Technology@lemmy.world•When the AI bubble bursts, humans will finally have their chance to take back control | Rafael BehrEnglish
87·4 days agoLOL, like we took control after the DotCom crash or The Great Recession, or the pandemic.
We can only hope to gain control by organizing and exercizing our labour power. Economically and by extension in AI. Until then, the political class would keep serving whoever holds capital at the moment, bail them out with our surplus and pretend to regulate them.

Hardware@lemmy.world•AMD's legacy Ryzen 7 5800X3D chips now sell for up to $800, more than a new 9800X3D — AM4 chip costs twice as much as MSRP, as enthusiasts flock to old DDR4 memoryEnglish
2·7 days agoWhat are you gonna do with a 9800X3D without RAM? Upgrade the existing rig instead.

Hardware@lemmy.world•Taiwan considers TSMC export ban that would prevent manufacturing its newest chip nodes in U.S. — limit exports to two generations behind leading-edge nodes, could slow down U.S. expansionEnglish
15·8 days agoWas saying this ever since the technoligical transfer to the US began. The more is transferred, the less the US has an incentive to defend Taiwan in any domain. Also TSMC’s interest is not the same as Taiwan’s. The leadership and ownership of TSMC, a capitalist corporation, will focus on their own profit growth. If that profit growth goes through technological transfer to the US, they will transfer technology. In the medium term, for them it doesn’t matter whether it’s Taiwanese workers producing semiconductors or American. Taiwan’s sovereignty interest is in conflict with that.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What is the best way to support Lemmy specifically and the Fediverse in general financially?English
15·8 days agoI donate monthly (recurring) to:
- Lemmy development: https://join-lemmy.org/donate
- Our Lemmy instance: https://fedecan.ca/en/donate
Currently most large instances are well funded so I’d personally focus on development funding.

Hardware@lemmy.world•Radiant bags $300M-plus to commercialize its microreactorsEnglish
5·9 days agoYeah, multi-megawatt wind turbines are pretty common.
Been using Jenkins since before it was called Jenkins. It’s been in use at every corpo I’ve worked for. It can practically do anything. Especially coupled with Docker.

Technology@lemmy.world•Roomba maker iRobot swept into bankruptcyEnglish
17·12 days agoThere are counterexamples for sure but there are whole indistries that fell over to this pattern. E.g. TVs.

Technology@lemmy.world•Roomba maker iRobot swept into bankruptcyEnglish
45·12 days agoUnlikely. Their ODM bought them. Our home maps would however become part of their property. While I’m not happy about it, I think I prefer that than Amazon having it tbh.

Technology@lemmy.world•Roomba maker iRobot swept into bankruptcyEnglish
76·12 days agoYet another example that the firms that actually make the things are the ones that matter in the long run.
Apparently Picea makes Roomba, Shark, Anker (Eufy). Maybe also some Dyson.

Technology@lemmy.world•LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites BacklashEnglish
1·13 days agoYes. The way things ate going, at some point it may become less harmful and easier to deal with unwanted Chinese tech than American. Pay much lower profit margins as a bonus.

Technology@lemmy.world•LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites BacklashEnglish
25·13 days agoAt some point we’d have to start importing TVs from the other side of the Great Chinese Firewall to avoid unwanted US tech. It’s getting ridiculous.
Oh that looks like a nice resource.

Technology@lemmy.world•Data centers need electricity, utilities need years to build – who should pay?English
6·15 days agoYes and my point is that even if the corpo pays, which it absolutely should, that’s not the end of the economic effect when that resource is used to the limit at the moment. We will end up paying too.

















So far no one who’s able and willing to do the work for a fork has done it so I assume the motivation is low. There’s alternate pieces of software mentioned here that have their pros and cons.
