My computer will become Google with this speed.

I remember buying an eMachine on credit. It used crazy expensive RDRAM

Great idea 👍. Wonder how the cost element will be handled?

They have derivatives of certain chips for the Chinese market only. They must have clauses to pre-empt such actions.

For what? Usenet was something I used over 10 years ago and used NZBDaddy. Was about $1 to sign up. VPN and Torrents or using a Seedbox is current gen.

And exports from non US, or Taiwan Semi Conductors to the OEMs. Surely they have no jurisdiction, and contracts and purchase orders are probably in place until next gen 50x cards. It’s just a knee jerked reaction of being outdone. There will be no impact outside the gamer sat in second fiddle to the NSA getting first dibs. US market only.

It says London. Odd it’s in Cyrillic script.

Handcuffs first date, I’m out

Can someone summarise the story. God damn that was a long read and lost interest. What I gathered, Jimmy claimed a robbery of his bitcoins, who then transpired to be the robber?

Zero use case. Nostalgia is reliving youth, not re-engineering it to be modern variant.

As a premium subscriber for many years, I and my family really get value. I do pay in UAH though.

Chrome does have a use, namely Selenium and automation.

I’m guilty of having Chrome on my PC, as I need to nerf over my favourites to Firefox.

Firefox is my browser of choice on my Google Pixel 7, but then again no doubt it makes little difference.

I just choose to use a VPN, so any targeted adverts are blocked regardless of the profile built up from my browsing habits.

Up votes. Actually wait a minute.

In all seriousness, any dumb, little thought out comments.

I would like to hope Lemmy is the Reddit of old before the masses ruined it.

I’m loving Lemmy right now.

No greed dictates inflated cost and consumers willing to pay ridiculous markups. Casing point is I’ve just purchased an Ebac product (made in the UK) and the cost is the same as an identical Meaco product made in China.

The sad fact, is as a consumer we’re not protected from such draconian downright middle-aged fuckery with the transparency of who ultimately makes your gismo.

Like food ingredients, every consumer item should clearly include the underlying manufacturer. Then as consumers we can then choose when it comes to purchasing and selectively have an impact by boycotting these companies.

Hon Hai Precision the parent company manufactures ~40% of all consumer electronics that make choice for certain products alternative (if ethically better) difficult. Hon Hai are on my DO NOT BUY.

Absolute shame on all involved including Apple for their lack of governance (note any action is always retrospective, never proactive) over their contractors. This ain’t the first time and will not be the last.

So the compromise is diverting the money that was allocated to other travel infrastructure ventures up North. Just categorically shows the contractors were either incompetent with their forecasting, or negligent with their execution. No inquiry, just closed book, ‘Next’.

Any one of the three British companies pitching.

Oh yeah, and fuck Bill Gates ya lizard

Good. Now let’s put the tender to a BRITISH company. British pound paying a British company, with British jobs and tried and tested British engineers. Did I mention British?

Anything to keep the US exports of oil to Canada flowing preventing Venezuela from cutting in on their action as a cheaper option. Sanctions targeted at a select few for the detriment of many many millions.
