Box Edition
The first version is the clip used as the ending theme for the anime Ningen Fushin. While it's great, it is unfortunately the best thing in that series. The show isn't awful, but it is a bit disappointing.
The second version is the official video.
Box Edition
Top Story
- There's a new fastest gaming graphics card on the market: The Nvidia RTX Pro 6000, priced at around $10,000. (Tom's Hardware)
For five times the MSRP of the previous leader, the RTX 5090, it's all of 14% faster.
And it draws 596W of power under load, compared to the rated maximum of its 12VHPWR connector of 600W. So if anything goes wrong, that could be $10,000 up in smoke.
I think I'm good with my 7800 XT for now.
Tech News
- Microsoft's new hardware certification standards mean fewer USB-C ports. (Tom's Hardware)
Well, the idea is that all USB-C ports should be able to deliver data, display, and power. But not all USB-C ports can deliver data, display, and power, so the cheap, simple, and bloody obvious solution is to drop any USB-C ports that don't comply with the new rules.
- The IRS just open-sourced its file-transfer software. (Reddit)
And it's actually good?
- Microsoft Edge Game Assist is here. (Hot Hardware)
It tells you how to play your games, something that everybody loves.
Fortunately it's easily avoided by not using Microsoft Edge.
- Why do lawyers keeping using ChatGPT? (The Verge) (archive site)
Because they're stupid and lazy.
Just like journalists, but they face real penalties for their stupidity and laziness.

Yes, although the card should also be able to pull up to 75W from the PCIe slot.

As far as I am concerned, Edge is a better Chrome. (And I still primarily use FF).

If Firefox had not gone full Big Brother and their developers had not gone Crazy Communists, I would still be using it, since it's feature set had the most number of features I wanted in a browser. But I have to use inferior substitutes - I have not been impressed with Brave very much.

They all suck, so I use the one that still has Manifest V2 (else I'd be using Edge, honestly.)

The last version of Firefox I was using (Until it no longer allowed the use of UBlock Origins.) was from well before the start of the crazy times at the developer, so I was left with no FF to use for serious or semi-serious stuff when they went full Communist.

cxt217, I'm not sure what you mean about UBO. I'm using it right now, with 139.0.1, which I think is the latest, with UBO, with no problems. (If you don't want to use it for ideological reasons, that's cool.)

Rick, my copy of Firefox was installed a LONG TIME ago, and being slow to upgrade when I was offered the option, I did not upgrade before it was clear that Communists doing Communists things on Firefox. At that point I simply did not upgrade Firefox until it became the install became so old that IIRC it would not use or allow any extension because the install thought up to date extensions were 'unverified'...Which meant no UBlock Origins.
