Agreed, I think it was a perfect storm of a truly egregious murder and a population who had a uniquely unusual amount of free time to do something about it

I didn’t hear about a strike, I just heard there were a few parking their trucks as it didn’t make sense to work just to pay for fuel

Your last paragraph crossed my mind recently as the oil prices really start to spiral out of control. There were so many protests bordering on riots because people were stuck at home due to covid - now we’re already hearing news that truckers are starting to sit idle instead of driving at a loss.
Imagine how much free time and how much anger everyone will have when the economy grinds to a halt from product shortages all over the country.

on OpenAI Hoarding Tens Of Thousands Of Apple Mac mini And Mac Studio Devices, As ASUS And MSI Burn Through Their Entire First Batch Of NVIDIA RTX Spark Chip And Beg For More. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 31 Aug 2026
Oh wow you aren’t kidding. The dude I bought from on eBay @ $350 in February is sold out now. Guess I retract my statement.
This AI pricing is wrecking every deal on the market lol

9060xt 16gb is the most cost effective new GPU, but if you’re going used look for a V620 on eBay. It’s a 6800xt chip but in server form factor GPU with 32GB vram. Can be a bit of a pain to set up but by far the most cost effective option IMO

on First test flight of largest all-electric aircraft used just $5 of electricity in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
Heart aerospace’s website indicates the X1 demonstrator has a 140kt “VNE” - never exceed - speed. So it’s probably safe to assume cruise speed would be closer to 100kt, and $5 of electricity used in half an hour might equate to around 50nm straight line distance.
It’s pretty impressive for a plane roughly equivalent in size to a 30-seat turboprop airliner like the EMB 120

on Boeing 737 Max operators told to check fuselages for cracks in c/technology@lemmy.world · 7 Aug 2026
It’s mostly correct, but even before McDonnell Douglas in the early 90’s Boeing actually had repeat issues of 737 rudders reversing direction in flight, causing accidents. Their response was exactly the same as the MAX8 crashes, cover it up and blame the pilots. It even sounds to me like they tampered with evidence according to Admiral Cloudberg’s telling of it: imgur.com/a/5wcFx8M
Boeing, which had packed the valve for shipping, did not explain why it kept the spring and the end cap. It instead tried to steer the NTSB toward a conclusion that the crash was caused by a wind rotor
I certainly still agree things got MUCH worse after the merger though
16GB ram is plenty for everything but getting into LLM’s.
If you do that then more is always better… 32GB plus a 6-8GB GPU would be a basic setup for qwen 35b-a3b for example
