If I was a NVDA investor, I’d be worried. This clown is doing nothing but gaslighting and lying these days.

That’s news to me. Every time to vendor tries to get me to switch to their cloud product I tell them to get lost. I’m not willingly handing over patient data to these clowns, I’ve seen how bad they are at security.

There’s lots to criticize Apple for but they do support their hardware for several years, not one or two.

They want to move fast and break things but they still want a few meat bags around to blame when things inevitable blow up in their faces.

The problem, as always, seem to be human to me

That says more about you than about the topic under discussion.

In a sane universe people would be on trial for unleashing this shit on society.

It reminds me of the documentary Hypernormalisation, well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.

“The word hypernormalisation was coined by Alexei Yurchak, a professor of anthropology who was born in Leningrad and later went to teach at the University of California, Berkeley. He introduced the word in his book Everything Was Forever, Until It Was No More: The Last Soviet Generation (2006), which describes paradoxes of Soviet life during the 1970s and 1980s. He says everyone in the Soviet Union knew the system was failing, but no one could imagine any alternative to the status quo, and politicians and citizens alike were resigned to maintaining the pretense of a functioning society. Over time, the mass delusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy, with everyone accepting it as the new norm rather than pretend, an effect Yurchak termed hypernormalisation”

I’d love to see the numbers for computers with it immediately uninstalled.

Step 1: Start with lots of money

Step 2: Find a bunch of other rich idiots willing to invest their money.

Maybe build something useful that solves a real problem?

That’s the problem. For now at least, we’re at the end of “new tech make line go up”. Crypto wasn’t it, neither were NFTs, LLMs are no different. All the low hanging fruit was picked a while back so they’re stuck trying to make us believe that there’s a Next Big Thing just around the corner when, at best, there’s some fairly niche and difficult to monetize tech requiring vast resources to work.

Corrected, thanks!

We even have small nuclear reactors that can use spent fuel from the larger ones, thus solving in part the disposal of it.

Do we? Last I heard there aren’t any in service.

Furthermore, significant advances have been achieved on fision power.

We’ll need a hell of a lot more advances before fusion is even close to powering a grid.

The C suite and management of these companies want two things - for the stock to go as high as possible, and for them to be able to sell at the top and leave a bunch of bag holders wondering what the fuck just happened.

Hmm, the only barrier to upgrading was that the i5 processor wasn’t supported, no complaints about TPM/motherboard compatibility and a fresh install worked fine on the exact same hardware. Oh well, it’s done anyway.

I just went for a new installation. Why would that work? Just curious.

Thank you for this. I already did a fresh install but it’s interesting that your link is to the Surface subreddit just to rub some more salt in the wound. The processor is officially supported for upgrades only if it’s in Microsoft’s hardware. I hate them so much.

I detest this company for many reasons, it’s like they go out of their way to make dealing with them as painful as possible.

Here’s just one example I discovered today. I have a Windows 10 VM I needed to upgrade to 11 but the “PC Health Check” app says no, the i5 processor isn’t supported.

I can, however, create a new VM and install 11 on the exact same hardware, so that’s what I did, along with a whole bunch of extra work to get the new VM set up the same as the old Windows 10 VM was.

Why? Because fuck you, that’s why.

Assholes.
