you gotta buy the high end ones straight away or be forced to remove the cheap one when you add better ones.

Even ignoring the price hike, if you have to save for months to buy RAM, you should probably save it instead. Doesnt sound like a very smart financial decision to spend every last cent on your PC.

My toddler understands several words. I dont understand any of his babbling. He may be smarter than me.

You may be disappointed if you go looking for Google’s open Gemma AI model in AI Studio today.

Oh nooo, something i didnt even know existed and had no intention of using got removed. How horrible :o

The chart you added is missing amazon tho. Gotta update that thang.

I never said anything about complying with laws, people just interpreted it that way. Of course everyone will comply with local laws or secret government orders that come with threats of imprisonment. I dont know if Proton was required to log this data in the first place, but if they were then this specific situations is not their fault.

The issue with Proton isnt that they follow laws, but that they portray themselves like they are better or more private than others when they are just not. Bigger = worse in the tech world. Whenever too many people are using services of a single company, it becomes an attractive surveillance target.

What im also annoyed about is people being surprised by this and these headlines that make it look like its some sort of betrayal. You should always be worried about your privacy when you put data on a computer that isnt in your physical possession. Proton isnt trustworthy because nobody is trustworthy except yourself.

Oh ffs. We have known for years that Proton is just a for profit company like any other. They dont give a fuck about you or your privacy. They never have and they never will.

One of the best uses of this meme format to date

And there is some progress too afaik

If “video of someone roughly looking like you” is enough to completely reverse the burden of proof, then you can throw the whole justice system out of the window.

I would say a console killer has to outperform a current gen console. A Xbox Series X has a GPU equivalent to something between a 9060XT and a 9070XT. So yeah in total 1100€ is probably gonna get you something comparable.

Also: INDIE GAMES 🎉✨

Because getting your game published in Sonys or Microsofts store is horrible afaik.

Yeah no. If you want to gamble then go somewhere else. This is not the place for promoting unhealthy and addictive behaviours.

These days its like 1500. But you still get all the advantages like being able to do whatever you want with it like using productive software to actually do work. Streaming, editing, rendering, 3D modeling or printing, game dev, etc

Fight me.

No, you already have some strange inner demons you apparently need to fight.

This sounds like an effective plan to me. With enough numbers it will work eventually.

Its really not on that trajectory tho. Huge inflated numbers of nonfunctional physical qubits are just a way to get funding. Its like AI bros boasting about how much data their LLM model sucked in. The number of usable qubits hasnt changed at all basically. They are still in the stage of figuring out how it even works. Compared to traditional computers, they are at the stage of trying to invent the transistor. Yes in 20-30 years it will maybe be useful, but only if they dont hit physical limitations that prevent scaling. And then the question is FOR WHAT? Dead people cant make use of quantum computers and dead people is what we will be if we dont figure out solutions to some much more imminent, catastrophic problems in the next 10 years.
