Actually

Datacentres buying 70% of the world's DRAM supply, only to not be able to power even HALF if it is a far greater waste than me making use of it in my gaming desktop and servers.

Fuck you Altman, you insufferable prick.

[Pubity @pubity]

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead.

"From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

Insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result.

don't wanna be insane?

Don't vote for Labour, conservative, or EVEN REFORM

why reform?

They're full of tories. The same tories that started this rapid decline of our society.

Restore are the safer bets to prevent economic destruction through continuing to allow the rampant corruption of our entire political establishment.

Say what you will of the migration policies.

The fiscal are so solid that Reform and the tories keep stealing them.

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

@MarcosBTCreal @WatcherGuru Probably round 2 of anti-trust and collusion lawsuits for colluding to price fix the DRAM Markets in tandem with SK Hynix and Samsung is my guess...

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

Can't do remote start with the manual transmission vehicles though because apparently having a neutral safety isn't sufficient to stop a car jolting forward in gear lmfao

The upshot though is Ford holds a patent for heated windscreens.

The transit I drive at work has one. it'll go from iced over to cleared in about 5 minutes.

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

I do just fine with my car.

The AC works, so if I have to de-fog the windows after taking my window covers off, I just set it to full blast with cabin re-circ on and with my visors down.

Wiping the window with a rag gets the majority of the condensation off

and the rest doesn't form again because the AC dehumidifies the cabin enough that it can't form again.

Car ends up drivable in 2 minutes flat.

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

If we're so energy secure, how come we have TWICE this year had to have France exporting to us to prevent blackouts?

Why is it that on low wind days during the winter, we're relying on almost 80% Of our energy to come from CGGTs?

oh wait... IT COULDN'T BE THAT RENEWABLES ARE NOT A FUCKING BASELOAD ENERGY SOURCE, COULD IT!?

The only one that can be considered such is nuclear

and while I won't blame this labour government in its entirety... WHERE ARE THE NEW NUCLEAR PLANTS!?

Sizewell C is not enough new baseload.

We need more.

and we need them online as fast as possible.

We should have been building additional plants north of a decade ago, but every single successive government decided to uhm and aah about it, even preventing new builds because apparently splitting an atom in a controlled environment to generate electricity is so deadly that it would blow half of Yorkshire up if we dared to do so, even following our own regulations, which PREVENT that scenario from even beginning to happen!

ALL HAIL THE ATOM FOR IT DOESN'T GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT A LACK OF WIND OR THE POSITION OF A GIGANTIC BALL OF PLASMA IN SPACE TO DO ITS JOB!!!

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

For now.

just need to get Reform's leadership to stop being so damn childish and accept that without cooperating with Restore, they and we are fucked if we think we're beating Labour's tactical and family voting drives.

we have to prove a major majority to prevent their attempts to bias the polls from succeeding.

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

@GlobalPrison @GBNEWS At the very least the police would be *very* interested in that one lmfao

they love it when people start doing research into things that cause dissent against their own ideology (aka: THE TRUTH)

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

If Zia Yusuf and the rest of the tories that HELPED TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY WHEN THEY HAD THE POWER TO REVERSE THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT'S FUCKUPS weren't actively joining Reform

I'd be a reform member.

I'm a restore member, however, because unlike some, I REFUSE to let those corrupt, inept, spineless bastards do it all over again.

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

@karlrgibson1 @CutMyTaxUK They were gonna do that anyway.

they love their corporations.

The rest of us schmucks will just have to "own nothing and be happy", as Klaus Schwab put it.

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

@headinajaro @Landeur This is why in a way I'm glad the UK government is scaring AI companies off by taxing them way beyond any logical reason.

They should never be afforded even a trillionth of the possibility of using that tech to surveil and censor us. They're bad enough without it!

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

@macropaperr Totally wasn't a bubble guys! no circular economy in this market!! :) We don't know what you're talking about! no, the room is not on fire, it's just the Northern lights!!!

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

@ClydeDoSomethin Only if it suits a narrative.

The illegals still get a maximum of 2 years suspended otherwise.

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

We already have a cap.

OFGEM sets one on our energy bills based on current market rates, which is why there's such a tiny variation in the pricing you get from every supplier.

they all charge at or damn close to the price cap. there's little to no incentive to charge less, because nobody can charge more, and they're all gonna end up with your money anyways as a result seeing as energy is a critical asset that we all *cannot* live without.

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

@Collectors_Way @Pipestrangs666 @MarmiteIPA @ju25378 OR

It'll end up being paid off by us regardless.

As happens *EVERY* Time tax hikes occur.

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

They won't.

GB202 is now exclusive to the RTX pro.
GB204 likely won't be far behind if this trend continues

All because they "Make a lot more money" rotting away unused in a half-built datacenter that would consume 2.5x the grid supply if they attempted to power the entire thing up.

Even if they did, it'd be disgustingly overpriced and offer no additional performance over what NV offered earlier in the RTX 5000 generation.

OI BURNHAM

WE WANT OUR FUCKING TAX MONEY BACK.

[Felicity Campbell @feli_campbell]

When I posted yesterday about Andy Burnham’s political machine secretly intercepting public emails to protect his Abu Dhabi property deals, my inbox was flooded by people thanking me for finally calling out what goes on in Manchester.

Well, I woke up this morning and looked at the latest financial disclosures coming out of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, and the rabbit hole just got so much darker.

Burnham's authority has been caught funnelling nearly £1,000,000 of taxpayer money to completely anonymous beneficiaries in a series of secret payments.

They paid out £83,000 in rent to a hidden landlord. They handed out thousands in anonymous "consultancy fees." Worst of all, they gave a £210,000 capital grant to a property developer and completely redacted the name from the public ledger.

When journalists finally confronted them, the authority claimed hiding the £210,000 developer payout was just a "human error" and blamed the rest of the secrecy on data protection laws.

Look at the terrifying double standard at play here.

If a working citizen misfiles a tax return by fifty pounds or makes a mistake on a local form, the state will investigate their entire life, apply ruthless penalty fines, and threaten them with court.

But when Burnham's regional authority hands a fifth of a million pounds of public cash to an anonymous property developer, they simply shrug and call it a clerical typo.

This is exactly how the modern British political cartel operates. They use the language of bureaucracy and data protection as a legal shield to funnel public wealth to private, hidden corporate interests.

I am sorry, but they are not governing a city. They are running a shadow ledger with your money, and they are terrified of the public finding out who is actually cashing the checks.

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

@ElderKnighte @loneelmcapital (btw; I run all AMD for my systems, so it's not like I'm slagging them off for the sake of slagging them off.

the hardware's damn near perfect.

THE MANAGEMENT NEEDS A KICK IN THE ASS THOUGH!!!)

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

ha! like they'll even try.

AMD never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

The sheer number of times they could have yoinked a massive portion of the consumer graphics market and *didn't* is enough to leave the average sane person slamming their head eternally against a brick wall.

They see NVidia fuck up a GPU launch

then proceed to fuck their own up by jebaiting us, or thinking they can get away with pricing their cards marginally below the equivalent spec NVidia RTX parts.

they almost won some market share with the 9070 and XT

Then told us the $600 price tag for the XT was rebate pricing and therefore temporary.

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

Depends.

The stocks of the main seven firms in the AI boom are grossly over-valued considering they're all just shuffling the same few billion between each other. there's not actually much if any new money entering the companies themselves, which is *exactly* how the dotcom boom started.

If you have holdings, keep that trigger finger held firmly over "SELL" because holding on for dear life will be unfathomably stupid when this bubble inevitably pops.

[iDingus™ @DigBipper188]

@___TJB__ this is similar to what I do to my cats lmfao

although I have to be quite careful because I tend to get Loki the most... and he has mittens that could murder a moose.
