March 21, 20215 yr What's even worse news, is the writing on that article you linked to; the grammar is atrocious. 🤣 Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

March 26, 20215 yr In the last few days both Linus and JayzTwoCents have put out videos that the market for most things silicon, and especially gcards, won't normalize until a year from now. Right now industry is in a perfect storm due to multiple factors, one which is highly exasperating is that crypto mining is paying top-dollar to strip the market dry. Things have gotten so bad that GM has stopped production of some models of their cars mainly because they cannot get the computer chips needed for them. I have plans to get a 3080 ti when it releases, though I imagine I'll have a 2 second window to buy one the moment it goes for sale. But I bet that straight away it'll go for around $1,200 US; if so I guess my gtx 1070 gotta last me another a year (gee, that'll make it 6 years old).

May 5, 20215 yr A new kind of plague on us! Storage-hungry cryptocurrency mining!

May 16, 20215 yr Just goes to show how dependent we have become on technology and how vulnerable we are to getting things we need. Take the gasoline shortage on the east coast of the US last week. The main pipeline supplying gasoline was hacked and held for ransom. Colonial reportedly paid 5 million. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-13/colonial-pipeline-paid-hackers-nearly-5-million-in-ransom We are all hostages to technology not only in our homes and businesses but also in our infrastructure. At any time we could find ourselves without electricity or water unless ransomware extortion is paid. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
May 17, 20215 yr Sony have put out a statement that the PS5 supply problem could well go into 2022 or 23. MS not saying anything at the moment XBOX X vapourware may find out more at E3 in a few weeks. Raymond Fry.
