To be fair, the real metric that matters is MAU (and DAU, but it never seems to get published for Lemmy).

Good to see my 3080 still being able to hit 60+ FPS in all games at 1440. I probably won’t upgrade until the generation after the next one.

It’s too bad they don’t have a 1080 Ti in their benchmark list, I am curious to see how it performs. I bet it does OK in non-RT scenarios; relatively playable considering that the card was released 8 years ago.

I think it’s reasonable to speculate that additional tariffs will be implemented by the current US admin (I am assuming EU will be next).

Ah I see. Streaming in general tends to have subpar quality.

I have an HDD base NAS for my movie collection, so I recognize that currently HDDs do have a use case. I was thinking more about the future.

Wouldn’t have thought the failure rate would be as high as 60%.

To be fair, that’s mostly because Lemmy is pretty small with just 50K MAUs. It feels more like a large forum than a full on social network.

If Lemmy had 1 M MAUs, I think the instance culture would be a lot less noticeable (national instances notwithstanding).

It’s already in use. It’s a commenting system on some blogs/websites:

Lemmy and Mastodon.

You can definitely find solid content outside of tech and politics on Mastodon, although the scope tends to be more limited than what Twitter used to be (no idea what state it is now).

Need to check out BookWyrm.

I see. This wasn’t clear from the article.

The M5Stack Cardputer v1.1 is available for $29.90, including the Cardputer unit and an L-shaped 1.5mm hex key for M2 screws. For more technical details and documentation, visit the M5Stack Wiki.

The price is definitely nice. I do wonder what the use case is for such a device. There is no wireless connectivity (bluetooth, wifi) and there is no video out (DisplayPort, mini HDMI). A portable audio recorder? It has a mic and basic speakers and you can get the audio files via SD card slot.

What do you mean by pyramid scheme? I am curious.

I wonder what the base clock of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D will be.

It’s all about foldables.

I have yet to try a foldable phone (prices are too high for someone who hasn’t bough a flagship in 10 years); I do wonder whether this is really “the future of computing” so to speak.

Using a Yandex product is hardly better than using something from Google.

I am surprised they decided to fully exit SSDs. One would think that in the next ~10 years $/TB prices for NAND will reach HDD prices.

In general, there are a lot of drawbacks to HDDs, they are relatively large, you having moving parts and of course sequential/random speed is attrocious even compared to the most bottom of the barrel QLC SSDs.

This is not surprising at all.

I will add that in many countries, the MSRP’s are completely meaningless. Even if you account for taxes + import duties, you’ll still be paying a 5-10% premium (I am not talking about high end AIB variants).

The US made one is the real issue. 😆

People going through US immigration (I did this maybe ~20 years ago as a student) will just make a temp, low-use account or something similar.

Only read the abstract (Schmidt, the Google oligarch, is clearly unreliable), but this reads like AI doomer propaganda. It’s a propaganda technique to hype the dangers of AI in a bombastic manner in order to keep the grift going.
