China is spending a fraction of what US companies are burning through. Profitability will be a lot lower bar. Plus they’ve been investing in renewable energy to power it.

Just as soon as Ketamine Man gets his rockets to stop blowing up or looking like crispy critters when they ditch in the ocean.

With our current government, how do you trust either side of this discussion? Sure, I can see the DoE favoring big Republican donors that offer remediation technologies. But who can trust the Trump GAO?

Why does a vision of mobs with torches and bulldozers come to mind?

For years…every time I needed to configure a printer. Sometimes when I needed to find drivers for a wifi card. These days…it just works.

Someone should remind those soggy, arrogant execs that down here in the developer trenches we survived web services, software as a service, outsourcing, and off-shoring. We’re still here after all that and we’ll still be here after AI.

What kind of eleet haxor dude uses Windows?

Elite hacker uses…Windows. Come on, man.

Gotta tell you, it felt better than I expected. I was like, “Yeah! Suck it, Microsoft!” lol.

It really wasn’t that hard to see the SpaceX ipo was mostly a scam. And yet there are post after post of people losing their entire fortune, house, future after investing in this sow. Just blinding stupidity to invest in any company run by a ketamine addict who should be in prison over that DOGE bullshit.

The last straw for me was when Windows kept overwriting my boot loader. Fixed it by blowing away the Windows partition. Thanks for playing, we have a lovely parting gift for you!

Tax that dweed fuck so much he’s afraid to show his face in public.

That’s not totally fair to Cleveland. They terminated the contract, Flock just kept right on recording. The same thing happened in many other cities. When maintenance crews service the lights, they should remove the cameras. Keep them in storage until Flock comes to get them.

Ram prices. Those of us who saw it coming, apparently a number between 7% and 15%, bought a bridge PC before the price gouging started.

Same here. We not only got a rate increase notification but also “demand pricing”. Higher rates from 4 pm to 9 pm, which is a bigger hike than the rate increase. Once again undermining people with grid tie systems, which fall off after 4 pm. They’re diabolical. It may be a bit paranoid but my plan is to go solar and use the grid for backup power.

I started my battery installation months before electricity costs started escalating. Going to finish it up phase I this week. It’s not the kind that connects to the grid. Just don’t trust the electric company.

I sold my NASDAQ index fund. So glad the S&P passed.

This is not new. Went through the same thing when employers were offshoring development to low wage countries. Some people in the management chain were so up on that, they joked we were all going to get fired. But I had seen the code. It wasn’t long before they were coming to me to get it fixed because it was their ass if they couldn’t get it sorted. My superpower was untangling Bangalore Spaghetti Code.

It’s not just the screen, it’s complexity. Simplicity is your friend. And quit trying to make subscriptions happen, they’re not happening.

I have Ubuntu running with a sound bar and monitor that only pulls 40 watts. My processor is one of those vanilla box mini computers…GMKTech. I’m able to run it off a 1 kwh solar power station and it lasts a laughably long time. How much more efficiency do you need? I have fans that use more power than my desktop.
