    That's like investing in dip as an alternative to cigarettes. At this point, everyone knows social media is bad for them.

    Cool, if bond yields go back up to where I bought these at, I'll buy 30k more.

    Mine are up +6.5% and I'm kicking myself for not buying more. That was the safest bet ever.

    This feels like a "sell the news" moment for DIS to me? I'm up 10.3%.

    This is exactly why I was talking about OEF two weeks ago. Unless something radically changes, the next 10-15 years is going to be winner-take-all for top tech companies. Even if a couple do get broken up, that wouldn't hurt OEF broadly.

    TL;DR: They were pretty shitty and increasingly irrelevant, but a few good people worked there who might be freed up to do something new. The old world is dying and the new one struggles to be born yada yada.

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    Vampires are gay and not the good kind, well, unless they're hot gay chicks. Even then, the verdict is out. Never been into vampires, they're so try-hard.

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    I've got Amazon for 5% there. Citi Custom Cash for 5% on gas. SoFi for 3% back on everything, but that'll eventually go down. Savor for 4% back at restaurants and 3% back at the grocery store. -But I have the old Savor that's grandfathered in with no annual fee.

    Most times you see companies mass-hiring offshore for roles that should not be offshored, it's because they've been purchased by private equity firms who are just trying to run out the clock on the business extracting revenue, keeping as many clients as possible, then implode the company with debt.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    It's definitely a riff on Ascension WoW, which one of my old raid leaders is absolutely ADDICTED to. Like life-destroying. So it's gotta be pretty good.

    Yeah that's the joke, for all of vanilla I constantly though I was a tank, especially after I got R13 gear. I had a whole tank set of armor for soloing shit or pretending to be badass.

    Oh weird an OLED monitor that's just left running at full brightness under retail lights looks like shit after a while? For most usage patterns you will never run anywhere near peak brightness at home, and therefore almost none of these burn-in issues are a concern. I run my Samsung G8 in ECO...

    LCDs fucking suck compared to OLEDs. They've always sucked. Backlight bleed is awful, black levels are terrible. Viewing angels are stupid. Gamma is garbage. It's impossible to go back after using a good OLED.

    I'll be dumping GOOG when it gets to green again or end of the year, whichever comes first. I don't see that company growing out of the bind they're in. I don't think they know how to build products anymore. If ads didn't print money they'd be dead already. Even if they build a revolutionary...

    I totally understand now how people would get rich trading bonds. My bonds are already up %4 if I were to turn around and sell what was very obviously a strong safe investment already. Seems really close to free money.

    Market went into a correction and all I bought was bonds, AMZN, DIS, and 5K more JEPI. At least once of those worked out. Maybe two if you count the 20-year bonds. Only bought $250 worth of SPY when it was down, from my dumb SOFI account.

    Tim Apple declined to do layoffs and took a paycut instead. Short run this is probably bad but long term it's still Apple, the most secure devices in an increasingly insecure world. M3 silicon looks great so far. I'd never buy one and yet can't help but compliment.

    Well, there's 2 different aspect ratios we're talking about. A 34" ultrawide is 1.5 27" monitors. A 49" ultrawide is 2x27" monitors. A lot of games still won't work right on the 49" ones.

    GovCloud, FedRAMP, all seems pretty useless. What exactly has the government made in the past fifty years that's worth stealing? A whole lot of effort goes into protecting those 9-digit numbers that thieves have already stolen from sixteen other breaches.

    Yeah, but when companies need 15000 GPUs to run their self-prompting, perpetually retraining proprietary god-simulacra, they're not running that on AWS.

    No, but you still want a K, compare specs on Intel ARK. Overclockability isn't the only distinction. Actually, you may still need a K to undervolt. Hmm.
