Enshittification. WD bought out any competitors they could.

I would be down for some cajun-spiced KFC right now.

Very excited to see how Intel continues on their trajectory with Alchemist, and soon Battlemage.

Apples to oranges. The RTX 4080 competitor is the RX 7900 XTX. The RTX 4070 Ti competitor is the RX 7900XT.

Logically the next thing to come out is the competitor to the RTX 4070, and a direct market replacement for the RX 6900 series and RX 6800XT. That should be the RX 7800.

If anything, it’s NVIDIA that has confused everyone by hiking up prices and the naming scheme.

This one should have DDR5-7200 support assuming the AGESA updates are intended to match future JEDEC spec updates.

So it’s an underclocked RX 7600? Interesting choice.

Would be wild to have Intel Arc Battlemage as an option to slot in there.

Reverse engineering CUDA in a hardware solution is going to be quite the feat if they pull it off.

Oh it’s going to be bad. Really bad. Microsoft said over a billion people were using Windows 10 & 11, but the vast majority of those were on machines that already ran Windows 7/8.1 just fine (and may have been upgraded forcefully).

They tried once to limit hardware compatibility as Intel was switching over to 10th gen by giving people a cut-off point where new versions of Windows 10 would not work on hardware older than Intel 8th gen, but it was so poorly received that they walked it back (and did it with Windows 11 instead).

An actual EOL is going to be very tough to pull off because everyone expects their computers to last more than three years now.

That will see more increases over time, especially as Windows 10 EOL approaches.

For the longest time Twitter has been reportedly a fantastic place to work at, and they had some great engineers who would never be lured away to other companies for any amount of money.

Except for the unlikely scenario where Twitter is circling the drain and Meta comes in with an offer to build a competitor from scratch using all the tools at their disposal.

I feel like most of the useful Linux stuff just got yeeted from forums and into Reddit. If there’s nothing in the Arch wiki that’s easy to follow it’s a trying time to find answers that relate to your issue that are also up to date.

Sheesh, imagine being a fly on that wall now.

I work for an online retailer for computer components. Reddit helped/helps give me perspective of what people think about tech products, what they’re looking to buy, and I used it to keep up with the news in the hardware-focused subreddits. Reddit’s community is sufficiently large enough that there are opinions you can read from enthusiasts to homelabbers to people who don’t know what to do when Windows screws up their Radeon Software installation.

As a former technical writer, it helps fill in gaps about things I don’t know enough about, like where people on lower budgets actually choose to spend their money in a build, and whether or not the RTX 4060 is actually terrible, as opposed to it not meeting expectations of an audience that it’s not aimed at.

After today’s update, Lemmy runs like a dream. Happy with my move. I only use Reddit for work and in a desktop browser now.
