  1. Re:Why not branch out? on Nvidia Will Focus on Gaming Because Cryptocurrencies Are 'Volatile' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    The are popular for scientific computing. I have 4x K40 in my workstation.

    That obvious, because if you want to use an AMD GPU for graphics, they suck.

  3. Re:Games made Nvidia, not BitTrash on Nvidia Will Focus on Gaming Because Cryptocurrencies Are 'Volatile' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    AMD sucks though; the Radeon windows drivers are bug riddled crap. I think the complexity is getting so high (22 billion transistors in Volta) that there will be only 1 player that can afford the R&D.

  4. I bough an Asus 1060 6 GB at Microcenter last week for $329. The shelves were completely empty, but they found one in the back. This was to replace a month old PIECE OF SHIT AMD RX580 which has PILE OF SHIT BUGGERED DRIVERs, yes, FUCK YOU AMD. Though I sold that card on eBay in 30 seconds for $300; payed $279. The Nvidia card works great; nice and stable in my kids PC. Once again, FUCK YOU AMD. Your SHITTY DRIVERS WON'T EVEN RUN ROBLOX WITHOUT CRASHING EVERY 2 MINUTES.

  5. Re:Idiot for buying a BMW on BMW's Apple CarPlay Annual Fee is Next-level Gouging (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The issue I have is that I can buy a $30k Japanese car and have 100k miles of absolutely...zero...problems. So I should be able to buy a $60k German car and have the luxury features, with absolutely...zero...problems. Though that does not exist. I don't why why the hell they can't pull it off.

    You’d be stupid for buying a BMW anyway. Nothing wrong with a luxury car, but “German Engineering” has an abysmal record of reliability and high maintenance. BMW knows they can stick it to the suckers.

  7. Re:Propofol is great stuff on Scientists Change Our Understanding of How Anaesthesia Messes With the Brain (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 2

    Well the strange thing is I had no memory of being wheeled into the OR, until 2 weeks later, then BAM, a sudden flash of full memory. The stuff messes with your memory.

    Ditto. Had surgery as a kid in the 70’s and woke up vomiting. Had it again a few years ago, a woke up feeling feeling awesome. Great advancement since then.

  9. Doesn’t the form 4473 (to buy a gun) ask about illegal drug use? They’d nail your for lying on the form, or deny a purchase if you tell the truth.

    Do they toss in a free organ donor card with that motorcycle?

  11. Re:Yeh no shit on Why Most Electric Cars Are Leased, Not Owned (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    I’m glad people fleece their cars. That way I can buy a 2 year used one at a steep discount. Bought a 2015 Leaf for $8k at 19k mikes.

  12. Did they eat one? on Construction Workers Find 30 Perfectly Preserved Dinosaur Eggs (bgr.com) · · Score: 0

    I mean, if hundred year egg is a delicacy, what about this?

  13. Seems most major windows 10 updates are pieces of shit that won’t install anyway, without manually flushing the update repository folder and stopping services.

  14. Re:Focusing power, but turned up to eleven on FCC Approves First Wireless 'Power-At-A-Distance' Charging System (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    All far field wireless energy suffers from 1/r^2. Arrays don’t help that, and suffer from d^2/lambda for the far field convergence. This whole thing is crap. It’s surprising the FCC approved it.

    You need sarcasm 101.

    They just need to use some deep learning with they blood tests, then maybe toss in some block chain authentication. Bam! Instant money.

    The millennials are having kids, and finding out that hip loft or apartment in the inner city, along with it’s school district, ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. They are fleeing to the suburbs. Soon they’ll be ditching the Feel the Bern shirts and voting Republican.

  20. Neither is California, since 1/2 of Mexico is already there.

  21. Actually they don’t even set a broken arm. They put a temporary cast on it and send you to an orthopedist.
