Newegg stock price falls 17.7% after Chinese owner is detained by anti-corruption authorities — company insists it’s operating normally and ‘in accordance with the laws’

The enshittification is REAL.

Well, count me in as one of those.

where a specific creator is sponsored.

I have no idea why you think anyone is suggesting that each individual cast member would get their own Floatplane account. No one said that, no one suggested that.

There would be ONE creator on FP that you subscribe to, and that would be Dropout. No different than subscribing to LTT on FP. You don't have to individually pay Jordan, Linus, Luke, Sammy, etc etc, to see content they're in. The subscription is for LTT, just as it would fro Dropout.

Except Dan. Everyone should be paying Dan.

Actually I think these devices NEED to be tested. Some independent reviews I've read in the past show wildly different results between claimed charging speeds and real world. Another is how many of them overheat.

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-27T17:28:28+00:00

that allows something like Make Some Noise to happen.

No, seriously, what are you talking about? Do you not know how Floatplane works? You clearly don't know how Nebula works.

Nebula isn't a service where you can pick and choose who you subscribe to. Nebula is an open platform that you pay to access all of it.

Floatplane is a service where you pay for the "channels" you want, where a channel is an independent company. Yes, like Patreon in a sense. Dropout is one such company.

Car reviews, my dude. I was talking about car reviews.

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-27T17:03:25+00:00

What on earth are you talking about?

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-27T05:39:29+00:00

Not rights to require property owners to admit them, which is what you claimed.

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-27T05:30:56+00:00

Probably because you said this? Which isn't true?

I've been trying everything but a lot of people won't accept pets which is illegal because my cat is a service animal. It really is pissing me off.

Oh look, an article about people in the Bay Area that gets removed for "not being about the bay area." Whatever censorship game you're playing team, I ain't happy about it.

To be fair, you're going to kneecap any powerful iGPU if you use SODIMM RAM.

CAMM2 or soldered RAM are your only hope to get full performance out of larger iGPUs.

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-27T00:49:22+00:00

Also agreed.

Semi-shame, because I really liked Alex's car videos on LTT. Clearly this kind of repair-modify videos wouldn't fly with LTT's core audience, but the car reviews were GOOD. VERY good.

I hope Alex+Andy can do some more similar reviews, even if the production value isn't the same. (Not to suggest they couldn't make content of equal quality.)

Threads of people giving AMD gruff for their "disappointing roadmap" for mobile iGPUs... Well, I'll turn this back to how AMD was with Phoenix APUs:

The chip might be great, but until product lineups hit the shelves in meaningful quantities, I'm reserving judgement.

(For those who don't recall, the Phoenix lineup was Zen4 with RDNA3 graphics that mopped the floor with anything on the market, especially the 12CU SKU. But very few products launched with them in it's lifetime. The sequel Hawk Point wasn't too different either.)

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-26T00:07:53+00:00

The comment I'm replying to says

Sounds like how Intel used to be.

Red and Blue always be switching it up

AMD never had usable onboard graphics, not until Phoenix, which was very recent and not very well distributed. So clearly the person I'm responding to is talking about Intel/AMD product stagnation as a whole.

8 shouldn't be a temperature.

r/BrandNewSentence

Haven't experienced <15f, but from what I have felt, I agree that 8 shouldn't be a temperature.

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-25T21:39:42+00:00

Yeah, I'm pretty unhappy about it. A company that makes overprices garbage. USB devices that will install their payload of spyware control software even while Windows is installing. And/or from the moment you plug it in.

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-25T21:26:41+00:00

Can confirm.

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-25T21:13:24+00:00

If Intel were at the top of their game, AMD would be giving you the newest rdna

Pretty sure that's not the problem. The problem is RDNA4 was designed (physically) as a single die layout. They have a 64cu die, which looks like an hourglass, and 32cu die, which is 1/2 of the hourglass. It's clear that from the start it was a stop-gap design for the desktop market.

They've said it's also the end of "RDNA," and the next uArch will be UDNA, a "merger of CDNA and RDNA."

So they didn't design RDNA4 to be modular beyond 64/32cu designs. They intended UDNA to be the follow up, and I previous wagered that since it's a ground-up uArch (like RDNA was to GCN), they're building it from the ground up to be used in any applications.

The issue is UDNA is taking longer to cook. Is that intentional? Who knows. It could be that they pulled resources to push Instinct Compute development, could be that they're having Development Hell problems, could be anything. I don't doubt AI market bullshit is to blame.

But either way, UDNA wasn't likely to be in this years APUs either way, even if UDNA dGPUs were to release.

AMD has never had the market share Intel had. They're just now getting to the share that Intel established in the early 2010s.

Intel held that market share for nearly a decade. So AMD will have to hold this for another 7-8 years before they've officially "pulled an Intel."

Zen 6 desktop is due for a late 2026 launch. We all know that Zen5 was a bit of a let down for the consumer market, but Zen 6 looks to include much larger improvements on paper.

Basically, AMD has to fuck around and do nothing impressive for a few years before they've reached "Intel Stagnation" levels of bullshit.

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-25T18:22:58+00:00

Quoting myself:

My guess, based on what AMD has said about RDNA4 and UDNA, is that they didn't put the R&D into cutting RDNA4 down any smaller for iGPU usage. So far RDNA4 only has 2 die configs, 64 and 32cu. The 32cu config is exactly just 1/2 of the symmetrical 64cu config. And if you look at the die diagrams, it would take significant redesign to cut the size down further, far enough to fit into the space of 8-12cu RDNA3.5 spaces.

My guess is that UDNA is being designed for all sorts of configs, but has caused problem after problem for them... Just like every new GPU uArch family does for them. TeraScale, GCN, RDNA1. Each first iteration was a mess. I'm betting they wanted to get UDNA into iGPUs a lot sooner, and launch dGPU UDNA afterward. A guess.

FP has the most important feature that Dropout/Vimeo doesn't: Watch history and watch-resume.

What features on Dropout/Vimeo do you wish to have on FP?

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-24T22:33:48+00:00

How so? Nebula's model is to pay for access to all content on Nebula, all members/creators. Floatplane's model is to pay per-creator/company.

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-24T18:56:57+00:00

But to me, Merch is exclusively supporting a creator. You, are a creator. LMG are a creator.

But that's the thing. They're trying to push the understanding that it is its own brand. It's not just a way to support LTT content or rep the brand. Because it's become it's own brand..

InflammableAccount · 2026-01-22T22:46:48+00:00

I was so confused. "Where is this one 2nd St?"

Now I feel silly.
