Does Windows LTSC get the same OS-breaking updates as consumer Windows
Asking for research purposes
Yeah they are pretty good on ebay
even brand new the 11 was cheaper than most phones of similar specs
Probably not because of the release model
They get less frequent but very important updates
Hmm this might be perfect
I dont think those smaller updates would creep in like that, and if those updates do come in later on then they are probably fixed by the time the next release comes out
I'm doing a cybersecurity risk report assessment
I guess its similar to lts kernel
So yeah stability is very important here
Oh yeah actually
Feature updates are not the priority
It's a business user so
So yeah stuff like kb5063878 would not be happening

Years of complaining about windows have finally given me something useful
Microsoft should make a Home LTSC
They'd never do that
Consumer editions aren't the product
Consumers are the product
How was BR?
and that's why I don't like paying for Windows lol
I dont get it
I've given up on windows
What are the options
Windows was shattered ig
Hourly and yearly
Yearly means you get paid a set salary no matter how much you work, hourly means you get paid every hour you work
Windows gets worse every year and linux gets better every year
Or atleast that is what those usually mean with regards to wages and salary
My friend has kb5063878 update and occasionally gets blue screens
I just run a LTSC VM on a remote RDP server if I want to use windows apps
Works really well
But it is still full time, it would be the same at the end of the year
Better than the useless office webapp
Windows 10 > linux
Fite me
naw
Windows 10 IoT LTSC > Windows 10
Usually when someone is salaried for the year, companies slap them with overtime that they don't get paid for and yearly salaried folks are exempt from OT pay
Cloud
Guess how much resources windows uses on my haswell server
Yes
2.5x linux
But if they under schedule you, yearly would be better
no, 3x
But you have no guarantees of that
And they will try to avoid ot for hourly as well
I only have 2 cores allocated
Have you done updates
Really goes to show that it's a skill issue
Over my dead body
Because I had a little over 2 gigs after debloating until I did updates
It's a remote vm I'm not updating this
Now at 4.5
Oh ok
Security updates only
I tried Linux I mean I did get more fps in mc but the work required to get there was annoying
Feature updates can die
lol ok
tru...
Depends on distro
For me it was pretty easy
I couldn't get an old version of forge to work though
So i went fabric instead
And that was really easy
Stock sucks anyways
Maybe I should try to have my old forge server again but make a prism installation
Prism will probably install the right version of zlib
Maybe I used the wrong distro or something but someone will always say “x distro is bad”
Linux users want people to use linux but can’t agree which distro to use
I listened to discord friend
The old zlib was needed for the old forge, but I had zlib-ng and it wouldn't work. I could not figure out how to get the old zlib but prism would probably fix this
They said to use manjaro
Although I do remember seeing zlib-ng getting an update recently so maybe it would work
Ok that is actually a bad recommendation
The manjaro dev team does not know how to maintain a stable OS

ok
Acceptable
Do not go on arch linux reddit 💀
Pika os does great work
I swear these guys talk more about using linux than actually using linux
Can’t use csp on linux so I’ll probably stick with windows for a while
Very easy to use
what about the new Google phone
Even nobara pulls some things from pika for updates
What about it
I'm a purist
Mid phone
Upstream or death
Just an iPhone copy at that point
All I know is that the 9 is better
Debian, Arch, Fedora
The tensor on the 10 is mid
Added mag safe and removed SIM card
No ubuntu because it's debian with canonical spyware
Apparently it is slower than the 9's tensor
The true windows linux experience
Hold up need to unlock my mag safe to reload my phone
See
Wait
Ubuntu itself isn't bad
ima not use a phone anymore
It's canonical
This is a growing trend actually
Like I have a s22 ultra yk
There is a growing trend of people using dumb phones
I have a pixel 6
Why need new phone
or get the s25 or potentially s26
I don't spend stupid amounts of money on a phone because the price difference is as much as a DSLR and a mirrorless camera
My g7 thinq still works just fine and has no cracks
battery is buns on my 22

You can fix that
doesn't last
Wait for the 17 air
Worse battery life worse performance high price, what’s not to love 
overheats alot too
I'd rather spend the price difference on a real camera than a crappy teeny tiny sensor
is it worth it on the s22
doesn't it have like a power-hungry chip
and bad overheating issue s
But what if I want to play 4 ports of AAA games at 23 fps
Are you asking if it is worth replacing a battery over spending 1k 
I cant even use multiwindow on Snapchat without it giving me a warning
Turn on power saving mode
That's a you use case
its on all the time
It caps the cpu to 70%
well
Ive been wanting an iPhone for a while now
and the 17
man that 17
I swear I say the "use case" more than anything here
talking looks wise tho my s22 is mint
Eh not that much actually
I doubt that would happen though
This a hardware product support engineer role
I'd rather get a xiaomi and put a custom rom on it
The hardware doesn't matter for me anymore
I benefit exactly 0% from hardware improvements
I wonder what the 2 message difference is
I think I need apple
I got a single product from them and now I want more
231 now
is this magic
How
ive been a android user my entire life
5090 laptop
for that 32gb of vram
||What do you mean they are the same gpu?||
I can't stand obsession with a brand 
the
Slap a case on it anyways so I never see it
bp?
This is like the argument people in #building-and-recc-chat make to justify an NZXT case with zero airflow and corsair RGB fans
My case is overkill
bp changed my life man
Overkill how?
I don’t even know if it’s good I just got it because it’s blue
bp? Like oil?

At the end of the day they are all tech bricks that you really need to put in a durable case and put on a glass screen protector
no
$240
Bri'ish petroleum
imagine using a PC case
my case be 50 bucks
I technically use >2 pcs on average
Hey at least I didn’t spend $200 more for the stupid touch screen I’ll never use
What
Did you buy a hyte
Maybe
...

Yes
get musetex tw8 it solos all
ima sell my pc
that is a flashbang
what happened to the fan being in the middle of the cpu cooler
Are those usually only for stock coolers
This is not an objective statement
My cpu didn’t come with a stock cooler
I don't like anime so I'm biased
Think you mounted one of the fans on the rear instead of the middle
Why? Are you going to buy a Macbook 
I think that’s what the instructions said to do
I’ll check again
i'm talking about this
Maybe i read it wrong
I think it'd be a more optimal configuration if you move the rear fans to the middle
Because the rear case fan is already pulling air
ima plan a trip for my girls birthday but a macbook sounds nice
yeah thats how its supposed to be
honestly yeah I'd get a macbook
So the rear cpu cooler fan is better in the middle
Imagine the outer fan was pushing air into the cpu
aint it on the picture of it when you buy it 
Macbooks are good
why not get a macbook
banned
Macbooks don't have winslop
they are tho
It's got the unix workflow and have decent software support
get the thermalright prism
Not because it’s better but because of what is happening to my gpu cable
it is better tho
Wait
🗿
its not a 5090 maybe itll be fine
One on the front is supposed to be in the middle and the one in the back is supposed to be in the front
Yeah it won't be as expensive when it goes up in flames
maybe it'll blow up
When it blows up 
Rankism
nah my money's on it blowing up
It never ends
Time to get an aio with a screen 
It is on the list though
It does have uh
First season syndrome
Where nothing ever happens
I am aware
You do still have to pay attention in season 1
That's what makes it different from DS9
Holy flashbang
My list of stuff grows ever larger
I mean it fits the theme
Why stop half way
looks like itll cost the same as the cpu
I did watch Spectacular Spiderman so I scratched something off the list
Just uhh
okay so im getting the 17 pro max
Put a bag of over the screen
It’s not sold here so I have idea what the price is
oh
It being short helps
Firefly?
Spectacular Spiderman
I mean have you watched Firefly
Oh, no it is also on the list
Time to sell my gpu
The list grows ever ever long
Firefly is a short one
Down from the top where it began
Jk this stupid gpu is $2000 in china
It probably will be more if it ever comes here
For a stupid 5080
They'll smuggle it in it's ok
Didn’t they release a new update?
Recently
Another another update to “fix” their cpu killing
For b850 yes but there are still failures
Fix to fix the fix that was supposed to fix the fix (3.20 to 3.25 to 3.30 to 3.40)
Didn't you know that gpus are only ever possibly smuggled with no evidence into which types and where? - Bloomberg probably
another miku gpu that i wont be able to buy 
I mean this gpu looks so good
It’s way too overpriced tho
Importing it would probably be hell anyways
you can always download a gif of miku dancing
Download Bananaman gifs
already have miku mousepad, miku desktop background and a miku keycap and keyboard to match the mousepad. need miku themed pc 😔
Miku themed hydrogen bomb
This position has been open for weeks and now there is another posting on another career site
I applied a long time ago who are they looking for

Nobody, they just want your resume
So they can offer you a lower paid position they actually need to fill in about 1.2 years
young person, 20-24 years of age, who can work hard and has 37 years of experience and a phd
Yeah it seems like they are gonna let them pile up
What if I apply again but on this website

Actually it might take me to the same page the other one did
They are also secretive about the pay
Bob Market
This roofing sales job might save me
Has any of these ever been in combat
But it seems to be fast paced and high stakes, better for someone with actual sales experience
Nope 
lmao that sped up is so funny
At least the scrap iron fleet actually fought
New Zealand was actually so rich at one point
They bought a whole Battlecruiser for the British
They don't even own it they gifted it to Britain
They never put the anti-tank weapons on it, only Brens
Corrugated iron moving machine gun pillbox
The moment they bombed pearl harbour
That was over
If they were just soloing the Royal Navy yeah it's possible
The Royal Navy was overextended between two theatres
The US navy however...
The Bob Semple would've ended the war in 1943 smh
Instead of dropping fat man and little boy
If you dropped a Bob Semple
The bob semple would've obliterate everything from Tokyo to Okinawa
It was too good for the world
Soviets and Germans can yap about the Tiger and T34 all they want
T34 is overrated tbh
The tank itself is crap
It's just that they made a CRAP TON of them
T34 is great in just how easy it is to make
It's just good enough, like the Shermans
That's the biggest strength of the soviet war effort really
The Germans couldn't afford to replenish their numbers in the late war
I mean, it was better than the German tanks at the start of their invasion. The Red Army was just a disaster at the start so they were never used in any way worthwhile and they never got upgraded until near the end of the war with the 34-85
couldn't replenish anything mid war lol
Think the T34s actually get worse when the war dragged on
But that's more due to necessity
They need those tanks YESTERDAY
T34s were great pre and post war, but during the war, if it barely passes a quick visual glance, it's going towards the front
the good ol story with the stalingrad tractor plant for example
you do not need optics if your enemy is within a block away
I wonder that'd work on the plains of Ukraine
Gets sniped by a tiger
At that point it's more like a naval engagement
Where they just lob shells
The Germans had a very tough time dealing with the slopped armor and Kleist and Guderian thought they were the best tanks yet. They had stories of the T34s just doing a wipe of the field before getting blown up by howitzers up close or retreating
and then when they did real tests with t34s in the field, the armor plate itself survives, but the plate kinda breaks off and the whole structure loses effectiveness from a single hit because of the high hardness and bad welding
Yeah the wartime models were plagued with manufacturing issues
Rather than design issues
The Germans on the other hand
They over engineered their tanks
And then they just break down in the field
Czechoslovakia probably carried Germany a bit in the early war
With the czech tanks
Nah, that wasn't in the field, that was from when the USSR gave two battle worn models to the US for testing
Specifically two of the 1941 model
iirc it happened in one of the reports from german testing in the field too
The high hardness steel problem should've impacted all models produced during and before war
Depends on where those tanks were actually deployed

Iirc the US captured one of the 85s during the Korean War that had high quality steel comparable to US steel, so they may have resolved that issue by late war, though they produced them until 46 so maybe it was a post war tank
iirc it was changed post war, could've been late war though
@rancid juniper idk if you plan on doing a benchmark of metal eden or not, but if you do, let me know if you can find a difference between lumen and raytracing in the game 
Never heard of that game but I might try the demo, afaik the difference between RT and lumen is one uses hardware and the other uses software.
Lumen isn't fully accurate as hardware RT but tries to simulate that ig? If anything it's just an unoptimized solution to baked lighting
where i was standing, only difference i could make out was that lumen was just slightly brighter
roughly same performance where i was standing
Yeah and it is really slow
Even slower than rt
Yea
When you leave somewhere dark and go to somewhere bright, it looks like someone is moving a brightness slider
I love lumen so much
If you're getting the same perf then hardware RT should be preferred
I'll check out the game soon (demo) and see the difference with my 7800xt
Compliment or?
oop, game didnt like that
i turned on raytracing and their option for high quality lighting. fatal error crash
No I just love shit lighting so much

Strange, using RT does increase vram so I wonder if that's the culprit. Or maybe that there aren't drivers available for it yet
Gtx 970 jumpscare
going insane trying to find the differences in lighting with these settings
maybe a good way to find the difference is testing both lumen and RT in fortnite
fortnite has rt? 
a bit late on finding that out but yes
whats ur gpu btw?

Was there a windows 11 update that was killing ssds?
Not was
is
Well kinda
It will make the controller stop working
In jay's video he got the drive to reappear by doing a power cycle
Is this a win 11 consumer exclusive issue
Or is LTSC affected
I doubt it because ltsc doesnt get frequent updates like that
Remember that ltsc has that slower update release model
Yeah they dont get feature updates like that
Not just slower
Less bloated updates
LTSC doesn't include a lot of the useless packages tho
did u see the update breaking ssds
I mean
Right
Yeah and you cannot uninstall it either

Debian only uses packages that's been proven to be stable
You can uninstall the security portion but not the feature portion
But the issue is from the feature portion of the update
WHAT
That's BS
Yeah my friend has the update KB5063878 and he gets blue screens occasionally
My brother has it too but his ssd has a controller that is not affected
microsoft said they cant even find the error
Although he hasnt played any games recently so that could just be a coincidence
They said it is also not their fault, when it is

Asrock moment????

the ai did
Microsoft probably can't find the hole either
their attempt at reproducing the error was probably getting an intern to ask chat gpt
They probably fired their actual programmers
We love ai code
Because they were too expensive
probably downsized
And then replaced them with college grads that didn't listen in class
Hence cheaper to hire
They got rid of 9000 people around 4th of july and then filed for ~7000 H1-B
Execute all vibe coders!!!!!!!
Some of those 9000 were game studios working on games for 7 years
To be fair that's bloat tbh
Some big guy at xbox told these people to consult ai for coping
Microsoft is like Disney
Buying up everything
Without a clear goal
And then wonder why they're losing money
And then said I am giving the best advice I can
I am so glad I dont need windows anymore
Corporate executives are the stupidest people on the planet I swear
I use a RDP windows vm
Uses like no resources... On my client machine
It's snappy as hell running on my haswell mini pc so
If it was bloat then they would file for so many of them right after
It's running like it's a native app
Its a cost cutting measure rather than cutting bloat
Or a webapp
the face when u find out the whole start menu is a web app 
I mean a lot of it is actually bloat
no wonder it takes 1s to open
Microsoft went around buying everything
those who actually know what "a.i" stands for:
So now they have a lot of redundancies
Shouldn't have gone around buying every single game studios in the first place
Wouldn't have a problem if they didn't create it
and they make first start up 4k oobe and it needs gpu drivers apparently of just basic microsoft display adapter
i probably didnt explain it well
oobez nuts
the logo that shows up on start up is basically a 4k video 
What
Why
Just have a vector graphic
microsoft moment
If an AM5 motherboard was $90 would you get it?
some youtuber found out its hilarious
What vrms does it have
AM5 motherboard says nothing
VRM?
its only on first startup though apparently
What is the board
It's the one in #tech-deals-discussion but it's sold out
I decreased my pbo offset and increased ram voltage
Now my memory training restore is shorter
There's other mobos in that deal too but not sure how to tell if they are good or not

I'd rather spend the extra $40 on a B650-S
Or the extra $60 on the Eagle AX
You can plop a full X3D in those
$90 isn't bad if you're only ever going to put a Ryzen 5 or 7 in it
But if you want to upgrade
No
There is a Mini-ITX board in that deal btw
Just one
are asrock boards still melting cpus
yes
Oh I see
Damn this is good
https://computers.woot.com/offers/gigabyte-b650i-aorus-ultra-mini-itx-am5-mobo-7?ref=w_cnt_odet_bs_3
zen 4 dies too but it is more rare
i mean it didn’t happen before
It's not... Bad for $90
It is quite literally a game of chance
I saw a post of a dead 7600x with a a620i lightning
It did, it was just rare
2x4 is equivalent to 8 phase right?
There are dead 7800x3ds but not a lot
Kind of, not as stable and makes more heat but it is close
Yeah 9700x
9800x3d will push it though because that turbos to like 150w or so
I'd go for an 8 phase minimum tbh
Even that is... Theoretically fine
Assuming the thermals (airflow) aren't ass
could just get smaller ssd and spend the extra 40 just in case
I think my b650i lightning wifi has 8 legit phases
I have is-55 so that should be good
Hmm

There is a small board that connect to the big board and it lets you have two as a result
Fan on top under those slits
I don't think so
Aw
There is another m.2 on the back
I mean
Also it was like 240+ new
It can also run an X3D without blowing up
Yeah
I wonder how that would go with the AIOs that have cpu block fans that redirect air to the vrms
I saw some for 200 on ebay but this was after my return window closed for the asrock
Because potentially you can have an optimal X3D setup in an ITX system
Or maybe a LP cooler actually
Because doesn't the air blow onto the motherboard as well?
And thus onto the vrms?
Honestly not bad
If it can run an X3D
I mean it's got two whole NVMe slots
That alone is worth it
It has 3 m.2
8+2+1
Oh that's not bad at all
It’s a good board
Most aorus stuff is good
Especially for ITX + good airflow
well not really much space for it

I mean it's fine
If you got air blowing onto the vrms
You're using a LP cooler right?
Oh what is cool about this board is the fact that it has dp and hdmi
Most have just hdmi
So you would be blowing air directly onto the VRM heatsink I think
Yeah its offset towards the ram but it will still be pushing some air there
Yeah that's good
Better than towers pushing barely anything
usb is a little lacking though but it is not the end of the world
Yeah but like
It's usb
You can probably just
Get a hub
Is that a single USB 4 header?
Idk if they make these for USB 4
Is it?
It’s good?
I mean it's all going to be competing for traffic with the other USB devices anyways so
Yeah but it's DDR5
Thats good
ddr6 is looking like it will just be one camm module
server tek fr
probably gonna have stupidly high pricing
Damn it dude
I mean we just phased out ddr4
Do I actually get this board
and they’re already thinking about ddr6
Lowkey thinking about it
yeah it probably gonna sell out quickly
The $90 one did
Yeah but you gotta pay a fee to ship it back I think
Woot handles things kinda differently
I’d buy it too but I don’t have any other components
Always thought about a small travel-sized PC though
Wtf this board can do 7200 mhz ram
Let's see with zen 6
new iod lets gooooo
i wonder what the zen5 threadrippers are capable of
that would give an idea of what a next gen IOD would look like
the zen 5 TRs got an updated IMC... we did not
i've already seen some results
world record
and of course them things suck up ppwer
7ghz cpu would be basedge while intel is seemingly still getting clock regressions lel
nova lake should fix, but still
1000w psu alone ain't enough to power it if you oc it
that's on 360mm aio, and it throttled at about 1300w
zen6?
zen 5
ah
9955WX
chowing down on power like there's no tomorrow
but man is it a workstation beast
That is a pretty good aio
ya
i am
That has 16 cores
i watched a stream once lmao
no
9955wx has 96 cores
tr
you're thinking about r9 9950x
Ah it is 9995wx
Well that power draw makes sense
It is 16 9600Xs

Guys come on let me finance this
i saw this too and thought i was geeking
figured they meant the 64 core but i'm too tired to go find the right model name
i will donate $0.50
64 is threadrupper 9980wx
96 is threadripper pro line
There is threadripper and threadripper pro
yup
threadripper caps out at 64 and pro caps at 96
that explains the very demanding power consumption
Damn I think I should get back into sql
Even though nosql is taking over
sql is still very necessary
This is me in 5 years
Sometimes the bigger the number gets the less meaning it has
Here is how I put it
That is 16 9600Xs overclocked
on one package

yeup
@hoary zodiac bro i think i can sell my asrock for full price
i would be undercutting almost everyone
nvm newegg is the top listing
ok 190
Man I knew it
Now I gotta update again
should make a meme about how they said you should clean the socket 
There is one where he says why would amd do this
which is the better one
Damn I should list my asrock and then order the gigabyte
But I need to see if it will bifurcate when the third nvme is added
LMFAO real
even better slippery drifts
It will fully utilize the 24 usable lanes the cpu has
So I can have 3 drives no problem
why do some people just
go dumb when it rains and they're driving
lmao
or still go as fast as before it didn't rain
Rain is harder to drive in than snow but Iove driving in it. Can't drift in it because my pilot sport tires are hard to predict when they break traction.
i don't blame people hitting the brakes when the car begins to lose control in the wet
but they could've just prevented by simply reducing speed
My sister freaked out when my dad's truck went sideways in the snow but I pressed the gas pedal and counter steered and everything was fine.
it's pretty common for people to panic and hit the brakes instead
instantly sealing their fate
Worst thing you can do behind the wheel is panic
either braking or steering too much
Man I really thought boards would be able to tell if you have a drive using two lanes instead of 4 but it doesnt matter
Because the m.2 slots are wired to use 4 and bifurcation is binary
It will kick in if a drive is installed in the slot regardless
Now I dont understand the point of the 990 evo plus at all
No wonder there are no x2 drives
I'm finally getting fiber optic Internet but I don't know how installing fiber works and if they will install it in my bedroom
they run a fiber optic cable into your place
and connect it to a router or a modem that has a fiber optic input
then yeah, classic internet setup
fiber optic? im too poor for that

actually my house prob isnt even connect to fiber optic
i have firsthand experience using fiber optic internet
in thailand it's everywhere and for cheap
but i moved to a kinda remote area so i don't get that anymore
im making do with 5g lmao
cheap internet?
the data plan im paying for is capped at 30mbps anyway
but it's unlimited
hey if you dont have a data cap thats better than me
I had nutty nat issues when I was using it
us ips suck trash here
i have no nat issue myself
Along with variable speeds
the variable speeds is noticeable tho if i forget to put my phone in a good signal spot lol
America moment then
Even europoors have better internet
You can get fr*nch 8gbps fiber for the same price of our discounted 1.2 gbps
Or the same price as no discount 500 down
Even romanians get better internet
tfw 1gbps here is $30/month
most ppl can't afford that in thailand tho
or doesn't care about the 1 gigabit speed
base package starts with 500 up/down anyway, and they're like almost half the price
500 down is still good though
Our plans are ~41 up no matter what
So rn we have 1.2g and 41 up

Oh and also upload too
8 gig down and up
Depending on where you are it can be the same price or even cheaper than normal internet
A local fiber company offers 600mbps internet at $26 cheaper than Xfinity charges for a 500mbps package. Not including a year discount that makes it $40 less
I got a good deal and it is like half the price I was paying before for slower internet.
Fiber moment
Yeah lmao
I pay for gigabit Internet and this is what I'm getting in the same room as my current ISP router.
Maybe they are throttling me because I cancelled it
about the same
Why is the vram usage so different
I am not sure but for some reason intel was using more memory

Hmm
odd
Yeah not a big difference
intel is using both more vram and ram
but why
and the gpu is using more power
but that prob is just variance
run-to-run variance
Garbage tier printer, ejects previous pages instead of laying the new one on top
Canon more like Cannon
I have like a 5 year old epson that still works very well
I had to run the self cleaning multiple times in a row but that is our fault
Didnt use it enough
i hate how home appliances require internet connection now
i WILL use dumb tech and i WILL like it
wdym i HAVE to connect to the cloud to wash my dishes?
why do i HAVE to use an app to turn on my lights?
why do i HAVE to use an app for my printer?
😭
im ok with apps if it's a local solution
that won't scam you after the company goes kaput
error please wait for software update before driving your car
or decides your lights are too old
I dont like it because the company can stop you from turning down the temp like how they did in colorado
Need app to control rgb light bulb

bulbs are such shit quality :/
subscribe to unlock your car's full power rating
flickers and goes dim after a small service life
or pay for the option (it's an ev that declared the full power to the regulation bodies yet they charge to get the power the car manufacturer claimed)
subscribe to use adaptive cruise control
That happened because the people using the utility signed an agreement to allow the utility to override and manually control smart thermostats in certain situations in return for a discount on their energy bill
Ah the dystopian give us control and you get some kind of payment
The klaus schwab agreement
Yes we want the private utility company to control our thermostats during times of extreme heat, nothing bad will ever happen
Damn, that’s cool
Anyways
They give us a $50 rebate so it must be great 
Our energy utility doesn't do stuff like that. Or anything to help reduce bills besides a cost averaging plan you have a very small window to sign up for
Also the price of energy went up 8% since last year 
Thank you datacenters
They buy the energy at discount rates from the TVA and resell it to us at higher prices and say they are good because cooperative
My stocks are gonna tank when the ai bubble pops
Maybe it wont pop, maybe just lose some pressure
sell now and then buy stock in stuff that actually creates a functional economy next time 
stay in the trash can
Meanwhile there is literally no way to become a member of the cooperative, no list of members of the cooperative, offer no benefits for being associated with the cooperative and charge high rates for the area
is it a good board?
for some reason i want to buy it but dont want to buy it
Mmm. Woot has M310s on sale for the proper $20 price. Much good, very wow. Now slap $7 shipping on it and get rid of most of the discount
@upper rain look how high it will boost under light loads holy shit
oh no vram hopping between 90 and 92c

Datacenters don't use much at all compared to AC
Does Youtube still do its crappy rewinds?
