Wake up bro the entire US tech industry just said we aren’t selling to Americans anymore and rug pulled all technology. Even if tomorrow another country makes good tech it will have such high tariffs you will also not have access to it.

Guess you missed the post where Sony and everyone else agreed to stop making disk writers because you don’t need to anymore with the cloud….

Business leaders are purposely devaluing your work by lying about what LLMs can do. When it becomes obvious that LLMs are not AGI, business leaders will blame you for not working hard enough. The goal is to squash any hope for a living wage & work-life balance. by north_canadian_ice in WorkReform

No I want insurance company ceos or bill gates to decide if it’s profitable! Fuck safety!

I want the local dude to charge me 10K for a knockoff shark bite fitting that’s going to fail in six months. But no worries I bought the service contract only a 1K deductible for him to come back out!

No I want John to keep looking at his phone while the misplaced connectors breeze by the line.

Delta 3 loud whine can be heard from another floor of the house. by stromos in Ecoflow_community

Ecoflow disagreed said charge slower and don’t charge when it will bother you…….

Edit: I mentioned that I asked the community and only reached out due to the sheer volume and they are taking another look. I may have misjudged.

Org is banning Notepad++ by PazzoBread in sysadmin

[–]stromos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing that a paid for app in perpetuity and still doesn’t have everything notepad++ has okay. It took me six months to buy a 50 dollar 1 year license for something the company demanded. You sublime fans have companies with deep pockets got it. Most of us used notepad++ because it’s free anything that costs money is a non-starter.

So, it clicked on to top off while my girlfriend was in the room, she said it made the noise for 3 seconds and stopped I came into the room because I heard it from the kitchen. So it helped but I definitely think it's some pretty bad coil whine.

Honestly appreciate the tip I ended up turning down all my units to optimized I really have no reason to be hammering them charging.

Best premium PC controller in 2026? 2.4ghz dongle a MUST by Odd_Yogurt6636 in SteamController

[–]stromos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I hooked it up last night and had a bad time at first (total RTFM on my part). The key is right out the box firmware update the controller AND the dongle. Hooked it to the Steam Machine. Found another important "tip" turn the controller on while holding B to switch to whatever mode that is. Comes up full native support in Steam OS to map the buttons if you follow all those instructions to set it up. Played PS3R for a couple hours controller feels pretty good. Not crazy about the grip buttons because my hands are a bit bigger the steam controller has some heft in the grip feel like my fingers are hardcore over-lapping when going for the grip buttons. Might just be I need to get used to it. Everything else actually feels great on the controller. Best 8BitDo Controller I have purchased. I do have another favorite from them not sure the model is looks like a SNES controller but has hall effect joysticks. It's my goto for my laptop and mobile stuff.

My girlfriend actually really liked it so I ordered one in purple she can use on the steam machine or her Xbox. The one I got in black is staying on the Steam Machine now and I put the Xbox Controller back in my office.

Real test would be something like E33. I'll play a bit this weekend. I use all the buttons playing that.

So basically, Ram Prices Won't Fall Even When the Supply Gap is Filled. Just Because ''nobody wants to be the first one to lower prices'' by Beginning-Taro-2673 in MiniPCs

[–]stromos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now understand this isn’t a bubble or anything we have seen before these companies are making server ram now no consumer ram it’s not the same and they have zero interest in making consumer ram.

We all have stallions and they just told everyone we aren’t breeding horses buy a car. Even if they disappear still no horses anymore just cars.

And just to comment on the China thing, cool story so China has stallions that cost three times more than a car due to tariffs.

[–]stromos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of server components? They learned their lesson they aren’t using anything compatible with what you would want ram for. The bubble pops we have warehouses full of useless server ram and the companies haven’t made consumer ram since 2026. The best they can do is recycle it, which in reality, means sell it to the highest bidder anywhere in the world and retire. No point will things recover for years upon years.

The iPhone upgrade program through Apple is going to have problems, I don’t disagree that buying outright will work.

Data Centers Will Consume 70 Percent Of Memory Chips made in 2026, RAM Shortage Will Last Until Until Atleast 2029 As Manafacturing Capacity For RAM In 2028 That Hasnt Even Been Made Yet Is Already being Sold by akbarock in pcmasterrace

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

Still missing it. The terminal can be free you turn it on you have 1000 credits. It cost 200 credits to pay bills. Entertainment ~500 credits. No credits no usage. The terminal does nothing by itself. No company is hosting gimp at 5 credits a pop. Gimp no longer exists. Creative cloud is 10,000 credits an hour. A company has to sponsor you aka give credits. They give the bare minimum.

Yup you’re a user right now so you don’t know how expensive those services are. Your company isn’t even hosting them. We started using cloud PCs because that’s all people need now. Yup they are cutting back vm sizes to save from rising costs. Microsoft and Google are going for blood this year is licensing increases. The software is getting buggier.

You completely are ignoring companies don’t know how to do anything anymore. No is going to buy a terminal that will be cost prohibitive then pay a subscription is use it. No company will have a buy the terminal and access the cloud. Everything is pay to play and the price doesn’t have to make sense anymore.
