oh man, reading the comments fill me with fear, as I just ordered a new computer after stretching my old laptop for 8 years or so. I was super close to getting an AMD but went with Nvidia in the end… but so much bad juju in the comments for Nvidia too…

topperharlie@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Netflix Hints at Price Increases, Plans to Retire Basic Service Amid Ad-Tier GrowthEnglish121·2 years agoI already unsubscribed and start sailing when the account share thing happened, but people are willing to take anything these days… so good for netflix I suppose.
101 businessman logic: slowly stretch it until numbers go down, and then back down a bit, just to keep trying stretching it further in a later time. Repeat.
infinite growth guaranteed.
This is why at this point I don’t trust any subscription type thing, they are all destined to end up in that cycle, which, good for them, I think it’ll have to explode eventually, or not, who cares, I’m already out anyway
topperharlie@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?21·2 years agoOne that I can remember many years ago, classic trying to do something on a flash drive and
dd
my main hdd instead.Funny thing, since this was a 5400rpm and noticed relatively quick (say 1-2 minutes), I could ctrl-c the dd, make a backup of most of my personal files (being very careful not to reboot) and after that I could safely reformat and reinstall.
To this day it amazes me how linux managed to not crash with a half broken root file system (I mean, sure, things were crashing right and left, but given the situation, having enough to back up most things was like magic)
honestly, it has the word AI somewhere in their last year activities, even if they don’t do it themselves.
Investors are dumb as fuck, they know nothing about anything other than keywords and hype trains, so with the AI keyword they might go crazy on this.
I keep saying it, the stock market is a mistake for humanity, it doesn’t make sense to put a gambling house in the core of the world economy.
