It does feels like we are all riding together on a burning chariot of doom to hell.

Edit: re-worded so it actually makes sense.

The idea sounds like GameSpy back in the day for multiplayer games.

She said the quiet part out loud with regards to universal healthcare - it makes it too easier for us plebs to change jobs.

Tying healthcare to a job takes away leverage and negotiating power from the employee.

The article states that the rumor would be Asus gets production lines up and running by end of Q2 of 2026 (typically that would be end of June for most companies).

They do have experience in manufacturing already and RAM isn't as difficult to produce as say 14nm cpus.

I do think it's an ambitious timeline though if the rumor is to be believed. The article does say to take it with a grain of salt.

After Gamer Nexus did their excellent piece on Asus and their frustrating RMA process I am wary of hardware from Asus, but beggars can't be choosers.

Especially after Micron's decision to pull from the consumer RAM market. We need companies to step up to the plate.

Thanks for the heads up. Good to know it's a bad faith actor behind the account.

I like to believe all the baby penguins dropped off the cliff in Mario 64 are the reason the penguins in the Madagascar movie have a military air about them.

They were the special ops team trained to take down the mustached maniac menace before getting captured enroute to the LZ.

How I know you didn't read the article or your reading comprehension is abysmal:

"DOGE failed to cut spending because most federal spending was for entitlement programs, where spending remains high due to structural reasons and policy autopilot,” CATO’s analysis continued. “Congress alone has the authority to cut these programs, so it’s unsurprising that DOGE did not reduce spending.”

[–] ITeeTechMonkey@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (8 children)

The article doesn't say DOGE is the cause of the increase of spending. It states that the purpose of DOGE was to reduce waste and cut spending, but federal government spending has gone up in 2025 from 2024.

This article is stating the obvious, to those who didn't buy the lies Trump and Musk were selling, but backed up the assertion with financial data.

I don't know enough about Qualcomm to determine if they will be good arbiters of RISC-V, but it is exciting to see a major player like Qualcomm make moves to embrace RISC-V.

Hopefully this isn't a way for Qualcomm to simply squash their competition by acquiring them and letting the company languish.

*Edited: Forgot to add the storage.

 

I recently stayed in an apartment that didnt have central air so I created a corsi-rosenthal box since the smoke from the Canadian wildfires were so bad.

After 30 days of continuous use, with very minimal periods of it being turned off, this is what the filters look like!

It's disgusting yet also so satisfying to see the filters get darker from debris, dust, and dirt.

March 4 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Monday heavily trimmed an antitrust lawsuit that accused Amazon.com (AMZN.O), and others of causing consumers to overpay for eBooks.
