  • Quantum Computing is still climbing the slope from TT to the Peak of Inflated Expectations. There is still little to no major hype, as its still in “R&D/testing” it is slow, it is expensive (Very) limited due to all the surrounding tech required to make it work like cooling, containment etc…

    Compare this to AI.

    AI is at and heading down from the Peak towards the Trough of Disillusionment. It was easy (relatively) to implement, easy to evolve as how nVidia did, simply throw more silicon at it. The Hype was easy to generate because even while totally misinformed, media and other people out there thought they could easily sell it. Even though most of what they claimed was turd, it sounded amazing and a game changer even in the early stages, and businesses lapped it up. Now they are feeling the pain, and seeing that there are still major hurdles to get past.



  • Was that price change overnight? Like its $14 today, and last week it was only $5?

    I’d find it very hard to believe that a change of $9 at a shit sandwich shop would happen overnight. But lets call it $2 per year, that means it was from 2020 and that doesn’t make sense either.

    Lets call it $1 a year, with a covid bump in 2019. That would be from ~2016, with a bump in 2019, and assuming that this year is not included since you have not completed you fiscal year yet in the US. So that is a change over 8 years.







  • Fuck firefox. Are you sheep just going to ignore all the shit they put you through, and didn’t even explain themselves?

    Firefox is a shitshow, I don’t care “how good they are now”. If you don’t remember how bad they treated you circa 2012, then fuck off groupie wanker.

    Firefox is where they are for a good reason, they cannot be trusted. Only wankers keep promoting them.

    I hate this guy with a passion. He is not intelligent, but hell he sure likes to speak down to you like his shit doesn’t stink.

    Speaking of dishwashers, this is the last thing you should be listening about from him, given the shitshow of a video he made which even had Bosch and other manufacturers contact him and tell him how incorrect he was.


  • This is not really a story, is it.

    I worked for an Australian company, that was bought by an American company. Instantly we were required to do business as per American law, such as embargo’s. We lost many customers (businesses) that honestly had nothing to do with the actual reason for the embargos. For example Iran has an American embargo because of nuclear refinement, but we just wanted to sell “knives and forks” to them. Nope - they might use those forks in their refinement centrifuges… This is what happens (but also why embargos work).

    Kaspersky is Russian owned, so the hacks were discovered by Russian [whitehat] hackers. I’ll bet that Apple had no ability to do “business” with the company, even if it wanted to, since Russia is currently under embargo due to the Ukraine conflict.

    Now if Kaspersky spent time undermining it’s own failure of a government, and putting an end to its dictatorship, things would probably work out better for everyone in Russia.
