Top Story

Is there anything AI can't do? Enterprise hard drives are now on backorder for the next two years as AI deployments eat all available storage. (Tom's Hardware)

That will put pressure on supplies of cheap bulk QLC SSDs, sending those prices up, which will put pressure on higher-quality TLC SSDs.

But at least at the end of it you won't have a job anymore.

Unless you're in a trade, in which case your employment is secure but your customers won't be able to pay you.

Tech News

AMD's Ryzen 5 3600 has dropped to $67. New. Including a fairly decent stock cooler. (Tom's Hardware)

It comes with AMD's Wraith Stealth cooler, but for an extra $4 you can get it with the bigger and better Wraith Spire model.

It's not the latest and greatest - it's three generations behind the latest and greatest - but still, it's $67. Or $71, depending.
A laid off Intel employee absconded with 18,000 files, some of them classified Destroy Before Reading. (Tom's Hardware)

Oops.
A tape that may contain a copy of the long-lost fourth edition of Unix has been found. (Ponderwall)

It says it contains a copy of the long-lost fourth edition of Unix, but since the tape is more than fifty years old, it's been shipped off to the Computer History Museum for expert restoration before anyone tries to check its actual contents.
Always Mars tomorrow, never Mars today: The launch of the Escapade mission aboard New Glenn was scrubbed because a cloud. (Tech Crunch)

They'll try again at 2:45 pm EST on Wednesday when hopefully not a cloud.
ChatGPT private queries have been leaking into Google Search Console - a tool that lets you monitor search queries leading to your website - because ChatGPT was, well, taking people's private queries and doing just what anyone would do and looking the information up on Google. (Ars Technica)

Of course.

Musical Interlude

Song is the extended edition of Lindsay Buckingham's Holiday Road, which he wrote at Harold Ramis' request for National Lampoon's Vacation. Since there's no original music video for the extended edition, this one is taken from clips of Vacation and the second sequel, Vegas Vacation.

Good morning, good people, from the newly winterized Adirondacks. Finally seeing some seasonal temps. I'd just as soon have the warmer ones, personally.

But as normal, may all effort from you result in maximum benefit to you always, with the subsequent grief for the leftwit fungi.

There are times when i look at the stupid fiasco and think that this is exactly what is supposed to happen. Shutdowns are never a bad thing. There should always be a mechanism in place for the minority party to say "no, we're not doing that". There's nothing overly dramatic about it. It isn't political terrorism. It's applied conservatism. "Washington can't do X" is a good thing for just about every value of X.

But this was a different kind of thing. This was the minority party using that braking mechanism to say "Washington MUST do X, even if there aren't the votes for it". Which is a pretty solid example of political terrorism.

79 the Daily Kos article in its entirety:

Shutdown Capitulation, again? Schumer snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

So it looks like we've found new and innovative ways to humiliate ourselves as a party. Fresh on the heels of a widely lauded concurrent vote in healthcare and the budget, Democrats are now decoupling the two issues.

We're going to reopen the government on the promise of a cloture-strangled vote at a later date. Do you think that a party that doesn't mind abandoning the power of the purse to MAGA pocket recisions is going to hold this vote?

So we'll get nothing. After an election that MAGA is saying blew past their worst case scenarios, we're going to offer a reasonable, coupled vote, then back off?

Defeat from the jaws of victory: the Schumer Doctrine.
