Days ago, I had a Samsung 870 EVO 2TB SATA SSD, do the whole read error and not pass SMART test thing (less than a year old).... I RMA'd... waiting for my "new" one.

Pretty sure, they dream of being so slim (3 slots).

It's still behind the advanced features of the Ford Ka, AI wise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5KgZPNVKAg

Dual core can be "fine". Not everything needs an Epyc CPU. "i7"? Intel's going to call things whatever they want (which I guess is the point).

Not nearly enough X's in Intel or AMD naming. (and no AMD, one X isn't enough on a CPU, and two is not enough on a GPU). What's your new CPU called? The i10-RX-A5060-7470-GTX-Super-RT, just so it's clear. That way you know it's faster than a i10-RX-A5060-7470-GTX-UltraExtremePlatinum.

I also think the idea of complete replacement every 3 years is interesting.... Again, I'll keep a watch.... why not every 2 years? Every year?

Median household income was $57K in 2016 in the USA. Using new Nvidia math (2x the cost), today's median income must be $144K, but alas, no it's only about $78K. I remember when the cost of technology became less over time. I mean, even for "advances". That is, the cost of a top tier...

Just a note, while you might not trip over the ZFS issue, when it happens you could have a real mess. This is mainly a warning for those running "last available" releases of unsupported OS's.

IMHO, this thread has proven that Nvidia could take the price to "infinity" and people here would have a "perfect justification" for buying it. Indeed, what a world we live in. (I think I'll sit back and watch)

You're fortunate, because I can imagine it.

Cheeto used so that fiddling with the expensive lock can be traced to "hands with orange dust". Because..... security.

Imagining adding a dedicated PSU just for the memory. Imagining how long memtest would need to run. But maybe I'm a bit too old and stuck on "256 TB should be enough for anybody".

Actually, it doesn't really have to be working, but the rest of what you said in essence is that protection part of a design. Though, I sometimes wish it were more like what you said.

Also, having a patent, and having something works are two different things. So, this could just be a "foot in the door" thing for now.

Getting the 5090 so I can play Source games at 1080p at ......... WARP 10 !!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opKIiGTy8g4 Because I can tell if the frame rate is only at Warp 9.
