  • At this point, we should just go back to cold war footing as if Russia, China, and North Korea reformed into a new Soviet Union. They’re realigning themselves and we should get prepared for any eventualities.

    After all, the Axis powers didn’t face a prepared allied force, but we now have NATO and the US’ island chain containment of China and North Korea. The former Soviet pact will have a greater uphill struggle to defeat the western world order than the Axis did.

    But we’re always going to have trade with China up until the very last moment, and China likewise seems to not be keen on jeopardizing on trade, so there is hope yet that China doesn’t stick their neck out for Russia.

    Oh and besides, Nazi Germany enjoyed far better parity on military technology than Russia ever will now.


  • Tbf, Mozilla isn’t about Firefox anymore. They are focused on privacy everything, and are apparently going to do lots of important and foundational work in AI because it’s the next new frontier (and they’re right).

    They aren’t going to abandon Firefox, far from it. As the only other competitor to Chromium, they’re going to continue to promote privacy online, but they’re not going to make Firefox their core development either.


  • Most of Ryzen performance can be achieved from just 65 / 88 / 105 / 142 watts, tune down the power limit to run cooler and avoid the expensive and risky AIO. Intel scales better with more power, but they really can give GPUs a run for their money in power consumption.

    Nvidia GPUs for AI are only so good when you still have available VRAM. Once AMD Radeon ROCm is released for use on Windows, or if you’re willing to get on Linux, Radeon GPUs can still prove just as fast as Nvidia on the price/performance curve.

    Avoid getting anything faster than PCIe 3.0 for games. DirectStorage isn’t here yet and memory manufacturers have started selling off PCIe 3.0 NVMe devices on the cheap.
