LOL yea, let’s ask the fucking cocaine dealer if cocaine is addictive

i mean no one sees any of this getting any better any time soon. overkill? possibly. but it’s one thing to not have to worry about for a while

edit: if it makes you feel any better, i usually build a new computer every 5-7 years, but this time i upgraded early, last january, 2025 expecting tariffs to make supply shitty-- i had no idea AI would be screwing up everything the way it has. definitely glad i made that decision, even though i went way over budget–i should be set PC-wise for quite a while

holy shit i thought i was going super prepared with a 24tb

me neither. if you think you might need more storage over the next 2 years, now’s the time to get it

if you need HDD, i never had a problem with seagate, though it’s been years since i bought one

i don’t know anything about this guy other than some big headlines a while ago about how some chode legally changed his name to “dotcom,” which is…unbelievably fucking stupid. i get the feeling he was trying to be intimidating in this tweet on fucking twitter, but he’s not. i don’t really see this douchenozzle “humiliating” anyone. except maybe himself

maybe he means “ai companies will fail” as not so much as a prediction, but just a given. kind of like “one day, you must die” isn’t really a “prediction,” that’s just the way it is

dO yOu GuYs NoT hAvE pHoNeS?!

the same reason hollywood keeps remaking and remaking and rebooting and remaking every movie from 1980 to 2000 and beyond. it doesn’t matter how fucking godawful the final product is, the nostalgia draw will guarantee funding

at least the video games are the actual video games from our childhood (i assume)

we’re about a generation and a half into people who were raised with the phone/tablet as their babysitter

given M$'s heinous bullshit tactics lately, i wouldn’t put it past them to pay some tech writer to take a linux build to some big public event, deliberately fuck it up, windows to the rescue, and then write an article about why linux isn’t just unstable, but downright hazardous to your job

for my own part, everything i’ve had to put up with as a linuxnoob has been 100% worth the result of flushing windows down the shitter where it belongs.

i was just saying you can pay $X now, or $X+whoknowshowmuch later.

it is true that the price of tech has historically gone down as technology advances, however, right now AI demands all the supply, which providers are only too happy to provide for. supply down = demand up = price up

at the end of the day it makes absolute zero difference to me whether you buy anything or not. do you

the best time to buy anything tech was 12 months ago. the second best time is right now, before prices get even worse, which they 100% will

now i just need a 300TB hard drive…

how do i block every post from a .ml user?

i think i’ve had at least 10 or 15 external hdds since the early 2000s and have only had one die on me before i retired it to upgrade to a larger capacity
