I couldn't care less. I rarely sell my old hardware.

This right here. I'd prefer one with a pre-installed block. And my 2080Ti is getting a little long in the tooth.

Maybe they'll put 3D cache on both CCD's. Then it doesn't matter which one is parked. Or neither need to be parked.

I agree. Problem is even if they figured it out today we'd still be 30-40 years away from ever seeing an operational plant in the U.S. There is so much red tape that it would take 10 years just to clear the regulatory hurdles. Then you'd have every environmental nutjob in the country trying to...

SMR's are coming. There's no other option for large scale, rapid deployment of energy infrastructure. Plus it distributes the load across the grid instead of being centralized as with a large plant. That's what my wife does, btw. Nuclear development. It's a shame the U.S. is 20+ years behind...

There is literally zero way to be 100% uptime. Even with a full blown mirror image failover site you are beholden to the #1 killer of 100% uptime. DNS. And even then, in the event of a failover the transition is not instant. We had that setup. And it's expensive just to maintain. But, again, DNS...

You'll pay a LOT for 99.999% uptime. That requires basically mirrored hardware, which very few do. Typical is maintaining N+1. And it still needs to be brought offline from time to time for maintenance/updates.

It's bonkers expensive for the cloud host as well. Which is why we charge a lot for the services. It's not a "once and done" purchase of the equipment. We get, maybe, 3-4 years out of millions of dollars worth of equipment before we have to replace it due to a 5 year EOL cycle. Then we have to...

That's doable, if your needs never change.

Everything is monetized because everything has a cost. Hardware, software, licensing, rack space, bandwidth, power, man hours. We charge for everything because we have to. Otherwise hosting is not profitable or sustainable.

It's a simulator, not a game. And it's gotten REALLY good at being a simulator.

99% of people would never know the difference between a gen 3 and gen 5 drive in their PC.

I use a controller all the time to play emulator games. I've been using one of those 8Bitdoo hall effect controllers off Amazon. LTT just did a video on them. Seriously, if you like controllers for your PC get one of those. Best dang controller I've ever used. And they're only $50.

And it's not upgradeable. You're stuck with what they give you, for a year or two, until they release the next version. And pray they make the new games work on the older console. Or you spend $1500 and get a decent gaming PC that'll last years.

It's not an amazing thing. Sony loses huges amount of money on selling hardware. The console has never been a profit driver for Sony, M$ or Nintendo. They make their money in software, accessory and subscription sales.

I say that to people all the time. It's not "AI". It's software, working with hardware, to perform a task.

There's a Portal joke in here somewhere.... 45% more watt per watt

I still think the 5800X3D is over priced. Especially today. Cheapest I've seen it is $299, but lately that's gone back up to $360. That's just too much.

The percent. It's like adding 11 to the volume knob.
