Really genius time to build more AI datacenters. There are over 100 gigawatts of planned datacenters by 2030, and they're struggling to build anything right now due to component and power shortages.

A single gigawatt is a staggering amount of power, roughly enough to power 1 million homes.

This is surely a stock grift, but it seems kinda late for it. Aren't we already past the point where any random company can slap AI in their name and juice the stock price?

The massive audience for sequels, remakes and and reboots must be a symptom of the rot in America

I've always been surprised that big tech let cloudflare become such a load bearing part of the Internet without serious competition.

A vape designed for runners. It looks like a camelbak, but instead of water, its a vape hose.

One cool thing I learned in the video is that they didn't check for ID when Gamer Jesus rented a PC under a fake name. Just think that's a fun fact for anyone who needs a gaming PC

I wonder how much of this stuff is really useful, or is meant to portray them as scrappy underdogs in need of aid.

My old internet provider had a function on their website that would do something to fix your Internet connection from their end. I lost internet one day and went to use it, but they replaced the mobile version of their website with a page telling me to download the app. Fine, I'll download the app, which is clearly just a wrapper for the website. But for some reason you can't access that function through the app.

You can be a monopoly without being an illegal monopoly. Monopoly is when one company has an outsized market share, an illegal monopoly is when they use that market share to stifle competition.

Microsoft is a good target because they've been in the news for their culpability in the Solarwinds hacks. They managed to get off the hook at the time, placing the blame on their users, when they were absolutely at fault for it. The media bought Microsoft's bullshit deflections to the point that they still call it Solarwinds when referencing the hacks, even though it's clear now that MS should get much more of the blame. They had plenty of warning that their MFA system had a fundamental flaw and made a deliberate business decision to ignore it because they wanted to win a big government contract.

My guess is the media doesn't want to be fooled again, but I could be wrong about that.

None of the staff at my local hospital wears masks anymore. Haven't seen a single staff member wearing a mask in several recent visits.

We're in a rural area with low COVID numbers, but it's still incredibly frustrating having my doctor look at me as if I'm weird for wearing a mask.

Me, on my deathbed:

"My only regret is that I didn't spend more time online"
