computers: 😁
also computers: 😖

such a ridiculously bloated OS
whaddya mean going below like 50 background processes will usually completely break the PC? And even 70-something will put me on thin ice? What the heck is it doing?!?! My Win8.1 benching image has like 30-something background processes and its barely stripped!

That Zalman cooler is preeem

At least the transfer speeds are off to a good start, copying lots of small files can be such a nightmare as overhead ruins throughput

Oh God yeah that makes it less funny, poor dude being stuck in that position with a bunch of scammers

Lmaooo is that the one where the corrupt coach came up with the brilliant plan to stack the team entirely with people who were NOT disabled and uuh just lie about it

throwing on a pair of these for vidyagaming and scaring myself bc the soundstage is so wide everything sounds like it's happening in real life

listening to audio with open-back headphones: "I am vividly hallucinating"

would you say you're in the vicinity of the mart?

Debate culture is terrible for humanity.

Have conversations. TALK to people you disagree with. But a debate is specifically not that. It's a fight. It's salesmanship of ideas, not "valuing" those ideas. Boxers do not stop mid fight and say the other person might be right and neither do debaters.

"AI generates the descriptions" is *dire* news, that made OfferUp unusable and is polluting Marketplace. Sad (not surprised) to hear eBay is on it.
I suppose they called it a "4800" bc that was the fastest non-FX 939 A64x2? (iirc) Go big with the lie I guess.

I was almost ready to think it could be a typo (and lack of proofreading diligence) but nah they typed out the whole wrong model number, that's malice. Do they think buyers aren't looking at the photos?

Look, "clankers" is fine. It works. But "toasters" was RIGHT THERE and some of us have been saying it since GWB was president

Starbuck / Kara Thrace from Battlestar Galactica, pointing a gun at some adversary off-screen, with the caption "FRACKING TOASTERS"

you, new to this "robophobia" thing: damn clankers!

me, has been preparing for this since I was a teenager:

the pivot to performatively-"healthy" food and alternative medicine becoming a right-wing thing is so jarring after watching the right mock those things for years, what is even going on

Here's to hoping!
I'm pretty satisfied with PT performance on 9070XT but there's denoising issues sometimes. Ray Regen in future patch, plox

the Windows built-in archive extractor is a cynical joke, 7z / WinZ forevah

that one Steven Universe meme where Garnett is like "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy, Steven" except Garnett's speech bubble is redacted and Steven replies "understandable"

I'm sure the rest of those companies could reach such numbers too if the only people they counted as "employees" were a handful of c-suite suits ☕😔

Yah I was gonna say... the people who are generating the actual value for OF are *famously* not counted as employees by OF management

"in 1979, Casio made a calculator that doubled as a cigarette lighter, a.k.a. the 'calculighter'." It's a boxy silver calculator with a lighter built in

I found the Boomer version of this

the level of technology Zoomers are on is absolutely incredible, my coworker just made a phone call with my other coworkers vape

deterrent policy of "mutually suggested destruction" 🤣

This is such a a good tip, I only learned it a couple years ago (from a meme!) and it's hella useful when 3DMark crashes and I have to eradicate the cockroach that is Futuremark Systeminfo so hardware detection works when I relaunch the benchmark

I like that the in-universe reasoning for lasers being useless against shields is "if someone shoots a laser at a shield it results in a gigantic nuclear detonation and everyone fucking dies"
Frank Herbert *really* wanted swordfights and poison darts in his scifi

wow he predicted Hardware Accelerated Graphics Scheduling years before it was implemented in Windows!
