Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldMto Hardware@lemmy.world•The trendline doesn’t look good for hard disk drivesEnglish3·2 days agoI believe NVMe is designed for a different storage architecture (SSD) and there aren’t really benefits to using an HDD with a NVMe (other than simplification due to the use of single protocop as outlined in the article).
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Green Energy@slrpnk.net•Director General Grossi’s Statement to UNSC on Situation in Iran | IAEA21·3 days agoI am no supporter of the aytollahs, but I highly doubt nuclear facilities are for civilian use only. They would be stupid to not use them for military programs (perhaps in an indirect manner).
This doesn’t change the fact that attacking such facilities is dangerous, but we should differentiate when countries truly use nuclear power for peaceful purposes only.

Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Gamers Are Reportedly Skipping GPU Upgrades Due to Soaring Prices — Paying Bills Takes Priority Over Chasing NVIDIA’s RTX 5090English1·3 days agoShipment/POS do not telling you anything about unfulfilled demand or “unrealized supply”.
It’s just how unit were shipped into the channel and sales at retail respectively.
These are the best data points that we have to understand demand dynamic.
Gamers are also a notoriously dramatic demography that often don’t go through on what they say.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Gamers Are Reportedly Skipping GPU Upgrades Due to Soaring Prices — Paying Bills Takes Priority Over Chasing NVIDIA’s RTX 5090English1·3 days agoThat’s why it’s best to focus on absolute unit shipment numbers/POS.
If total units increased compared to the previous generation launch, then people are still buying GPUs.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Android@lemdro.id•[Discussion] Why are Android boot times relatively slow?English5·3 days agoI believe it’s at least partially tied to Android’s architecture, for example how you need to “optimize apps” on first boot.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Free NetBSD server user account only for educational purposesEnglish1·2 days agoWhen I read “open shell account server” I thought this meant anyone can get access programmatically. This sounded like a disaster.
But turns out, at least with the respect to this NetBSD specific offer, you have to send out an application.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Is Google about to destroy the web?English42·3 days agoGoogle disagrees. In fact, the company tells the BBC that AI Overviews have been good for the web, and AI Mode will be no different. Google insists these features send users to “a greater diversity of websites” and the traffic is “higher quality” because people spend more time on the links they click.
However, the company hasn’t provided data to back up these claims.
This is how we know they are lying.

Also funny that the update is only for iOS
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Gamers Are Reportedly Skipping GPU Upgrades Due to Soaring Prices — Paying Bills Takes Priority Over Chasing NVIDIA’s RTX 5090English14·3 days agoIt seems like gamers have finally realized that the newest GPUs by NVIDIA and AMD are getting out of reach, as a new survey shows that many of them are skipping upgrades this year.
Data on GPU shipments and/or POS sales showing a decline would be much more reliable than a survey.
Surveys can at times suffer from showing what the respondents want to reply as opposed to what they do.

NVMe HDDs?

Thanks for sharing.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Palantir Exposed: The New Deep State [27:27 | JUN 10 2025 | Glenn Greenwald]English2·5 days agoNo shit, he said he was wrong after the full scale invasion began. It would be very strange for him to claim that “the invasion” is not happening after russia invaded.
Before that he was openly parroting russian narratives about how US intel was incorrect and how the invasion wasn’t happening.

Many times. Want me to say it again? “Russia should not invade Ukraine.”
The reason I don’t say it more is because it’s a non-statement: everybody agrees with it, even Russians. The only people who think slogans solve the problem are people who don’t understand the conflict.
Lying about russian attitudes. 85% (with adjustments for preference falsification) of russians support the annexation of Crimea; the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.

I want to see an end to the conflict in Ukraine, and frankly, I think all reasonable people share that position. The question nobody seems to want to contend with is whether amplifying official claims made without evidence are reducing hostilities, or are in fact provoking them.
3 Feb 2022
TIME paints here a very different picture of the Ukraine crisis, reporting that it is a drive to censor and criminalize the domestic political opposition—a drive encouraged by the White House—that has brought some to believe war is the only option.
He even uses the russian term “Ukraine crisis” and blames Ukrainians for russian aggression (ironic considering how “open” politics are in russia).
He routinely promotes Glenn Greenwald (who said all Ukrainians are Nazis) and David Sachs, both of whom are openly supportive of russian genocidal imperialism.
I highly doubt you’ll change your opinion on Snowden. Generally speaking, it would be difficult for Snowden fanboys to admit that their hero isn’t the paragon of virtue that they claim he is.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Palantir Exposed: The New Deep State [27:27 | JUN 10 2025 | Glenn Greenwald]English22·5 days agoI gave you a specific example. Do a search for his tweets before Feb 24 2022 regarding Ukraine. Note how he was parroting russian official channel claims that the full scale invasion is not happening and ridiculing US security services (that correctly predicted that it is happening). Now do a search for official russian statements on this issue for this period.
You can do the searching yourself or feel free to assume that I am lying in order to discredit your little angel.
Secondly do lookup on who he promotes and what kind of things they say about Ukraine. This includes individuals claiming that everyone in Ukraine are Nazis and that Russia invasion was justified by security concerns. Both messages are openly promoted but the russians.
I stand corrected, there is an example of him criticizing the russian government. Then again, this almost from 10 years ago.
I gave you examples from the last few years.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Palantir Exposed: The New Deep State [27:27 | JUN 10 2025 | Glenn Greenwald]English32·6 days agoSnowden messaging is directly aligned with russian security services and their key propaganda narratives.
Look at his messaging before the full scale invasion; until the invasion he was distributing russian propaganda about how “the invasion is not happening” and some world salad about NATO and BATO.
He routinely promotes messaging supportive of russian imprialism and spreads known falsehoods.
Snowden does not critize the russian government. Don’t lie.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•AMD Manages to Shift The Dynamics of Data Center Markets Into its Favour, Server CPU Market Share Now Poised To Match Intel By 2026English4·6 days agoIt’s fascinating how even with all of Intel’s struggles over the past ~5 years or so, it’s only now that AMD has been able to match their position in the server CPU market.
I am really surprised your account wasn’t from ML. This seems very similar to the usual degenerate word salad you hear from the tankies.
Although I will give you points for originality, this is a somewhat new type of word salad.
