Top Story

Memory prices may be leveling off - at four times what they were just a few months ago. (Tom's Hardware)

Supplies are still very constrained, but people are buying less RAM - either avoiding upgrades entirely or building smaller systems - so prices are stalling in the ionosphere rather than continuing on an intergalactic cruise.
SK Hynix - one of the big three memory manufacturers - has reported its most recent quarterly results. (CNBC)

No surprise, the numbers are good. Revenue is up 66% over the past year, and profit is up 137%.

Good for them. Not good for you.

Tech News

Nvidia's DGX Spark can be significantly faster on AI tasks than systems built on AMD's Ryzen AI Max. (Tom's Hardware)

When it launched it cost twice as much as the AMD systems, leaving plenty of room for the two to compete. But the AMD systems seem to have been hit badly by the DRAM Apocalypse while the Nvidia systems have somehow come down in price.

So if all you want to do is run local AI models, the DGX Spark is a better bet. If you want to do anything else with it - certainly if you want to run Windows - you may be better of sticking with AMD.
Google's desktop version of Android looks to be real. (Liliputing)

The year of Linux on the desktop?

I mean, it can't be worse than Windows.

Surely.
The Khadas Mind Pro has been updated with Intel's new Panther Lake CPU with is B390 graphics. (Liliputing)

$1799 with 64GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD, which used to be wildly expensive, and now seems normal.

23 Good morning! Had to shovel my damn driveway yesterday. Supposed to get up above freezing this morning and stay there till late this evening. Ice on the neighborhood streets persists. On the busier throughfares, there's just deep ruts of slush in the daytime with frozen slush in the shadowed sections and everywhere after sunset. On the good news front, the grandkids spent the night again. Looks like waffles are on the menu later this morning.

Fen I used to work at a local Christian AM station from '88 to '97. We began to play then-modern Christian "pop" music in about '92, so I was exposed to the music of Amy Grant, Don Francisco, and (my favorite) Margaret Becker among others. Good voices and melodies all around.

31 Fen, here is something from Wiki about Margaret Becker I didn't know. "However, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Becker occasionally encountered controversy in the world of Contemporary Christian music because she is a Roman Catholic; some Christian stores refused to carry her album, and her concert appearances were sometimes picketed."

I don't think her lyrics or the message of her songs is specifically Catholic-oriented. Personally I don't see that it matters, but troublemakers gonna troublemake no matter what.

Little Dagny's papers say she is a "black [meaning gray] mackerel tortie." She does not look like any tortoiseshell I ever saw; she looks more like a raccoon. But she has some tan dusted in with her gray (and black stripes) and some white on her face. That makes her a tricolor, I suppose.

42 Chinese state-linked hackers reportedly accessed mobile phones “at the heart of Downing Street” as part of a long-running cyber-espionage campaign targeting telecom networks worldwide, according to Fox News.

U.S. intelligence agencies believe the breaches began as early as 2021, though they were publicly revealed in 2024 after American officials warned allies about widespread intrusions into global telecommunications systems.

The campaign targeted several countries, including the U.S. and members of the Five Eyes alliance. Investigators say the attackers may have gained access to the data of millions, with the ability to monitor calls, read messages, and track locations.

Radio problems: We have many of those. Frustrating when trying to hear what other drivers are saying.

DEF: The bane of our existence right now due to the DEF freezing up in the tank, or sensors involving the DEF system freezing up or failing, causing the engines to go into "derated torque" as a way of nudging the driver to take the vehicle in for service.

So much on the new busses seems to be built fragile compared to the older buses from 10+ years ago. Sure the new ones ride nice but it doesn't seem to take much to break 'em, and the amount of computerization in them seems to cause problems with fixing and clearing error codes.

Lastly, our mechanics (bless 'em) look overworked and haggard right now. I wish there was something I could do for them to improve their situation other than just thanking them for their hard work.

49 A few years back I test-drove a used 2009 Mercedes E-Class, their diesel sedan of that year. It rode a little too stiffly for me on these horrible roads. And my mechanic advised me that in his experience diesels were best on long-distance runs and commutes, that they tended to be difficult (whatever that meant) when used for stop-and-go city driving. But it was a beauty, and the old "tock-tock-tock" of the '80s diesels was almost completely absent.

She does and she does, and I did send pics when they were younger. Time to do it again, perhaps with a side-by-side comparison of kitten to adult. Stirling looked as a kitten very much as he does now, just smaller; you could tell what he would grow into. Dagny, almost four now, has changed and matured amazingly in her looks. The usual wisdom is that Siberians, and Maine Coons too, don't fully mature until they are three to five years old.

88 Meanwhile, on the good news side of things, I was able to convince my 6 month pregnant daughter to hire neighborhood kids to shovel her drive way yesterday. Her husband is out of town, and she is a do-er: sees a task, does a task. Her many miscarriages helped me win the argument!

You all have no idea what goes on.

California is a Potemkin state. Nothing is real.

Everyday life is a page out of Sartre. It requires pretending and suspension of disbelief.

The drugs help.

94 I have a product recommendation for anyone with joint pain: Buy a cryotherapy machine. The fancy name is a surprisingly simple product: load water and ice into a handheld insulated cooler where a small electric motor pushes the cold water out through a hose (a second hose recycles the water back into the cooler) and into a pad you strap around your injured joint, in my case a knee.

It's instant relief. I love my machine.

People on the "ICE_Watch" subreddit on @Reddit are encouraging one another to shoot federal agents.

This is how they're going to do it, by sacrificing useful idiots until the populace starts having regrets.

They will NOT have regrets. They will spin it to reach the same conclusions they reach.

That's insanity. I've done Home Health and Hospice for 30 years. You can't imagine the paperwork and regulations. We have someone on staff auditing charts at all times in case Medicare should happen to pull one of our charts. Even the smallest mistake can cost you thousands of dollars and put your certification at risk. Apparently not in California though.

But they believe that we will have regrets. It's pretty obviously a successful tactic, given the many shrines which have been put up for Good and Pretti. The fact that they got the Black Panthers to speak out on the matter (and tell them to keep the BP name out they fucking mouths) just shows the righteousness of their cause. They only need another thousand or so to die and the normies will be horrified.

I expected something science fiction like. And more expensive.

I've got arthritis in my knees, so I wonder if this would help... better than anti-inflammatories.

Ben, I bought mine on Amazon. It is labeled "Iznr Manufacturing" of some Chinese city. Amazon sells it as "Ice Machine for Knee After Surgery | Power-Saving Mode & Wireless Remote Control & Adjustable Timer & LED Screen, Joint Ankle Elbow Replacement Cold Therapy Compression Pad, Cryotherapy Pain Relief"

It was $150

Also, we need to order 10,000 pull-ups.

I think it was what saved Her Majesty's life after her first knee replacement, when the pain management went horribly wrong.
