The situation on RTX 50 launch day looks dire. It seems that the few people who manage to find the cards in stock online will either be powered by fast AI algorithms or simply lucky to be near retailer servers.

We previously reported on the RTX 50 launch day lottery in Japan. The country is known for such draws, which, in order to prevent scalping, give everyone in line an equal chance to purchase limited-supply products. Only those whose tickets are chosen will be allowed to buy the product. While it's hard to call that a win, at least some participants don't leave empty-handed.

According to Japanese media, one of the lotteries at PC Koubou, which started earlier (around 15:00 local time), ended in chaos. People were seen climbing over the fence of a nearby kindergarten, and screams were heard. There's also a photo of a destroyed kingergarten sign (added above). The lottery concluded before many attendees even arrived, leading to frustration and disorder at the venue.

The PC Koubou Parts Hall has started calling for entries for a lottery to purchase the RTX5090, but the situation is currently in chaos.

Angry shouts were heard, and some people even climbed over the fence of the kindergarten next door.

@sarasteam0151 (translation)

Swedish retailer Inet confirms there may not be any RTX 5090 stock at launch. It seems they are waiting for an update from their courier company. Even if any 5090 units arrive, the retailer expects them to sell out immediately. The 5080, on the other hand, should sell "quickly."

According to a Redditor who compiled a list of MicroCenter locations and their expected RTX 5090/5080 stock, only 233 RTX 5090 cards were distributed across all stores in the U.S. Similarly, only 2,393 RTX 5080 models were allocated. This is an extremely low number of cards for launch day, though it's important to note that we cannot verify the accuracy of this list.

However, Tustin, California, appears to be one of the few locations where lining up might make sense. The queue is already over 300 people long show messages shared on Reddit, meaning that if the numbers above are correct, the last people in line won't even have a chance to buy a card.

While it's great to see such high demand for new graphics cards, it's difficult to understand why NVIDIA did not prepare a larger stock for launch. The company was not forced to release the cards this early, and there is clearly a significant supply issue. Nothing would have changed if the launch had been delayed by a month, allowing board partners to build inventory. This way, customers wouldn't have to rely on luck, fast reflexes, or being prepared to camp outside stores.

Key points:

No more internal fact checkers, introducing a community notes system

Removing restrictions on immigration and gender

Automatic filters only for illegal activity

Recommending political posts again

Moving the moderation team out of California to Texas

Working with Trump to push back on foreign governments trying to implement censorship on his platforms

Particularly goulash threads, quoted lazy style:

>Maybe Israelis should have learned the 15th time it happened. Don't negotiate for hostages, if they die they die

Replies: (translated from israli hebrew)

If you are a citizen and this is your opinion, then you should know that I tend to agree with you, but at the same time I thank God that I am not in a place where I would be asked to make such a terrible decision.

I'm an Israeli and I agree with him. It's a hard choice to make but if you make the wrong choice every time, they'll just keep doing it.

It's not my choice to make you are right but it's obvious to everyone that Israeli society is willing to make the dumbest choices decade after decade.

There is no hostage as valuable on this planet than an Israeli hostage because Israel will throw away every objective to get them back.

Turns out israli lives aren't as valuable as palestinian deaths

Do I see this wrong, or does Israel look like the loser of this deal / war?

Then somewhere braindead ethnonationalist garbage. Yeah. Israel really lost with its 1:100 KD ratio.

They should not be rescued except by military action even if it means they all have to die.

I hope everyone who insisted that Trump was a great friend of Israel who will surely have the Jewish people's backs feels pretty stupid now. A whole lot of American Jews were trying to warn you that Trump was completely untrustworthy, and Israelis just refused to hear it.

😭😭😭 NOOO our greatest enemy...brokers a peace deal for us :(( we want blood

Trump (and his sycophants) will just blame Biden on this whole deal

???? He took credit for it

Another translation from modern Hebrew:

>I appeal to all Israelis who oppose the deal (well, all the normal ones. Not those who are planning to starve 2 million Gazans to death or want to establish settlement blocs there because they think it will bring the Messiah or some other bigot)

What do you imagine that continuing the war will achieve? Do you believe that "complete victory" is just around the corner? If we continue to fight there for another year or two or five years, Hamas will disappear and we will have peace forever? And that we can leave Gaza and forget about it? Or do you think we will have to stay there forever. If so, are you serving in the reserves, and are you prepared to continue doing plus or minus six months of reserve duty every year, until you are 45? Are you prepared for your children and grandchildren to live like this?

Enough with the illusion. Hamas is not going anywhere. After a year+ we are no closer to taking down Hamas than we were at the beginning. The most that can be done is to take their heads off, but as soon as they are allowed to, they will recover, and if it is not Hamas, it will be another terrorist organization. The only difference is whether the kidnapped people will return or not.

One commenter mentions their desire for "the chanpiom program" in Hebrew. No such Wikipedia article exists, and English mention is almost impossible to find online, but here's the Wikipedia article: Click here for israeli genocide plans

Here's the english wikipedia article

It is kinder

Generally if you see Hebrew in the thread it's because they don't want the reddit admins to see their comment. Not always.

Most Based Comments

You mean woke policies (-11)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔥🔘🔘

The Chancellor speaks of what it was to be Australian. Being forthright and honest was always a central theme describing Australians yet today all we see are lies and distortions.While no sensible person condones the firebombings, lets put this in context. They were in protest against the atrocities conducted by the Israeli government against the Palestinian people in Gaza. It's that simple and only narcissistic people will see the truth and disregard the facts. (Note, government and not those of the Jewish faith).I agree with other posters that this country is merely a shell of its former self, and that, unfortunately, is a direct result of allowing too much media influence being given to one person whose agenda backs up the fact that once too much power is allowed in the hands of a morally bankrupt group; well, nothing good has ever come from that. (-2)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔘🔘🔘

You're missing some "context" there mate. Like the part where Hamas forces stormed into Israel, killed 1000 people and took 800 hostage which triggered all of this. (11)

So that makes it ok to murder 10s of thousands of civilians and children? (-4)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

What resonates the most for me is that we have lost our sense of humour and larrikin spirit. People overseas have this perception of Australia and Australians as knock about good humoured people. We used to be, we aren't anymore, we take ourselves and issues far too seriously. (13)

HTF can your main post be about rising anti-semitism (which I agree is a bad thing), then in this comment you're saying "we take ourselves and our issues far too seriously"???So should I take anti-semitism seriously or not seriously if it isn't personally an issue for me?And what does larrikin even mean? Is some dumb frick with no real understanding of history (too busy being a larrikin in Year 10 to listen…) who does an 'ironic' nazi salute as a 'joke' a larrikin or an anti-semite? What about the same kind of person saying dumb, stereotypical stuff about muslims? Or Blackfellas? Or even women? Should we take them equally seriously or is that taking things 'too seriously'?I actually do agree with you that we have lost a lot of empathy, community and even mateship somewhere over the last little bit. Like the slow progress towards equality we made over the last generation has suddenly been battered back by economic pressure, splintering social connections, pervasive social media disinf... (5)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

With that kind of attitude towards them, I can't imagine why you got banned before. It's a mystery for the ages. (1)

My 'attitude' of observing the fact they don't want to assimilate, they bring their hatred and cultural 'norms' that conflict with ours with them and then they have the expectation of we bend for them, and that is a bad thing for me to do? Muslims hate western society, and how we live, they make not secret of it and someone of us don't want to be hated in our own country…and that makes me bad? Why? For example, Sydney has seen a rise is gay bashings recently, violent thugs bashing lifeguards, Anti-Semitic fire bombings and vandalism. Last summer, it was a string of groping and sexual touching of women/girls at beaches, where they were let off because 'their culture doesn't know any better'. I wonder what 'culture' they are referring to. I wonder who is responsible for that. 🤔Violence is normalised and celebrated in their culture. It's not in ours. And recognising that's doesn't make me a bad person. (4)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

We are just mirroring what's happening all across the world.Bigotry and racism is a global epidemic and will only get worse while right wing propaganda spreads unchecked.Anti-Semitism is terrible of course but no worse than any other form of racism or hate crime.Will all racism/hate crime be classed as terrorism if Peter Dutton ever becomes prime minister or will that just be reserved for certain groups?All we can do is s stay vigilant and protect what we have and don't allow our politicians to politicise issues that don't deserve to be.

From the OP's post history: she's a single mom living in section 8 with an neurodivergent daughter and has various white women diseases (she requires a "mobility device" to get around apparently)

I know its just an app. Its just one outlet. Its just one space to go on the internet but its also so vital in how to do so many things. I learned how to do the following:

Becoming a better mom

Learning how to advocate for myself and my kiddo

Finding a community

Developing better skills to find better jobs

How fix shit around my house (for better or worse. lol)

What symptoms are signs of (whatever is possibly causing my symptoms)

Unlearning so many shitty traits from systemic issues

ALL.THE.RECIPES.

And now...its just going away. Capitol hill couldn't improve healthcare as a country, improve the housing market, cutting the cost of food, or stopping school shootings but hey, they did it. They banned an app that brought so many people together...

On to the comments:

I see the ban in essence as a form of controlling our algorithms and to only support / allow AI to train on pro US narratives and not on anything counter to it.

I'm a very casual Tik Tok user, and I'm upset about this. People are going to lose their livelihoods over this, and it smacks of censorship. So what's next? Reddit? Tumblr? Pinterest? AO3? It's ridiculous this even happened with so many other issues in our country.

Yep. So many people in my life aren't make the connection of what this actually means. We're witnessing an iron curtain rising. And its devastating.

NGL being a SAHM mom with no village and no friends, tiktok was my socialization and how I was able to find some sort of community and even just talk to people. I'm struggling with the fact that life is about to get lonely and isolating again.

Tik Tok is the reason I finally cut ties with my crappy religion and political party. It's the reason I finally saw why the full range of women's rights matter. It gave me a reason to be politically savvy. And it's the reason I see the ban for what it truly is. I'm terrified for what this means for Americans, and I fully crashed out on my other social media apps today before logging out and deleting them from my phone.

I understand that "he" won, so I won't throw a temper tantrum about it (like some people). I concede that this is what more than 50% of the voting population wanted. But I won't go down without expressing my concerns, if for no other reason than to say "I told you so" in 2 years

Does this idiot not realize that it was that enacted TOTAL ZOOMER DEATH? What does Trump have to do with this

I wish I could do more than upmarsey. This is everything.

I became a RedNote turnover 🤭 it's great, most of the TT's I followed are there now

Actually looking forward to learning Chinese...

I joined TikTok during covid like a lot of people. My algorithm eventually led me down a path of seeing content creators who were talking about SA, abuse, manipulation, gaslamping and all sorts of content on toxic relationships. It was then that I realized after nearly 2 decades with my husband that I was in an abusive and toxic relationship. My normal meter had become so fricked because of his manipulation that I didn't know up from down. I finally had the language to describe what I was going through and the courage to leave. Been out 2 years now and living my absolute best life. Where before I was dying a slow and painful depressing death.

TikTok saved my life.

I'm annoyed by the people who don't use it lacking any empathy or perspective. They'll say it's brain rot, shallow entertainment, a source of misinformation, then turn around and spend hours on Reddit or twitter or instagram like it's any better.

The wishful thinking part gets me. Like, what makes you think Reddit is safe? FB? Groomercord? If one goes, they can do this to whatever they want.

Unfortunately reddit, groomercord, and Facebook aren't controlled by the Chinese so they are safe. But I pray for the day of TOTAL GROOMERCORD DEATH.

100 comments in about an hour. Lot of people literally shaking.

MUNI operators are on the lookout for ICE agents

It's time to get our DOX ON

skankhunt coming in with some quality commentary. I have an episode to rewatch

AHHHHAHAHAHAHA I never thought I'd see a comment like this but here comes "tech/white lives matter" in a thread about our poor Honduran drug dealers

Anyway I'm pretty stoked how housing is going to get cheaper/available and construction labor is going up let's fricking gooooooooo

I better see KTVU filming ICE soon. If Boston is getting some LEO love I demand it NOW!

Remember that Mike Pondsmith, who invented all this crap, is a BLack man who has exclusively dated white women since he was a teenager so this is OK.

Anyway, I started the Dogtown part of the game (from the Phantom Liberty DLC) which is very good but the small area is a little too busy which causes some serious jank and framerate drops. The new car theft missions have caused my PC to crash a couple of times. Apparently the REDengine CD Project Red use is just not up to maintaining a game like this. They have already announced they're dumping it for future releases and rely on Unreal 5. I've had some shocking glitches while driving- cars appearing out of nowhere, falling out of the sky like that guy in Morrowind...

I even had a car spawn directly under me, catapulting my car 30 feet into the air. The game has avoided this from being too immersion-breaking by making almost every car that has collidedwith me driven by a woman.

There is a character in this game called 'Mr. Hands' who seemed to change his voice actor. This is controversial so I innocently googled "Mr Hands voice controversy"...

Yeah, they maybe should have checked that name before they used it.

1. "notice how the Father is absent?"

2. "imagine bragging about being a failure as a parent" "this you and your gay dog?"

3. "no Father... typical" "bro, you look like a cardboard cutout" "bro, you can land an airplane on that forehead!"

4. "stop projecting, moids" "you look like the most Fatherless hoes on Facebook"

5. "anyone notice who isn't in the picture?" "did you ever consider it's the Father taking the photo?" "could also be the butch lez lover, a furry or a non-binary hoe"

6. "we're doomed..." "cry more" "I'm not crying, you're cooked!"

7. "nah I'm leaving my kids" "POS" "sorry Daddy left you"

8. "if a Father has a gay son, he failed as a Father" "what... how?" "no one is born gay, deal with it"
