Yeah absolutely, these things are cyclical! Hold on to those cabbage patch kids.

Sorry this isn’t very clear. You’re saying who is a what now?

This version of the article misses important information from the original source Trend Force who issued a report on DDR4 prices which news sites have been quoting.

In addition to the supply constraints mentioned, the original report also cited Trump’s tarrifs which alongside the manufacturing supply slump could cause panic buying in the US specifically. This is speculation but based on the possibility Trump could “issue new tariffs or restrictions related to production capacity against China. This, in turn, may trigger another round of panic buying,”

The original report was posted to twitter with “Tarriff fears may trigger further panic buying”

It’s odd to talk about panic buying and not explain where that has come from. Also odd not to mention Trump’s tariffs when that was a key part of the original report in June.

The absolute basics:

1. Install qbittorrent
2. Install a VPN and run it so that all your Internet traffic goes down it
3. Open a Web browser and search for top torrent sites 2025. There are articles with lists of the big ones.
4. Go to a torrent site and search for what you want.
5. Download the .torrent file and open it in qbittorrent OR copy the magnet link and paste that into qbit torrent. Either will start your download.

Always use the VPN when searching and downloading.

There are lots of steps to make it more convenient - things like using a Virutal machine so the vpn and torrent do their thing while you do whatever else you want on your PC, or setting up a docker Servarr stack to make things more convenient, or setting up a Raspberry pi / other device as a servarr stack. But for the basics all you need is a torrent client, a VPN and a Web browser.

All the extra advanced stuff is just quality of life, like being able to leave it downloading securely 24hours a day or organising your downloads better.

I hope he wore a face mask during that brown nosing, or is face will be smeared in Trump faeces and fake tan.

He sold the company for $1.6bn, but he had a 10% stake. So his stake was worth $160m. He kept $100m. So he gave away $60m.

He did not give away a billion dollars. The article headline and the article itself is written in such a way that it arguably obscures the facts and confuses.

It’s great he gave away $60m but it’s got little to nothing to do with his opinion that he doesn’t believe in billionaires; including that in the headline makes it seem like he gave away a billion dollars.

What was their mission? Grandstanding?

I’d take some of the claims with a pinch of salt. Selling faster now reflects better availability of the Switch 2 compared to the switch 1 at this point in its cycle. The switch 1 was also sold out this close to launch but Nintendo wasn’t able to manufacture as many to keep up.

All this shows for now is that the Nintendo is meeting the initial demand better than it could with the first switch. It does not tell us it’s more popular or how well it’ll do overall. In other words all this stuff about it “out pacing” the swith 1 reflects better manufacturing availability rather than how popular the console itself is going to be long term.

While the switch 2 has undoubtedly had a strong launch, it remains to be seen if the mass market are going to clamour to buy them for Christmas when they’re relatively expensive, with a limited selection of exclusive games. Adult gamers/early adopters being enthusiastic about getting the switch 2 is a good sign but doesn’t necessarily translate to parents buying the console for their families.

The family and casual gamer market is the bigger one for Switch, and I honestly don’t yet see a compelling reason they’d rush out to buy one? 1080p.gaming, better performance and game chat certainly isn’t it. It needs some really compelling 1st party or excluaive games. Mario Kart World and Dokey Kong Bonanza plus a raft of old games really isn’t great.

I’m not seeing a big new must have exclusive game to help drive sales for Christmas. No big new Zelda, Mario or Pokemon game? Maybe Nintendo intend christmas 2026 to be the mass market year for the switch 2, and this year be to keep on top of initial demand but it seems a bit of a risky strategy to me.

Honestly, as a UK citizen I think my government is pathetic. Recognising Palestine as a “threat” is ludicrous. It shouldn’t be conditional on anything.

This just shows how weak and feeble the EU is. To see Von Der Leyen sitting their grinning and fawning over Trump was nauseating. They have capitulated over the fundamentals of free trade and gotten nothing in exchange.

I actually hope he does it because it’ll fuel the conspiracy theories in MAGA - “did she lie and did he do a deal with her for her pardon?”. He’s stupid enough.

How is a 1.6m man useful for scale? That height is in the lowest 1% of males. Choosing someone of that height and putting them next to the woman is purely done to exaggerate the difference. This photo is just staged to be eye catching and make her look freakish.

She is in the top percentile for women but comparing her with the bottom percentile for men is nonsense. She should be in a photo with a man of average height.

Yeah the Act shows the wilful stupidity of politicians who pass legislation without understanding the areas they’re legislating on. It’s a nonsense act that tries to look like it is “protecting children” and is performative nonsense for MPs to pass moral judgement on things they don’t agree with.

But in practice it’s a security and privacy nightmare, it’s restricting and interfering in the freedom and rights of the majority of the population all to satisfy a stupid moral panic, and it makes the UK look like a backwards state.

This is a combination of terrible legislation in the UK meets awful social media site.

The Online Safety Act is an abomination, compromising the privacy and freedom of the vast majority of the UK in the name of “protecting children”.

I’m of the view parents are responsible for protecting their children. I know it’s hard but the Online Safety Act is not a solution.

All it will.do is compromise the privacy and security of law abiding adults while kids will still access porn and all the other really bad stuff on the Internet will actually be unaffected. The dark illegal shit on the Internet is not happening on Pornhub or Reddit.

The UK is gradually sliding further and further into censorship, and authoritarianism and all the in the name of do gooders. It’s scary to watch.

Just cover it in some chocolate sauce. That’ll make it look better.

Open source software such as Ansible, Puppet, Salt etc deployed on a custom Linux server with networking hardware.

If you want an all in one system / support package then search for Ansible orchestrator for example; there are plenty of EU based companies selling their own network kit configured for Ansible.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but wouldn’t diffuse light be what it’s going to be best at? While it’d be worse on a sunny day when there is an optimal single direction for the light to come in?

It’s the opposite of a light house fresnel lens - instead of scattering the light source evenly out, it’ll capture diffuse incoming rays from random directions better and concentrate it on the photovoltaic cell? However it would be at the cost of being able to capture direct sunlight efficiently as only some of the lens would ever be in the best position to capture the direct rays?

That link is for Piefed.world; run by the same team that run Lemmy.world

There are other piefed servers which may have different email requirements. But the most likely reason Piefed.world requires real emails is to prevent bots making fake accounts and also reduce the risk of bad actors making numerous accounts to avoid bans. As it’s hard to get multiple real emails it makes it hard to make multiple anonymous accounts which is unfortunately a tactic of trolls.

You can of course create a dedicated “private” email account on an official service and use that to sign up if you’re worried about sharing your primary email account. A lot of people do this online to have a legitimate email but essentially in it’s own silo separate from other personal emails.

Yeah all you have to do is circumvent the security settings in your browser and suppress warning messages to enable Manifest 2, all in 8 easy steps (written as if it’s 6 steps to make it seem less onerous). For now. Until Google switches it off completely.

Or, drop Chrome and Chromium based browsers (such as Edge, Vivaldi, Brave etc) in one easy step. Install a privacy respecting Firefox based browser like Firefox itself or Librewolf.
