｢ Amid the unrelenting demand for AI infrastructure, SK Hynix, the world’s largest supplier of HBM memory used in high-end GPUs, now expects to triple its wafer capacity. You'll just have to wait through two more US presidential elections and then some.

All that capacity won’t come online until 2034 ｣

"Xbox Is Unable to Meet Demand for New Consoles", Rethinking Approach to Project Helix

Is the demand for #Xbox consoles in the room with us right now? 🤭

Interesting to blame "AI boom driving up prices on hardware" when #Microslop is one of the main culprits of it.

I really hope people don't buy new hardware for a while after that price slam.

They have been gaming the prices because of AI data centers, and everyone else has been paying for it.

They had projections for normal demand. They screwed everyone over by not protecting consumer prices.

Did you recently rediscover how slow electro-mechanical HDDs are?

Do you now wait eons to compile?

Do you carry around some of the few remaining solid states worth their weight in precious gold?

Recommendations:
* Kicksecure (RO) for default-mgmt-dvm & clockvm to protect salt functions like update > timedatectl show > qubes-prefs
* Development of highly isolated templates with tor transport an onion by default
* purge ALL lxqt! (xTerm works)
* If your wallpaper has someone else's name on it, then
certain somebodies shouldn't have gotten to Dom in the first place
