all Tinder cares about is keeping you swiping, with your eyes on the screen.

Before that it was ‘big data’. remember that?

every 5 or so years the media needs some new tech to hype up to get people paranoid

Exactly. It will lead to improved automation for industrial processes but it won’t ever be a consumer tech other than improving your siri results.

It won’t replace jobs, anymore than industrial robots in factories replace them.

‘big data’ ‘crypto’ etc.

AI is just the next ‘big thing’ that amounts to nothing. 90% of what anyone says in the press/media is total nonsense. And most AI researchers are downplaying the hype because they know it’s all bullshit and AI will ultimately not be a major change anymore than navigation systems in cars was. It is merely convenience and those that ‘rely’ on it will end up in trouble.

It’s a complementary technology, not a revolution.

same here. i can pay 120 for cable tv and internet at 250mbps, or 100 for internet that is 50mbps.

but my town is a monopoly. i have zero other internet/cable choices.

When i was in school in the 2000s file sharing basically crippled the campus network until it was banned. A few bad actors were hoarding all the bandwidth and storing copyright violation stuff on school servers.

It’s the protocols more than anything.

stuff with this speeds existed already, it just wasn’t via USB. it was expensive proprietary protocols and hardware and cables. USB is an open standard design for consumer use, and not for giant corps with datacenters who can pay $2,000 for a single data cable.

Thunderbolt is basically a data-transfer focused version of USB, and just requires a different controller that supports the new protocols to achieve the higher speeds.

multiplexing is one way to achieve higher bandwidth and throughput over the same physical cable.

yeah, cats bury their shit. they don’t shit on grass and leave it exposed.

only time cats shit in the open is to prove a point. OP probably pissed off this cat

Microsoft already had this trial back in the 2001.

Exactly. This is like the biggest problem with today’s society. Everyone thinks they are unique and sigificant… you are not.

The dirty erotic fan fic stories you wrote when you were 14 aren’t going to ruin your life if they are found. What will ruin your life is when you find out how little anyone gives a fuck about you.

Tildes has a single admin who bans anyone they mildly disagree with.

I don’t get why containers are integrated into the browser yet. Brilliant add-in

No, i don’t. I don’t have a home lab or a self host. I have a mac laptop at home and nothing else.

my job is at my job. I don’t bring it home.

I’m an IT professional but I find most IT communities to be full insufferable people and full of useless and irrelevant information on obscure systems and practices that don’t apply to the average IT job which is sys admining windows/linux/mac.

Would love a community that was chill and not full of people trying to one up one another about how amazing they are or how hardcore their lab is.

It was fun. It was creative. it was free. It was optimistic and people were pretty chill.

Now the internet is all abotu the bottom line. 90% of the traffic/people on it are bots and scams from malicious people trying to make a easy buck by fucking over people.

yeah it’s kind of gross how ‘thirsty’ some posters are for spamming content across multiple instances.

I pay $120/mo for 150mbps service. I live in Cambridge MA and have only zero choices for ISP other than this one, Comcast.

cool. i can say from experience most women I have ever met do not play video games.

There are countries with way better CEO to work pay ratios. But in the USA we act like it’s totally normal to have these huge wealth gaps, when in reality they are recent phenonemon and the only other era they were repeated was the gilded age which resulted in a decades long depression that was only ended by a world war.

No, they don’t. Most people squander what they are given and are bitter about not being given more which thy would also squander.
