  • Except they’re not ramping up production. On the contrary they’re reducing production in places.

    There will be no glut of surplus supply resulting in cheap prices because the hardware companies making the hardware for AI are the only ones actually profiting off the industry and they don’t want to be the ones left holding the bag when the bubble bursts.

  • Half of planned US data center builds have been delayed or canceled, growth limited by shortages of power infrastructure and parts from China — the AI build-out flips the breakers

  • Amazon and Google and basically all of FAANG/MAMA beg to differ.

    But it was not a collapse of the industry.

    I mean they don’t beg to differ at all and it absolutely collapsed. The result of which is the reason why FAANG as an acronym exists. FAANG is the resulting consolidation of the industry made possible by its widespread collapse.

  • GOG lets you download installers for all your games that you can back up somewhere so that you can install and run their DRM free games without GOG or even an internet connection. It’s like back when games came on cd/dvd.

    Steam is DRM so in most cases you can’t launch any of your games without the Steam client. Steam does sell some games that are DRM free on Steam, but you still need the Steam client to install them.

    So the difference here is that you can use GOG to build your own library of DRM free games that don’t need GOG at all. if GOG ceased to exist, you can still install and play all your games on any device you want.

    If Steam ceased to exist, you’d have no way to install your games on any device so you’d only be able to play the games you currently have installed, and only if they’re DRM Free.

  • How do you document your setup?

    Jump

  • If you have a mix of different systems both on-prem and cloud, and tie them together in various ways using VPNs, mesh or otherwise, create a graph using something like Excalidraw to give yourself a refresher on how everything connects. You want machines, hostnames, IPs, ports, and a list of services. You don’t have to be fancy by creating visual representations of each service, just a bulleted list. You only really have to update this when adding or removing compute.

    If you’re running services on lots of different nodes, a spreadsheet that just maps services to whatever URL you use access them, to whichever backend server is running them. This takes minimum effort and gets you 90% of the way there.

  • Oracle cutting thousands in latest layoff round as company continues to ramp AI spending

    Jump

  • These jobs aren’t being lost due to efficiency increases from AI. They’re being lost because Oracle wants to build more AI Datacenters and can’t afford to. Banks stopped fronting them money to do so, so they’ve laid all these employees off the increase capital.

  • Sony Shuts Down Nearly Its Entire Memory Card Business Due to SSD Shortage

  • What changed which make their existing line go down.

    Costs go up, but they can’t raise the price anymore. This makes line go down.

    Aren't they building the RAM they sell?

    No they don’t. Sonys semiconductor subsidiary makes image sensors, not the type of RAM that goes into a PlayStation for example.

  • What they mean by unsustainable is that for the price it costs them to stock these means selling them to consumers at the existing price would not make any money, and the amount of money they’d have to raise the prices by in order for it to be profitable would stop consumers from buying it altogether.

    Essentially, there’s no way to sell them to consumers in a way that will make money. Therefore they have to sell to big corporate customers in order to make any money at all. These companies are not lacking in corporate greed, but in this case there’s literally no other option.

  • Idk man I’ve been a PC gamer for decades, and in my long career in IT have been a subject matter expert on both Linux and Windows systems and this is just straight up cope.

    Drivers and compatibility issues and such are much better now than they were 15 years ago, but at the end of the day you buy a console and you get a guaranteed 8-10 years of running every game with zero problems. Thats something we will never, ever get on PC. It’s just not possible.

  • It’s more cost efficient, and less of a headache to deal with anomalous problems like bugs and driver issues that can be as specific to your unique combination of PC hardware.

    I recently bought RE Requiem and updated my graphics card drivers for it. They introduced a bug that would stop 2/3 of my GPUs fans from spinning at random. People who bought that game and played it on their PS5 didn’t have that problem.
