I wish I was more religious.

In what way? You wish you were a better xxxxxx at your religion ? (I put xxxx because each religion has a different name per person, ie. Christian)

I wish I was too, but I guess we could be, if we looked for it ;)

I've got something about work I wish I could change, not sure if it relates to you or not,

I look at people who work, work as a whole, and then life, and I see one thing only,

You work to live, and you live to work, then you get a few years as a grey old person, then you die.

I've got a bee in my bonnet about that, I continuously think, "What TF is the point in life if you spend your days doing something you hate / if you're lucky, like, but still spend your entire able life working just to live ?"

Kinda makes life pointless imo, I know and 100% understand you can not rely on others to survive, and work is 99% of the way out and away from that, but you know what, I disagree, I would prefer to live life in a wooden cabin, miles from anyone, living off the land and have my life to myself / spend with my partner, than donate 90% of my life to someone who needs sausage rolls put in a cardboard packet (example)

My life is mine, and yes I have to pay for what I want, but I would prefer to be without than (and if this was possible) look down at my life in fast forward and see the young me, turn into the old grey me, having done sweet FA other than worked for someone my whole life for no other reason than to be alive....

Well said mate! I know the feeling and living that way certainly make's life no worth living. How come we cant live life the way we want to?

Besides that, if I can change something about my life than it would be for everyone to stop pretending I dont exist. I feel like I have to lower my IQ so people can acknowledge me..... :\

You work to live, and you live to work, then you get a few years as a grey old person, then you die.

If you think about it, would you regret the things you did, or the things you didn't do.

The latter is, to me, by far the most important.

That's why I live by the motto: Live each day as if the world is ending tomorrow.

;) You exist, as for the IQ thing, I have crap General Knowledge, which, in things like pub quiz's I do horrendously badly, but quiz me about computers and I do just fine

Just because you have an interest in one particular thing, vs most people who know loads about everything but FA about one thing, doesn't give you a low IQ at all

Quiz me about GK I would be as stupid as a monkey

Quiz me about PC's, I'd shine

IQ tests are flawed ;)

EDIT - just re-read your post, you feel you have to lower your IQ to relate to people, well yea, I think people who understand computers, do, in general, have a higher IQ than people who don't, and that is not a dig at non-techy people, just a statement based on experience

But I still hold the above, we might be PC Wizards, but they might be brain surgeons... it all depends on your particular interest I guess :)

I regret more things that I did do, than things that I didn't, in my younger days I did everything offered to me, which makes up for 90% of the things I do regret

      I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
