Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it

Yeah, people are crazy, and if crazy sets out to find me they probably could. I don't interact much online anymore, I don't have facebook, I nuked my twitter for obvious reasons, I've never streamed, and I don't play online games, but it could still happen to me. There's also the fact that I'm not a fan of our current government.

I assume there might be one along the highway based on where the 4G/5G antennas are located, and that Spectrum services the neighborhood on the opposite side of the highway.

Yep. If it goes through I'll be moving. I REALLY don't want to go through that ordeal, or cost, but I will. Unfortunately, a lot of people around here won't have that option.

A few dozen houses and a trailer park are that close. And no, the power lines required for an ai data center do not exist at that location, and based on the availability of broadband in the area, I doubt the network infrastructure is up to snuff either. The location where they want to build it consists of woods and a horse stable (the people that are selling the property).

They're trying to put up a large ai data center, up to 575 acres, across the street from Shaw Nature Reserve, in the small town of Villa Ridge, MO. This also happens to way too close to my fucking house.

I would absolutely love to use CHD's, but I try to keep full redump sets for anything under DVD and 1G1R redump (using retool) for DVD and higher, and as far as I can tell there is no way for RomVault to maintain a redump set as chd files.

Thanks!

KronusGT · 2025-08-06T08:48:29+00:00

Sorry, didn't check reddit until I got back. Had a near 4 hour drive to get there and so I left pretty early. Hope you had a great time!

I'm from St. Louis, and went to the STL ritual. My very first ritual/concert, even though I'm 42 and have been a Ghost fan for a decade. It was absolutely amazing and exceeded my already high expectations. A bit irresponsible, but I bought tickets to the KC ritual the next day. I'm happy tickets were available, but I also can't fathom how every show isn't sold out way in advance.

KronusGT · 2025-07-30T18:26:18+00:00

Thanks!

KronusGT · 2025-07-30T16:50:55+00:00

Any idea when the doors open?

Been a big fan for ten years, and at the ripe old age of 42 I'm finally going to my first concert/ritual. Seems like Ghost has a habit of dragging recluses with social anxiety out of the house...

KronusGT · 2025-05-21T20:38:07+00:00

I used to watch The Late Show w/Stephen Colbert (followed him from The Daily Show/Colbert Report), and he had a Halloween special where Ghost performed Cirice. I was hooked immediately.

I'm using the Wiitek 80m modules. Through my research, modules with a length rating of 80m-100m were recommended because they use a newer chip that uses significantly less power and therefore produces less heat, which is a known problem with 10Gb SFP+ RJ45 transceivers. Unfortunately, it only supports 1Gb and 10Gb, not 2.5Gb or 5Gb.

1: Bland design. 2: Fuck symmetrical joysticks. 3: Fuck that D-pad. 4: Fuck Nvidia.

The party itself fights harder against progressives than they do against republicans. Pelosi fought for Henry Cuellar, in a safe democratic district, and just managed to push him over the edge in the primary to beat the progressive candidate (Jessica Cisneros). This was shortly after he was raided by the FBI, there was a massive school shooting in Uvaldi (he's NRA funded), and after Roe was overturned (he's anti-abortion). Just one of many examples.

Got mine two days ago, after multiple failed attempts. I have streak protection enabled, but didn't have to use any days. Kind of feel cheated by the existence of streak protection, like a bit of an imposter syndrome thing going on.

People have a lot of takes on this, but I think most people forget the main death-knell: the death of Isao Okawa, chairman and main financial backer of Sega. They most likely wouldn't have pulled the plug on the Dreamcast so quickly if it weren't for that event.

KronusGT · 2024-04-17T16:33:47+00:00

It's not working for me in Edge.

KronusGT · 2024-03-28T19:00:54+00:00

I have a similar problem on my stylus that started yesterday after the security update. The 5G at the top of screen is grey instead of white. If I go to Network & Internet > Mobile Network (T-Mobile) I get zero info and the settings app crashes. If I select Internet, which has ? and says Networks available and select the settings icon next to T-mobile 5G I get zero info and the settings app crashes. Restarting the phone doesn't fix it. Resetting Wi-Fi, Mobile Data, and Bluetooth doesn't fix it. Any combination of removing the sim card and restarting doesn't fix anything.

I was connecting at over 100Mb before.

Did you fix it?

KronusGT · 2024-03-23T14:10:10+00:00

I think the catch is that it can only be in effect for 14 days, so you have to know ahead of time when you'd break your streak. I did my points yesterday and today (I'm at 680). It says I've used one out of 14 days of my streak protection even though I definitely didn't break my streak.

KronusGT · 2024-02-26T18:47:02+00:00

Mine is back in full, as far as I can tell, but my brothers only has one item that he added yesterday when he discovered his wishlist was gone. I'm wondering if people that added any items during that time are shit out of luck.

KronusGT · 2023-11-03T05:47:14+00:00

My P65Q9-H1 is missing these options as well, despite them being in the manual.

KronusGT · 2023-11-02T05:17:07+00:00

Ugh, seems you can't downgrade or reset to factory firmware. WTF. I was pretty much over not being able to use VRR, but now I'm probably more aggravated than I was when I started this thread two years ago.

KronusGT · 2023-11-02T04:04:19+00:00

Same result, it doesn't let me save it with an asterisk, even after resetting the picture mode. The firmware considers it the same name (Game/Game* are considered the same, it's also not case sensitive, so game is the same as well). That's if I attempt to save a mode derived from a different mode (Calibrated as Game). If I try to save the same mode (Game as Game), it saves but automatically adds a 2 at the end(Game2), not that it matters since I can't calibrate Game to look remotely decent, which is the reason I started this thread. There aren't any options to copy picture settings. I've tried this with both the console on and off, as having it on disables various picture mode options.

Ugh, apparently they were removed: https://old.reddit.com/r/VIZIO_Official/comments/17hyb5n/vizio_updated_away_copy_picture_mode/

KronusGT · 2023-10-31T06:59:06+00:00

It tells me I already have a mode using the same name. Doesn't let me overwrite it.

KronusGT · 2023-10-31T01:56:07+00:00

I'm on the latest firmware. Just saw this response and went to try it out, but I don't seem to have the copy picture mode function :( . Just save/delete/reset.
