Here's the fun thing:

In Denmark, at around 2016, when I built my first PC, motherboards were dirt cheap, but RAM was nearly the same price as my CPU (an i5 at around 2000 Danish kroner).

Today CPU prices are largely the same. But now motherboards are nearly the same price as the CPU, and I can buy 32GB of DDR 4 RAM for half the price of buying a full price game from Steam (300 Danish kroner for RAM).

Makes sense for kids that want to game. It’s also fairly small and can be concealed on a wall mounted workstation.

"RISC is good"

Most of us with 3d printers LOVE to help friends with stuff like this. For larger prints I ask for material cost only, or recommend they find a baller filament (glow in the dark, marble, wood, color changing, etc) and ask they buy what they want and I'll print.

Windows CE on ARM has an even longer history. I still miss my HP Jornada 720 with it's StrongARM SA-1110. Pretty sure I had that before or right around Y2K.

>a few years ago i was thinking about what if mecha hand got really good would i be tempted to chop off one hand and replace it.

I am hoping that biomechanical stuff really takes off before my natural body starts to give up. Cancer and heart failure are the leading causes of natural death so it would be nice to have "cures" for both.

Look at how thick that thing is. No one will want to use it. Will probably be very hard to even find a bag that supports it.

I’m missing an index finger can I have one

Electrocute is just a fun word.

For killed by electric shock, you can specify "heart attack" or "lightly cooked/extra rare."

Was the PCIE gen the same?

Gen 5 has 2x the bandwidth as gen 4. Rather than memory latency, bandwidth is usually the chokepoint for most memory related things.

Third thumbs?

No thanks. I don’t want my corporate overlords in Night City make me do more work because I’ve got more digits

I was looking to upgrade my CPU and mobo, but it turns out ASUS updated my b350 to run everything AM4, so I picked up a 5700x on sale. That should last another 4 years.

Where

EVGA leaving the GC space kinda broke my heart too... I have all GPUs from the 480 up until 1080ti from them, they were just soo good (damn nVidia for basically chasing them away with their practices...)

Mostly a tinkerer laptop it is. A regular consumer or hardcore hardware torturer (be it gaming, rendering, programming engines) won't benefit from it.

Sure. But idk why people think headlines like these are evidence of that. A product selling less than the year before happens all the time. In fact, it's expected to happen periodically during recessions (not that we're in one now).

I remember the days when a good mobo cost less than a mid range cpu... And a time when the top of the line GPU cost less than 8 months of my rent... Those are now but fleeting memories of a bygone era.

A cheap desktop PC isn't going to rub you that much. And honestly for the firepower you get it's typically worth it since you can upgrade as you go for years

That’s a very niche market with those revenues in the tech space. Not saying they won’t do well, but it’ll come down to price. It won’t succeed if it doesn’t align with the niche market at a price they’re willing to pay in terms of features and benefits. The question will be, so they get enough sales to get the scale necessary to make this cost effective.

Aha! So you're playing 4D chess with the Mobo Conglomerates... You bought their mobos for your printers so now you can print mobos yourself... Genius!

I apologize for doubling down on being pedantic. Although your etymology is correct, electrocute is to kill or injure by electricity. Therefore their usage was correct.

Technically "electrified", but that doesn't sound quite right to me, so I say "electric shocked"

So dumb that people mess this up every day all the damn time

LOL! The article fails to mention that almost no one is willing to fork over $500-1000 for a new motherboard (just the mobo here!), which is just an insane thought. Geez, my ASUS Crosshair VII x470 cost me around 300€ some four years ago, and I thought that was expensive at the time.

I switched to a mechanical Razer keyboard with their orange switches and it's quiet enough to type and has that mecha feeling which made my typing much faster and accurate.
