I think Meta has a good idea. If I ever get a 5090 I'm going to setup my computer outside in a tent too, so I won't burn my house down if the cable melts. 😁

The free Copilot lets me upload 10kb of text in my prompts. While (paid) GitHub Copilot will look through at least 500kb of text. I wonder how Copilot would have done if it wasn't just prompted to play chess, but given summaries of how to play, and the rules. To remind it. I also wonder how...

Interesting. But the story doesn't answer what everyone should be wondering. Was the patent infringement legitimate? Or was the original court case filed in West Texas by patent trolls?

Great news! Maybe he can buy a new jacket? 🤔

Wouldn't it be great if the government took over control of GPU production? Then nothing would be sent to China. Russia would get what they need. Every state could contribute to the program. We'd have 16gb 5060 ti's for $2000. 😃

So what this means is... I need to buy one of these and game more in the winter to heat my house. 😃

I sold my Oculus Rift DK2 on eBay a couple months before the new version came out. Somehow it sold for 20% less than I paid for it new, to a bidder in China. He agreed to pay the extra shipping (it was a lot), and I mailed it. Weeks later it finally got delivered to him, I got paid, and I never...

Is this almost as much of a hassle for business as the EU Supply Chain Act? Which requires European companies to ensure human rights and environmental standards throughout their global supply chains, potentially leading to civil liability and fines for non-compliance.

But how many years will it take miners in friendly countries to complete all of their environmental assessments, regulatory approvals, and defeat legal challenges from locals upset about increased traffic? 🤔

Isn't 28nm ancient technology? Is that even covered by sanctions? 🤔

Microsoft tried with their Windows phone. They even bought Nokia. But their OS was missing a lot of the apps Android and iOS had. Intel also tried to profit from phones, they had a mobile processor out for a year or two before giving up. I think Asus had it in their original Zenfone.

Does this mean Intel gets paid the grant money right now? Or will they get the money some time after going bankrupt? 🤔

Kind of a mean response from Gemini, but it's not wrong...

Doritos should absolutely get CHIPS money. I don't want the Chinese making my Doritos and cutting off the supply during a trade war. Or worse, replacing my beloved Sweet Chili Heat flavor with something weird like Green Tea. 😮
