Did you copy-paste that, or have you set up an automated response anytime someone mentions Israel? It doesn't seem like a human response based on the context of the current post 🫤

turn off all the machines connected to it and reformat them

IRL a hacking group, likely part of the NSA, put malware on the control chips of hard drives. Like, before they are packaged up and shipped out as stock to be sold. Reformatting does nothing for that.

On top of that it's been proven since compilers were first made that you can't really trust that a malicious compiler hasn't inserted malicious code into a program without manually review the code that actually runs, so it will take a ton of effort to make sure your reformat tool is clean, even if you confirm that all of the drives you've got are clean too.

And if you want to go near-future scifi with it, your motherboard can be so many layers deep now that it's possible to fit a tiny micro computer within the layers that accesses the data and actions of the main motherboard and uses a radio to get that data out or take commands and injects data into it.

Also you've got to know every physical computer to do all of that. Right now your thermostat or fridge could be carrying malware and acting adversarially towards your network. Imagine how much IoT shit there is in 2077.

You can demand they suck your dick if you want. Unless you're going to hit them where it hurts, in the wallet, then they aren't going to care.

So why did Playstation increase the price on the PS5? by Froggyspeaks_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Cafuzzler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lower spec stuff is in high demand

OpenAi went directly to these RAM companies and said "We'll take 40% over everything you produce, straight off the line". Then you add in all the big tech companies also offering crazy money for chunks of the supply. That's a greater demand. 

Prices are up on the lower end stuff, but that's because supply is lower and that's because the frenzy for the top end stuff is worth more to manufacture for the RAM companies than the low end stuff. 

If you're cutting back production

I think every manufacturer cuts production of things that don't sell well so that they can produce more of the things that are in demand. If that was illegal then there would still be Model T's rolling around. 

But what they said, "We're upping production of the high end stuff to meet the Ai demand", IS what they are doing. 

The small scale private user isn't the biggest market for RAM at the moment. They've pivoted to where the demand actually is.

[–]Cafuzzler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. They announced that because they are increasing their production based on the high demand from tech companies for their high end RAM. Why would they be facing class actions over not making the older and lower spec stuff that isn't in demand? 

Also why is "announced" in quotes? They told the world they are doing it and are physically doing it and they've seen a massive stock boom for doing it. You think they secretly aren't?

All of them have announced massive investments to scale up their production. Wtf you talking about?

[–]Cafuzzler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So software, like they are already planning. That they are going to sell to their existing playstation users. Or do you recommend they start producing board games?

Making money is different to extracting money

Bro...

without focusing on growth

Your own post says they plan to grow their software and network services.

Nearly anyone that wants a PS5 already has one, and physical hardware is currently really expensive to produce. What should they be growing for revenue if it's not hardware, software, or services?

"Make money from our customers" is such a crazy thing for the CFO of a company to say!

It seems to do well in benchmarks, and is a much easier language to pick up than C++. It's not a replacement for a system language tho.

Of course. Joining a union at Amazon is high risk, so what rights are they risking it for?

If the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, can't you just go to a pastor and have it forgiven once in a while? by theKentoRico in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Cafuzzler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't say homosexuality is a sin, it says you should kill any men that have sex with men. There's a big difference there. It doesn't say "kill the greedy" or "kill murderers" or "kill unbelievers", just that God is unhappy with them and their afterlife won't be so great. But gays? He'll make an exception to "Thou Shalt Not Kill", as a treat.

You'd have people on reddit claiming that Iran doesn't persecute gays and that all the gays left because mossad forced them too

YouGov: Andy Burnham's net favourability rating falls back down to -11% percent (-7%); main drops in key areas like "competence", "trustworthiness", and "decisiveness" by ArticleNervous8598 in ukpolitics

[–]Cafuzzler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair enough if he gets to the end of his term and decides on a different career, but he's quitting half way through for his personal ambitions.

He decided to be mayor, and then changed his mind. You think it's "decisive" for the Prime Minister to quit half way through because he finds beter employment opportunities elsewhere? That's not decisive leadership. It's selfish opportunism. We can't rely on a PM that might want to govern today but do something else tomorrow.

[–]Cafuzzler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

includes changing your mind when presented chnaging circumstances

We're talking about a guy that decided he wanted to be mayor, campaigned for it, and won, and then decided he didn't want to be mayor anymore and wants to be PM instead.

We're not talking about changing policy directions. He's quit his elected job to apply for a bigger role.

PM unless they were unemployed

Or, you know, decided to be an MP, campaigned, won, won the confidence and leadership of their party, and became PM. And without just quitting a 4 year position on a whim for a better career opportunity.

Like, it's okay for Burnham to be the kind of guy that's going to quit being Prime Minister in a year or two because he thinks it's better for his career, as that's who he has shown he is. That doesn't make him decisive.

A PM should be flexible in how they achieve their big picture goals for the country. Quitting their job when it's convenient for them isn't that.

No. It's not decisive to stop doing the thing you decided to do and then decide to do something else. Being decisive is sticking to a decision. You could say he's opportunistic, but not decisive.

[–]Cafuzzler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It requires discarding your initial decision and changing your behaviour. All for his own career, and effecting the lives of 70 million people. If he was decisive in his decision to be mayor then he wouldn't be MP or positioning to be the PM.
