The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

11 years ago, Edge of Tomorrow (aka Live, Die, Repeat)(aka Tom Cruise Dies A LOT) came out & I loved it! Awesome action but, as a dad, I fell in love with Emily Blunt as Sgt Rita Vrataski & how she could be an awesome action hero for my daughter. Tonight, she saw it & agreed! #sooohappy

Xbox's absent landlord execs are only part of a much bigger problem Microsoft's continued job slashing at Xbox and beyond reveals a troublesome disdain for the human touch.

Savage but, from this external perspective, seemingly accurate article. The amount of manager incompetence that led to 4+ year projects being cancelled last week is a bit breathtaking. I'd be awfully cautious about partnering with MSFT on anything these days.

It’s a bit unusual for there not to be an annual vest (ie, some portion of the shares vesting). If that’s not the case, not cool. But that would be communicated as part of the vesting schedule and should come as no surprise.

OKAY. Here is how to actually turn off Gemini AI for your google workspace!

1) contact google support from admin panel and keep asking for a supervisor/to speak to a person.
2) ask them to enable settings in "Gemini for google workspace"
3) turn it off.

I just did this and it worked.

Why are the Fuel Rats so cool? Also, what are they? 😝

Some part of me desperately wants one of these even though I kinda know it’s not necessary; it’s just coooool

Holy crumb, Blue Eye Samurai is SO good! Wonderful writing, compelling story arcs, beautiful animation & art, phenomenal voice performances…and that action choreography, STUNNING. Want to watch it again already!

I'm a huge fan of Game & Watch (or LCD games, in general) & really enjoy Lucas Pope's work so this is a dream to read about! Wonderful stuff.

Most critically though, how is Squirrel Girl going to save the day in the game? Won’t she be OP?

I would suggest it’s pretty unusual given the positive industry revenues. It’s not like the layoffs are accompanying/being triggered by big revenue drops.

Cities: Skylines 2 performance has "not achieved the benchmark we targeted", Paradox admits ahead of... Ahead of Cities: Skylines 2's release next week, publisher Paradox Interactive has admitted the city building sequel ha…

So, last week Paradox took a big dump on the Lamplighter's League, doing a big write-off (having also previously laid off 80% of Harebrained Schemes staff). Now they're doing damage control IN ADVANCE of the Cities: Skylines 2 release?
Bizarre move. Must be tough to be a badly run public company!

It’s finally happened, Analogue has announced a console update that I don’t feel an immediate, cellular-level compulsion to purchase 😁
