Well. I think there's a lot more that goes into pricing than is controlled by changes in demand. I'm absolutely sure there are actuaries that do this for production process planning. I was typing up a treatise on the various ways demand (and related) factors can change pricing, but I sliced my...

In fairness, I think the argument is a bit more nuanced than that. It is indisputable that there's an effect on demand from mining. The argument is more over the relative price impact.

There are no less than 10 people on this forum, and more in the local area, that are using cards from me, used for this purpose - with full and complete disclosure. If you know and trust the supplier, there is no reason not to use the cards at a favorable price.

There's a lot to unpack here. The Long and Short of it belongs in soapbox, though.

I have thought about it, considerably. I think there is a significant (to me) difference between an authenticated or licensed print of an existing and published work, or the rights to the same, than a newly fabricated imagine that has ZERO associated value, other than the hustle for the rights...

Eh. I bought another Xbox two days ago. All I wanted it for was to play fortnite with the kid.

Blah blah. More console. Where's the xboxes at?

It has been a while.

Yeah yeah yeah, but what about the XBOX's? GPUs are readily available - I get it. A halo series x? Tricky.

I'll get to the bottom of this. I'm gonna need a duck.

Anyone seen xbox series x (or bundle with extra controller) pop up recently?

Baby 2 Effect.

You didn't tighten up your belt for it???

What is gamepass ultimate? I'm considering this bundle - but really all I want is the Xbox and a controller. I've been playing fortnite with my kid and split screen sucks. I don't play anything else. In fact, even as I type that I can see I'm better off just finding a local pick up used...

Yours erek ?

Man. I need some 32" 4k displays....

Good get.

I'd go with that as a likely point. Then again, given the MASSIVE secondary market for GPU's right now, I'd consider coming in extremely strong - maybe ridiculously so.

In for two.

Not bad. I run through them pretty quickly and lose the hell out of the bits. For me, better to buy packs of 25 or 50 in each size and use them as consumables. Which...they are.

They don't have anything to sell. Why would they put what they do have on sale?

...are you not entertained? Or, as Erek would have said - excited?

I remember Kyle doing a video where he very clearly disclaims, "we aren't saying you should do it this way, or that it's the best way - but it's how we're going to do it." It was probably application of thermal paste or something.

Alita. Yes. Of course, my first (and only) impression of it was from the live action movie. But I enjoyed it.

What's this?

This.

Eh. Certain use cases probably scale better than others. I am content to leave it in the rear view mirror. No support. Terrible scaling. Double the usual double investment now. I'm getting soft in my old age.

Big iron guys may be concerned with it. For the every man? Meh.

1,600 gigahash. Man, it makes my (former) operation look like a joke.

There's an additional discount. See top left of the ad.

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

Someone is probably getting thrown out of the 27th story window.

Yikes. Necro. I've since replaced all that stuff with Threadrippers.

I will buy, eventually. It and Bioshock remaster are on my short list. I just don't have time to play anything these days.

Your answer to being angry about people buying too many graphics cards is to make spending on GPU's illegal. You do know this isn't insulin, right?

Hummm. Well. I'm not really feeling an upgrade for a while. I've been so busy at work - I haven't had time to play anything. I don't believe my machine has been on for other-than-work purposes in several months. There are millions of decent GPU's available, but if you want the Patek Philippe of...

Nice console... Peasant.

Yeah, but it's not like they produced millions of bad airbags. They allegedly materially misrepresented an outlook to investors with the intent of inflating stock price. So, they said they have a new, better airbag on the way in the near term - when in fact they were having manufacturing...

I guess this wouldn't work great for a mobile use - like an RV? I've been considering buying one, gutting it, putting comfy leather furniture and a wet bar in the back - then hire someone to drive me around on a road trip while I get wrecked in my mobile lounge.

I am not conflicted.
