Top Story
- That mini-PC I just bought increased in price by 25% the next day. In fact, the 32GB model now costs more than I paid for the 64GB model.
Which is not a huge surprise - it was markedly cheaper in Australia than on the British Minisforum store, and a key reason I bought it in the first place was because the price was so low compared to the current cost of RAM.
I'll post a quick review once I get it - or at least, next weekend once I have a chance to set it up. But if you're impatient Notebook Check just covered it in detail.
- Speaking of which are the Chinas set to rescue the world from its folly?
Taiwanese memory maker Nanya has seen revenues soar 300% in the past year - and 30% in just the past month - as it scrambles to fill the gap left open by the Big Three.* (Taipei Times)
Nanya mostly produces older DDR4 memory but about 10% of their sales are already DDR5, and they've had an opportunity handed to them gift-wrapped.
Meanwhile West Taiwan's leading memory maker CXMT has entered mass production of DDR5 and LPDDR5X chips itself. (Trendforce)
CXMT was previously accused of dumping DDR4 RAM on the market at lower prices than even second-hand products. (Tom's Hardware)
Oh, how the turns have tabled. CXMT can only produce 16Gb chips, not the latest 32Gb models - so 32GB modules and 64GB dual-channel kits - but 64GB of memory you can buy is a lot better than 128GB you can't.
There may only be three big memory manufacturers, but that doesn't mean there aren't little ones looking to get big.
* Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix, formerly Hyundai Semiconductor.
Tech News
- You can't buy the memory to run them, but you can pick up a 9800X3D (hands down the fastest CPU for gaming) for $439 right now, down from $479, or the previous generation 7800X3D for $365. (WCCFTech)
And use them as paperweights while the market corrects itself one way or another.
- You can also pick up an AMD Radeon 9070 (the slower non-XT model) for $509 instead of $549 (or $569+ with the recently announced price increases), or an Nvidia RTX 5050 for just $209. (WCCFTech)
The 5050 is the low-end card in the lineup and largely gets ignored, but priced closer to $200 than $250 it starts to look like a bargain.
- The radiation shielding at Chernobyl has stopped working because Russia blew it up. (Politico)
The shielding, not Chernobyl. Though that too, come to think of it.
- Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe that everyone involved in this story should die. (Yahoo)
In a fire.
- Phones, like everything else, look set to become more expensive next year. (CNN)
Panic-buy now and avoid the rush.
- Indie horror game Horses deserves to be played, even if it's not very good. (The Verge) (archive site)

Prayer by Henri Nouwen- RC Priest 1892-1971 . He wrote quite a few books
Dear Lord
Today I thought of the words of Vincent Van Gogh: "It is true that there is an ebb and flow, but the sea remains the sea" You are the sea . Although I experience many upd and downs in my emotions and often feel great shifts and changes in my inner life , you remain the same. Your sameness is not the sameness of a rock, but the sameness of a faithful lover. Out of your love I came to life by your love I am sustained . and to your love I am always called back. There are days of sadness and days of joy; there are feelings of guilt and feelings of gratitude ; there are moments of failure and moments of success; but all of them are embraced by your unwavering love .

My only real temptation is to doubt in your love, to think of myself as beyond the reach of your love, to remove myself from the healing radiance of your love. To do these things is to move into the darkness of despair.
O Lord, sea of love and goodness, let me not fear too much the storms and winds of my daily life, and let me know that there is an ebb and flow but that the sea remains the sea.

The article is kinda useless on that point.
Somewhere within these three statements perhaps the truth resides:
- A structure designed to prevent radioactive leakage at the defunct Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine is no longer operational
- the large steel structure "lost its primary safety functions, including the confinement capability" when its outer cladding was set ablaze
- Beyond that, there was "no permanent damage to its load-bearing structures or monitoring systems"

I also appreciate the trees which shed their bark and become white. Sycamore (?) . It's probably a mess to clean up if you have the bark in your yard but the white branches are pretty. I am reminded of the character of Anne Shirley from the "Anne of Green Gablez" series who says, "Everyday there is something beautiful to see or hear . May you all see or hear something beautiful today!

They are horribly messy trees, year 'round. Bark, seedpods (big dingleberries!) and leaves that shed slowly, all winter long. Those leaves don't compress well or break down easily, so they are a hassle to bag or compost...

I'mup thanks to a nightmare that, in its plausible illogic, reminds me of the craziness of the employment world. In it, I was still at my old university. Miss Linda worked at a clothing shop and had a big discount, so we gave a blouse to one of the girl graduate students for Xmas. She seemed pleased.
The next day she brought it back to me, saying it had got some white splotches on it. She tried rinsing it and pressing it (mark this), and no improvement. I said, "Let me try," and took it home with the same result.
The next day, she *complains* that *I* ruined her gift -- though she washed it first -- and complained to the admin. None of their business, but suddenly I had a firestorm around me.

The dean calls me, saying I should know better. I keep pointing out that *she* washed it first and failed; and in any case it was a *gift*, and she's complaining?
I get back to my office, and one of my co-workers says the gift violates the university's rules on gift-giving. In my dream I see it in black-and-white: "The recipient if of the opposite sex may not be a co-worker, ex-wife, or wife."
So I'm exclaiming to the dean that not only am I being excoriated for "ruining" a gift, I'm in trouble because she's married (which I did not know)! I was pointing out that she was not a co-worker, but a grad student, thus not even in my chain of command, when I woke up.
The point: The dream illogic almost matches the kind of illogic HR departments force on us. I'm SO glad to be out of that!

Fentanyl is around 50x more addictive than Heroin. The cartels are trading increased overdose deaths for exploding sales in a country with 320 million people.
They aren’t concerned about running out of customers. Nor does presumed intent negate the deadly result.

The Ukraine had been part of Russia since the 1700s (not voluntarily). It also changed hands to the German Empire in the last days of WW1, reverted to the Soviets after that, got invaded by the Germans in WW2 in 1941 (who could have raised an anti-soviet army with the Ukrainians, but they were Slavic sub-humans, so no), had a lot of major battles fought there, and ended up back under Soviet control in late 1944.
The Russians aren't angels by any stretch of the imagination, but the Ukrainians aren't much further away from the Devil IMO (plus they give money to my enemies, which I assume the Russians don't do as well).
The weird thing is that I came to comment that the song "Rock The Casbah" by the Clash would probably considered a hate crime in Airstrip One (formerly known as "Britain", fuck the "Great" bit).

We had one in the middle of our front yard yet close to the street. Our arborist recommended yanking it out and got no argument from us.
When we bought this place 25+ years ago there was a real dog's breakfast selection of trees on the property. Bedraggled conifers and oaks. And two Bradford Pears. All but one are now gone, and they went with extreme prejudice. The last conifer's final days will come to an end this spring.

His George Bailey and a lot of his lighter roles might have reflected himself. But see some of the 'dark" Westerns he starred in during the 1950s like The Man From Laramie and The Naked Spur. Something raw comes out there in many scenes, something you would not want to see if it was set against you.
He has an early (1930s) film role -- I won't tell you which one to preserve the fun -- in which he appears for 95% of the film to be a nice guy, and then at the end is revealed as a snarling killer. And he is believable at both.

You’re kidding, right? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dead one. I thought they were impossible to kill, actually. lol.
My parents planted two of them in the front yard. They weren’t great tree climbing, but I managed. I had all the branches memorized and could climb to the top blindfolded probably. The house was at one of the highest points in our fair city, suddenly I could see for miles! I like silver Maples, but they should probably be illegal in a landscape situation.
As it turns out there aren’t really very many tree species that check all the boxes for good landscaping in a street environment or suburbia.
After all the American Elms died many cities looked completely barren for years. One of the replacements at the time was the green Ash, that too has now fallen almost completely victim to a type of invasive borer.

Since I believe there is more evidence of the Ukrainian government has funneled more money to corrupt the US government more than the Russians have been able to do, I hate them more.
What's really annoying is that we started dealing with the CCP to be a counter-weight against the USSR. Nixon couldn't see the future, but God damn it, he fucked a lot of shit up. Maybe his leaving early prevented his plans from coming to fruition, but that would be a reason to not leave willingly.

We had our wave of dead trees caused by ash borers about five years ago. The entire neighborhood had at least one tree removal service at work practically every week from May into September. As the neighborhood has been around for seventy years now, practically every large tree is that age and they are beginning to expire on their own volition.

That’s why all the invective and hateful rhetoric. It’s the same playbook used everywhere for 250 years at least. “Otherize” the enemy. They have ramped this up to eleventy in recent years, clearly there are forces at work demanding open conflict and the “media” is more than willing to help facilitate this. Orders is orders, I supoose.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, having always been a staunch supporter of NATO but this what I think now:
The U.S. created NATO to protect the liberty of west Europeans. Now that many European Nations have abandoned their desires for those liberties there is no reason for the U.S. to be in the Alliance.
Make mutual defense treaties with Poland and the various other countries like Poland that are aligned our values and let the west Europeans go their own ways.

Curtis LeMay rose to prominence partly because he advocated a straight line approach flight plan to the target. Previously they had zig zagged or something like that. This was largely unworkable.
Everybody at the briefing said he was nuts, and would get a lot of people killed. They were correct, but LeMay pointed out he would be piloting the lead plane, the very plane the enemy would shoot down first. He was a remarkable individual. This strategy worked, his crews had success where others didn’t. He knew how to treat subordinates and kept maintenance crews happier, etc. you can train people to become great leaders but the really great ones figured it out early and did it on their own somehow. These guys are never appreciated until they are needed.

Teej, having disposed of 100s of PCs over the years I have wondered the same thing. I looked into it and while it is possible on a small scale to retrieve the gold and silver from computers, it's a difficult and nasty process that is not really worth the effort unless you have nothing better to do. All old PCs I get nowadays go on the scrap trailer to be sold at maybe 7 cents a pound.

While I agree IE was a crappy browser that I avoided at all costs because, at the time, it was a magnet for ever malware that existed, and I spent many hours of my life back then repairing people’s machines who’d been infected, MS didn’t deserve the judgement or fines or remedy that were forced on them.
There were only a few browsers out at the time, and Netscape, the instigator of the entire drama, wasn’t packing anything special in Navigator, which proved true as they went out of business a few years later only to partially re-emerge later as Mozilla/Firefox.
Then the EU tried to go after M$ for including Windows Media Player in Windows which is sort of like going after GM for putting AC Delco radios in their cars.
I noticed they never went after Apple for putting QuickTime Player in MacOS, since forever, and they sold the software & hardware!
Probably because Apple had a minuscule market share at the time and M$ was Mr. Monopoly Moneybags.

The recycler in town gets most of the electronic waste in Kansas.
I had a way, using a dodgy Chinese Patent, to turn them into a rare earth, gold, and copper mine. But the procedure needed industrial-sized acid vats. The city was difficult. So that plan ended.
I was not concerned over the Patent's intellectual property. It was similar to other recycling procedures, and was better than a ball milling operation near residences. Turn around and all that.

I think its funny because NYC is right up there with the most public cameras like Babylon DC, London and many Chinese cities.
She takes out one camera, yet at least two others live stream / record the event in living color.

Don't forget their platform through the decades...
pro-slavery
pro jim crow laws
pro segregation
against anti-lynching laws
against suffrage for women
lovers of fascism/not-sees
pro-abortion
pro commie
...
their latest stuff is just a natural progression of their values.

And really nothing that could be done. My Dad was a mid-teenager at the time (ended up serving near the end of the war in the Philippines and later Japan). He remembered hearing about Pearl Harbor on the radio with his folks. Dad passed away four years ago; his centennial is coming up next year...

Some of them have more personal reasons for being Big Mad - read a report that street prices for Cocaine have already gone up by 1/3 in the Netherlands since the US started blowing up boats.

There's code for that, but this website no likey as too long a string, so I'll add CR to it:
javascript
function(){var s = prompt("Playback Speed:");
if (s!==null){document.getElementsByClassName
('html5-main-video')[0].playbackRate = s;}})();
Use this and you can set even the speed of ads. Go too fast, and Youtube will accuse you of using an ad blocker...

Same here, well for AoSHQ anyhow.
I gave up trying to figure it out on the iPad and just turned the shields off. Loads fine then.
The iPhone, on the other hand, refuses to load it on a 4G connection no matter what I do.

The barrels are probably filled with fuel for those big engines on the boats. The bundles are the drugs.

We called it Mexican Dirt Weed.
It's the stuff that you'd have to break apart because they'd pack it so tight in bricks for smuggling that it would still be in brick form a few weeks later by the time it was on the street.
It's very difficult to find dirt weed these days but people don't want it anyhow. Most stuff available is hydroponic bud grown indoors under lights or in greenhouses.
