Be careful of that last anonymous poster folks. I think he may be one of the many hackers I know from Tribes 2 virtual reality. If you reply to any of his messages, he will be able to hack your computer using a virus he developed. Trust me, as someone who has admitted to herself that she has a problem.

And my favorite of the first comments page:

First of all I would like to make an apology to your kids on the behalf of the human race that they have such poor parents. This sort of ultra-conservative self-serving bull**** would make me vomit if I wasn't laughing so hard.

I had my mom, a technological neophyte read these article. She knows little about computers, but even she found some of your points, especially those about Quake, a faster ISP and AMD highly comical.

At first I thought that this article was a joke, but after reading the comments below, I'm not so sure, and I'm frankly a bit frightened at the blind hostility to technology that many of you seem to exhibit.

In fact, many define hacker as a person who merely looks into software code to see how it works with no malicious intent. All they have is a desire to figure out how stuff works and in some cases, improve it.

Perhaps the informative posts here have informed the confused that this article has only comedic value and is frighteningly inaccurate. If not, I fear for our future.

"and Peter betrayed the principles we tried to encourage in him, when he refused point blank to " click that betrayed link, i shat myself when i read that.. the comments are priceless too ->

"I was inclined to laugh when I started reading, but then I thought 'what if this guy is for real, I can't believe there are still such narrow minded and ****-witted idiots walking the Earth!'"

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
