Regain Control in my ass
  • Innuendo in my ass.

    If I'd seen this post a few minutes earlier it could have been Good Old-fashioned lover boy in my ass, and a bit later would have been I want it all in my ass.

    The Queen back catalogue is full of winners for this game.

    Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO
  • Post submitters would have to get a cut to encourage them to post OC on the pay subs and file takedowns if anyone else reposted their content elsewhere. I think it could only work for single user subs.

    uBlock Origin developer recommends switching to Firefox as Chrome flags the extension
  • One of Googles biggest competitor's is the company "Meta" which is phonetically similar to the judges name. The previous commentator made a joke where they appeared to confuse the corporation for the person. A situation that would be absurd if true, and from there the humour arose.
    When a respondent (you) appeared to miss the subtext in the comment, and took it at face value, I made a post where I gave the impression I had made the same mistake , and suggested that the judge had previously had a name phonetically similar to "Facebook" which was the name previously used by the corporation now called "Meta".

    Such a situation would require a coincidence even more implausible and absurd than the first, and was intended to demonstrate that neither comment should be taken seriously.

    Your comment indicates you either failed to identify the absurdity, possibly due to confirmation bias following your previous response. Or you are attempting to "up the ante" by erroneously taking such absurdity seriously for further humourous effect. Your follow up comments elsewhere suggest the former.

    Regardless, the "joke" has now been thoroughly killed by way of explanation. You can choose to accept the explanation or choose to remain in error.

    Nvidia GPU partners reportedly cheap out on thermal paste, causing 100C hotspot temperatures — cheap paste allegedly degrades in a few months
  • Well I just re-tested my MSI 4070 Super Gaming X Slim. I got it back in January, and I reckon ambient temperatures were 3-4°c lower then.

    Running the same tests, GPU temperature max was 4.9°c higher, hot spot was 8.1°c higher. Not much of an increase when normalised for ambient, but still an increase. Funnily enough the memory was exactly the same as before, and that uses pads, which does point to the paste getting less efficient, rather than dust (of which there is some).

    Disappointing, but not all that dramatic. Don't think I'll need to repaste any time soon.

    Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world
  • A lot of people I work with were affected, I wasn't one of them. I had assumed it was because I put my machine to sleep yesterday (and every other day this week) and just woke it up after booting it. I assumed it was an on startup thing and that's why I didn't have it.

    Our IT provider already broke EVERYTHING earlier this month when they remote installed" Nexthink Collector" which forced a 30+ minute CHKDSK on every boot for EVERYONE, until they rolled out a fix (which they were at least able to do remotely), and I didn't want to have to deal with that the week before I go in leave.

    But it sounds like it even happened to running systems so now I don't know why I wasn't affected, unless it's a windows 10 only thing?

    Our IT have had some grief lately, but at least they specified Intel 12th gen on our latest CAD machines, rather than 13th or 14th, so they've got at least one win.
