This is a depressingly stupid article.
quantamagazine.org/the-physicist-decoding-the-nonbinary-nature-of-the-subatomic-world-20250110/
Key question capturing the idiocy:
>Do the properties of quarks and gluons resonate with you as a nonbinary person?
>Yes, I think the simple fact that gluons carry multiple color charges means they are fundamentally nonbinary creatures.
Can it get any dumber?
Silly question. It can always get dumber.
>I am a physicist, but before that, I'm a person. If someone wants to just chat physics with me, you can't just get my physics, you also get the fact that I'm a trans person and hear about the environment I'm being asked to do my research in.
That's okay. I don't want to chat about anything with you, ever.

AMD is blaming Intel for shortages of the Ryzen 9800X3D.
tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-says-intels-horrible-product-is-causing-ryzen-9-9800x3d-shortages
Specifically because Intel's latest CPUs are so bad that everyone is now buying AMD. Since AMD's 9000 series before the 9800X3D was kind of underwhelming, although fixed with price cuts, everyone now wants the 9800X3D specifically.
AMD announced the 9900X3D and 9950X3D at CES, so maybe there will be more chips available for purchase soon.

Can the Nvidia RTX 5070 deliver 4090 performance for $549? No. Are you stupid or something?
theverge.com/2025/1/8/24338999/nvidia-rtx-5070-vs-rtx4090-performance-price
The Verge clearly pays its writers by the word, because it takes a very long time for this piece to come to the obvious conclusion that Nvidia is lying about everything.

It isn’t that she’s 43. She just doesn’t understand the market she’s in. The guys she wants are already married. Probably to women she considers beneath her

Giving people money doesn't stop them being poor.

Another UBI study fails without even asking the fundamental question of where the money comes from.

VW leaked data for 800,000 of its cars.
carscoops.com/2024/12/vw-group-data-breach-exposed-location-info-for-800000-evs/
This doesn't include your payment information. Just where you live, where you work, where you go shopping, where your kids go to school, and indeed the GPS coordinates of everywhere your car ever went, because of course VW was recording that and storing it on an unsecured cloud server.

Browser extension Honey, which promises to save you money on everything you buy online, is just another jew scam. I know right.
au.lifehacker.com/internet/112460/news/why-the-honey-extension-is-being-called-the-biggest-influencer-scam-of-all-time
Honey claims to find you the best available discount codes for whatever you wish to buy. It doesn't. Honey makes deals with merchants to control the discount codes it provides so that you don't get the best one. Sometimes it finds nothing at all even when valid coupons exist.
It also appears to change the affiliate cookie in your browser so that if you follow a recommendation, Honey gets the cut rather than the person who recommended the product. It does this whether it finds a coupon for you or not.
Honey also offers the buyer a bonus where you receive part of that affiliate deal. In the example in the video you receive 2.5% of the affiliate payout, while Honey gets 97.5%, and the actual affiliate receives nothing at all.

Honey was bought by PayPal in 2020 for $4 billion.
Browser extension Pie may also be a scam.

Which should be quite obvious since it's an ad blocker with a shopping extension that promises to pay you money, which seems deeply implausible. A good ad blocker blocks ads, leaving no money for anyone, least of all you.

The problem is clear: Our customers are dumb.
intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/ai-pcs-can-help-users-reclaim-time-chores.html
Intel commissioned a study to find out how much more efficient users were when equipped with a fancy new "AI PC".
It turned out:
>At the same time, AI PCs offered a potentially transformative impact on people's lives, saving individuals roughly 240 minutes a week on routine digital tasks. But the study also highlighted that current AI PC owners spend longer on tasks than their counterparts using traditional PCs. Study results show that greater consumer education is needed to bridge the gap between the promise and reality of AI PCs.
AI PCs make things worse, but the real problem is the users.
