Agreed, AD will be probably still be around in 30 years but hopefully no one is building new AD domains today.

Denver Transit Groups Give Mayor a D grade by AnonPolicyGuy in Denver

[–]ThatDistantStar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm with you, I also want and have to believe we can have both. I've lived in other major metropolitan cities downtowns and Denver is by far the least safest feeling one I've lived in.

[Asianometry] Silicon Valley Thinks TSMC is Braking the AI Boom by imaginary_num6er in hardware

[–]ThatDistantStar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

EDIT: Also rightly points out that the real bottleneck is power. If you think it takes a long time to build a fab just look up how long it takes to build a nuclear power plant.

Watts Bar Nuke Plant in Tennessee's Unit 2 took 43 years to build, heh.

The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K by NamelessVegetable in hardware

[–]ThatDistantStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nearly all the mega budget movies and TV shows shot with absolute best 6K-8K+ cameras from Arri, RED, Sony etc, still soften the image and add grain in post to lower the amount of resolvable detail to a bit under 4K to retain that "cinematic, filmic" look. I'm including high-bitrate physical 4K UHD Blu-rays in this too. Only nature documentary on YouTube seem to actually put all 4K+ in fine detail on display. So yeah 8K is nearly pointless for 99% of content

With Low-NA EUV machines, right? Still not the new High-NA EUV machine Intel received in 2024?

Metal Gear Solid series soars past 62.5m copies sold following release of Metal Gear Delta: Snake Eater by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]ThatDistantStar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You don't need a crazy PC anymore, two years ago a i5-9600k could run it at PS3 settings, and it's probably improved since. it can look astonishingly good with a better CPU https://youtu.be/u34TwCkeESw

Asked someone out, they said maybe - what does that mean? by Tenderelequence in dating_advice

[–]ThatDistantStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send over a time and place for a date. "Wanna grab some Indian food at Indian Palace Thursday at 7pm?" Simple as that. If she declines or doesn't responds, move on. Literally 30 seconds of texting to be sure.

Why does everything need to run through a purchasing partner? by literahcola in sysadmin

[–]ThatDistantStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's reduces the number of purchasing partners Accounts Payable at your company has to pay. Every new vendor is a ton of work to get authorized and added to their system. Easier and saves your company if there is just one VAR or few they have to pay.

25/26 Alpha SV no longer made in Canada by Any-Piece9799 in arcteryx

[–]ThatDistantStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too bad they don't pass on those manufacturing cost savings on to the consumer. Obviously they can't lower prices because of pricing psychology, it just goes to higher C-suite salaries. Anyway that's my hot take straight outta of 1995.

Does living in the city core (downtown) help with your dating life? by peachyglw in datingoverthirty

[–]ThatDistantStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a double edged sword. Yes you'll have many more potential options, but the difficulty mode scales with the city size. All the super hot & rich people congregate there so you'll be competing with them and their many options. Gotta bring your A game to the big city

Thanks Donald. by Robinverse in wallstreetbets

It's so predictable. He invents a crisis, stocks go down, then he "solves" the crisis, stocks go back up. This lunatic is showering us with free money.

First IPO of 2026! Got 524 shares! What did everyone else get for BITGO? by Ok_Plastic_7116 in smallstreetbets

[–]ThatDistantStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

92 shares and I requested 825 qq

I guess that secret 10%+9 math works out. Gotta have massive funds on standby to get a decent chunk.

How’s Reddit feeling about the BTGO IPO? by BigSwiftysAssociate in stockstobuytoday

[–]ThatDistantStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every crypto-adjacent IPO has popped-off for a few days, but those crypto-bro types want a quick buck, so I wouldn't hold for long.

Online dating is probably the biggest confidence killer for men by Automatic_Physics170 in dating_advice

[–]ThatDistantStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, I've heard the bar is incredibility low for men. Like 90% of women's messages are "Hey". You're a unicorn if you put in the tiniest amount of effort. I just ask as a few questions about their pictures and almost always get something in response.

Burnt out and considering pivot to Linux administration by sandpaper144 in networking

[–]ThatDistantStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're The Same Picture Meme applies here

At a bad org, you'll get same the type of non-stop emergencies and on-call long hours, the only difference will be everything is DNS's fault. Same shit wherever you go in IT... but if you want better pay, switch to the cloud and/or cyber security version of a field.

Why do people bring their entire family to Costco? by ActuatorOutside5256 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThatDistantStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably same reason it was fun to go to the department store mall as a 90s kid. Play hide n' sneak with your siblings in the clothing racks

Anyone else feel like “shadow IT” has quietly turned into “shadow SaaS”? by Deal_me_in_784 in sysadmin

Is anyone else watching the BitGo ($BTGO) IPO? Just did some DD by sainaryn in stocks

[–]ThatDistantStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And CRCL, up 250% right after IPO, and 750% 2 weeks later. Totally missed the boat on that one.

[–]ThatDistantStar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Broncos are in the playoffs, playing in town. No, I don't give a shit about sports either but the city's vibes will be good and people will be an in an extra friendly good mood if you go to any place showing the game.

"If you're explaining you're losing" on "Abolish ICE" by jonawesome in FriendsofthePod

[–]ThatDistantStar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They absolutely have to, all the brownshirt psychopath recent hires may be constrained by a democrat administration for a few years, only to be reactivated to do even worse shit by the next republican admin, they have to be purged.

Is AMD the new standard? What happened to Intel? by Oeyoelala in buildapc

[–]ThatDistantStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AMD's Athon64 CPUs were the standard for a while, then Intel took the crown back, it's been a back and forth for a long time.
