A Russian court has reportedly fined Google $20,541,679,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 for blocking 17 Russian TV channels. (Tom's Hardware)

Apple's new Mac Mini - which is actually mini - is here, including an M4 Pro model. (9to5Mac)

As with everything Apple makes, it is locked down forever at the time of purchase, and selecting larger memory and storage options is ruinously expensive.

But at least this one supports up to 64GB of RAM.

The 2024 models measure 5" square, similar to other mini-PCs, and much smaller than the previous 8" square models.
AMD's 9800X3D, due out next week, is 25% faster than its predecessor on productivity benchmarks. (WCCFTech)

The X3D models are optimised for games and are generally slower than the regular models for serious work, but AMD seems to have managed to reverse that in this case: It's also 10% faster than the comparable current-generation 9700X.

Oops. Oopsie. There's been a local privilege escalation bug in the X.Org window server (that manages desktops on Linux) for 18 years. (Phoronix)

IIRC, TA was more of a 60s thing, mostly about getting in touch with your inner child in order to alter your ego and become a healthy adult.

More or less the same kind of crap as Primal Scream or EST.

49 Here's what Chat GPT says about TA and "Karens":

Can Transactional analysis explain why "Karens" get under our skin?
ChatGPT said:

Yes, Transactional Analysis (TA) can help explain why "Karens" might get under our skin by examining the dynamics of interpersonal communication. In TA, there are three ego states: Parent, Adult, and Child.

When someone behaves in a demanding or entitled way, like many "Karens" do, they may be operating from a "Parent" ego state, which often comes across as controlling or critical. This can trigger a defensive response in others, often activating their "Child" ego state, leading to feelings of frustration or helplessness.

The interactions can feel particularly grating because they often involve a clash of these ego states—someone in a strong Parent mode asserting authority versus someone in a Child state feeling attacked or belittled. This dynamic can escalate conflicts and create a cycle of irritation and misunderstanding. Recognizing these patterns can help us respond more calmly and effectively, rather than reacting emotionally.

Triggers my adult ego state. Karens are in their demanding, entitled child ego state. They grate on adult ego nerves as "someone else's snot nosed brat kid".

Going with this, I've said a number of times that the physical bubble of DC, the beltway consciousness, needs to be broken.

Move the FBI to Tampa, the EPA to St. Louis, etc. The is no need for all these jobs to be located in one area.

The current Federal government currently sees the country as "DC Uber Alles". That needs to change.

No more Federal Superstate that can do no wrong.

>>I hate it when I have a computer problem and look online for a solution and somewhere among all these stupid "forums", some yahoo says, "Should have bought a Mac."

My daily driver is a 2015 MacBook Pro and I have a 2009 Macbook pro I use exclusively for personal financial work, , one computer is 9 years old, the other is 15 years old, zero problems.

Those people have a point.

189 “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”

--

Joe Biden and the entire Democrat Party has been demonizing half of this country for his entire stolen presidency. The not-veiled calls to violence against Trump and his supporters, the non-stop Nazi and Fascist labels have gone unabated for 4 years under this demented imbecile's watch, and the watch of his slag of a VP. Don't either of you dare call Trump or any of us "unconscionable" and "un-American," you filthy pieces of s**t.

191 Windows 11. Wait till you see what microsoft has done to the formerly simple process of attaching a Word file to an email and sending it to a single recipient.

192 Wait till you see Windows 11 in it's shit stinking effulgence in full. A generous person would see it as atrocious, a leftwit will see it as just fine, thereby proving once more cognitive dissonance is a terrible affliction.

My daily driver is a Toshiba Qosmio high end gaming laptop I purchased in 2014, running Windows 8.1, 32gig of Ram, two discreet 2TB solid state hard drives. I use it extensively for video editing as well. Began with two internal 500GB drives which have been cloned over the years to upgrade storage. No problems, no issues with stability over the years. External drives are used to back up critical folders and videos.
