- Is the Dough Spectrum One a true Studio Display competitor? (9to5Mac)
This article violates Rule One of the internet. Rule One, though, is Never read the comments, and the only interesting part of this article is the comments, which point out:
1. This is only a 4K monitor, not 5K like Apple's Studio Display.
2. This uses LG's 4K LCD panel, which while quite good is available in much cheaper monitors, including from LG.
3. "Dough" is a respin of the the company "Eve" which is infamous for never shipping products customers paid for, and seven times never issuing refunds.

- Humble Bundle is offering 38 Discworld books for $18 though apparently only in the US because the site tells me to piss off.
- Text and voice chat company Discord is laying off 17 percent of its staff. (The Verge)
A thing of the past indeed.
- Google also laid off about a thousand staff and closed its Mountain View daycare center. (SF Gate)
Just call this year 2023B and be done with it.
- AMD has revealed its next generation desktop CPUs which are a mix of current generation and previous generation chips. (AMD)
Which doesn't mean they are bad, but Zen 5 isn't expected until near the end of the year; these are Zen 4 and Zen 3 chips.
The Ryzen 8000 range consists of laptop chips, bringing much better integrated graphics to AMD's desktop platform - up to twelve graphics cores instead of two.
And the new entries in the Ryzen 5500 range bring lower prices - six cores for $125, or eight cores with the X3D expanded cache for $249. They also support cheaper DDR4 memory, so they're great for budget-oriented builds.
Disclaimer: 2023B or not 2023B...

If the beer companies start firing workers, I'll be really scared. The massive logjam of useless shits in the tech industry finally getting flushed should make conversations at your local McDonald's drive-through a bit more tech-savvy. Maybe.
Can AI actually do most tech jobs? No, but then most tech workers can't either.

In theory, 'neural network' based AI should have more sensory or signal processing function than yeast.
But, while I can replace the average journalist or futurist with a LLM, or a magic eight ball, those are not anywhere near a good replacement for yeast.

The Dough Spectrum One Geometry Dash has been touted as a potential competitor to Apple's Studio Display, but some are skeptical due to its 4K resolution, use of LG panels available in cheaper monitors, and concerns about the company's track record.
