    A.I. Companies Are Recruiting Electricians and Carpenters by the Thousands

    Yup, I when I was getting my accounting degree there was a guy with a history degree there who was like yeah, turns out I need a job. I think there was someone with an English degree as well. My stance is that if you don't know what you want to do but you feel like you have to go to college, at...

    OpenAI says its AI went rogue and launched 'unprecedented' cyber-attack

    So I literally specialize in state and local taxation which includes credits and incentives work for clients building data centers, power plants, manufacturing, etc. I can tell you that they are not building in places that are not giving them tax breaks. lol, some of these states have written...

    OpenAI says its AI went rogue and launched 'unprecedented' cyber-attack

    Well at least right up until people realize they can't sleep at night and start having headaches from the noise. Also, so many of these data centers are built under enterprise zone incentive programs that they often don't pay any property tax for 10 years (I have worked in the incentives industry).

    OpenAI says its AI went rogue and launched 'unprecedented' cyber-attack

    Don't worry, they would never give AI access to something like weaponry or defense systems.

    I've been out of the game, what have I missed?

    Thanks. Good to know about the watts. Yeah, I would like something like a 2x 240mm and 1x 120mm but I'm noticing that a lot of the "watercooling" cases just mean a AIO cooler. It seems like a lot of cases are trying to do everything and end up doing nothing well. I already had to get the AM4...

    I've been out of the game, what have I missed?

    It has been a while since I built my last loop. Oh sure, my hardware isn't that old, but it has been essentially the same loop for 10 years now. I am looking at keeping my current pc hardware but downsizing to a matx board and a smaller case. Unlikely that I am fitting my current 480 and 360...

    Solar Panel Deal Thread

    Things have improved and prices have really dropped in the last year. 9 months ago I bought refurbished 150Ah 12.8V eco worthy batteries for my boat for like $170. Today you can get them new for like $110.

    Solar Panel Deal Thread

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo5dimvOWgs I don't know if I would by anything not reviewed and approved by Will Prowse or users of his website diysolarforum. My only real complaint with his reviews is he often cites amazon prices which are far higher than ordering directly from the...

    Solar Panel Deal Thread

    I support this thread. I'm in a bad state for solar (Oregon), but if I ever get some land I will probably build my own array on the ground. Also, yeah, not sure about eco-worthy for panels, but I have their batteries for my boat trolling motor, my nephew's electric tractor, my trailer winch...

    Ubisoft posts record $1.7 billion loss for 2025-26 financial year

    When I was getting an accounting degree, our capstone project involved doing financial analysis of activision vs ubisoft. That was like 7 years ago but as I recall, we concluded that Ubisoft had too much debt and was far too reliant on stagnant IP that they just kept releasing sequels to. I...

    GameStop Is Offering to Buy eBay for $56 Billion

    They fill a niche. Facebook marketplace and craigslist are good for small local, but not for storefronts that get national customers. Amazon is not great for used or non-SKU items. Imagine you part out cars. You aren't listing thousands of items on craigslist or facebook. Amazon would be...

    5900xt $260 @amazon

    Did they announce the pricing for the re-release of the 5800X3D? I'm just seeing "under $300" or $300 to $400" online which doesn't seem that enticing.

    What are you playing on your deck?

    They do, and they kind of work. The problem is that Diablo games are inherently "click to move" which causes some problems on handheld. They are meant to be played with a mouse. The D2 Resurected re-release changed it from click to move to just normal joystick directional and movement controls...

    5800X3D gaming review

    Actually, what the hell am I thinking, I do 99% of my gaming on steam deck.

    5800X3D gaming review

    Honestly, if these are affordable I might consider it. I had held off on upgrading to AM5 when it first launched because of DDR5 prices. Hahahaha, whoops.
