I’m a little out of the loop these days, and I’m not sure this applies to the newer x3d chips, so grain of salt. But I have a 5800x3d, and took the time to undervolt it (each core separately) after getting it, and it runs a whole bunch cooler without losing any performance. I have AIO on mine, but it’s generally overkill.
Yet there’s like 14 people here on the fediverse, where this issues been largely solved.
It’s growing, and I don’t really want the herds and their mindrot either, but it’s the way of the future. Look at the god damn situation we find ourselves in, for example. That’s almost solely to be blamed on social media.
I mean death to the streaming companies, but yeah I don’t really miss optical media at all. My truck in high school you’d literally open up the door and CDs would be spilling out all over the damn pavement. They talk about distracted driving with the screens in modern day cars, but let’s actually talk about you flipping through pages and pages in those darn pouch books trying to find the CD you were after, back in the day. Now that was OG distracted driving.
Probably like 2010, 2011 was my last time? It would have been movies for our dvd player in our bedroom when my (now) wife and I were in University.
I got an iPod Nano for my birthday in the fall of 2005, which brought the burning cd factory that was my computer to a screeching halt. I’d still back up files and stuff using CDs, but it went from like going through a carousel of blanks a month to going through a carousel of blanks in like 3 years, within a very short period of time.
I’m nostalgic for it, but at the same time, I’d be nostalgic for 3.5 seconds if I used one again. People tend to forget how frustrating those devices could be too. I had several iterations of the blackberry, and everyone of them came with a lot of quirks that modern phones just don’t have. Sure, I sort of miss the tactile feel of buttons, but it was also a lot of work punching out long emails on them, and pocket lint did a real number on those things too.
I’m of the opposite opinion. I’m tired of dashboards just absolutely smothered in Technicoloured buttons. I much prefer the touchscreen where everything is centralized. I find it less distracting, personally.
Cars are a very intimate personal thing though, and I understand others frustrations with it. Guess I’m the outlier.
There’s been a few movies where it’s like almost instantly. Sometimes the screeners get leaked, and they tend to be higher quality. Final release quality is usually just before they start coming out for sale on the Google Play/Amazon stores, or when they start playing in the secondary market budget theaters. If you have one of those nearby, when you see they are playing the movie you are after, start looking for a higher quality dl

My garage door keeps trying to sell me a subscription so it will work with my car. My garage door! Where does it end!?!!
I think that’s what we all want. Id be front of line for what you described too.
I’m really paying close attention to those Telo Trucks, but they are a long way from market (if they make it, we’ve been here before, so many times now).
I’m really struggling to think of if this is a bad thing, in actuality. I mean the premise, obviously yikes, but this inadvertently also might be the best thing Russia has done for their youth in years.
AWS seems to have a helluva lot of failure points too. I’m not an IT expert, but I’m pretty sure this is far from the first time this has happened, correct?
I’m even starting to feel like a crotchety old man by wondering if I should be purchasing some physical precious metals.
Look at all of us, wildly ahead of the curve!! We are the future!
But for real, the intense concentration of information into what’s ultimately little tiny fail points can’t ever end well. We’ve gotten a few of these wakeup calls now. In my country a few years ago, one of the main cellular networks suddenly went down, and it dragged down all of our payment systems as an added bonus, plus 911 coverage and all sorts of other failures. That afternoon you couldn’t get money depending on who your bank was, you almost certainly couldn’t make a payment anywhere, couldn’t call for help, etc. It ultimately only lasted a few hours, but it put the politicians in a frenzy. Of course nothing really concrete has been done about it either.
And actually as a correction, I think it was Love Connection and Married with Children when that commercial was on, and not the Simpsons. Regardless, Frankie and Johnny are internationally immortal.
It is, and the funny thing is, I’m actually Canadian. That commercial used to be on during the Simpsons, it was an affiliate channel they used to broadcast into Canada.
Although I did happen to visit NOLA a couple of years ago for work, and had a great time. I even thought of Frankie and Johnny and was prepared to go, as I figured my sister would get a kick out of a selfie in front of the store. Unfortunately I found out it wasn’t there anymore :(
Like the special man says:

So it’s a piece of shit for sure?
I bought some sort of no name quasi-mechanical keyboard that came with a gaming mouse as a combo, that was like $60 on Amazon, five years ago. Literally my favourites, both of them. And I’ve had many different keyboards and mice over the years too.
It’s like I tell everyone else that gets harassed, sexually or non-sexually: go tell a lawyer, not HR.
