2023 was the year that GPUs stood still
  • Is there any issue with buying a card that was previously used for mining?

    If used by a home user who didn't know what they were doing they might have run it hotter for much longer than a typical gamer so the thermal paste might need a redo.

    If used by some miner doing it even quasi-professionally or as a side-gig I'd much prefer it over a 2nd hand card from any typical gamer (most miners) they've kept the voltage/temps low and taken care of it far better than a gamer who might be power cycling regularly and definitely thermal cycling even more regularly.

  • Phones should have FM radio again
  • It's funny how the few who're totally sold on Bluetooth go "ugh, but then you'd need a headphone jack" as if it isn't an upgrade for others which wouldn't affect their ability to use Bluetooth at all.

  • The new system to replace Reddit coins and awards is here. You got out at the right time.
  • It was much worse in 2019, a post hitting over 100-200 was unusual and the comment sections were beyond dead. Most comment sections these days are still filled with hope, in 2019 suicide hotline threads were a weekly occurrence or more.

    We'll see anyway, the BTC halving has led to a run 3 times in a row so far, just like clockwork. Barring another recession I just see the same pattern forming.

  • Oh there's a ton of interest but just kept to shitcoiners for now - the subreddits are nothing like they were during the bear market around 2019, back then it was a ghost town even with a subscriber count of 800k but now they're still very active due to an influx of millions of users (6m subs on the main shitcoin sub).

    It'll all likely swing back up in the next two years and become a media and scam frenzy again, then another crash, rinse, repeat.

    Reddit shilling decentralisation and ownership knowing how they've acted the last few months is hilarious though, they've been prideful of saying "nope you don't own shit,now fuck off somewhere else" and spez bootlickers have been parroting it endlessly too. Seems odd that they're the people Reddit are going to have to advertise this... Fauxnership to.

  • until it's actually too late

    Don't worry - with everything else we've done to fuck up the environment and ignoring the filth in the oceans... it's probably already too late! We'd have to massively curb consumerism to get the happy ending and...ooh, new shiny toy!

  • Meh, I'd count that as a win.🤸
  • They're pretty good for getting rid of ticket tours but the company doing that is based in the Netherlands and it's slow to spread elsewhere. The protocol's rules mean you can't resell for more than face value and they've sold over 4m tickets that way.

  • They've updated their preview feature TOS as recently as last month to push forward with avatars and community points, I reckon they're just biding time to sync it with the next bull run to maximise value and heighten chance of seeming like they have genius cutting edge foresight.

    Link here, specifically 5.1

    The bottom of that's also funny because it makes it clear their smart contract is permissioned and if they don't like what you do with your virtual goods they can remove them from you. Very immutable, wow, such ownership.

  • I know in your example you're trying to give the right answer or explanation as you see it, but this is also very closely related to Cunningham's Law:

    The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.

    So you're still providing a service even if it feels bad to have an expert steamroll whatever perception you had. Chances are tons of people had the same vague notion as you and your misguided logic eventually led to the correct path.
