Qualcomm’s acquisition of Arduino and the company’s new Terms of Service sparks major concerns in the open source community over privacy and terms of service. What will happen to the Arduino open hardware and how does this effect Linux users? We'll do a dive in today.

@dusk knot before you purchase I suggest checking Amazon Refurb market. If it's in Excellent condition it won't have visual damage and comes with all parts + box.

#

You can usually save 30% or more going with Refurb - Excellent condition.

Just dealt with the rudest bestbuy employee I have ever interacted with

#

I get dropped off at our local Best buy by my coworker everyday, because it's part of my commute home. And usually I have about 15 to 20 minutes of time to kill, so I go into the Best buy, I look around at the new products, and I stare at the TV in the back because I've been trying to be motivated to save up for it to buy it for my mom and I

I've seen this TV easily over two dozen times now, but I noticed that the price has changed. The prices are significantly higher than they have been every other time

I asked the guy for clarification on which TV it is, and instead of telling me which model it is, he snarkly tells me "that TV is $3000" with a horrible attitude

I then asked him what the actual model of the TV is so I could look it up, and then he told me "uhhh, it's the one that says $2999.99 on it" in a super rude tone

I then told the guy "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't assume it was the new one considering you guys haven't removed the new sticker from the previous generation one."

To which he then went "oh yeah, look at that." And then turned and walked away from me. Like didn't end the conversation or anything, just bold-face turned and walked away

A weirdly large amount of muscular mods for male characters

I could have sworn that's been like well known information for over a year? I've never even played rivals, and I know it more for the mods that people make for it than the actual game itself

So are the normal outfits for women in video games anyways, so what

dense locust

I wouldn’t post them here

I for one think men should also be depicted as going into battle in skimpy outifts in video games. Mostly for my own comedic satisfaction but if that is your thing that's cool

How to disable mouse acceleration

some games has it as an option in their own mouse settings as well so youd want to disable it there too unless its a game that has good mouse acceleration

the ai voice is so uncanny

i was legit on edge hearing it

fair onyx
#

It's funny cause the open source community has had AI voices that sound 100x better for like over a year now. I don't understand how these companies are still so bad

Only thing I will applaud ava on is the fact that it's not just reliant on grok, Gemini, or ShatGPT. They mention being able to route it to your own personally run local models, which is a big bonus IMO

dusk knot
#

It's fake and has no concrete value.

#

Get out of your hole, get some therapy, cope, find meaning in life, and go get yourself a mate

#

Ones and zeros are just as inanimate as a rock. Feels and experiences nothing.

#

But I do understand that there are cases where no one is willing to give them genuine help or attention.

#

They need a push to get out of that zone.

# misty sparrow what are you talking about

Mass Effect 2 and I believe Mass Effect 3 had camera shots during specific cutscenes dedicated solely to having her behind in the pov. And her primary outfit was a skintight catsuit that had a rectangle cutout below her neck to give some cleave

wow

that’s crazy

pseudo raven

i think you can play it safe without chasing dividends

#

id only really chase dividends if i really had a lot of money

They were removed in the Legendary Edition. And someone readded them with a mod

if your account is under like 10k id just

i started with 500 bucks a couple years ago

and i did a lot of stupid crap with it

eventually something hit and then i started investing a lot more safely

jesus just called broke by a youngling lol

pseudo raven

i did many stupid things man

gleaming sedge
#

clearly not enough if you got that kind of money

pseudo raven
#

i think when i started with 500 bucks

gleaming sedge
#

about to be 21 and have like 120 to my name

pseudo raven
#

it immediately went down to like

#

300

#

for like MONTHS

#

and then i slowly got it up to around 800

nocturne flicker
#

I only have something because my grandmother had a house

pseudo raven
#

at which point i went all in on crypto mining calls

which turned into 5k because i got really lucky

#

from there i put it all in nvidia

which is where it is now

yeah my dad made

a lot of fun of me lol

I no longer try and do anything with what I have, even small amounts of play money. I have sworn off big gamba

if they go down to like 90 id bite but 200 no even though im buying partial stocks

#

I now buy the market and chill

i dont know where else to put the money so

until i figure that out its going to stay here

i was thinking by mid 2025 nvidia would have some real competition but

#

clearly not

gleaming sedge
#

jesus i wish i had that kind of money, some people have it so so lucky

hey man i only started with 500 bucks

you can do it too

but scared money doesnt make money so i wouldnt be afraid to lose it

no school as i have awful memory so didnt go to college. i did work until November when my manager fired me via discrimination. my family didnt let me work when i was in school so i didnt get to build up any kind of experience and have money + a good job once out of school. so i am now going to be 21 this year and broke like every other year. last two jobs i had since out of school i was lucky to break 12k a year but thats normal around here if you dont have college, trade school, or spoon fed a job you dont get to make any kind of money

As someone who has 100k in stocks, they are gamba

gleaming sedge
dense locust

It is

pseudo raven
#

you cant make educated predictions in gambling

#

well i mean ok

kind of

dense locust
#

You can

#

You’re just proving our point

not in the same way you can while investing

if you genuinely find those things the same i have no words

"Gambling is defined as the act of risking something of value" aka money. for example i bought wendys stock it went down i lost money on it. i go to the casino play slot machines loose money

pseudo raven
#

why

#

would you buy wendys stock?

dense locust
gleaming sedge
gleaming sedge
pseudo raven
#

well yeah you gambled on a stock then

#

if you make an educated and informed decision that isnt gambling

nocturne flicker
# pseudo raven not in the same way you can while investing

My man, any and all predictions in investing are based on guesses using current data that changes the instant it isn't current. If anything actual gambling has better predictions because there are set rates at which you win and lose for each form of gambling

pseudo raven
#

you cant

pseudo raven
#

be serious

#

yes so you can choose the stocks with the most favorable predictions

gleaming sedge
#

but at the same time it is because no matter what you are still risking money and you can never truly have a educated and informed decision with stocks unless you are a worker there and get insider info

pseudo raven
#

gambling is literally a random number generator

gleaming sedge
pseudo raven
#

if you saw the way ai was growing last year youd realize that everything was going to need a lot of memory

#

and here we are

#

sandisk is up what

#

700% in a year?

nocturne flicker
#

And we live in a world in which the leader of the largest economy in the world can make a random announcement that causes random stocks to go up or down

pseudo raven
#

you can definitely treat stocks as gambling, but you can also put a lot more thought into them

pseudo raven
#

at which point i see it as much better than gambling

gleaming sedge
gleaming sedge
#

plus to truly make it worth your while you need a large amount of money like 5 to 10k

pseudo raven
#

hey not really

#

you do need some disposable income but

#

thats why i was saying you should be less risk averse if you only have a little money

#

but obviously if your choices are rent and investing then even that isnt possible

gleaming sedge
#

maybe but its hard to even find the risks to make without throwing the money away

#

also ngl it very much upsets me that i didnt buy sandisk now 460 dollars in june 2025 would have made you a profit today of 3327 before tax so more like 3k

pliant berry
#

Most of my investments i just pretend don’t exist

nocturne flicker
#

There is a reason why "Don't time the market" is a major mode of thought with regards to stocks. Because nobody has the capability of accurately predicting the actual changes that will occur in the market.

pseudo raven
#

no

#

the reason people say not to time the market is in respect to like

#

recessions and everything

#

and because annualized the stock market is positive anyway over a long enough time

#

that doesnt mean you shouldnt make any predictions at all

nocturne flicker
#

That is not what don't time the market applies to

gleaming sedge
#

idk just so many chances to be rich and have more than 120 to my name and i never get lucky enough to get them

nocturne flicker
#

It means don't bother trying to predict a low or high for a stock or series of stocks because you aren't going to be able to do it

#

Just set a strategy and go with it asap

gleaming sedge
nocturne flicker
#

You aren't going to be making anything with dividends at the amount you are working with

pseudo raven
#

yeah thats what i told him

#

chase gains not dividends

#

dont be afraid

#

dont be stupid but dont be afraid

gleaming sedge
#

no but im making more than i would buying and selling since taxes takes it all by buying selling

pseudo raven
#

capital gains tax

#

shoudlnt be anything in your bracket?

#

although thats after a year

#

so

#

i guess so yeah

nocturne flicker
#

The only time you should be focusing on dividends is if you have a large sum (in a tax advantaged account) that you want to keep in a single asset for a long period of time and you aren't interested in a big capital gains tax when you sell off the stock

pseudo raven
#

yeah like

#

if i won the lottery

#

now i dont need to make more money

#

than what i have already

gleaming sedge
#

where im at if they can tax it they are going to try to get it. gotta keep the depressed poor people poor

pseudo raven
#

what

#

if youre making 12k a year

#

how much tax do you even end up paying

lone mango
#

None

pseudo raven
#

short term capital gains are just taxed on your income

nocturne flicker
#

Capital gains tax rates are very very very favorable right now for people at low incomes

lone mango
#

No federal tax

nocturne flicker
#

If you keep them long

gleaming sedge
pseudo raven
#

if you keep them long theyre favorable for basically everyone

#

well

#

not really rich people but

nocturne flicker
#

There is no ltcg tax for up to something like 46k income

pseudo raven
#

i think its

#

46k capital gains

#

not income

#

but

#

yeah im pretty sure

gleaming sedge
#

id be freaking hitting a jackpot at 46k

pseudo raven
#

yeah that would be 46k in straight profit

#

also arent dividends treated as taxable income?

nocturne flicker
gleaming sedge
#

probably idk. i just have them roll over into new stock

nocturne flicker
#

Dividends are taxed as regular income

#

Which is why you only want to do dividends in something like a Roth

gleaming sedge
#

oh well

#

couple more years ill be passed the making it rich age anywho, goal is to just move out by 30 and ill be happy

nocturne flicker
#

Keep in mind Roth is a retirement account. You can't touch until like, 59 and some months or else there will be a tax penalty

pseudo raven
#

oh my bad

#

either my dad explained it to me wrong or i understood it wrong

nocturne flicker
#

Its fine, tax law can be confusing

#

Especially since the wording can be vague

pseudo raven
#

i was talking to him about this a lot last year

#

i think it mightve been in respect to my own situation

#

i dont report any normal income since im in college

#

so selling all of it wouldve still been at 0%

#

yeah it really is complicated lmao

gleaming sedge
#

to complicated

#

but thanks to the wonderful education system most people know nothing about it and will struggle a lot to understand it

nocturne flicker
pseudo raven

well last year it was actually

a lot lower

now yes

but

it was right at about 45k around then

maybe i should gamble put all i can into amd and hope ai takes that up for me

yeah i genuinely cant believe that amd hit 94 in may 2025

You may have more wiggle room on Intel, but Intel is a risky bet because at any moment they can just flop and the stock'll take a hit kekw

If you really just want to put it into something and just throw extra money at it whenever you can, find a target date retirement fund and just keep it in that

pseudo raven

nothing worth it is ever easy

#

doesnt mean you shouldnt try

gleaming sedge

i am just hard to find anything that does not need college or trade school that will still pay more than 12k a year

In this week's video, I upgrade my electric drift kart with even more power! In an attempt to drift this kart even faster, I upgraded the controller to support more than 25,000 watts of power. Unfortunately, something went wrong...

I wonder if this actually isn’t the real price and it has something to do with getting it available in this country

I mean it is Czechia

Iirc, Czechia has higher than average prices for electronics compared to the rest of the EU

#

Y'all. Valve distributes their own hardware. Why are we taking prices from a retailer at face value?

worn wave
#

Someone did the rough math on Reddit and it's like 750 USD for the base model

worn wave
nocturne flicker
#

Also pre-tax implies sales tax

#

VAT is added to the price before sales tax is even added

worn wave
#

Ah

nocturne flicker
#

Because VAT is a tax added during production and distribution

pliant berry

misty sparrow
#

okay, so how much is the steam controller

#

they never actually said how much it was

#

and i dont recall any leaks about the price

pliant berry
#

no I don't think there was much mention about the controller prices but if I were to take a guess it would probably be in the premium controller price range. like between 100-150usd

nocturne flicker
#

And up to 21% of that 950 will be VAT because that is the standard VAT rate in that country

#

Meaning the real price is anywhere between 750 and 950 based purely on that one number minus VAT

velvet summit
worn wave
#

Fwiw the original steam controller launched at $50 I think

#

Granted the new one has a ton of improvements

#

I would expect 80-100 USD, maybe the option to bundle one with the steam machine for a discount

lethal jasper
#

should i bother moving my refresh rate to 144 instead of 180 or does that not help in preserving the monitor

velvet summit
worn wave
#

Oh really?

velvet summit
#

Valve said that when they announced the machine yeah

worn wave
#

Huh

#

$750 with a controller would actually be pretty solid

velvet summit
#

Unless valve decided to make some SKUs not include the steam controller at launch, but I feel like that is less likely? I would assume since they're probably launching everything at the same time (or around the same time), the machine would be bundled with the controller by default, and then later on they add a machine only option

they must be hitting the cpu in some crazy ways

i haven't played it in a while so never gave it a try on new pc

genshin impact beats aida64, y-cruncher, prime95, occt, core cycler, linpack, heavy compiles, karhu, x264 video encode

at making 9800x3d go boom

I say this without the slightest hint of unseriousness

#

no other game, stress test, or productivity use case was able to make that curve crash in 6 months of use as a daily driver

#

but genshin loading screen absolutely thrashed it

#

instability found within 15 seconds

I reverted ram oc to test it as well and it's very reliably reproducible with CO tweaking only

does apple ever attend CES?

just a random question

its likely but they realized its mid

(i didn't read the ai summary)

velvet summit
elfin mural

apple did attend the CES once in 1992

and never again

#

but tbh for a mostly hardware company

#

especially one with a cult following

#

they don't need no booth to get sales

misty sparrow
elfin mural

tru

misty sparrow
#

could only assume they tried and it didnt go so well

elfin mural
#

it absolutely did not go well

#

because the CES timeline didn't match apple's actual release date

#

announcing a product way too early ruined the hype

#

the announcement took place before the product was even available

#

and i couldn't lie, i hate seeing an announcement being made and having to wait months, or even a year to see said product on the stores

better to have more players in the market than none

I saw a story about that. You can't reverse engineer stuff and be on the cutting edge though. For lithography for compute being 5-10 years behind you're not getting anywhere.

opaque sedge
#

But for evs

elfin mural
#

does it really matter though? especially with nvidia wanting to re-release old rtx gpus

#

3060 is apparently going to make a return

heady plinth

If they make a $200 or less 3060 that's a fine budget card.

Will the 3060 be at msrp again cursed1

elfin mural

i doubt they'd make it that cheap

#

sadly

#

msrp is likely knowing nvidia lol

and it could be a different variant of a 3060 as well

heady plinth

So do I but until they price it at $250 and just cancel the 5050 I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
