It’s just an Android phone, so yeah, it’ll have Signal.

Surely you can say this about practically everything you put in a dishwasher.

Dishwashers aren’t really meant to be quick. They’re meant to be efficient and set/forget.

SK Hynix (and Samsung) is worse than Micron.

Micron scrapped Crucial, the consumer brand they owned.

SK Hynix and Samsung never even directly sold to consumers to begin with.

SK Hynix and Samsung were the ones who signed deals with OpenAI on the same day for 40% of the entire fucking planet’s DRAM supply that kicked off the DRAM panic buying to begin with! This mess is their fault!

Micron are absolutely shifting to more profitable HBM production in order to make the most of the AI bubble, and they’re fucking us over in doing so, but IMO what they’re doing pales in comparison to the levels of fuckery that SK/Samsung have done with the shady backroom OpenAI deals. I repeat… 40% of Earth’s RAM production.

It really angers me that those two have so far escaped media wrath while Micron was exclusively taking the hit for an entire shady industry. Blame all of these fuckers. Blame OpenAI. Blame Nvidia.

No, they aren’t Marxist-leninist.

There’s no overthrowing of capitalism. China is capitalist as fuck.

Socialism is not “when the government does things”.

China is not Marxist-leninist lmao. They have a market economy.

State capitalism is not the same as Marxism.

This.

I’m really tired of people letting perfect behaviour the enemy of good in every single online discussion.

I’m very well aware that parental controls aren’t a 100% foolproof protection for my daughters, but that certainly doesn’t make them useless.

Based on that mentality we may as well not ban murder, because some people break the law anyway. We may as well not have vaccines, because no vaccine is 100% effective for all people. It’s so brain-dead.

Which is now owned by Hyundai.

That pronunciation took off because Top Gear was going to record a segment about Dacia before they hit the UK market.

Top Gear did reach out to Dacia and ask how it was pronounced, but Dacia took so long replying to the email that by the time they did, Top Gear had already filmed it saying Day-see-er. It was too late.

And because of the enormous reach of Top Gear at the time, that pronunciation became solidified in people’s minds.

Or at least this was the story told by Richard Porter, the ex Top Gear producer, on his podcast.

Hey now, you’ve got to use something to download Firefox a Linux ISO on a brand new windows install.

Lenovo is about as good as you getting for a mainstream brand, and they are ultimately owned by the CCP so meh.

In addition to being owned by the CCP, they purposely installed rootkits on consumer hardware for intense data gathering, and it ended up getting compromised.

Switzerland

Adjusted for inflation some of them did.

Yeah I kind of roll my eyes at it, but I get it. People have to earn a living and feed themselves, and they can’t do that without clicks.

And really, pulling a dumb face on a thumbnail is a hell of a lot more ethical in terms of driving engagement than some headlines you see that are so misleading they may as well be outright lies.

I’m resisting my inner Lemmy user desire to shit on this for its thumbnail, but this is a great video, people should know about this. What Honey did is fucked up.

I’m so glad this was made illegal in the UK.

Question is, though, who now isn’t on your blacklist?

Samsung and SK Hynix never sold to consumers directly, yet seem to be avoiding flak. Micron is now joining them in that.

Who do you get that isn’t that three? Almost all RAM on the market is Samsung, SK Hynix, or Micron.

On top of that, Samsung and SK Hynix were the ones that signed the OpenAI deal (OpenAI bought 40% of the world’s DRAM supply and kicked off panic buying), so tbh Micron is the least responsible for the current DRAM market issues.

Love this.

The more I’m hearing about the Pebble Time 2, the more I’m liking it and looking forward to my delivery.

But fuck the 30 day warranty. Stuff sold in the UK is usually 6 years of cover (albeit only 5 for Scotland). 30 days is actually pathetic.

You’ve not heard of shady banking, Nazi gold, reluctance to stop dealing with Russia, women not being able to vote until the 70s, and Nestle?

Switzerland gets aggressively simped for online, and there’s certainly some nice things about them, but there’s also some pretty awful things.
