Is the Dough Spectrum One a true Studio Display competitor? (9to5Mac)

This article violates Rule One of the internet. Rule One, though, is Never read the comments, and the only interesting part of this article is the comments, which point out:

1. This is only a 4K monitor, not 5K like Apple's Studio Display.
2. This uses LG's 4K LCD panel, which while quite good is available in much cheaper monitors, including from LG.
3. "Dough" is a respin of the the company "Eve" which is infamous for never shipping products customers paid for, and seven times never issuing refunds.

Humble Bundle is offering 38 Discworld books for $18 though apparently only in the US because the site tells me to piss off.
Text and voice chat company Discord is laying off 17 percent of its staff. (The Verge)

A thing of the past indeed.
Google also laid off about a thousand staff and closed its Mountain View daycare center. (SF Gate)

Just call this year 2023B and be done with it.
AMD has revealed its next generation desktop CPUs which are a mix of current generation and previous generation chips. (AMD)

Which doesn't mean they are bad, but Zen 5 isn't expected until near the end of the year; these are Zen 4 and Zen 3 chips.

The Ryzen 8000 range consists of laptop chips, bringing much better integrated graphics to AMD's desktop platform - up to twelve graphics cores instead of two.

And the new entries in the Ryzen 5500 range bring lower prices - six cores for $125, or eight cores with the X3D expanded cache for $249. They also support cheaper DDR4 memory, so they're great for budget-oriented builds.

9 Gonna be a tough day, folken. I get home yesterday and find a note from the apartment "management" (should be "derangement") on my door. A peremptory notice that I am in default, somehow, to the tune of $422. No explanation, just a form letter threat that in five days they'll throw me in the street. I'll call them this morning. The place where they sit all day -- in competent places it would be called an office -- closes at the stroke of five p.m., so getting there this afternoon is a strain.

$422? If I'd missed a rent payment (I haven't, unless they lost my check) it would be more than that. They've made errors before: Once they said I owed for a covered parking space, but I pointed out that I'd never had such a thing, and they admitted their error. We'll see.

Then Monday is a high of -5 and Tuesday a high of -4.

32 IG, we are similarly situated, in a rather protected valley. Unfortunately, yesterday's weather system was quite large and we didn't escape as well as usual. Higher elevations were hit much harder though.

I know. If my rent were equal to that, I'd say maybe they lost my check. But it's not -- and then there's the additional $2.00. I checked my lease, and I have been paying the amount on it, a round number, right along. Where could they have gotten the $2.00?

This place is a dump, and the staff are probably all expecting to be fired if the city condemns the property and gets ready to demolish it. If no one buys it, that is, and who would. So they are doing the absolute minimum every day.

I am so ready to retire and move.

175 One of the big clues to me that Denver was getting to be a traditional blue city was when they moved to only plowing main thoroughfares, and then abandoned the medium-to-large surface streets. It's just highways and highway-designated surfaces now.

When the mile-high city could no longer manage proper snow removal, it had fully transitioned to the corpse-eater model of government.

200 Ramaswamy obviously isn't a career politician. I imagine if anyone here was to run for "elected" office their plain spoke language about issues, their opponents, the media would be similar to Vivek's. He's nothing if not observant of things and says exactly what he thinks about things.

Politicians and the media are in an incestuous relationship based on denial.

Yes, but then you'd have Discworld novels.

I do not understand the adulation Pratchett gets, especially among otherwise conservative readers. All of his books boil down to "I'm much, much smarter than everyone else, and here's why English-style socialism is best".
