Rekall is a company that provides memory implants of vacations, where a client can take a memory trip to a certain planet and be whoever they desire.
I mostly follow big accounts and don’t that much with folks (outside of a niche hobby account that I am trying to slowly grow).
Best option seems to be to subscribe/browse hashtags that pique your interest. Eventually you’ll find people who regularly post/boost interesting content and users.
I like to distinguish between ideological, Friedmanite capitalism, which I call big C Capitalism and broader concepts such as trade, competition, new commercial ideas, which I call small c capitalism.
Big C Capitalism is more of an oligarch-promoted, authoritarian ideology with clear fascistsa tendencies (see Friedman’s statement that “free markets” take precedent over democratic governance).
Small c capitalism is more a quality of human civilization and its implementation reflects social and cultural developments.
That is why American-run commercial social networks are inherently not viable if you care about user focus. Any rational adult (of any nationality, from US to Botswana) can make their own conclusions regarding US-run commercial social networks over the past ~20 years.
I deleted Twitter a while ago and switched to Mastodon, I did not move to Bluesky when it started getting big exactly because I knew their initial user-focus was a ruse (and their federation architecture seemed top heavy).
Trump is a bigger national security concern than fucking TP-Link and no one in power is seriously talking about removing him.
There is an abstract ironic beauty to this.
The physical market is basically in terminal decline. It would make much more sense for Sony to go with a separate drive addon if they are even willing to consider support discs for the PS6.
While I agree with your message at a high level (I quit FB several years ago), I don’t think it’s productive to be so abrasive.
It’s generally better to be respectful and convincing if you want to change minds.
I think you can effectively compete with China but you would need a giant coalition of democratic countries that would move fast and stay focused.
With oligarchs completely taking over the US, this is unlikely to happen. But that’s hardly the sole roadblock to such a coalition.
The enclosure and the ports of your laptop are the bigger factor.
You most definitely want to do extensive reviews before spending money as there tend to be lots of edge cases and issues with eGPUs.
AMD is rumored to be building its next-generation CCD (core complex die) that implements the “Zen 6” microarchitecture, on the 3 nm TSMC N3E foundry node.
I am surprised they are going twith TSMC N3E. One would think they would target one of the 2nm nodes. Or perhaps Zen 6 is coming to marketing in the next Either Zen 6 ~12 years?
Without Frame Generation, the gen-on-gen increase in performance is relatively modest (by historical standards for GPUs). Just 20% improvement between a 4070 and 5070.
Seems to be squarely aimed at GPUs.
AMD’s Zen+ 1700X (with no iGPU) has 4.8 billion transistors. 1080 Ti has 11.8 billion.
Even the latest Apple CPU doesn’t hit 30 billion:
This will happen shortly, as Apple’s M4 system-on-chip for mainstream PCs is already at 28 billion transistors.
Sounds like a solid option for entry-level performance use cases. The price/performance ratio versus the i5-13400F will be key.

It’s fascinating stuff. Open fraud.
I can’t speak for formal legal matters (I am assuming such scams are nominally legal in the US), but it goes to show that senior PayPal executives are basically criminals. There is no way they didn’t know about this.
Excuse me? I don’t do imperial, I am from continental Europe. :)
The plans Arm executives discussed included potentially inching closer to making a complete chip design of Arm’s own, according to testimony and documents at trial. Arm sells chip-design blueprints, but most of its customers still spend months completing the chip design.
“It was news to me that Arm is even thinking about (making its own chip),” said Tantra Analyst founder Prakash Sangam, who attended the trial. “It should send a chill down the spine of their customers.”
I wonder how competitive a fully ARM developed chip would be compared to say Qualcomm, Mediatek or Nvidia.
Agreed regarding dropping down from Ultra. But I do think if you’re going for a high fidelity Cyberpunk experience (4K), it’s worth enabling ray tracing.
Doesn’t seem like the 9070 XT is all that good of a solution for native 4K.
RX 8000
It supposed to be released as a RDNA 3.5 product for laptops (iGPUs?).
Sound like a novel and genuinely useful approach to reducing data transfer sizes.
From my understanding, this is an ML powered “on the fly” compression scheme which optimizes based on your particular workload type.
Even conceptually, this makes a lot of sense.
I am assuming this would only work with certain use cases. E.g. I can’t imagine this would work well with streaming video (e.g. AV1).
I pay the equivalent of $10 USD per month (we don’t do list prices, it’s the actual price) for 1 Gbit fibre.
And I am willing to bet that the “five-year price lock” advertising is fraud. There has to be a clause in their TOS that as per the company “price lock” means the ability to change prices.
