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.

Why cant people stop brigading? Dude didn't even stream today yet this sub has been spammed by this bullshit today. Maybe you all should just go outside instead of constantly slandering someone else over a fricking video game. (37)

I respect Thor a ton. This just isn't a good look. Just accept blame and move on. It's a game. Why does Thor need to diffuse responsibility when he has stated the mage's blizzard ability and other tech are specifically there to save groups in dungeons? He knows about lvl 1 abilities saving mana. He knew he had a mana gem. He knew the group was trying to survive. Just say you made mistakes and move on. (-36)

Calling Thor a roach in WOW context is appropriate considering dude just ran. Obviously hate brigading and death threats isn't ok but none of that would've happened if Thor took accountability, didn't handle this drama in the worst way possible and didn't triple down despite being wrong.It's a classic example of Streisand effect in action. (-20)

The frick are you doing bro?The group had members who just woke up. They went in for a run completely unprepared and forgot all the items they needed to do the strat they wanted to do. They nearly wiped due to idiocy but escaped. A short while later, they went back in and AGAIN were unprepared and not paying any attention. They pulled 2 packs and the boss. At this point - the run was already fricked by the other players lack of competence.The call went out to run, again, and the group started to bail.Pirate was not wanting to get caught in the mess that an unprepared and unaware group had caused for a second time. Yes, he was also chatting and didn't call out the boss incoming, but it isn't a mages job to control where the tank pulls mobs to fight.While they fled, before it was clear they were completely screwed, the idiot druid started yelling asking "The frick are you doing bro", and calling people back to 'salvage' the fight.

Dude. It's a fricking game. (6)

To be fair it's just a game doesn't work in this particular instance since it's wow HC. Idk if you know much about wow HC but it's an mmo that you decided to turn on perma death. Still takes dozens or hundreds of hours to get anywhere and you can lose all that in just a moment because other people made mistakes.It is crazy to me to play perma death in an mmo but it's fair to say you cant use "it's just a game" in this kind of situation.

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡🔘

Because this is a game culture he has grown up in and was shaped by. I do not understand why people are surprised. Thor comes across as a really cool guy when he's dealing with the business side of streaming, or his ferrets or anything else. He was a peepee in that dungeon, and probably a peepee in Eve ( I didn't play Eve). Plenty of people are kind of peepees in video games. This isn't uncommon, he's a good player and being a good player he gets a bit of an ego that he's a really good player. And then something goes wrong and he makes a bad call, and that bad call leads to two or three more bad calls. Someone in his guild is probably going to DM him when this cools down going "hey man, you were kind of a peepee for this" And that will be the end of this because this is a completely normal interaction in any hobby where you stress yourself out for fun.

You won't do shit

Sounds like projection on your part.

I'm never going to be strong enough to repel a Nazi, but generalizing here, keep up your health. It is beneficial in so many ways I won't bother to list them. Everyone on reddit hates me because I always bring up cooking your own food, not smoking, not drinking, getting exercise every day, giving up fast food and ultraprocessed stuff. It's all key to keeping your body and teeth healthy over the years.

The effects are cumulative - one day you wake up and you have some godawful chronic disease, or your ticker isn't what it could be, or you need yet another root canal, and you are slowed down and inconvenienced by having to use the medical system all the time, take pills, etc.

Also, get an annual check up if only so you have a record of your own stats. It's actually interesting to compare your numbers year to year.

As a nazi myself, this is all really good advice. Regardless of what ideology you have, everyone should abandon unhealthy lifestyles and unhealthy food. Most fast food/door dash and other stuff you get in groceries are deliberately kept unhealthy in order to have a population that can't resist and constantly kept broke and in debt. (not to mention how immoral some of the sources of this food are.) You don't need to be shredded but eating well and working out daily with basic calisthenics goes a long way.

As someone who's immunocompromised from a COVID vaccine injury, I've learned that sometimes the best choice isn't to fight head-on, but to hide and protect myself. It's a hard reality, but sometimes survival means stepping back, staying safe, and waiting for a time when I'm stronger.

In Harry Potter, Harry and his friends often had to choose between direct confrontation and retreat. Hiding, like when Harry and his allies went into hiding in The Deathly Hallows, was often the wisest choice. It wasn't about surrender, but about preserving their strength for when it was truly needed.

Similarly, Anne Frank showed us the power of survival. She and her family lived in hiding, and though it was painful and isolating, it was their only chance to stay alive. Sometimes, hiding isn't a sign of weakness; it's a strategy to make sure we can continue the fight later.

For me, hiding isn't giving up. It's about protecting my health and holding onto hope for a better, safer future.

(OP) this is real and valid, but PLEASE try to avoid citing transphobic authors. Stay safe!

This thread is the most chronically online shit I've ever seen in my life 😭

I am trans so I don't want to lift too much, maybe some toning

That's a little ableist but I'll support the idea of being healthy! I'm on track at the moment having gone from 260 -> 250 lbs, nearly there =)

thats literally just water weight lmao you can drop that much in less than a week on any strict diet. So you haven't really accomplished anything. Don't pat yourself on the back too hard there bud

I saved this post yesterday before going to bed only to discover it crawling with MAGAts. How many are from here?

For anyone unfamiliar, the eponymous "crises" in the title are NOT about the evil orange man who is bad - Notes on the Crises is a political economy newsletter started a few years ago by Nathan Tankus to comment on the intersecting global economic disasters triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nathan is a @TracingWoodgrains style "truth neurodivergent" not a wingcucked political hack. He's just a big giant dork who does things like FOIA request the minutes from all US Federal Reserve Board meetings from 1967-1973

Nathan looks like this, and I would believe almost anything that he writes, because it is backed by powerful neurodivergent spirits.

When he writes about the COBOL code in the treasury department, I'm confident he's talking to beardy old men who write and maintain that code.

I would also like to clarify some confusion on social media. The issue with understanding and grasping a COBOL system is not knowing COBOL, as a programming language, in the abstract. Nor is it, god help me, something that AI can "do" because you fired one of these chatbots up and got some code that could compile when you asked "write me some COBOL code". The issue is understanding the specific physical limitations of the system, the way that it interacts with the "Business Logic" of the code and a million other contextual factors.

There is specific code which tells you where to direct specific payments in specific ways and the structures, and why they are structured the way they are, requires deep contextual knowledge. This is "business logic". The entire issue with COBOL and why it has been such a struggle to maintain it is that COBOL systems (both private and public) developed for decades with very little documentation, have a million different path dependent coding choices. Mar Hicks 2020 article in Logic Magazine "Built to Last" is worth a read on this topic.

This is what I meant yesterday when I referenced that 30 different COBOL systems at Treasury had developed their own "dialects" and they launched Payment Application Modernization (PAM), which among other things, unified them. What they unified was the business logic of those systems (as well as likely other factors, most notably the physical architecture of the systems they ran on). Part of me wishes they didn't modernize with PAM because those 30 different and distinct systems would have been more secure from their infiltration. PAM processed 4.7 trillion dollars of payments in 2024.

It's also true that some similar issues can emerge with other more recent programming languages and the way "business logic" emerges if a mission critical IT system developed using a more recent programming language. But COBOL is unique; after all it's literally "common business-oriented language". So while knowing the COBOL programming language is better than not knowing it, it does not make that much of a difference with these young Musk programmers mucking about.

Pretend you are as chill as him. He is so special

A call for Reddit to ban /r/Conservative

Since Trumps inauguration, he has done things such as rolling back the recognition of transgender people, anti-work discrimination rights and attempted to revoke the right of birthright citizenship. Elon Musk, who has spent billions to acquire Twitter in order to turn it into a propaganda machine for MAGA and other dangerous far-right ideologies and now has an official government position (also is close to being some sort of proxy-president) where he can remove anything that he deems worthless, has outright performed TWO Nazi salutes at Trump's inauguration.

/r/Conservative is about to become a community, due to Trumps recent takeover of the federal government, where people will become radicalized by false information spouted by MAGA that will ultimately make people more hateful and ultimately, potentially dangerous to the presence of others.

This is why I think /r/Conservative should be banned from Reddit, as they have a community that is about to become the next /r/The_Donald and should be dealt with before it's too late.

Surprisingly the top comments don't really agree lol

According to plaintiffs' counsel, Meta engineer Nikolay Bashlykov, who works on the Llama research team, wrote a script to remove copyright info, including the word "copyright" and "acknowledgments," from e-books in LibGen. Separately, Meta allegedly stripped copyright markers from science journal articles and "source metadata" in the training data it used for Llama.

I don't really have any gay friends. One guy I follow on the gram and I just found out cuz of valanetiMes day.

They seem very performative to me. Which is not a very male trait imo. Are they just making themsleves men for the female gaze? Like speaking English with a foreign accent vs being a native speaker. A lot of women seem to like them.

I was loose friends with a few lesbians in high school but I thought I had nothing in common with them. I'm just curious, what do people see in them? How like men are they? Do you think they truly like what they're interested in?

Don't mean to ruffle feathers! 🪶
