Amazon isn’t doing this because of AI, that’s just Amazon PR glazing up Wall Street with the hope of finally getting the stock to go up. It’s been flat YoY, so they think saying that it’s cause of AI will make line go up. It didn’t work in October, and it’s not gunna work this time.


These layoffs primarily affected AWS, and AWS is where Amazon makes the most of their money. Like, almost all of it.


LLMs are a good scapegoat, but it’s really just marketing when you get down to it. They can tell wall street that they’re laying off people and replacing them with AI. It’s a method to try to pump the stock. Notably Amazon’s stock has been flat YoY, so they’re trying everything they can to boost it.


The protests have been happening, and are now in that area: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ASr1zVuQlX4


Amazon and other tech companies have 90 garden leave for layoffs, designed to bypass WARN. Basically, they don’t have to do WARN until everyone is already laid off because technically they’re still employed.

ECC these days is decent, I wouldn’t hate it even in my gaming PC. It’s the HBM that I’m worried about.


Surprisingly, Craigslist is rather active in my area. It’s still not as active as marketplace, but it makes it possible to get by without having an FB account.


At least with the X1C there’s a third party firmware (X1Plus)

A recruiter at Meta constantly messages me asking if I’m interested in working there. I’ve told him several times that I won’t ever work for Meta, and yet he still reaches out. I’m gunna use this example next time he does.


Property records in most states and counties have a web portal with a search bar. You input the address and you can get the name of who lives there. The opposite is true in some places as well, you input the name and get the address. It’s not good, don’t get me wrong, but it is “very public” in most places.
Luckily, my state doesn’t have you register your political affiliation. That’s what is most worrying about Texas doing this, since they do have you pick a primary. Otherwise, it is basically just public records.


Well, that certainly would confuse users, yes.


The state can still technically charge the murderer even if the feds don’t, though. They’re definitely there for propaganda and to muddy the water either way, so still to cover for the fascists.


I suppose, it just seemed like putting the blame on the consumers rather than greedy, short-sighted executives.


Ayy, another one created today! Nice!
I would never trust a phone with Graphene pre installed. I suppose you can check the hash on boot, but to be completely sure that you’re secure, you should install it yourself.
