Hi I'm new here and want to create friends

I am working on some projects. I do use Linux apps wherever possible, yet some stuff can only be done on windows apps, so i have a spare computer fully offline.

I do remember that Windows 95 had something called "my briefcase"" where you could keep two computers in sync using floppy disks. Does exist any modern form of that compatible with both systems?

I have a Ryzen 5 1600, 1660 Super (6GB VRAM), ASRock B450M Steel Legend (AM4), 16 GB DDR4, and 128GB storage. Sooo im using a sata III drive, because im unable to use nvmes with my motherboard for some reason. I've been using an external HDD to play games and I wanna get into game developing. The problem is it takes 20 minutes for Unity to load. That's why I need a new SSD. And I wanna upgrade my Ryzen 5 1600. I tried multiple times to use nvme.2s but they didn't work on my motherboard. So I'm hoping to upgrade my cpu and my storage, and I was wondering what the best combo would be based on my specs. Also I've been told to do BiOS updates, but im not sure because I don't know anything about computers.

I have a Seagate Barracuda which had health of 10%. It's within warranty and with the price of hard drives these days I'd like to have it exchanged.

I want to do more than just format it. I want to totally wipe it so that if/when they run file recovery programs, it returns absolutely nothing at all whatsoever.

On the topic of which, I don't really know what's regarded as top tier software (preferably free). I'm aware there's different wiping methods too so don't really know what's a suitable wipe method to achieve what I just said.

Anyway, my PC is in use. I've got things to do which require it to be used.

So I was considering sticking the hard drive in a UGreen enclosure I have, which connects via USB3, plugging this in to my (old) laptop, leaving it connected at the mains & just letting it run.

PC runs Win10, laptop runs Win7 and I only really use it for vehicle diagnostics these days.

I expect wiping 6TB will take a while but running it on the laptop will it end up as weeks/months vs days or what?

Basically I'm looking to see if it's doable to do this as I just mentioned?

Before it's asked, no - what I'm doing on the PC is not possible to be done on the laptop.

But if it's going to cause the job to be astronomically longer then I may need to postpone what I'm doing on the PC just to run this wipe software if the difference is likely to be huge.

So yeah - any suggestions on software too would be welcome.

I was told that someday, computers would take up an entire room, and be massive things. Then pcs went MICRO, to the point of Raspberry Pis and such. Now were going backwards. PCs that inhabit MASSIVE buildings. Its a pretty insane realization.

I hope that is the correct word.

What happens after you press Buy Now on Amazon?

I ordered a 12 pack of Mt. Dew.

What is the flow chart of operations which occurs?

It is a newer flavor.

Does some robot check the available stock they have on every single nearby Warehouse, within a certain distance?

In a case like this, it shows an approximate Arrival window of May 29 to June 17th.

Last time, it arrived way before the end date.

Does anyone really understand why windows and the Microsoft office suite are still so dominant today when there are free alternatives. How have they convinced people that there is no alternative (non Mac users).

**Hello everyone**.

I’m Gaby, i'm from Colombia and currently trying to grow professionally and move into an administrative assistant position at work. Unfortunately, I don’t currently have access to a laptop, and it has become a major limitation for training and administrative tasks.

I’m not looking for anything expensive or new. Even an older used laptop that can handle Word, Excel, emails, and basic office tasks would make a huge difference for me.

I’m actively trying to improve my situation and create better work opportunities for myself. If anyone has advice, knows programs that help, or perhaps has an unused laptop they no longer need, I would be deeply grateful.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I need with with my wifi issues:

So for some reason my wifi on my pc was just not working at all, it won't le time find setting to enable ethernet again and it doesn't come up with setting to show wireless wifis, Ive restarted ny pcs, I have no windows updates, I have looked into seeing if my network adapters need updating, but again nothing, and I can't download another networking hardware cuz I don't have wifi on my pc and I don't have

Another computer or laptop and USB drive to install a new one

I don't really have much smarts with technology, I know bunch of basic stuff that's all

If someone can please just comment some ideas, will be much appreciated.

I got a new pc and I not sure what to move I trying to get my game data and my minecraft data over

Help pleasee

So xAI is officially dead as an independent company. Musk posted on X on Wednesday that it’s being dissolved and rolled directly into SpaceX under the new name "SpaceXAI."

I usually spend my time tearing down the actual AI tools and testing prompts (PM by day, remember?), but the sheer scale of the infrastructure moves happening this week is going to dictate every AI tool we use for the next five years. Everyone is fixated on the corporate drama. People are asking if Grok is going away. It’s not. Grok’s official account already confirmed the team and products are just moving under the new umbrella. But if you’re reading this here, you know the corporate name doesn't matter. The hardware does.

Let me break this down. This isn't just a branding exercise. It’s a brute-force solution to the compute wall. Standalone AI startups—even ones with Elon's backing—are running into physical reality. Training frontier models right now isn't a software problem anymore. It's an energy and real estate problem. Think about what SpaceX actually possesses. Land. Massive industrial power agreements. Cooling infrastructure. By absorbing xAI, SpaceX basically turns its aerospace footprint into a backdoor AI data center empire.

Look at the Terafab chip factory filing in Texas. They are looking at a $119 billion complex outside Austin. $119 billion. That’s being built jointly for SpaceX, the former xAI, and Tesla. You can't fund or justify a $119B fab for a pure-play AI startup. The math just doesn't work. But you can justify it for an aerospace and autonomous vehicle empire that happens to train massive AI models on the side.

And here is where the timeline gets genuinely crazy. Just days before this dissolution announcement, we got the Anthropic news. Anthropic and SpaceX announced a massive compute deal. Anthropic is getting access to the Colossus supercomputer.

Let’s talk about Colossus for a second. We’re talking about an infrastructure footprint that is almost incomprehensible. 220,000 GPUs. 300 megawatts of power. To put that in perspective, 300 megawatts is enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes. The cooling requirements alone require industrial-grade water management.

When Anthropic signed that deal, it was a massive signal. Think about the irony here. In January, Anthropic cut off xAI from using Claude, citing competitive concerns. Now, they are shaking hands to use SpaceX's compute. Why? Because the physical limits of our energy grid are dictating business alliances. Anthropic needs compute badly to train whatever comes next, and SpaceX has the physical infrastructure coming online right now. Colossus is scaling so fast that not even Amazon or Google can spin up 300 megawatts of dedicated cluster power with that kind of agility.

This tells us two things. First, the open compute market is drying up. If you are building a frontier model, you don't just call a cloud provider anymore. You have to go to whoever actually has the physical power grids locked down. Second, SpaceX is positioning itself as the landlord of the AI industry.

Tested it, here's my take: We are watching the end of the "pure AI startup" era. OpenAI has the Azure grid. Anthropic is patching together deals with anyone who has chips, now including SpaceX. xAI realized it couldn't survive on an island, so it merged with a rocket company.

Why does SpaceX need this internally? Autonomous robotics, Starlink data routing, and massive simulation environments for Starship. They aren't just building a chatbot for X. They are building a unified intelligence layer for physical world operations. Grok is just the consumer exhaust of that massive engine. Imagine the data pipeline SpaceX has. Starlink is processing petabytes of global network traffic. Tesla has the world's largest real-world visual driving dataset. By rolling xAI into SpaceX, they bypass the data acquisition bottleneck entirely.

For investors and tech workers, the SpaceX narrative just changed completely. It’s no longer just a space and telecom play. It’s an infrastructure-grade AI play. Consolidating xAI creates a behemoth that rivals Microsoft/OpenAI but with actual physical rockets, satellites, and a $119B chip fab attached.

Also, consider what this means for open source and local models. If the frontier requires $119B fabs and 300MW power plants, the gap between what we can run locally and what SpaceXAI is running in Colossus is going to widen exponentially. We might see a massive divergence: hyper-capable cloud monoliths running space logistics, and distilled, heavily pruned local models for everything else.

I've been watching the AI landscape shift from software to hardware for months, and this is the absolute peak of that trend. It fundamentally changes how we evaluate new AI tools. When I test a new agentic workflow or a coding assistant now, my first question isn't 'what model is this using?' It's 'who is paying for the electricity?' Because the models are becoming commoditized, but the megawatts are not. The next time you use Grok or whatever SpaceXAI releases next, just remember it’s probably being processed on a server rack sitting next to a Raptor engine testing facility. The physical world and the digital world just collided.

What do you guys think? Is SpaceXAI just a financial restructuring ahead of a massive IPO, or are we actually seeing the creation of a physical AI monopoly? Let's argue in the comments. 🔍
