Top Story

Don't buy an Nvidia video card. (Tom's Hardware)

Because the leaks have already started for the upcoming 5000 Super family of cards, which are only very slightly faster but have 50% more memory.

Upgrading the 5070 from a middling 12GB of RAM to 18GB makes it a solid product that will likely last for years. The same goes for the 5070 Ti, already fairly good with 16GB of RAM, if somewhat overpriced; with 24GB it becomes a high-end model that is not going to easily become obsolete.

If you weren't inclined to pay that much in the first place, AMD's 9060 XT is still the pick of the litter, with 16GB cards going for less than an 8GB 5060 Ti.

Reddit made a deal to sell its content to AI companies for training. Now it's being spammed by AI bots. (9to5Mac)
Multiple ad agency execs confirmed to the FT that they are indeed "posting content on Reddit to boost the likelihood of their ads appearing in the responses of generative AI chatbots."
Tragedy of the commons on speed-dial.
Trying out a low-end previous-generation AMD server. (Serve the Home)

It's 2025, so a "low-end previous-generation" server has 64 cores.
In a welcome change, companies promoting AI in new products are finding it can make customers less likely to buy. (MSN)

Now they just need to stop putting AI in their products entirely.

I watched a bit of that but then had to go to work. The cops can't stop it and the governor won't mobilize the National Guard to pacify the area.

50 Unintended Consequences Dept.: Recently the state finished and opened a toll bridge (replacing a 1960s tunnel) to a suburban town. People who live down there never asked for a bridge, let alone a toll. For them it's only .25 each way, but for non-residents it's over a dollar, and if you're towing a boat it's more. A local restaurant owner, finding his business from that parish is way down, is offering to take the toll amount off your bill.

There's an alternate, non-toll and non-bridge route to get to the suburb. I've known about it for years (though I rarely have reason to go down there), and I'm sure the locals down there do too. Now it's going to be jammed with cars and trucks. Thanks, Lousy-ana.

Either way, the wife taking over the job is fantastically tacky. I know "name recognition" is a big deal, but feckin' hell, Michigan. Why not just vote for his car or his dog, it's the same clique of scumbags pulling the marionette wires anyway.

Actually, Dingell, Sr. was 1933-1955 and Dingell, Jr. was 1955-2015. So, nearly a century of Dingells.

115 30 Rapper at Glastonbury music festival leads chant of " death to the IDF".
Posted by: Ben Had at June 30, 2025 05:26 AM (HFcKg)

I watched a Sargon of Akkad episode on YouTube yesterday about this.

The name of the punk-rap duo is “Bob Vylan”.

They also sang a song in their set that was about “You’re not taking your country back” aimed at Brits who, like Tommy Robinson, are fed up with immigration.

The singer also led the crowd on chants of “Death to the IDF” and said “From the River to the Sea will happen” while the vastly white, middle class, audience repeated everything he said back to him.

People are not pleased that the BBC aired this group live around the country.

I listened to a little of the music and their rap + punk sounds just about as horrible as you’d imagine.

I’m not ette but I know Nautica makes some really big umbrellas that might as well be called parasols.

They’re probably made in China but at least Nautica has reliable quality control and a warranty probably.
