Back at it again!

the wife is in for a lucky night. 6 2.5in SSD's

ARM should go British Racing green, i know it is still green, but atleast it is BRG

RISC-V should go with the color black and/or gunmetal grey. It would be fitting for the whole open source and security theme of RISC-V. ARM is the british (now japanese) silicon firm... whats a very UK color? Maybe gold for the crown?

How about ARM use a color and an animal, like Black Horse. They are the Dark Horse entering the arena. 🖤🐴 Also it allows them to have cool box art.

Lol indeed. Look at that salt over a meme.

Regarding the colors, it's already weird we have two blue teams (intel and IBM), red is obviously AMD, Imagine (MIPS) has purple, Nvidia is green, so ARM holdings would have to get something distinctive quickly if they want in on this. Orange is a good idea, leaves a few good options for RISC-V, too.

Not getting the joke. Maybe it is because I am a European. All the "red pill" is to me is a fascist version of being a "woke" SJW. Could someone explain it to me?

You're the one that wrote the novel and missed the meta joke, we're not triggered, we're laughing at you.

Meh... I'm not going to be excited until we have a reasonably priced Samsung or Micron consumer branded answer to Optane. Latency and endurance, at this point are the only things that can excite me. My fingers are crossed on Samsung, because they run such a large operation that they are the kings of scaling to bring prices down.

Lol, this triggered waaay more response than expected. BTW, I no longer eat Tide pods. Only Ryan's redpills for me. They've turned me into a certified self loathing Black for Drump. *braces for backlash*

ArhGee

So who else is...excited...about the new SSDs coming to market? ;D

Nathan Mevec

Did you miss the point of the joke? Or do you eat tide pods too?

r/woooosh

Nathan Mevec

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. It's a JOKE dude. Just get over it.

perkindo

Very happy.

Nari Kim

That's part of the joke, dude.

Rationalwiki? lol

Ryan - "People don't like the red pill reference" Wendell - "it's the matrix" Krista - "oh... that's what you guys thought...? there is also a subreddit called r/theredpill" Ryan - "Krista this is all tied together, your the one whos outa touch here" Krista - "mmmmmmm" Ahahahaha, no shit? It's probably alienating a big chunk of your audience. Google search "red pill alt right". Since 2016 the term has had strong white nationalist connotations and is part of the recruitment jargon. I have a hard time imagining Ryan of all people wouldn't be aware of this. edit: yes I got the joke... but I live somewhere that I am having to deal with Alt-Right "patriot prayers" and Antifa "counter protests" on a near monthly basis. Recently having had to deal with alt-right wackos shouting their toxic shit at me, while walking home from the train, has left me with a bad taste in my mouth and thin skinned for anything that sounds like alt-right dog whistles. Honestly, I need to move to the suburbs, because my current place of residence has put me at ground zero for this shit, irl.

ArhGee

great nonsence section, we should get a iot section in the news and let Ryan take it as far down the rabbithole as possible

Atlassian already bought Trello in 2017.

So happy
