    Well, prosecuting Israeli citizens for possession of child pron and drugging & raping a 16 year old is now seen as anti-semitism. So... Yes, your desire for privacy is indeed anti-semitic, according to Mr. Greenblatt :maybe

    PS:
    Not even joking in that first sentence. That shite honestly reads like an Onion headline, doesn't it?

    Yes, MS has patents for in-game ads and also for a "credit system" based on your ad-viewing time.

    A day will come when modders have to remove ads from games somehow or people make add-ons for games to block ads.

    Same :pek

    This is why I refuse to engage with any sort of streaming system. Once the streaming is in, and then you lose local hardware, then it's up to them and you got no choice but to get fucked up the ass by ads. If it ever gets to that point, then I will simply give up on gaming, or hopefully older hardware will be around to play older games.

    Amazon, Reliance, and WEF don't even want people to own their own PCs. They want everyone to have virtual desktops only.

    Yup. I fear that once the whole AI thing kind of collapses (it won't fully go away of course), that will be the target for the data centres they have been able to build.

    That is indeed the goal. That and mass surveillance.

    It is also why storage and memory for personal devices is so ludicrously expensive now, and the world's only hope is cheap (but high quality) Chinese RAM and SSDs. Unfortunately, the West and their allies anticipated this and slapped ridiculous sanctions on Chinese memory & storage manufacturers.

    Dunno if the website just wasn't loading for shit for me, or what. Anyway..

    Yup.

    China is also prioritising within China first especially their own AI. They are also seeking to make profit, so I don't think their prices right now are much different to the others. But, yeah, in general that applies.

    Their prices have also gone up, but nowhere near as much as memory/storage coming out of S Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, the US, and Europe.

    China is indeed prioritizing their own AI. But the push is not as insane as in the US and its allies. They also built their data-centres taking into consideration local environmental issues, sound and light pollution, focused on renewable energy, and did not drain their drinking water reserves for cooling.

    Goodnight, beans & chicken.
