heartbreaking: GACKT just made a good point
From the Stopped Clock Department: Japanese singer/probable vampire GACKT has come out against over-reliance on generative AI after Google's AI falsely reported a tsunami warning had ended. "Are there really idiots who rely on AI during a disaster?"

If there's any upside it's that graphics standards for games are pretty much going to be parked right where they are for a while due to the lack of hardware availability.

Also pretty soon stock of completed gaming GPUs are going to dry up and new ones won't have any new GDDR chips waiting, so we're going to have like the third GPU shortage by the middle of 2026 if not sooner.

If you need a new GPU, get it *now.*

If Microsoft doesn't extend Windows 10 support it might actually finally be the Year of Linux on the Desktop because none of those people will be able to afford a Windows 11 PC.

It just clicked in my head that if the RAM shortage continues as it is, it's going to be literally impossible for most people to upgrade from Windows 10 systems to ones that run Windows 11.

So Microsoft is going to be pushed to add another year of Windows 10 support or face public crucifixion.

Most Americans do not want right-wing policies or right-wing culture war bullshit.

Getting made an executive and then acting like the entire company is all about you is definitely not something the public is tired of and wants to stop happening.

She should do this every day.

Shopping freeze at Home Depot in Manhattan this afternoon in protest against the company allowing ICE to stage & target people seeking work at Home Depots across the country.

An estimated 300 activists purchased & returned ice scrapers, copying activists in Los Angeles. Ended with a rally outside.
