I remember the stories my father told me of his early dev days… “so the mainframe we wrote the whole national social security system for had 8K of RAM”.

Just a few more billions guys, real close now! Maybe a few dozen more after that, but it’s really getting there!
Oh, look a squirrel!

There’s many new jobs opening in the AI sector, pedalling on dynamo bikes.

Their fucking calculator can’t even calculate. Big fucking whoop.

And people keep shovelling money in their bottomless maw. The world is mad.

Can’t really ignore advice from a “director of demand generation”.

Neo-it.

It’s the sound that you make when lifting something heavy. Nothing to do with naming.

But then won’t your rack look a bit empty?

It’s the thing that goes fwup!

Back when I used it for a couple years, maybe twenty years ago, it always felt a little broken in many ways. That was long before the whole snap mess. Anyway I never really thought of it as a quality product.

1080 will look a bit small on my screen, but if that’s what I have to put up with…

That’s when I build my current machine. Looks like upgrading is off the menu. Again.

Personally I didn’t even consider switching until I finally quit Destiny 2 for good. If the main game someone plays just doesn’t work, they’re not gonna switch.

I’ve been running Linux as my main system for about 30 yers. During that time I’ve had a Windows partition or disk, on and off purely to run steam. Having to wait an extra thirty seconds to run a game was never an issue. And I could still do my stuff in a comfortable environment (once you’ve gotten used to a Unix desktop, you’ll suffer so much in Windows).

Microsoft access

I wasn’t aware that thing still existed.

Some might think they do. But then very few programs respect the Windows standards, so…

The same reason everybody gives when dealing with pretty much anything: “I don’t want to learn something new”.

I’ve been running linux for decades and I only heard of it those past few months. But then I never used YouTube or social stuff much, maybe they communicate there.

I thought it was a pub.

Hyundai is a member, of course.

I meant without dedicated circuits, obviously. Can’t it be parallelised? Many cpus have a lot of relatively idle cores at a given time…

I remember that my 486 had trouble with mp3 files, but soon enough, I got a new machine with many more spare cycles.
