Noting the phrase’s ubiquity as an answer to almost every uncomfortable societal question, sources confirmed Monday that the full range of objectionable human behavior was explained to local toddler Oliver Jordan as a person acting silly. “Everything from mental illness to public drunkenness to a screaming match is waved away as someone just being a silly goose,” said observers, confirming that the same label was conferred on strangers, peers, and family members engaging in any remotely questionable activities.

I'm inconsolable over the fact that somebody managed to get me excited about an RGB fan

A spectacle – but in the best sense of the word. The FD Momentum 14 RGB are illuminated fans made from LCP, which is a rarity in itself. And when you factor in the white finish, you’re looking at something truly unique. But also practical—light reflects better off a white impeller (compared to “dark” competitors), and we haven’t even mentioned the main highlight yet: an efficient geometry that contributes to what are essentially unparalleled results.

With the entire evening now threatened by extremists, a lack of concrete dinner plans Friday left a power vacuum reportedly filled by radical pro-Tapas fanatics. “Without strong leadership deciding where to eat, those individuals pushing a rabid small plates agenda have taken on a troubling amount of sway,” said analyst Kirk Parry, confirming that the chaos began when the group discovered that the pizzeria they’d planned to attend was closed, leading to a troubling rise in the influence of those pushing to try a new Mediterranean place.

I liked this (older) overview article for more context on DDR6/LPDDR6: https://hothardware.com/news/jedec-ddr6-lpddr6-revealed

Especially:

[...] Where DDR4 memory officially topped out around 4266 MT/s and the fastest LPDDR5X available is around 10 Gbps, LPDDR6 is going to start with a 10.667 Gbps per-pin data rate, and is expected to scale to 14.4 Gbps.

Okay, starting out where we are now might not sound that impressive, but keep in mind that typically a new memory technology actually starts well behind the fastest memory speeds of the current tech. The earliest DDR3 memory supported 800 MT/s transfer rates, while DDR2 memory available for enthusiasts was clocked at 1333 and even 1600. Similarly, when DDR4 debuted it was the sluggish DDR4-1866, while DDR3 had been hitting 2133, 2400, and even higher speeds for some time.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited President Trump at the White House today and gifted him the remains of an infant killed by American bombs in Gaza, multiple sources confirmed.

“America is the best friend Israel could ever ask for. To show my appreciation I brought him a fruit basket with Israel’s most delicious offerings, and an unidentified corpse of a future Hamas terrorist that we were able to eradicate because the American taxpayers have been so generous to our cause,” said Netanyahu while trying to wash the blood from his hands. “Traditionally, we would have just thrown this body in an unmarked mass grave, but I wanted President Trump to see that his support is not going to waste. Hopefully I’ll be able to bring him more exploded children next time, there are certainly plenty of them to choose from.”

President Trump spoke about his fondness for the gift and the relationship with Israel going forward. [...]

Realizing that every uterus had already been conquered, Tesla CEO Elon Musk reportedly wept Wednesday, for there were no more women for him to impregnate. “I have sown the many fields with my seed and reaped a bountiful harvest, yet now there are no new vessels to bear my fruit,” said Musk, who gazed through tears upon his infinite legion of mothers, expectant and otherwise, as he lamented the limits of his fecundity, having laid claim to every womb on Earth.

Following Linda Yaccarino’s departure as CEO of X this morning, Elon Musk wasted no time holding a press conference to announce her successor: a ouija board with a direct supernatural connection to the ghost of Adolf Hitler.

“This ouija board was Linda’s natural successor!” Musk yelled into the microphone, brandishing the board above his head with the enthusiasm of a hyperactive toddler at Christmas. “Finally, my company will be run by someone who understands what we at X are trying to do: champion anti-semitism and spread Nazi ideology with seemingly zero repercussions.”

Musk took a moment to passionately kiss the ouija board before adding, “I speak to Adolf every morning now, and he’s got some great ideas for what we should do with X moving forward. I particularly liked his idea to make a new Swastika checkmark if you qualify as a member of what he calls the ‘Master Race’.” [...]

Insurance manager Percy Gotell says he’s found a cure to the male loneliness epidemic. The social phenomenon was named when mental health experts noticed rising levels of loneliness, linked to factors like lack of social circles, difficulties in forming close friendships, and societal pressures around traditional concepts of masculinity. Gotell fights this epidemic by forcing his employees to join several Microsoft Teams meetings during the work week. [...]

We join Der8auer to make Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal in a factory in Germany. This low-volume, high-precision factory near Berlin is focused on manufacturing thermal paste, liquid metal, and CNC products like water blocks and fittings. Roman "Der8auer" Hartung shows us the processes for making liquid metal in this special video, following-up our previous video seeing how thermal paste is made. These processes involve chemistry, mechanics, manufacturing, scanning electron microscopes for R&D, and more.

I've come across this utility before - using it seems to add input latency according to the reviews it has on Steam. So using it to increase performance isn't really better than not using it, it's just a tradeoff.

If you're not sensitive to input latency then that's likely going to be a good tradeoff for you, but if you are (or play competitively) it's not.

I'm not sure it qualifies as "reverse review bombing" if the recent review +/- percentage matches the all-time percentage. There's just more reviews because of the shutdown, the ratio of positive vs negative hasn't meaningfully changed (97% positive overall, 97% positive recently).

They were careful with how they phrased it, leaving the possibility of a refresh without a performance uplift still on the table (as speculated by media). It looks like the OLED model's core performance will be only marginally better due to faster RAM, but that the APU itself is the same thing with a process node shrink (which improves efficiency a little).


See also: PCGamer article about an OLED version. They didn't say "no", and (just like with the previously linked article), media again speculated about a refresh happening.

It looks like they were consistent with what they were talking about with how it wasn't simple to just drop in a new screen and leave everything else as-is, and used that opportunity to upgrade basically everything a little bit while they were tinkering with the screen upgrade.

Yes, though just nitro basic. Discord doesn't show ads and claims to not sell my data. While I can afford to do so, I'd much rather pay a few bucks a month to keep it that way.

The number of people in this thread aggressively against a free-to-use service having any kind of way to pay employees and server bills makes me fucking depressed, and helps to explain why most free services I enjoy never seem to stay afloat with just an optional payment-based membership thing.

Edit: To people suggesting less corporate-based (whether FOSS or not) alternatives, that's totally cool! Just remember that the people behind these projects need some way to pay the bills the same way the corporate ones do, so I encourage you to contribute to them, whether that's through e.g., code improvements (which doesn't pay bills but is still helpful!) or plain old donations.

UPDATE: the shutdown has been (for now) retracted.

The admin (jerry) has switched from kbin to a fork called mbin that has apparently been able to integrate changes faster than the base kbin project. Jerry seems satisfied with the number of issues fixed in the fork (for now), so has retracted the shutdown announcement (for now).

FEDIA.IO update!!!

After I made the announcement about shutting down fedia.io, someone pointed out that Melroy, a very active developer on kbin, forked kbin to mbin. I just migrated to mbin and so far it seems to have resolved all the problems I've seen. It's likely too early to tell, but I think that Melroy is VERY responsive and helpful, so I am retracting my shutdown announcement. And that makes me very happy.

Followup: https://fedia.io/m/fedia/t/350673 tl;dr retraction has become more concrete. No need for the "for now" qualifier anymore.
