I can't speak for the new AT folks, who all seem decent and I'm very glad they are here. But for the older FPS guys in the crosshairs here - I can absolutely vouch they are not fanboys of anything, other than chasing performance. And they will let you know in no uncertain terms which color...

You aren't wrong. But there is plenty of intersection.

Agree. Will be interesting when those with all the cash realize that a capitalist society runs like a pump - you need the cash to be moving around the economy for the economic engine to run. The goal for an healthy capitalist economy isn’t necessarily the sum in your account, but the flow in and...

"Complimentary" I think this is more nVidia taking advantage of a wounded competitor. "Oh, remember that time when you wouldn't license us x86? We are about to own you. This is just our way of getting around anti-trust."

Work just put out this big policy saying no AI without having each query, file, and/or prompt evaluated by our It department for potential security breaches and NDA compliance I didn’t have to heart to ask if we could still use Google Search. Copilot is enabled in all our MS app suite programs...

Been on deaths doorstep for a long time now, unless you want to call $300+ entry level

“Get hired now to start in 6 months and work brutal hours! The pay will be horrible but we have free Keurig coffee! And there’s more; get laid off in 12 months! Welcome to the Gaming Industry!”

Wonder if it tastes like silicon

Yeah, there isn't much point in the whole Mac vs Windows thing - hardware has become a lot more agnostic. And while both camps have went in different directions, neither has went in a particularly good one. But still there's an awful lot of things that are still Windows only - I get it. I use...

I mean, if this is true: Single-Threaded Benchmark Percentage Breakdown 11% faster than Apple A18 Pro 36% faster than Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 11.8% faster than AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 15.8% faster than Intel Core i9-14900KS Then wasn't the old A18Pro chip ~also~ faster than the 9950X and the...

Haven't banned nail guns or captive bolt guns yet!

Remember when it used to be all about GtG time, and them companies figured out they could goose that by just not going all the way to B&W. Then it was all about brightness. Now it's refresh rate.

Imagine the profits if they had priced this one at $70 /s I’m tempted to buy it just to support reasonable release pricing

Seconded

Yeah, it's available at that location. I just know when they were trying to push it as more reliable, the speed was ... meh, but the price was more than double (commercial internet plans are not cheap to begin with). And they just rubbed me the wrong way trying to push the reliability angle...

oooo it just went on sale again

I mean, there are Masters level courses in this stuff, depending on how in depth you want to get. https://mariadb.com/docs/server/ha-and-performance/optimization-and-tuning/query-optimizations There's also the fact that you can optimize a table distinctly from optimizing a query (which is...

I'm in the same boat with some reporting tools we have for work. One of our jobs has about 20 queries, and they take about 5 minutes each to run. It only gets run once a month though, so I haven't put a lot of time into optimization. The table is very narrow, just 3 fields, but it fairly large.

I'm about to call for an ISP for a new office building we are doing down in town. My options are Comcast, AT&T, and local wireless/microwave outfit that leases Comcast backbone. And I suppose Starlink could be an option, but not really entertaining it at this time for a commercial building with...

Yeah our podunk local telecom has been doing something in the neighborhood all summer long. I’m hoping it’s fiber but I’m not holding my breath.
