Is it not possible to just add a line for titles so they get two lines and leave everything else as is?

Yea, as Slaughtahouse said, the hardware increase is very minor. This is pretty much just a price drop. I like how gamers nexus put it in their thumbnail:

Just a side note about AMD drivers, one thing I love is the control panel and tuning options. The control panel is way better than Nvidia's. No need to sign in to anything to record videos. System tuning options for CPU and GPU built in. I used the control panel to auto OC my CPU, and I have my GPU a little underclocked and set to quiet mode. I never hear the fans ramp up at all and the performance difference seems to be entirely negligible.

Anyone check their tech stocks today?

Is there something about having room for titles that isn't simple? Seems pretty simple to me.

The goal here is to make titles more visible, which is really important IMO. The rest of the changes are preferential, but titles need to have enough room to be able to get the point of the title/headline across.

This is how it looks for me on my phone. An improvement overall, but I think it would look better if OP and Last were on one line and let that line be cut off if it gets too long. I think we will still see most of a user name if it gets cut off a little at the end. One thing I notice is that the bubble that shows the number of posts is always below the title, meaning the title could go all the way to the right edge of the column and sit above the bubble. I think the text below the title (OP, Last, Date) could all be slightly smaller too. Just like one or two font sizes down. I used some photo editing to move the text around to what I think it could be: This is just a quick example. Probably should have made it a little taller and left some space under the title for text that could go over into a second line, but I think you get the idea. The dead space under the user icon and over the bubble for number of threads could be better used.

The 4070 series is turning into the GeForce "16" part of the GeForce 1000 series. A bunch of different skews with minor performance differences among them.

I like it. The OP and last are two different lines with the date being a third line for me on mobile, but still better to be able to see the titles.

Amazon is just a collection of individual sellers, like ebay. I'm sure this kind of thing happens all the time. No doubt Amazon issued a refund once they understood the situation, and probably also banned the seller.

Toxic behavior online seems to be a growing trend. I'm sure it has everything to do with how social media tries to rile people up to maximize engagement. Seems like reporting rude comments would be a great task for an AI tho. Maybe they'll try that.

I agree, AI is definitely not a fad. We're really at the beginning of the AI tech boom. It's definitely possible that some shift in the tech's development could lead to an upset for investors who are banking on top chip makers to remain on top with high demand, but AI overall is definitely not a fad.

I was just out of high school back then, had no idea how to buy stocks. I remember seeing AMD at $2 and pleading with my dad to buy some, which he didn't haha. Can't blame him, I was just his nerdy son who had never talked about stocks before suddenly giving investing advice. It seemed clear to me that AMD would either go bankrupt entirely or their stock would have to go up, and knowing the stubbornness of the hardware enthusiast community to not let Intel win forever, I felt AMD simply could not fail and leave Intel with a monopoly, and so the gains were basically a guarantee. This situation with AI in general, not just AMD specifically, feels a little like seeing AMD at $2 back then in the sense that it seems extremely likely that AI related stocks will continue to go up with no limit that is easy to see right now.

It seems like any company deeply invested in AI hardware like Nvidia or AMD is selling water in the desert right now, and Microsoft is selling ice. I don't do crypto at all. I don't see any reason to investing crypto vs traditional stocks. Investing in one company you think might double is better than investing in crypto and hoping it doubles IMO. I only do tech stocks. All my investments are things I can fully wrap my head around. Aside from the covid inflation era, I've done well here. My brokerage account is up 30% over the last three months on Nvidia and Microsoft gains. If I had spare cash to add to my investments right now, it would go on AMD for sure. This is definitely a "rising tide lifts all boats" kind of thing.

My sub barely got warm to this. What is this, a Harley Davidson Club Reject playlist? You guys should really start linking Spotify file instead of YouTube, it's higher quality.

AMD unveils promo pricing in wake of Nvidia's Super launch — cuts pricing for RX 7900 XT and 7900 GRE | Tom's Hardware (tomshardware.com) Good start. If the 4000 Super cards get close to MSRP, AMD is going to have to cut prices some more if they want to stay competitive.

Could be a mix of both. Less sales, but also Google wanting to replace humans with AI where possible. I don't think Google is trying to eliminate wholes sales teams overnight, but have an AI that do some of the simpler tasks and thus lessen the need for humans to some degree.

This article seems like a good way to kick off this thread. Bill Gates explains how AI will change our lives in 5 years (msn.com) At the title says, this will be a thread to post news about AI and discuss it. Feel free to post any AI related stuff here, or in the news section. Either is fine. I see a lot of interesting news about AI, so I think it will be good to keep a lot of it in one place. Personally, I think we are somewhere between 6 month to 5 years away from some kind if AI driven robots to enter the market in an impactful way. Some interesting talks from tech leaders and insiders about AI: Bill Gates and Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) discussing the future of AI Interview with the CEO of Scale, a company focused on making AI data processing more efficient Jensen Huang of Nvidia on the Future of AI

True, but I feel like one could easily drop 2-3 news articles a day about AI with how the news about it has been lately, so I just don't want to fill up the news section with AI stuff.
