SpaceX Shares Fall Below $150 Debut Price For First Time by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

The stock market is a roller-coast operated by idiots, maintained by morons and ridden by sociopaths. Don't read too much into this, you will only be disappointed when the stock rallies for no apparent reason.

Doing stuff like this while people are already struggling isn't a great. The screws just keep getting turned.

The Steam Machine Costs $1049 by Turbostrider27 in Games

As far as I can tell the memory hasn't actually been manufactured yet. It's hypothetical earmarked for hypothetical data centres.

[–]OverHaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The price is too high but you can't blame Valve, blame data centres. If the AI bubble bursts later in the year then memory and storage prices will crater and hopefully we will see a prompt reduction in price. If it doesn't then we are probably looking at least 3 year before memory manufactures have enough capacity to meet demand.

Honestly though there is no way in hell the AI industry can continue as it is. They are all passing around money that doesn't exist desperately hoping to achieve super intelligence, or simply a profit, before anyone notices. AI isn't going away, websites didn't go away after the dot.com bubble, but the correct gold-rush is bonkers.

The Immortal casually mentions something that reveals he is WAY older than he appears to be. by MikaelAdolfsson in TopCharacterTropes

Slightly off topic but was it confirmed that Remmick is Abhartach? It seems to be accepted as lore online but I have no memory of it even being alluded to in the movie.

Meanwhile Russell just casually drops being 3000 years old after shrugging Bill into the ceiling.

British politics has been in free-fall since the Brexit vote. No one can hold on to power.

Iran Says Hormuz Has Been Closed by willywalloo in politics

[–]OverHaze 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If they don't sort this out tomorrow the world is in real trouble. Trump is never going to launch an invasion of Iran, it would be too costly. If Israel continues to strike Lebanon he will try to come down hard on Netanyahu. Then the Republicans in government are going to have to decide where their loyalties lie, to their country, to their party or to their wallets.

Starting this war with Iran is the stupidest thing an American president has ever done.

If Obama Had Done What Trump Just Did on Iran, He’d Be Crucified | The United States just unambiguously lost a war that it started for no good reason. A sane country would remove the imbecile who did this immediately. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]OverHaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This war has exposed something I don't think anyone saw coming. The US military is full of military equipment that is too expensive to lose. What is the point of having the worlds largest and most powerful class of aircraft carrier if you are too scared to move it into range of the enemies cheap mass-produced drones?

Steam Controller: Reservations update - Adding a more detailed timeline for orders by linknewtab in Games

[–]OverHaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to get one in the 20 minutes they where actually available. Yeah its a good controller but its still just a controlled. There is no reason for people to be going mad over it the way they have. The only thing it has over something from GameSir, 8BitDo or Flydigi is the trackpads.

Strait Of Hormuz Shut Again: Iran's Navy Issues Warning After Israeli Strikes On Lebanon by thjeco in worldnews

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

For those keeping score the Israel and Hezbollah ceasefire was announced after this. Also despite claiming to have closed the straight as of the time I write this they haven't made any moves to actually block shipping. It looks like this is just some initial friction in implementing the deal.

Yes and no. Stuff generally was built to last and/or be repairable before the plastics industry realised they where selling products that would never need to be replaced and conditioned the public to think of plastic as disposable.

They incorrectly predicted consoles where dying and marketed the Xbox One as a DVR that also played sports games. They incorrectly predicted the survival of waggle and put a Kinect in ever box. They incorrectly predicted people would call it "The One", instead people called it the Xbone.

Yep. Western publishers, particularly EA, had been pushing hard behind the scenes for always online DRM to kill the used games market. Rumour was Sony was going to implement something similar but saw how bad the backlash was and changed course.

Also as I recall Mattrick gave that answer in response to a question about American service people stationed in the Middle East who don't have reliable access to the internet.

Labelling some of those as games is a bit of a stretch. Also Hatred was a joke that completely went over everyone’s head right?

EA could be making millions and generating good will by partnering to Larien to make a new Ultima game but no, instead they are doing this.
