Even the headline is wrong. Jobs have already started disappearing due to AI.

Jellyfin has definitely gotten leaps and bounds better in the last 4 years.

The fact that there’s even a whiff of Kamala running again is great evidence that we are so fucked and will continue to be so fucked.

This is the best response on here.

…and holy fuck, what a great game.

Given how polarized parts of the world currently are about some specific issues, I would not at all be surprised if this became a real thing.

Yeah OK, I just had to read that twice to see you’re right.

The title is ambiguous (or perhaps vague, more accurately).

“doesn’t let me use my 32 char password” can be interpreted as:

• it does not allow passwords of 32 characters in length, regardless of composition

• it does allow passwords of 32 characters in length, which should be sufficient with or without special characters

In one reading, the special character requirement is the issue. In the other, the length.

Yay for English.

It could change relatively quickly though. Consider that Valve’s devices are all ultimately AMD devices. If Valve’s bet pays off, then those numbers should change (to what extent, I don’t know).

The Linux gaming community in general (which small as it is, is growing) is definitely shifting AMD. On the nvidia side are a bunch of driver woes and poor support. Meanwhile AMD’s drivers are literally baked into the kernel. No contest for ease.

This could all be wrong. Definitely. But the optimist in me sees a glimmer of hope depending on where the enthusiast community goes, how successful Valve is with their coming machines, etc.

Orrrrr… The whole PC enthusiast community dies because AI keeps driving prices into the sky and it never recovers in any meaningful way.

Incorrect. I get down with the sickness or with my bad self.

Maybe… just maybe… the ones at the top with all the money should not be the ones with the least knowledge and the worst skillsets.

If there are absolutely no errors in event log before the restart, PSU really is a top contender. The system will have had no warnings of any kind. If the PSU stops delivering adequate power, it’s likely to restart, and this is at a low level (i.e. the motherboard restarts the system).

It’s difficult to diagnose too. For mine, I was able to get more-or-less consistent restarts by requiring more PSU current by putting the system under heavier load. Once I saw the restarts occur as fans / drives / GPU were spooling up, I swapped my PSU. That was the issue.

The good news is that (well-made) PSUs usually fail in a way that won’t damage components. And yes, even good PSUs can fail, especially if they’re being used above their rating. And even the best PSUs don’t last forever – best practice to change them out every few years, in any event.

Money.

Vibe coding is horrible in the wrong hands, but a skilled programmer can utilise it to carry out boring tasks.

If things continue as they are, eventually there will be no more skilled programmers.

Because there are no consequences for anything anymore. At least not for the rich.

The writing was on the wall long before a convicted felon was allowed back into the Oval Office.

Remember this the next time some politician says we don’t have money for services that would actually help US citizens.

Not that it’ll make a difference, but at least you’ll know you were right as the world burns down around you.

iyes :wq

Trump has been President for 6 of the last 10 years.

The Right hates this guy now. But for the life of me, I can’t figure out why. He was the absolute poster child. “I’m just asking questions” (where you ask completely unfounded questions in an effort to shift discourse where it doesn’t need to go) is a cornerstone of MAGA “thought”.

…except that saying anything against the MAGA cult leader gets you a permaban. And thus, Tucker is out.

I even use a fan in the winter. I like cold air on the outside and warm air on the inside. More than that, something about the wind moving past my head is soothing.

Yeah, this is a major issue across the board. For a wide variety of products, if they clearly marked which were AI generated, then the sales would likely speak for themselves.

But companies don’t really want to do this. They want to mix AI slop in with regular products, so that over time, the average consumer dumbs down enough to no longer know the difference. Then they just generate every product ever and number go up.

This still ignores the fact that no one will have money to put into the system from the bottom (which is the only way it flows in an economy), but here we are.
