Not according to some.

I’m down with that logic, but the bot is just going to keep doing its botty things.

Putin has been saying NATO was already at war with Russia, so what is it, bub? You can’t start a war that is already started, supposedly.

Hell, there was even a Ukrainian video released from Kursk of some old dude telling Ukrainian soldiers that he expected US troops… because the TV said it was the US that was invading Russia.

Report it. (New account, blog spam, funky domain, poorly configured server, etc.)

You were right for once, bot. Too bad that is a rare occurrence.

I concur, doctor. I’ll report all its posts and let the mods decide what they want to do.

Ok, cool. Usually those are attached to random sales fronts to boost SEO or something like that. Odd that this one is just blog spamming into the void and getting boosted here, of all places.

It doesn’t seem harmful, but I don’t understand the motivation behind it yet.

Could be a reputation bot here on Lemmy, maybe. That makes sense on Reddit where there is visible karma, but here? (I dunno how kbin works or if it is karma driven. I just noticed that…)

Dunno. Something-something The Freedom Project.

This page (hxxps://freebird-bg0.pages.dev/) is just a generic Hello World page, so that is weird. The title link is just hxxps://orion.pages.dev/

Imma dig deeper and see if I can find anything. First guess is it’s just an AI bot?

For my applications, quantity is better. Since I do CAD work in addition to 3D scanning with only occasional gaming, I need the capacity.

While I am 3D scanning, I can use in upwards of 30GB of RAM (or more) in one session. CAD work may be just as intensive in the first stages of processing those files. However, I wouldn’t consider that “typical” use for someone.

For what you describe, I doubt you will see much of a performance hit unless you are benchmarking and being super picky about the scores. My immediate answer for you is quantity over speed, but you need to test and work with both configurations yourself.

I don’t think I saw anyone mention that under-clocked RAM may be unstable, in some circumstances. After you get the new setup booting with additional RAM, do some stress tests with Memtest86 and Prime95. If those are unstable, play with the memory clocks and timings a bit to find a stable zone. (Toying with memory speeds and timings can get complicated quick, btw. Learn what timings mean first before you adjust them as clock speed isn’t everything.)

Nope. I haven’t been able identify what Yahoo is about for about the last 10-15 years, maybe more.

I think they show ads or something.

There is another aspect to this that we have seen with banks and social media companies: Fines are just a cost of doing business.

Just call it X-Twitter. It ain’t twitter any more, and “X” is just dumb as fuck.

Oh. When I said “the west” I was squarely pointing the finger at France. China is playing the longer game there because Russia has stationed Wagner down there already. It benefits both Russia and China if the population is focused on removing French influence. China gets a long term investment hedge against France and Russia gets more cheap mercs for Ukraine.

Now, I don’t really want to spend much time doing a full research project on what is basically a game of thrones’ish style side bet. It’s insanely complicated, I would imagine. After a few African countries went full-on coup d’état a few months ago, I realized there was much more going on.

Edit: I wasn’t downvoting you. I suspect that some people might be trying to launch some instability of their own. Lulz.

Chad has some decent gold fields. They aren’t the biggest the world, but they are substantial enough to draw attention. The cheap labor and zero environmental regulation is a value multiplyer as well.

When you add a little flavor the to pot by destabilizing the country and giving the west a bit of a headache, it’s now even more attractive.

The politicians are fine. China probably just bribes them in foreign currency and they sign the deal without even blinking at the interest rates. (Chad has a corruption index of 20 out of 100 with Senegal just a little better at 43.)

I have no comment on this particular political topic, but posting statistics without a source reference is bad form. Maybe it’s not “lying” but it’s misleading, intentional or not. Yes, you did post a source in proper context after you were challenged but it ended up making your original comment look worse. That is my opinion looking from the outside.

If you post data, just cross reference it a couple of times to reduce any friction later. Or don’t. You do you.

I remember they finally were able to make a ball point pen all by themselves in 2017.

When I actually start seeing products that aren’t contaminated with fake ICs or are actually grounded properly without hyper-strict foreign supervision, I’ll change my tune. Until then, there isn’t an article in the world that will convince me that China is actually innovating or taking steps to make quality products.

What the hell are you popping off about? All you need to do is go to Amazon or Ali Express to see the absolute plethora of Chinese product clones. Just search for a 3D printers, as a good example.

Yeah, I guess I am a bit prejudice against the bulk Chinese electronic garbage that is usually an extreme fire hazard. Maybe it’s all the fake or counterfeit chips I have had to replace that has pissed me off.

Look bub. I don’t give a flying fuck about China or the politics involved. Their manufacturing sucks ass and their actual their innovation is rare. If they copied products correctly, I would have a bit more respect for their business model.

If you want to go all-out tankie on people, maybe you should go back to your own instance.

That’s great and all, but you missed the theme of this thread.

China has been the king of bulk products for years. Saying that recent investments will alter world politics in 25 years is a bit strange. Saturating markets is what China does best.

There is a bit more history behind TSMC. You left out the bits where they partnered with other companies, like Philips, that gave them access to proprietary information. They continued building relationships with other large companies and investing back into their own business.

China isn’t doing that. China has had access to older fab equipment for years but still fails to truly innovate. If US companies could trust China enough not to steal modern tech, there could be some real benefits to having fabs in China. The world kinda figured out never to send proprietary information to China years ago. Companies still do and doesn’t take long for a thousand clones to pop up on Ali Express shortly after.
