I respect Asimov very much, and USA has always been a weird duality society, a society of opposing sides.
And there were always problems like slavery, and when that was abandoned extreme discrimination even to this day.
A lot of the social programs structure in USA is designed to keep the “slave class” in check. With a demeaning food stamps program, and lack of healthcare for all. Having healthcare through your employer is a form of slavery too.
Logically you shouldn’t be ashamed because of how other people vote, but there have been occasions where I have been ashamed of our government too.
So if I was American, I would probably be ashamed too. All the idiots reflect poorly on the rest of US, disregarding which country.
Problem with USA though, is that it is such an important country for the rest of the world too.

This is because many reasons, you see the weather wasn’t particularly good that day, and most Americans have accepte3d the Republicans gerrymandering the vote for decades without repercussions. So it is not the Americans fault that the American system sucks, it’s the Canadians I tell you, the Canadians are ruining America.
By god I’m so tired of those American apologists, saying it isn’t a majority when the election result was accepted by a VAST majority. And 100% for sure there was not a majority of voters that voted against him. And even if there were, it wouldn’t change that insanity id part of American society today. This includes lack of healthcare for all, and instead having a slavery like healthcare paid by employer system. Also lack of gun control, taking away food stamps from the poor and hundreds of such issues where American society is designed to work in a sociopathic way against the poor and the sick and minorities.
American society is sick, and that goes way way beyond gerrymandering. And ultimately the American voters are the ones responsible for the system.
So Absolutely the American voters are to blame. And that even includes Americans in the democratic party that keeps the democrats a wall street party before anything else.
Thirdly you can still buy funny hats that aren’t MAGA.
Your defense of Americans reeks of desperation. It’s not that I don’t understand you, but it sounds like you are a bit in denial.
Not respecting US patents would be huge.
Trump is literally insane, he is a malignant narcissist (psychopath of the worst kind possible) to a degree that he completely denies reality.
Shame on the majority of American people for electing such a man president.
I will never see USA as the same again after electing Trump TWICE! Bush was already a huge step down when he was elected for a 2nd term. But Trump is insane, and I can only conclude that insanity is a major part of American society for electing him again.
This has been true for some time, it’s just that with Trump it’s gone to another level.
Obviously that is very different and way more acceptable. You see Russia selling cheap oil to USA benefit USA which is good. Russia selling cheap oil to India doesn’t really help USA, which is bad.
If India paid a 10% tariff to USA for the oil they import from Russia, it would be much much better.
It’s not really that hard to understand. America first!
/s
The double standard of USA is insane, USA is a despicable country reserving rights to punish others for what they do themselves.
Also USA should now b sanctioned by the rest of the world for doing exactly what they demand others don’t. USA is a traitor to their allies, and that should not go unpunished.
but Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung aren’t stupid:
No they are not, but it seems the industry has a bit of a gold digger craze, and think this AI thing will continue to grow forever.
the big box consoles will be replaced with computers.
I think you are wrong, the PC is dying, and the consoles will have even bigger advantage from mass production in the future.
Most people don’t care to maintain a PC just to play games, and most people don’t really have any other use for a PC anymore.
Even without subsidies from Microsoft and Sony, the current gen consoles were cheaper than an equivalent performing PC when they arrived. But in the future that may not be true, it’s all down to profit maximization, because there is no doubt a console can be sold cheaper than an equivalent performing PC.
I’m just a casual user today, I used to stress my computers to the limit, but not anymore.
So I most definitely would make very poor use of maxing my RAM.
Back in the day I loaded DVD 's into virtual drives in RAM, to make games load faster.
For some reason the Linux kernel works best with a swap disk, so I had that in RAM too, and of course temporary files.
These things are of course banal although they were extremely efficient back in the day, and this was a thing I learned already back in the 80’s where the Amiga made similar things possible.
Today with fast SSD drives I don’t feel the need, and to be honest I already have more RAM than I need. And since I don’t program anymore either, which I always found interesting to explore the capabilities of new hardware, I have become an “average” user. 😳
I always hated consoles, as a waste of a good computer you couldn’t do anything with but game.
But I think consoles will be fine, consoles are mostly for children, and they will get exclusives to drive up sales.
But this is a bad time to make a new console, still AFAIK both Sony and Microsoft are planning new ones next year?
Microsoft are sitting on huge stockpiles of hardware waiting for the data centers to become ready.
Absolutely moronic. 🤡
These data centers probably won’t get built,
Seems like everybody is playing 4D chess now. 🤥🤥🤥🤣🤣🤣
Good point, still there will be a massive amount of production capacity, and not enough customers to fill that capacity, so the prices will drop fast, as competition grows to utilize as much capacity as possible, because it’s extremely expensive to shut down factories, or run factories at below capacity.
People are staying with their old hardware longer
Absolutely 100% my experience too, my computer is a mix of 2-5 year old hardware, and I’m still on the AM4 socket which is 9 years old now! It is a newer motherboard but I started on that socket way back in 2017! The upgrade path for AM4 has been insane. 😋
In the 90’s I wouldn’t have a single component that was 2 years old.
IDK if that’s because I’m older, but definitely it seems the advantage of upgrading every year is diminishing, and the price is increasing. Sometimes I would even buy a new GPU 2 times in the same year. 😜
I wondering if there is any benefit for me in having all the RAM my motherboard allows for when this bubble burst, and Ram prices fall like a rock to rock bottom.
Until suddenly AI demand vanishes and huge orders are canceled, and the makers see themselves with loads of unsold stock, and the prices plummet.
I’d give it 6-12 months. But only time will tell.
Absolutely, infinite greed and total lack of morals.
