Bending Spoons (who?) has bought dying video platform Vimeo for $1.38 billion. (Petapixel)

Bending Spoons bought Filmic - maker of camera app Filmic Pro - in 2022 and subsequently laid off the company's entire staff.
Intel has confirmed Arrow Lake Refresh chips for Socket 1851 next year, to be followed almost immediately by Nova Lake on Socket 1954. (Tom's Hardware)

So while AMD's Socket AM5 will see Zen 4, Zen 5, and Zen 6, plus the in-between APU generations, currently limited to the Ryzen 8000 range.

Where Intel's Socket 1851 will see... Arrow Lake.
Lenovo has announced the 12.1" Idea Tab Plus for $270, which seems to slot in between the 11" Idea Tab and the 12.7" Idea Tab Pro. (Liliputing)

This market segment is getting just a wee bit overcrowded, it seems to me.

My Idea Tab arrived today. I was looking at buying the pen for it, but it seems to be both expensive and hard to find. Turns out it comes with a pen.

I'll get it set up this weekend and post a quick review of both it and the Legion Tab.

Is an old LCD monitor toxic? Can I just put the old one in the trash?

I don't cotton to the "assassin was a pro" theory, too much. I think it was just some leftist jerkoff with a little training and a lot of luck. Just like thomas crooks would've been if he had been successful.

However...

Patrick Bet-David floated a "possibility" that, if, IF, a left-wing counterpart is assassinated soon, then we should open to the possibility this is an "outside" actor, i.e., a foreign agent, to cause a political civil war in the USA.

chinese, indians, whoever -- create another 2020 scenario to get Trump out of power.
Lots of foreign countries have Motive to try something like this -- and our CIA is Useless.

16 Seems like the shooter must be a member of some kind of militia. Gun skills; stealth and planning skills in getting to the sniper perch; a network to get him invisibly vamoosed. Maybe local, familiar with the campus. Maybe paid for this by people not of his ideology?

There’s some shitposting going on, but I’ve gotten a very rapid education that the left in general thought of Kirk as a major villain. Bigger than we think of actual DC elected Dems. Waaaay out of order of his actual footprint. It’d be like if Ace and Insty and Greg Gutfeld started talking daily about the Krassensteins or something.

Earlier this year, SPLC named TPUSA the official resurrection of the actual Nazi Party. Yes, really. This was relatively widely discussed in mainstream lefty circles at the time and got zero notice from conservatives.

Less than a week ago Jezebel, the feminist website, ran an article about sending money to witches on Etsy to put a curse on Charlie Kirk. You’d think they were making shit up for content and they’d pull the article, but nope. After he died yesterday they reposted the article and gloated that it worked.

29 This certainly feels like the start of the hot war.

My 82-year old mother had no idea who Charlie Kirk was. She messaged me and asked me why everyone was making such a big deal about it....because my idiot, ultra-woke niece told her that Kirk was a racistnazihomphobeJesusFreak. I suppressed my rage long enough to try to set her straight (honestly, I wasn't a follower of Kirk, but I was aware of him).
Then I ripped my niece to shreds, verbally. We'll never speak again.

34 Charlie Kirk was murdered because he was consequential and was making a difference, he was changing things through the evangelization of conservative thought and ideology, especially to the youth.

He is literally a martyr for the cause.

35
Democrat's assassin was already 600 feet away when he murdered Charlie Kirk. Asssasin was already gone by the time people knew what happened.

Assassin wasn't among the crowd. He was far enough way to pack up and walk off campus before any "search" could mobilize.

Doesn't take a "professional" to accomplish that.

38 I don't think the shooter gets caught.
Posted by: Thomas Bender

In the 1990s during the peak of the eco-terrorism wave it took months for the FBI to track down the perps but eventually they got them. For the most part, the FBI did this while a tight lip support group covered up and protected the perps.

Today is different. There is so much camera surveillance it is impossible that the assassin(s) we're not caught on camera either on campus or while accessing the campus. Toss in electronic footprints and it becomes a matter of time. I would not be surprised if it takes months, maybe longer, for law enforcement to figure out who pulled off this assassination, but eventually they will.

It is a rare thing to pull off a political assassination and get away clean. One case was a federal prosecutor who was assassinated in Seattle while inside his house. The FBI pursued that one into the ground and they got down to one guy but they never could make the case. And then there's Kennedy assassination; It seems that you need the CIA to pull that off and get away with it while in plain sight.

In the meantime we've got a Bleeding Kansas type situation happening now it seems.

39 Skip, that is true, but the fact that my niece blatantly lied about h to her gullible grandmother pushed me over the edge. My mother, God bless her, is a kind but naive woman. Politically, she still thinks it's the 70's and the Democrats are for the "working man".

On another note...the morbidly obese governor of Illinois blamed Trump....and friggin Jan 6. I really wanted to reach through the screen and choke him. Like Princess Leia choked out Jabba.

I've been asking myself for the last 12 hours: why only 1 shot? Sure, the assassin hit his target. But why not keep going?

*I'm presuming only 1 round fired because that's what all the witnesses are reporting.

The answer is, I guess, is it was a true assassination, no doubt about it. It wasn't a mass shooting. It wasn't random. It was strictly an assassination of a singular target.

57 I'm up early off a nightmare, though in the real world it would just have been a major PITA. A fellow at work asked me to come with him on an errand after we finished. Turns out he planned to go by bus! We crammed into a tiny bus station kiosk, facing a half-hour wait; and then, he tells me, we would have to walk through a bad area of town to his destination, then walk back and wait for another bus. I suggested we get his car, and offered to bring him in my car; no answer.

We left to run another errand at what seemed to be a local charity/thrift store. As often in my dreams, I could not find a private men's room stall. Then, walking back on the street, I met my co-worker's mother, whom we had been waiting for. I asked why we couldn't take his car. Her reply: "We don't have car insurance."

In the real world, I would have bailed at this point. Instead I woke up, thank goodness.

64 Jeff Blehar ( @esotericCD ) has a good essay up at NRO, excerpted at his twitter site.

"This was a political assassination. This was a blow against public participation in the debate. ... Shot dead for no other reason than getting into the arena and arguing a point. ... You can make sure that Charlie Kirk didn't die in vain by getting out there in the arena yourself, and speaking your mind."

That would make a good shift in the Overton Window.

The church shooting, the train murder, the Charlie Kirk murder- it seems that every week brings a new outrage.

Just as a thought experiment, I wonder how Tater would react if he received ten thousand tweets telling him that whatever he and his followers wished on Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk, they wished the same on his children.

Think if you personalize his poison and bring it home to him where he can see it, feel it, and taste it, he might shut his fat, lying piehole?

People just buy a whole new computer when they are ready for a faster one.

Built my own home PC for years - lately, (or well, the last 20), the pattern is usually a full build from components, a few years later, maybe a HDD/mem/video card upgrade. That would hold me for another few years, but then probably time for a CPU upgrade on top of everything else - that's when I'd do another full build - don't think I've ever upgraded just the CPU, holding the same motherboard.

We put up with what we shouldn't because we think there's a switch. There is, but it will never be used, so for all intents and purposes it doesn't exist.

Hell, I’m not sure how to spell his last name but he sends me weekly diatribes that could easily have provoked an assassin. For me, it just induced nausea to read, but that is what makes counterintelligence difficult.

227 I hope every leftist douche who tries to disrupt a meeting anywhere get their butt whipped.

The days of the left getting away with aggressive behavior are over, I believe.
