EUV is hard, but isn't part of the reason why only ASML can make those machines because of the CRADA they have with DOE as a member of the EUV LLC?

I agree. I'm not even sure I understand defending AWS here from a purely capitalist perspective. When a large company gives thanks to a open source developer they are encouraging that developer to continue contributing.

I worked at a financial institution during a migration from one core system to another. I was their "Administrator of Legacy Systems." At the time I thought that the "legacy" was the data we kept in the system - all of the transaction records, account information, etc. At the time I didn't consider it a pejorative, but seeing how the term draws derision these days I'm not really so sure!
This seems to confirm what I'd read earlier, which is that they're cutting the TBW durability rating in half for this generation. I don't have PCIE 4 at this point, so I'm considering sticking with a 970 for an upcoming upgrade.
