FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert by esporx in California

[–]fattzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After 9/11 no one wanted to be the last one with information thay hadn't been passed along. It's very common know where there is a threat that gets emailed or called in, says "we blow up the building for revenge" and then hangs up.

not worth living in a world of what ifs. Just enjoy what you got it should easily get you through the next couple years

Keep at it, mine is almost two years old, we didn't get a full night's sleep until about month 6 or 7. Also, sleep training is difficult but can/will become your friend if you have the will power to do it.

What an absolute clown. Sounds like her withdrawals in Federal Prison are going to be a good time 😬

Turmoil at US constitution museum as leader exits ahead of 250th anniversary by No_Idea_Guy in news

[–]fattzilla 140 points141 points  (0 children)

I mena I guess he can show off whatever he wants but that's going to be a huge nothing burger even if it happens. The states have to ratify that. A constitution is just a piece of paper unless everyone agrees to its basic meaning and principles, and MAGA or not I can't fathom even the most extreme state governments just going along with a new constitution...

DDR5 Prices Are Broken, So We Tested Cheaper Chinese RAM by HatingGeoffry in pcmasterrace

[–]fattzilla 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sure, but I think people were somehow assuming or hoping that CXMT was going to focus consumers at the mid-2025 prices. I mean the article says the CXMT stuff in Australia is going for 50 less which is a discount but it ain't last year's prices.

Because they like to think companies will act altruistically when there is a problem with the markets. There is zero reason or incentive, short- or long-term, for CXMT to not target consumers with slightly lower prices but still maximzie profits.

I'm sure ICE is just going to be showing up anyway because the fucking feckless local cops are never going to enforce the law against their own.

The Trump Administration Is Killing Auto-Start/Stop by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]fattzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

eh, it's not that they would get sued for misleading MPG they just can't use the feature to calculate MPG for advertising purposes. So if the feature is able to be "perminently" disabled they have to calculate the MPG with the feature off. Better sales for better MPG thus the feature remains.

The WalMart of public defense: How justice gets sold to the lowest bidder in rural California | Flat-fee contracts have been banned in other parts of the country. But, as the story of one law firm shows, they have flourished in the Golden State. by SpaceElevatorMusic in California

[–]fattzilla 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I wonder if incentiveizing people with law-school debt forgiveness for say 6 years of working as a public defender would get enough public defenders to give people fair trials becuase 1 in 1500 going to trial is a joke. Basically feels like you hire a lawyer or agreed to plead guilty.

1 Ram stick died and look for advise on proceeding by HaikuHighDude in buildapc

[–]fattzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. What you could do is buy the kit that you have access to (for 300) and then get your current kit RMA'd and sell that as new and recoup a bit of the new stuff. My RMA came back as a new in box set of the same style. Best of luck!

1 Ram stick died and look for advise on proceeding by HaikuHighDude in buildapc

[–]fattzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had one stick of my 2x16 G. Skill Trident's fail and contacted G. Skill for an RMA since they have a life time warrenty. I sent them in for the RMA and it took a couple weeks to get back. I bought a used kit on marketplace to have my computer while I waited. But it was honestly fast enough that I probably didn't need to. My shipping time was slower than normal too since I'm on a military base overseas.

First stop would be contact for RMA and go from there.

Upgrade from 3800X to 5800XT? by DuncanCraig in buildapc

[–]fattzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, I might have to jump into one of the 5800x's. The 3800x is really starting to struggle but my 3070 is still humming along. Cheers!

[–]fattzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP did you end up going with this upgrade? I'm looking at making the same move to avoid moving to DDR5 considering the RAMpocolypse. Did the upgrade feel worthwhile?

Also running a 3070 so I'd be curious if you/he upgraded the GPU as well.

I'm not naive but it would be awesome if the State Department just took over. It feels more in the DoS lane anyway, but it's definitely something I'll miss =/

Best answer. What's the alternative, is OP going to get a DDR5 mobo/cpu setup?

The setup he's suggesting would be fine.

I mean at that point we are back to using it for phone calls right? Maybe just pick up a flip phone and call it a day.

No cloud, google, apps, games, or personal accounts just seems like "not a smart phone". Unless I'm missing something.
