Thank you!

I don’t mind moving to hardware.watch.

Are there multiple admins who manage hardware.watch or just one? Don’t want another lemm.ee situation. :)

I am assuming I would need to create a local account (alt), right?

Now this is my type of laptop. 18" inches, top of the range performance (with no compromise for battery life and weight).

The $6K+ price seems very high considering the nature of such a device.

You’d be better off buying a Raspberry Pi (or another SBC) and using it both as a DIY server and backup computer.

It’s like with resolution. I believe anything above 8K is imperceivable in a typical desktop monitor usage setup (i.e. you are not sitting 2+ meters away from your monitor).

I did have it before, but I would probably have gotten a 24" if I didn’t, because I like the second monitor to have a 16:10 aspect ratio. My primary is 32" 1440 (16:9).

If it was easy to get a 2560x1600 resolution monitor, I would gotten a 32" monitor.

I have a 24" device as a second monitor.

Probably a few 10s of thousands around the globe per year (per OEM model series)?

400/150 Mbps - $55/month

I pay the equivalent of $10 USD per month (we don’t do list prices, it’s the actual price) for 1 Gbit fibre.

And I am willing to bet that the “five-year price lock” advertising is fraud. There has to be a clause in their TOS that as per the company “price lock” means the ability to change prices.

Imagine if this somebow massively accelerated the development of viable fusion power.

Not really, no.

Not to mention there is now an inherent liability involved with using American products and services.

I mostly follow big accounts and don’t that much with folks (outside of a niche hobby account that I am trying to slowly grow).

Best option seems to be to subscribe/browse hashtags that pique your interest. Eventually you’ll find people who regularly post/boost interesting content and users.

I like to distinguish between ideological, Friedmanite capitalism, which I call big C Capitalism and broader concepts such as trade, competition, new commercial ideas, which I call small c capitalism.

Big C Capitalism is more of an oligarch-promoted, authoritarian ideology with clear fascistsa tendencies (see Friedman’s statement that “free markets” take precedent over democratic governance).

Small c capitalism is more a quality of human civilization and its implementation reflects social and cultural developments.

That is why American-run commercial social networks are inherently not viable if you care about user focus. Any rational adult (of any nationality, from US to Botswana) can make their own conclusions regarding US-run commercial social networks over the past ~20 years.

I deleted Twitter a while ago and switched to Mastodon, I did not move to Bluesky when it started getting big exactly because I knew their initial user-focus was a ruse (and their federation architecture seemed top heavy).

No, current suggests they are already working on the next generation of dGPUs (Celestial) and their Battlemage SKUs were largely reviewed positively.

I really wish (hope?) this isn’t the case.

I thought Samsung’s big focus was on their 2nm node as they decided to give up on the 3nm release and treat it as learning experience?

Sam Altman will come after you if you store regular old data on these SSDs.

I want to try the original Deus Ex with the updated textures, models and RTX Remix!

Although it seems that there is no easy way to run RTX Remix on the OG Deus Ex.
