Still well into positive job growth, inflation has been going down pretty rapidly, and the growth of manufacturing in the USA is rapidly increasing. AI will cause a huge shift in labor skill requirements while overall increasing productivity and reducing costs. I think the times are probably set...

They lost me when they made the comparison to Apple. I think Apple has been over priced since the first Mac came out, or really even before the IIGS. Fully made in America products will be more competitively priced when AI and robots do most of the labor. Humans in the developed world stuffing...

Then my Newegg searches are broken because I've been checking daily for weeks and there is never anything cheaper than about $800 unless you count open box items. I just checked and still 799.99 for new anything other than open box items. Extremely limited availability, very over priced, and...

So missing unused folders on Windows enable security vulnerabilities. Makes sense...

I've wanted an AMD GPU for months now. I check pricing and availability almost daily. I either can't find anything I want, or they're priced far above MSRP. Granted I'm a pretty lazy buyer and somewhat willing to wait, but in the meantime scalpers just buy most everything in sight and sell it...

Well if the RX 9070 XT actually existed as an in stock item anywhere near MSRP. What really exists are over priced scalper items or rare limited stock at brick and mortar stores still usually over priced. Nvidia needs some real competition for their catch on fire or melt your cables selection.

Just another post block by stupid AI moderation. I can't be bothered to try and retype a post because AI is worried about hurt feelings or unsafe words.

GPU sales lag behind because you can't get them. Months now with almost nothing but scalper pricing and news articles about new models being released. MSRP and actual prices are so far apart it's hard to justify buying a new GPU. This will all be a lot easier when a factory can be run mostly by...

I've been swearing at Windows since 1992 when I was installing Windows 3.1 off floppy disks and it wouldn't read the last disk.

Wasn't hard to see this coming for anyone actually watching. The USA's over reliance on China started in the 1990's and by the 2000's US manufacturing was already suffering devastating losses. Cheap labor, almost no regulatory burden, and absurd trade policies outsourced manufacturing all over...

What did China expect was going to happen when they tried to play tough and cut off rare earth exports to the the USA? For one thing the USA has rare earth and also has an administration that won't tie the hands of industry with regulations that prohibit utilizing those resources. They just...

Entire rant eliminated by (probably) AI moderation deeming my sarcasm "inappropriate or some nonsense" no matter how tame I tried to dumb down the language. AI has no sense of humor. gaming pc power requirements....

"according to the Gelsinger's post." according to Gelsinger's post. "we do cannot really guess" we cannot really guess. Also the grammar, sentence structure, and comma placements make it look like it was typed up rather quickly before coffee kicked in or lack of sleep. :)

Very good info. The bulbs in my office and work area are Sylvania TruWave which I really like. I didn't know about the Soraa bulbs so I will have to check those out. Thanks.

When will we see red LED technology so we can stop ruining our eye health? With LED technology replacing most indoor lighting our exposure to a one sided light spectrum all day long (unless you take more frequent breaks outdoors for real sunlight exposure) is literally ruining most people's...
