@HyperTechInvest Corsair RAM quality is about to take a massive hit. Glad I have the pre-shortage Corsair vengeance. Funny that AI promises to advance technology, but we are actually getting slower and likely less reliable RAM.

CXMT, China’s major DRAM producer, is entering global consumer memory supply chains A Corsair DDR5-6000 16GB Vengeance module was spotted using ChangXin Technologies, CXMT, DRAM DRAM supply is tightening because Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron are prioritizing HBM, LPDDR5X, and other AI-related memory products. That leaves less capacity for standard PC DRAM, forcing module makers like Corsair to look for alternative suppliers CXMT is improving quickly. It is already offering DDR5 up to 8000 MT/s, with 16Gb and 24Gb dies, while other Chinese memory companies are also pushing into DDR5 RDIMMs for data centers and workstations The Corsair kit shown is DDR5-6000, CL36, which is roughly in line with common Samsung and SK Hynix-based DDR5 kits at similar specs

@banala_sathwik @VaibhavSisinty For now

@VaibhavSisinty Asking an AI to write code also needs software knowledge. It's just like guiding multiple interns, correcting them, and helping them learn in the process.

The CEO of Anthropic was asked when AI replaces software engineers. he didn't predict. he reported. on record at Davos: 6 to 12 months until models do most, maybe all, of an engineer's job end to end. everyone argued about that timeline. they argued about the wrong sentence. in the same breath he said: "I have engineers within Anthropic who say I don't write any code anymore. I just let the model write it. I edit it."

@ravikiran_dev7 It doesn’t force copilot down your throat.

Give me one solid reason.... to choose a MacBook over a Windows laptop !

@xSimon_Says @Pirat_Nation Somebody has been living in a cave...

@Pirat_Nation Something tells me this is going to end up being super expensive and they’re just trying to gaslight people 😂 how much do you think it’s going to cost?

Valve wants to sell its new Steam Machine at the lowest price possible. But the company says RAM shortages are "unavoidable" and "will impact anything we make. Big demand for memory parts from AI data centers has pushed up costs and caused delays. Because of this, Valve has put off sharing the final price and exact launch date. Valve still plans to release the Steam Machine sometime in 2026. The company is working with suppliers to keep costs as low as it can.

@IGN I'll wait until they actually optimize it. This is going to be borderlands 4 all over again.

After having helmed The Witcher 3, one of the greatest RPGs of all time, director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz hopes to make another milestone game that will be meaningful to the entire industry with The Blood of Dawnwalker. bit.ly/4tAyAlR

@pcgamer Imagine asking your friend to do you a favor... If you are highlighting how cool Gabe is, then you did a good job. Otherwise, what is your point?

Thanks to Musk v. Altman lawsuit, it's now public record that Gabe Newell emailed Elon Musk to get his pal Hideo Kojima a tour of SpaceX and OpenAI pcgamer.com/gaming-industr…

@TanveerSuhaib @OpenAI I would tell you to walk too, since you are going to pick up some supplies to wash your car. Why would your drive 50 meters to go buy something and come back home?

@OpenAI Well, still not AGI

Introducing GPT-5.5 A new class of intelligence for real work and powering agents, built to understand complex goals, use tools, check its work, and carry more tasks through to completion. It marks a new way of getting computer work done. Now available in ChatGPT and Codex.

@starwars Wait... Star Wars is still around? Why?

but really, who could choose? For more hallways watch Ahsoka, The Clone Wars, The Mandalorian, Andor & Rogue One streaming on Disney+.

@web3_prince2 @DiscussingFilm We don't need more sequels. Hollywood is filled with sequels.

@DiscussingFilm Why does LAIKA keep wasting their talent on these niche books? This looks like a Coraline ripoff with a lower budget. Just make Coraline 2 already, nobody asked for this. 🙄

New poster for LAIKA's new film ‘WILDWOOD’. In theaters on October 23.

@MorbidMetalGame The demo sold me.

Morbid Metal will be $17.99, with a 25% launch discount for a limited time. Morbid Metal launches into Early Access on April 8 Wishlist right now so you don't miss it!

@vlelyavin @notch What is your point? They bought something from him. That doesnt negate his right to an opinion.

@notch notch calling microsoft a narcissist while they literally own the game he made is the kind of breakup energy you can only have when you already cashed the $2.5 billion check

Wow, people are actually falling for Microslop's promises to change? You don't hesitate when breaking up with a narcissist. Just keep walking away.

@smokdoutlokdout @cheefinainteasy @notch Exactly, I can't imagine anyone turning that down.

Guess I'm using the term "Microslop" now.

@WindowsCentral Oh great, now we'll get pop up ads in Windows begging us to use their garbage ai. Or more likely they'll force it on users, just like copilot. I'm jumping ship for Apple. Copilot was the final straw.

REPORT: Microsoft is gearing up to ditch OpenAI and ChatGPT, and build its own frontier models. In a new interview with FT, Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman confirmed the move, stating: "We have to develop our own foundation models, which are at the absolute frontier, with gigawatt-scale compute and some of the very best AI training teams in the world."

@discord Hey guys, we just had a massive data breach, but trust us, we know how to secure your ID. We are really good with security. Also, you can't sue us if we leak your data.

We’ve seen some questions about our age assurance update and we want to share more clarity. We know how important these changes are to our community. Here’s what we want you to know: ‣‣‣ 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗗 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱. ‣‣‣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗲. You need to be an adult to access age-restricted experiences such as age-restricted servers and channels or to modify certain safety settings. For the majority of adult users, we will be able to confirm your age group using information we already have. We use age prediction to determine, with high confidence, when a user is an adult. This allows many adults to access age-appropriate features without completing an explicit age check. When additional confirmation is required, we offer multiple privacy-forward options through trusted partners. ‣‣‣ 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲.

This work is important because building a safer Discord requires a thoughtful approach alongside the communities who make Discord special. --------------- Frequently Asked Questions 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥? ‣‣‣ No. The vast majority of people can continue using Discord exactly as they do today, without ever being asked to confirm their age. In a minority of cases when additional confirmation is required, we offer multiple privacy-forward options through trusted partners. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦? ‣‣‣ You must be a confirmed adult to access age-restricted content and experiences such as age-restricted servers and channels or to modify certain safety settings. The majority of Discord users don’t access age restricted content and will never go through a facial age estimation flow or ID verification. In the minority of cases where we cannot confirm you as an adult and you need to access age-restricted areas and settings, then you will be asked to go through additional steps. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢? ‣‣‣ We only get your age from the ID verification process and an estimated age range from Facial Age Estimation. We use this information for safety purposes and to help us deliver age appropriate experiences on Discord. We will not use your age assurance information to target you with advertisements, and we don't sell your data. You can control how we use your data. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘨𝘦 𝘌𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 (”𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧𝘪𝘦”) 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬? ‣‣‣ If you choose Facial Age Estimation, you’ll be prompted to record a short video selfie of your face. The Facial Age Estimation technology runs entirely on your device in real time when you are performing the verification. That means that facial scans never leave your device, and Discord and vendors never receive it. We only get your age group. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘱 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥? ‣‣‣ Discord’s age assurance experience was designed to respect user privacy. We are partnering with dedicated age assurance vendors who specialize in performing these verifications in a privacy-forward way. These vendors were not involved in the September 2025 data breach of our customer service agent. ‣‣‣ Our vendors perform these verifications in a way to minimize the data collected and stored. For FAE, the video selfie is processed on device and never stored. IDs are processed to get your age only and then deleted. Your identity is never associated with your Discord account. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘺 𝘐𝘋 𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦? ‣‣‣ Discord only gets your age. That’s it. Your identity is never associated with your account. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬? ‣‣‣ We leverage an advanced machine learning model developed at Discord to predict whether a user falls into a particular age group based on patterns of user behavior and several other signals associated with their account on Discord. We only use these signals to assign users to an age group when our confidence level is high; when it isn't, users go through our standard age assurance flow to confirm their age. We do not use your message content in the age estimation model. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬? ‣‣‣ Discord’s content safety filters are part of our broader Teen Safety Assist and safety-by-default approach. They help reduce exposure to certain categories of potentially sensitive image-based media, especially for teens. ‣‣‣ Mature Sexual Media Filter: Helps identify visual media that may contain sexually explicit or suggestive material involving adults ‣‣‣ Graphic Media Filter: Helps identify image-based media that may contain violent or potentially disturbing visual material ‣‣‣ These filters apply only to images and videos. They do not scan text messages, voice, or calls, and they are designed to support age-appropriate experiences while preserving private conversations. --------------- For more details check out our blog here: discord.com/safety/how-dis…

@Samvarsan @sama Claude works on more than just apple too.

@sama Its capable but who goes for number 2 when number 1 is so good

Codex app is out for mac! I am surprised by how much I love it; it is a bigger step forward than I imagined. Lots more to come.

@WindowsLatest I shouldn't have to fight my operating system.

Breaking: Microsoft admits Windows 11 is a broken mess, and is genuinely planning to improve performance, reliability, and address bugs in the coming months. Microsoft plans to address core issues of Windows 11, and this process is internally called "swarming.” Core issues include performance, dark mode, neglected parts of the OS, and File Explorer, among other buggy areas of Windows 11. "The feedback we’re receiving from our community of passionate customers and Windows Insiders has been clear. We need to improve Windows in ways that are meaningful for people,” says Pavan Davuluri, president of Windows and devices, in a statement to Tom Warren of The Verge. "Trust is earned over time, and we are committed to building it back with the Windows community,” says Microsoft's Windows boss.

@Nintenstation_X @WindowsLatest Ignorant post.

@WindowsLatest Too little too late, as soon as Apple announces the m5 Max, I'm getting a MacBook.

@linusgsebastian @Microsoft The only reason I still use Windows is for gaming. Steamdeck is rapidly changing that.

I was prompted to sign into mspaint today. @Microsoft when you look back and wonder what went wrong for Windows... It was this. This is what went wrong.
