I mean we haven't seen any proof, but Stefan Züger of Fortinet told that story as a supposedly true event to Journalists of CH-Media. The very article Kevin Beaumont posts says that the scenario is a real event.

Btw did you know Swiss cheese has copy protection? I know the thought is pretty random, but I thought I'd share anyway.

Is this indicative of future potential bottlenecks? Maybe but i wouldnt be so sure.

This is exactly what I expect. I have seen what happened to my friends with their GTX 970 when 3.5 GB of VRAM wasn't enough anymore. Even though the cards were still rasterizing quickly enough they weren't useful for certains games anymore. Therefore I recently make sure I go for enough VRAM to extend the useful service life of my cards.

And I'm not just talking about buying AMD, I actually do buy them. I first had the HD 5850 with 1GB, then got my friends HD 5870 also with 1GB (don't remember if I used it in crossfire or just replaced), then two of my friends each sold me their HD 7850 with 2GB for cheap and I ran crossfire, then I bought a new R9 380 with 4GB when a game that was important to me at the time couldn't deal with crossfire well, then I bought a used RX 580 with 8GB and finally the RX 6800 with 16 GB two years ago.

At some point I also bought a used GTX 960 because we were doing some CUDA stuff at University, but that was pretty late, when they weren't current anymore, and it was only used in my Linux server.

That seems weird, it's called mother of all breaches, but isn't the result of any one breach. It's just data collection from ordinary breaches with perhaps some credential stuffing in the mix.

600 $ for a card without 16 GB of VRAM is a big ask. I think getting a RX 7800 XT for 500 $ will serve you well for a longer time.

I thought this was supposed to be here: https://git.mihon.dev/mihon, without github

Sounds like low trust society issues to be honest. I only see those systems expanding in Switzerland, and they never use annoying scales or complain about unexpected items, because there aren't even any sensors for that.

Tachiyomi used to have that, but nowadays it only asks for access to one folder and does all its business in there.

These people are so hardcore, I love reading their news, there is at least one thing that makes me go WTF in a positive sense every time

When I get a call at home while already wearing my wired headset I like to just plug it into the phone.

Since my current phone was bought used I had to compromise on some things, so I don't have a headphone jack anymore. I use a USB-C Adapter now. I use it for most phone calls, especially the longer ones with family. So probably for a few hours per month.

For quite a long time, until about 2021, I was still using wired headphones when on the go, but nowadays I'm addicted to noise cancelling, so that use case has moved to Bluetooth now. My protective headsets from work (both the over-ear and the in-ear set) also use Bluetooth.

The way you use "PC" as a synonym for "Windows" proves that you are indeed a long term Mac user.
