New GPUs are quite a bit better than previous ones but perf oer dollar has been flat for a while now.

Also, if you're talking gaming GPUs old ones work fine given there has not been a new PlayStation or Xbox in many years. Min spec for many games is 5 years old tech

Fewer outages vs US source? I work in the power industry in the US and I am sure this is regionally true but highly doubt it as a blanket statement.

I am so happy I am not this jaded after over 20 years in software. I have never felt like I have hit a ceiling in terms of salary or skill. I still learn each and every day. I would get bored if this were not the case. Would I recommend it to everyone? Hell no but I wouldn't choose anything else.

Do you have some benchmark results I can look at that compares results?

Only 60% of us own any stock at all and often through 401k or other indirect investment.

"3rd party" browsers on iOS are just safari/webkit. They do not allow browsers that don't use safari/webkit.

> Kids are another huge factor that changes this.

Yep, I have have quit a perfectly good job to bum around Southeast Asia. Now that kids are in the picture being unemployed would be very stressful.

It isn't like US public system, medicare, is great. I still end up buying my folks supplemental. This narrative of pubic vs private misses most of the nuance.

If you don't mind me asking, to where? That is, what uplink do you see to your nearest AWS or gcloud? In the US, advertised residential speeds don't nessarly translate to realized gains. Just pushes the bottle neck to the ISP.

Agreed that either way it is way cheaper than cloud bandwidth.

I have used some of those systems, namely frontier (AMD). In the case of frontier, it is the US gov hedge their bets. The super computer before was Nvidia and the next is intel. Bunch of politics there which don't translate to business but make a ton of sense for a government.

Haha, I think that hope is officially dead. Although, Nvidia hardly cares about graphics right now so AMD might release a good gaming card even if it isn't "the best". Rising prices on the "best" will mean gamers never have them anyway.

I think a lot of people would consider alternatives if there were some. Sourcing AMD hardware is a PITA, even just renting for validation. On the consumer side, AMD announced they are done with top end GPUs for the time being.

I agree with you on marketing but Nvidia's relationships with the big cloud providers and big companies is more important. It locks AMD out.

Yea, I call BS on 100Gb uplink for $1000. I have racked a lot of servers at different data centers. No way.

I just put Windows 11 on its own little VLAN/WiFi island called "RebootRift." It lives alone, endlessly restarting, hoping one day it will be trustworthy enough to join the others—but deep down, it knows it never will.

IMO they are still not as good although they have improved. I just develop in chrome and use Firefox for everything else.

> Lemmy is missing niche communities

I would say the exception to this is communities reddit frowns upon. For example, piracy related.

Lemmy is one such alternative. I follow a few instances.

I have done that exact configuration for several of my clients who didn't realize any/much revenue in the EU. For them it was the obvious best move but I wish there was a better option.
