Sounds about right.

The Savannah, GA area political landscape is insanely corrupt. Chatham County is known as "Cheatem" county. If you think you can simply vote any of the bums out you're sorely mistaken. The oligarchs that own Georgia pay for certain outcomes - and they will get those outcomes one way or another...

Once people really start figuring out what AI can do then they're going to be significantly less inclined to trust these services much less plug their entire lives into them. This includes any local AI trojan horse that Microshit might come up with.

The answer is, and always has been, rabid anti-trust enforcement.

The system that I just swapped out was a v3 Xeon - I swapped to a v2 and performance wise it's easily as good. I gotta get the idle power consumption down with BIOS settings but it's great so far.

I'm selling most of my DDR4 hardware and for homelab stuff and going back to DDR3. v2 Xeons are just as good for my purposes. The lower latency DDR3 can actually be better in some cases I think. If it gets bad enough I might buy one of those chinese dual x99 DDR3 boards and throw some V4 Xeons...

they should introduce a 24gb dual 3060 model because why not.

They're just going to do it anyway. I once wondered what I had to pay to get online services that don't spy on me and to be free from the information dragnet and concluded that I, nor anyone else, has enough money to get away from it.

Bullshit, they're just going to look for another way to scam you out of your privacy and data or whatever else they can. They have huge buildings and salaries to pay for after all. Fool me once.... or twice.... or 1234123413 times in this case. They're not going to stop trying to scam you. The...

AI is basically the supermarket kiosk for almost every kind of job. Five cashiers turn into 1-2 cashiers and 10+ supermarket kiosks.

The cure for high prices .......... is high prices. At least it used to be.

in the future GPU's won't be sold with video outputs. Instead they will be headless GPU's and gamers will be forced to setup their own self-hosted game streaming setups using decommissioned cloud GPU's.

Maybe if DDR3 comes back in style I can unload my 6 terabytes of it (all in 64GB sticks)

We're all going back to Ivy Bridge Xeons and DDR3.
