If I recall, the hardware isn’t actually “bought”.

Altman just signed super-not-binding pinky promises with Hynix & Samsung that he’d mop up all of their DRAM inventory.

And now that data center buildouts are getting shitcanned, we’re seeing Micron stock tumble, because they threw it all away for that sweet, sweet AI payout.

Wasn’t r/all just Reddit’s “Ragebait Algorithm Central Hub”?

I get that we Fuck Spez and whatnot here… But this doesn’t seem terrible?

Park candy is the fancy stuff.

Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers.

The 3.5" floppy version for PC.

In a box, off the shelf at Kmart.

Squeenix is also big on that whole Playtron “crypto gaming OS”. They come right up on the homepage.

No surprises here.

I’ve been noticing a lot more definitely-AI-generated “blogposts” and full-on ads in my Mastodon hashtag feeds.

It’s a fairly new thing.

75% of the accounts I’ve had to ban in the roughly-two-years since I spun up my instance have been AI slopfaucets that popped up in the last 2 weeks.

Hey, you do you.

This sounds like the kind of stuff that breaks Steam Deck software after random system updates, though.

I wonder whose decision it was to make a bunch of former Titanfall 2 devs make yet another live service game.

Because that person probably put all of those TF2 devs out of a job.

I believe the last time I had to do a Windows re-install, I was nagged THREE times to enable OneDrive. Each time, the opt out button was increasingly difficult to locate, and the verbiage more & more resembling “you’re an idiot if you don’t enable this”.

Even after refusing to use it x3, once Windows was installed, OneDrive was still sitting down in the system tray, ready to fuck shit up.

Since I run in Game Mode, the reboot is pretty much baked into the update process.

Go to Settings. See update. Apply update. Reboot when it says it’s ready.

Aside from that, the PC just chills in Sleep when not being used.

It’s not Let’s Encrypt, but I’ve been happy with this Cloudflare-flavored ACME through Caddy.

I really only use it for my local-hosted stuff that I don’t expose to the web. So, when I’m at home, https://radarr/.[mydomain].com resolves to 192.168.1.145:7878. That sort of thing…

It could quite simply be that Sony already knew Bluepoint was on the chopping block when they made the request.

So they just brushed them off with a deflecting “nah, FromSoft doesn’t want to do that” response.

My Bazzite PC lives in a cabinet under my living room TV, next to my PS5.

I put it to sleep when not in use, so I can wake it with my 8bitdo controller.

It’s basically a second gaming console.

Seriously, we need to convince him that all of the AI companies are saying mean things about him. Then maybe we might be able to afford RAM.

I really like Audiobookshelf for audiobooks.

But it breaks my brain that it still hasn’t implemented some sort of automatic queueing of new podcast episodes. Every time you finish a podcast episode, you need to manually go into the app and find the next episode to play. Not ideal for when you’re driving…

Personally, my ISP (T-Mobile 5G) has CGNAT and blocks all incoming traffic. I can’t simply Wireguard into my network. Tailscale has been my intermediary to get remote access.

I guess it’s time to figure how how to host an alternative on a VPS (I see Headscale mentioned in these comments).

I knew WB’s HD-DVDs (remember those?) were a timebomb. I didn’t realize regular DVDs were, too.
