    When HBO Max and Discovery+ merge, they’ll have a new name

    I believe what we're seeing is that progression from Idiocracy that slowly transforms Fuddruckers

    PC workstation crams monitors, chair, speakers into one ostentatious orb

    I mean a normal desk/office is nice but I think we can all acknowledge we've secretly wanted to work inside a hollowed out Godzilla egg

    PC workstation crams monitors, chair, speakers into one ostentatious orb

    I don't see any mention of how it handles human waste. What's the point of such a device if I have to leave it for mundane bodily functions? Cooler Master, sort this out.

    Elizabeth Holmes sentenced to 11.25 years in prison for Theranos fraud

    Late to the party but.... It's an adaquate amount of time. I think too many people get wrapped up in the idea of extended prison sentences being inherently more "punitive". Reality is humans are pretty damn adaptable. On a long enough prison stint it just becomes routine. A shitty routine, but...

    Your chance of dying from a falling Chinese rocket? Less than 1 in a trillion

    Honestly if it's my time to go I'll take "smushed by rocket debris" over the far more likely "choked to death on flaming hot Cheeto" or similar that awaits me otherwise

    NASCAR driver stuns racing world with a move learned from Nintendo GameCube

    Came here hoping to see that he dropped a banana peel on the track to win the race but this is also kind of satisfying

    Doc who thinks vaccinated people are magnetic is in big trouble with med board

    Well this is going to save me a ton of time decommissioning old hard drives, didn't even realize I had this super power.

    Intel publishes Arc GPU specifications as their launch creeps ever-nearer

    This is a valid point and might be the real end game. I'm sure Uncle Sam would like to have a source of deep learning and AI gear designed AND built stateside with a US company owning the IP.

    Intel publishes Arc GPU specifications as their launch creeps ever-nearer

    This.... Just look at AMD during the early 2010s with Bulldozer/Piledriver.....they could nominally compete with Intel's midline products but not at a good value proposition so they either sold below profitable costs or at a bad cost per performance to the end user. And it almost killed the...

    Intel publishes Arc GPU specifications as their launch creeps ever-nearer

    I don't think it's going to do a lot of push the prices of enthusiast cards down. Figure there's a good chance these are largely destined to OEMs where grandparents buying their kid a computer so they can play Roblox and know the word Intel so assume it means a good thing can thrive. Not...

    Intel publishes Arc GPU specifications as their launch creeps ever-nearer

    Make no mistake I'd love having a proper third horse but this just looks pretty anemic for their efforts. There's just no way they can make this financially feasible because these cards are going to have to undercut AMD/Nvidia's -budget- cards to compete for consumer dollars. Unless they're...

    Twitter tells Musk his “purported termination” of merger deal is invalid

    This. Every site with a social media presence has a bot issue. Even comment sections. It'd be completely asinine to 1. Have the functional interest and knowledge to spend tens of billions on a company acquisition while 2. Having zero concept of one of their biggest challenges. Would be like...

    SpaceX starts testing its Super Heavy booster, and it’s “not good”

    Due to a common misunderstanding it was in fact loaded with lox and cream cheese

    Intel tries to get its chip manufacturing back on track with “Intel 4,” due in 2023

    I've waffled on the edges of being an "Intel Hater" over the years for some of their more nefarious business practices but reality is I still want to see them succeed....less so as a chip designer and more as a fab. Having a domestic US based fab operation is a fairly important thing in a world...

    Archaeologists find hidden chamber beneath ancient Peruvian temple

    Given the state of affairs, what are the odds these Old Gods have now been unleashed upon us, and if so, how much toilet paper should I stock up on?

    West Virgina’s Manchin stands in way of “ludicrous” EV tax credits

    Yep. Unfortunately. Manchin's motives might be...nay, are, suspect but the reality is -I- certainly can't buy a damn electric vehicle and -I- want one. Right now demand is outstripping supply so it doesn't make fiscal sense to subsidies people who can afford them at full cost. And frankly...

    “Transphobic” content and jokes removed from latest GTA V remasters

    King of the Hill said it well..... "Peggy, drag queens model themselves after strong, substantial, fearless women. Women who aren't afraid to wear purple gauchos and MC Hammer pants, women who only need one name to describe themselves, like Liza, Barbra, and Cher. You, my dear, are simply...
