The winners of the next crash will be home-labbers, and anyone with an actual use for excessive compute.
Example: A year ago I acquired server parts from 2017 (EOL'd in 2023) that let me build a dual CPU 40-core workstation that can compile Firefox from scratch in under 10 minutes (vs 2 hours). 🤯

in previous tech bubbles at least you could dumpster dive for some nice furniture at the end

Throwback to the Xmas when I spoofed mobile game ads too accurately, and no one clicked on the video.

love that software developers are advertising AI functionality in every single app now and it's up to you to try to figure out if they mean "this has spellcheck" or "everything you create in this app will sync in real-time to sam altman's personal laptop" or something in between

Are video games that actually push the limits of GPUs even a viable business anymore?
when AI crashes, will we able to use the leftover GPUs for games again? or are they so different from regular GPUs they’ll be useless? or will the chips be so burned out they’ll be useless?

😍 ... I finally remembered the EU is a perfectly lovely place to visit. Been seeing some folks at #39c3 sharing some cool things.
The only downside is I only speak English...
Realizing I may need to pickup a bit of German to enable me to attend certain events. 🤔

Something that hasn't been talked about much: Upgradable PCs have kind-of hit their limit. 😳
AMD's Ryzen Max+ AI CPUs demonstrate this best (ignore the AI part). PCs with these CPUs can only be purchased with the fastest memory if it's soldered. Slotted memory isn't reliable enough to go faster. 🫨

Weird tangent: has anyone running a PC with DDR5 truly felt their computer was orders of magnitude faster than a previous DDR4 computer?
To me, going from a laptop or Raspberry Pi with DDR3 to one with DDR4 felt like "night and day". The first DDR5 PC benchmarks I saw looked insignificant though. 🤔

Sister in law asked for MacBook Pro 2013 "tech support" for Xmas. My wife has been handling the software side, backing up files, nuking, and installing the latest MacOS. Me I just gave the machine an initial deep cleaning and surface clean. Screen was caked with gunk. Cleaned half to show how bad.

Tomorrow’s Boxing Day, my favorite part of Canadian Christmas, with its implicit permission to do next to nothing. Unless you feel like bargain-hunting when the shops are never more crowded.

Big shout-out to all those neuro-divergent folk that sometimes find this day, and the next to be extremely stressful. Its not just you! And yes, other people are infuriating, and yes, you can get through it! Don't be afraid to go find a quiet space for a while if you need it. And Happy Holidays.

We're open-sourcing the full CAD files of the CORE One and CORE One L, released under a new license we built for the maker community. Read more about it in Josef's new article: blog.prusa3d.com/core-one-cad...
