Why are AI companies buying consumer grade RAM?

And already proven wrong, 4 years ago. This isn’t a revelation.

It doesn’t mean anything when the claim was already thoroughly debunked 4 years ago…

Exactly the problem!

Not quite, Windows detects the monitor being attached and goes “Oh? What software goes with this?” and downloads the package provided by LG.

The monitor doesn’t say “Hey, I want you to download this”, Windows does that on it’s own.

So, a couple of things…

For a real time warning system, there’s no need to actually record anything. Monitoring the video feed with no record capability should be fine.

Second, this sounds super easy to defeat with a printed photo card and a couple of Googley Eyes. 👀

If the next generation is digital only, it will be the first generation in which I do not participate.

The easy way to solve the issue would be to support USB drives, they won’t, but they could.

I have a USB 4K drive connected to my PC right now.

They did give me 5 months severance…

Only without the “To Own” part. Perpetual rent, zero ownership. Cable TV model. “Here’s your subscription box, pay us $99 a month forever.”

I’m hoping / not hoping my previous employer does this.

Letting everyone go has been a disaster, but at the same time, I’m not sure I want to go back.

Typically, 6 years into a console life, prices are cut dramatically to maintain sales because the majority of people who wanted one already bought one.

This time, prices are UP across the board.

PS5 - Launch - $400/$500
Current - $600/$650

PS5 Pro - Launch - $700
Current - $900

Xbox Series S - Launch - $300
Current - $400/$450

Xbox Series X - Launch - $500
Current - $600/$650/$800

I use an Android tablet, full color, fast page loading.

Back when I was in college, IBM manipulated individual atoms to spell out “IBM”. I always wondered where that technology would end up!

Nice, but wake me when it’s Gamestop or Best Buy.

Been seeing these weird AI hairstyling videos that are such obvious bullshit and I just wonder “Why? WHYYYYYYY?”

As someone who has lived through a few of these, I hope you don’t have any money tied up in a 401K, because it will get wiped and will take decades to recover. 😉

The last time we saw a price spike like this was when the Chinese adhesives factory caught fire and burned to the ground, those adhesives were used in all kinds of chips.

2013 - but even then it wasn’t this bad.

There were also supply chain problems during Covid.

I’m really concerned that when (not if) the AI bubble pops it’s going to take a lot of companies with it.
