being pedantic about "GIF" is especially funny now that its become a genericized word for short videos without audio most "GIFs" nowadays are h264

Also, while I don't have a reason to doubt that Steve Wilhite is responsible for the invention, neither his name nor a pronounciation guide is included in the official spec from '87. Interestingly, the very first line of the spec seems to indicate that it's supposed to be an initialism, not an acronym - which in turn means it gets the pronounciation of the g sound. EDIT: Also, the spec from '89, which added animation, doesn't include pronounciation or Steve's name either. BlankSystemDaemon fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Oct 5, 2022 |

Also, English isn't a rigid thing, people pronounce things how they want, some of it catches on, some of it doesn't. Both are valid ways to say it.

Jif is a peanut butter. Gif has always had a hard G. I will wage holy war against those who disagree.

I like when people make videos to get people interested in a subject and teach it. I don't mind if they have to make it seem more interesting that it is. This is why I have a hard time with how goofy and off-putting I find the presentation of NetworkChuck's stuff. I want people to learn IT skills, but calling everything hacking and lots of thumbnails with the Guy Fawkes mask from V for Vendetta plus all the talking about coffee which he now sells is just a bridge too far for me. I think he can be in the tech idiots thread even if he may provide valuable resources to teenagers who may incidentally learn something useful in the guise of "hacking."

Yeeeeeeppppp. His stuff years ago was good, he seemed a little more intense than a normal person but otherwise OK, and the coffee stuff he only mentioned in passing with dedicated coffee talk only vids But he stepped up the intensity by about 1000x now. The last thing I want trying to learn something legitimately useful for a cert or something is a guy acting like an over the top minecraft YouTuber my 7 year old watches, but about network subnetting.

I like how much time is spent on the injections, but the mitigations just get a passing mention. The very least, some more detail into parameters would have been nice.

Retrograde posted:Oh man is he a crypto bro or something now? I remember his donut tutorial for Blender 2 a few years ago being pretty decent. His most recent version of the donut tutorial is basically a long ad for his donut NFT collection, and he did an entire video arguing in favour of NFTs. I also think the tutorial sucks rear end for actually learning Blender these days because he's terrible at explaining why functions work, you're just following instructions as he constantly brags about having SLI Titans and saying he doesn't understand why any of this works.

Koskun posted:It isn't really a gaming or not issue, just them running at all they put out a lot of heat, and thus consume a lot of energy. Well, ended up picking up an E5-1603 V3 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD and 1TB HD for $179.99. Then bought an E5-2680 V3 for $22.00 and another 16GB of DDR 4 for $40.00. So I'm out the cost of a comparable Ryzen 7 2700X for an entire built system short of 10 minutes to swap out the CPU and stick in 4 more DIMMS, unless I am missing something that seems like a more than solid deal for a dick around with home server. edit: I may very well be an idiot, I don't game and my primary computer is a M1 Mini and a 2018 MacBook Air that I take to work with me to dick around on the internet not using my work computer. This all started wanting to play with Home Assistant and given current Raspberry Pi prices, just running it virtualized on this wasn't that much more expensive.

So apparently Twitch streamer Asmongold and a bunch of others got together and started a PC building company with the former staff of Artisian Builds. Linus Tech Tips did a video review of one of their more expensive systems and then Asmongold did a live reaction to Linus's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPrJKQ2HH28 (He plays Linus's video in its entirety, including the sponsor segments.) It has some pretty funny moments, including how mad he gets at Linus dunking on the company's logo (which, Linus's puerile humor aside, is terrible because I assumed it was supposed to be an Atari 2600-style joystick and not a hammer, which is what Asmongold insists it's supposed to be).

If you do it right in the first place you literally never get somebody pestering you for support.

However, since the ODMs responsible for IBM-compatible clones skipped out on including ECC memory because they figured it wasn't important, despite the fact that it in the PC specification, it's entirely possible to build a system completely correctly and still have a lifetime of support because the gear misbehaves. All to save a few cents on systems already designed down to a price, and we've paying off on that technical depth in the form of lost productivity and decades of dealing with Heisenbugs, and will seemingly continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Which seems to be whenever DDR5 is in every system, since DDR5 finally includes (per-chip) ECC - which is at least better than no ECC, lthough you don't get the benefit of knowing when an error correction happens and when an uncorrectable error happens via an NMI.
