    Crew-10 launches, finally clearing the way for Butch and Suni to fly home

    Mate, you're gonna need /s tags here. In this comment section, the line between sardonic quips and genuine idiocy is no wider than the Planck length.

    This is what it looks like when parasitic worms directly invade your brain

    I presume that by the time this comment goes live, all the RFK jokes will already have been made? [edit] Yup, very first comment. Excellent!

    FBI nabs worker at DVD company for ripping prerelease Marvel blockbusters

    Please don't assume what "my" logic is, I've only just arrived in this thread. That being said, I don't know who this "brigade", respectively "you all" are, but there appears, to me, to be a conflation of what is legal and what is moral - a conflation which I viscerally disagree with, and which...

    After flying higher than ever, the US military’s X-37B spaceplane is back home

    I'd dispute that, actually! Institutions and laws are systems, and any system can and will be gamed. The key, in my opinion, lies in understanding these systems serve a purpose (keeping the individuals within their grasp as free as possible, and as constrained as necessary), and in adopting and...

    FBI nabs worker at DVD company for ripping prerelease Marvel blockbusters

    See the post just above your own. 'sides, it's not like "society", whatever that may be, (1) ever changed its collective mind, (2) ever made mistakes, or (3) really isn't the end-all and be-all in individual value judgments.

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT review: RDNA 4 fixes a lot of AMD’s problems

    Well, at least here in Germany it looks like either scalpers got 'em all, or they're releasing delayed.

    Protests, broken windows, even arson: Tesla’s massive Elon problem

    I can't play the violin, but might I offer Mr Musk a sad tune on the world's smallest piano?

    Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review: No, it’s not “4090 performance at $549”

    (Apologies for the double post, that reply came in while I was typing the previous one.) I already got my 7900XT, but it'll be well within the EU's two-weeks refund window when the 9070s drop. Current game plan is to see if I can get a Sapphire or XFX one for reasonably close to the €720-ish...

    Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review: No, it’s not “4090 performance at $549”

    I would almost welcome that. Modern games, at least, tend to be graphically extremely impressive but often lacking in so many other areas, it'd be interesting to see which way development would push if graphical improvements were suddenly off the table.

    Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review: No, it’s not “4090 performance at $549”

    I suppose that means the GPU question for my current build isn't so much green or red, then, but 7900XT or 9070XT.

    Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks

    Are the people cooking up this kind of suggestion the same people wondering why Luigi's name is being invoked like that of a bloody saint these days?

    “Truly a middle finger”: Humane bricking $700 AI Pins with limited refunds

    Yes, I think at this point it's not so much a cloud as a thick, impenetrable, bronchi-clogging smog of skepticism.
