    CDC vaccine panel realizes again it has no idea what it’s doing, delays big vote

    Just waiting for someone to stand up and shout that "vaccines got electrolytes." Idiocracy used to be hilarious. Now it's haunting.

    NASA really wants you to know that 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar comet

    All the discussion of trajectories and orbits in the article but nary a diagram to make the encounter unambiguous. Fortunately the NASA collection has a nice animation. As much as we worry about NEO's in closed orbits, it's interesting to note this passed within ~18 million miles of Mars. Close...

    Interplay co-founder and pioneering game developer Rebecca Heineman dies at 62

    Bard's Tale III was a big deal for me in my early gaming, on the Commodore 64 no less. If you are a fan of The Bard's Tale highly recommend the Remastered Trilogy. All the memories come rushing back. I also loved Dragon Wars on the Amiga, the early game was deliciously brutal. Thanks Rebecca...

    YouTube rolls out likeness detection to help creators combat AI fakes

    This seems rather heavy handed and prone to failure as it becomes a race for every creator to report on other channels who in turn might flip this on its head and report it the other way. Who's the original and who's the variant? I can also see some creators filling against any fair use just to...

    Most bizzare issue with two monitors

    You shouldn't have to deal with nonsense at this level. I'm not using the same card, but I've had 3 monitors a long time on DP with other computers (like my work laptop) onto HDMI inputs and never have an issue. I've had builds with either Nvidia or AMD cards and not had a problem. I would...

    Tape library has failed. Replace with a new tape library, or switch to external HD for backup?

    Keep at least one offsite, preferably two. 'Cause you never know.

    The Crackingdownening: Synology to restrict features on non-branded drives

    You do realize Synology just about-faced on this topic - so that's something. Sometimes consumer sentiment prevails. But only sometimes. https://meincmagazine.com/gadgets/2025/10/synology-caves-walks-back-some-drive-restrictions-on-upcoming-nas-models/

    ChatGPT will soon allow erotic chats for verified adults only

    The AI solution continues to ever so desperately find a problem that produces revenue. No bar is too low.

    Relocation of space shuttle Discovery may hinge on “Big Beautiful Bill”

    Something worth pointing out: As part of the Smithsonian, walking in to view Discovery is free. I would expect that for a world renown national icon. Space Center Houston, however, is $30-40 a head.

    Fruit flies can be made to act like miniature robots

    This was a thing in West World Season 4 if I recall.

    Nintendo explains why Switch 2 hardware and software prices cost so much

    I don't consider the $80 price point for a new 1st party Nintendo title totally out of the question, because inflation adjusted it still is a favorable deal from what games used to cost. Anyone who bought Zelda II or Final Fantasy III (VI) has those memories. Since Steam is the obvious...

    At GDC, Google promises more PC games on Android, more Android games on PC

    Nintendo has a few interesting mobile games including Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes, pretty sure they are going to opt out.

    Details on AMD’s $549 and $599 Radeon RX 9070 GPUs, which aim at Nvidia and 4K

    That's pretty rude, honestly. I did buy an AMD card after all, not sure why you're being so caustic about it.

    Details on AMD’s $549 and $599 Radeon RX 9070 GPUs, which aim at Nvidia and 4K

    The GRE is ~20% slower than an XT - so this feels like a light 7900XT refresh at best at the same price point (using current not launch pricing) 2 years later. AMD's own slide positions the 9070 in between the GRE and the XT/XTX. [4k] for XTX vs [4K+1440] for 9070 vs [1440 Only] for GRE Not...

    Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks

    Who'd a thunk that late stage capitalism is the Great filter to resolve Fermi's paradox? Make sure to get those overtime hours in kids! Someone else's ability to make lots more money depends on it!

    Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic

    Please not FF too. So it's official then. We're truly on the Orwellian 1984 timeline.

    Details on AMD’s $549 and $599 Radeon RX 9070 GPUs, which aim at Nvidia and 4K

    Pretty meh effort from AMD in my opinion. AMD has an opening here, especially considering Nvidia and their halo product supply fantasy. If only AMD could muster something a little more performant, perhaps 4090ish they'd flip the table on this whole market. I was assembling my first new build in...

    The US military is now talking openly about going on the attack in space

    I personally find it hilarious that US Space Force members seem to always wear camo. Granted most if not all of them aren't in space, but I doubt they are monitoring orbital movements while laying in shrubbery. I know why - military supply chain being what it is, but nonetheless still hilarious.
