The cloud provides incredible flexibility, scale, and reliability. It is expensive to have 3+ data centers with a datacenter staff. If the data center was such a great deal for the many 9s of reliability provided by the cloud, company’s would be shifting back in mass at this point
Haha it’s ridiculous and they are basically using the Apple model where they charge obscene amounts for just more memory. It will only last while they have their AI moat. That moat is under a multi-pronged attack and will eventually lose one way or another
Eh just get into the used pc parts market and upgrade to the 5090 when it is made obsolete by the 7090
The same boomers in power of the US are the same boomers that shipped American manufacturing to China… That will never return. They’re critiquing themselves right?
Also, American car companies barely manufacture any cars in the USA.
They cleaned every subpage off the site
Hey it’s just like EVs or any other new technologies. The enthusiasts or believers will dive in first and deal with all the complicated setups. If it is actually better, these enthusiasts will form a company or already be a company who will create a product that will dominate the industry because they have a better product. Valve is definitely setup to be that company with the funds and competitive reasons to compete with Microsoft (windows/xbox store vs steam store). Steam store is their money maker but they face risks from Microsoft. Luckily Microsoft has to be careful due to antitrust issues because of their size, ie, Apple Store.
Be a cheerleader, encourage these people to take the dive. If you’re hating on people who want their stuff to just work you’ll never grow to get the casual pc / gamer user. Change is hard, most people are not looking to tinker.
Infrastructure is just behind the curve in various parts of the world. I don’t own a house with a garage so I have no good way of charging at night. I have a dedicated parking spot as my neighbors do but who knows what it would cost to get power and an outdoor charger installed
The price for an EV in the US is absurd(the price of autos in general is absurd). Tesla is 100% not making a cheap EV to maintain their profit margins to keep stock price high. Go look at the average gross profit margin of an auto maker, Tesla is 2-3x that.
Uh I think you need to visit Egypt, it’s as clear as day stones are pretty damn permanent over long periods of time… far better than most materials.
