I can’t run most games much above 100Hz with a 3090.

You are right that the author clearly has no idea what he’s talking about, but you aren’t quite right about some of the details.

The proposed “2nd law of infodynamics” just sounds like more or less an attempt at rephrasing 2nd law of thermodynamics from the perspective of information, which is closely related to entropy. This isn’t too outlandish, and modern studies of quantum mechanics suggest that information is a conserved quantity, which has some interesting physics implications, and is related to the whole “the universe is a simulation” idea which comes from a computation that there is a maximum to the amount of information that can be contained within a given volume, and this maximum scales with the surface area of a bounding sphere of that volume rather than with the volume, which is weird to say the least.

So he’s at least borrowing from some real ideas. But he’s completely non-rigorous, absolutely is not “inventing new physics”, the measurement of modern data storage devices is worthless for trying to get at the fundamental physics of information, and a lot of the discussion of entropy is poorly explained at best, or outright wrong at worst.

proposing that information is the fifth state of matter

This line I found particularly funny. It screams a lack of understanding of thermodynamics and what states of matter are.

It’s a DIY cardboard version of this:

Which is a toy based on the Yu Gi Oh anime.

There are many reproductions of the ocarina from the game but there are also like a billion different styles.

The Zelda ones are definitely the most popular though.

The Wii somehow was able to take both full-sized Wii disks and the smaller GameCube disks.

The police very, very rarely do anything about this kind of thing here. It’s not just Amazon; even everyday random people just stop in the middle of the street to pick people up or drop people off.

The worst offender is Uber Eats, which regularly completely blocks up roads near restaurants.

Uber Eats does this all day every day.

The match was close despite the age difference and also the difference in the level of class both before and after the fight was staggering.

Jake Paul made a fool of himself.

Or the Supreme Court makes something up about why it doesn’t count
