  • People in the VR scene also hate Meta because all the eye tracking information is being harvested and sold to ad companies.

    Did you know that the pattern your eyes move and what you look at and how fast you look at it and WHAT you look at can tell an algorithm how you’re feeling, if you suffer from certain specific mental illnesses or neurodivergence, your age and gender, and your core inner desires and activation triggers? Now give all that info to Facebook. For free.









  • I bought a 13600k a few months ago. Applied all the microcode patches but I think the processor is toast. If I’m able to boot up most programs just crash. Steam loads once out of every 10 times I try and open it. Forget games.

    I spent $400+ CAD on this processor less than 6 months ago. It’s unusable now. I will never ever purchase an intel processor again, even if they fix this and this never happens again. I was sold a defective product and I have no recourse to get my money back.

    I have an unusable computer.


  • We’re witnessing an all out war on the working class. My workplace had 4 years of 100% remote work and we changed all of our systems and processes to be optimized for a distributed wfh workforce. We too just got the order that starting October we no longer have telework as a perk. 5 days onsite no exceptions.

    We have studies and countless surveys proving how much productivity and employee happiness improved, but that literally doesn’t mean anything because senior managers want butts in seats because corporate real estate will lower in valuation if there aren’t butts in seats.
