poorlytunedAstring , to Reddit in New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion

The word "troll" just kinda doesn't mean much anymore, huh.

poorlytunedAstring , to Technology in Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough

For the record, on Windows 10, I'm using 9GB (rounded up from 8.something) to run Firefox and look at this website, can't forget Discord inviting itself to my party in the background, and the OS. I had to close tabs to get down here. Streams really eat the RAM up.

Throw a game in there, with FF open for advice and Discord running for all the usual gaming reasons, and yeah, way over.

Notice I haven't even touched any productivity stuff that demands more.

8? Eat a penis, Apple. Fuckin clown hardware.

poorlytunedAstring , to Technology in Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died

Auto-lock doors have been a nightmare in general. I always roll a window down at least far enough to stick an arm through every time I get out of a running car because of the one time forever ago that I left a 90s Pontiac Skylark running, shut the door, and it autolocked with the keys in the ignition and the motor running. I had to get my girlfriend to drive me back to my apartment for the spare key while the car was humming away, and I never forgot that. If I wasn't close to home, with a helpful ride nearby, and a spare key on hand, I'd have been screwed.

Talk about features that need regulated out. All because suburban whites don't want to remember to lock the doors as they drive through the black neighborhood so the car locks itself whenever you put it in Drive.

poorlytunedAstring , to Technology in Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI

Right when we literally need to chill, they keep inventing nonsense that is somehow worse. Crypto is literally just machines wasting energy on purpose to create false scarcity, it was already a worst case scenario for truly pointless excess emissions but by god, they managed to top it, this place is going to be a raisin with dead oceans.

Of course, anyone who does anything less than suck the dick of this AI is a reactionary ignorant peasant, at least with crypto everyone agreed it was lame, now we're back to the iPhone fuck-you-only-change-allowed-keep-up-granny bullshit that lead to everyone but you knowing everything about you, so they can exploit and even criminalize the behavior your phone tells them about. Never the change we need, though. Just whatever makes your stupid line go up.

I guess. Glad I'm not having kids. That's the only fucking downward pressure on future emissions that's happening, on any meaningful scale. I can't wait to see what sort of shitty boilerplate copy and fake fucking pictures makes all this CO2 worthwhile. I'm sure the problem is me, and my Luddite, unseasoned irrational fear.
