⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
In a sane world, the limitations of a CPU socket would be reached, and then newer SKUs would no longer be release and all stock for prospective builders would be second hand.

That’s clearly not the case here. AM4 continues to get new CPUs releases and parts are still available new from retail, years after the support officially ending. That’s a good thing for variety and entry level machines, but such dependency means a future CPU could be limited in featureset/performance if it releases on AM4 instead of AM5, which there may be enough demand to force designers to downgrade chips for AM4 compatibility.

5800x3d was probably my best cpu purchase of all time, damn

Some people have muscle memory, like this user, so it makes sense that they could use the plugin’s help.

There is literally a “photoshop UI” plugin for GIMP, did you try it?

AM4 is gonna last until the 2030s at this rate…

Speak for your self - scored a nice GPU upgrade during the crypto crash, maybe something similar will be achievable after this insanity hits the brakes.

The market will - and it’d be foolish to underestimate the market forces valve will spark by making viable alternatives mass market.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Used market prices, probably. An 8GB VRAM video card and an appropriate CPU that wouldn’t bottleneck performance could easily fit under $500. I guess nowadays the RAM would be the hangup lol.

The extended support program is the one-year extension for the consumer versions (Home and Pro). Win10 IOT LTSC is contractually obligated to be supported until 2032 - and conveniently has all the garbage included in the consumer versions removed.

There still are a high amount of 4090s, modified 4080s, and 5090s in AI deployment (especially for their cost compared to the specialized stuff). It probably won’t be the vast majority of cards, but it’ll be nice to see in the used market.

I live in silicon valley, once that bubble bursts I’m going straight to craigslist and ebay lol

Massgrave + Win10 IOT LTSC enterprise would be a better play

I’ll just be happy when gamers are able to get used GPUs at prices similar to “crypto crash” era or maybe even cheaper. That’s one of the reasons I’m rooting for this bubble to pop.

I’m 100% an outsider on the topic, so I’d definitely defer to the wikipedia article. Feel free to let me know if there’s any holes I should patch in the post though.

My father is a history teacher - and he inspired me to always keep learning about every part of the world that I can (and also about unique hobbies and technical fields, since I aspire to be an engineer).

I have to thank him again for all the amazing books he shared with me (and techniques for analyzing sources on the internet).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Had to look this up⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Definitely.

To say the UK and Ireland have had explosive interactions in the past would be a bit of an understatement. There were spates of car bombings, shootings, and other forms of violence all along the border of Northern Ireland (Due to both sides believing Northern Island should be part of their nation).

Rowling probably takes a more pro-UK stance, and therefore is comparing the Irish people to the IRA (Irish Republican Army) bombers.

The conflict(s) were part of a period known as The Troubles (Wiki page linked)

Disclaimer - I’m an American outsider with an interest in learning about history, so I may not have the most accurate summary of events from either side of the story. The Wikipedia article should summarize incidents much better.

We have I believe the second or the highest minimum wage in the nation. Although our housing/utilities market is the most fucked up.

Depends on your area (because of the housing market and local cost of living), but in my area in California, if you are not making $150,000 or more annually expect to be in a lot of debt and never owning a home.

Adnauseum covers the situation of how and why their solution at length in this research paper linked on their website if you’d like to get the meat and potatoes.

But to be brief, from my knowledge of how the software handles webpages (at least from my limited background as an Electrical Engineering student), the sandbox is only utilized to load enough resources to register the click to the advertising service by the website - you aren’t sent to the redirected site/content, and apart from the image of the ad being able to be seen from the vault, no external content is loaded. This is a safe way of handling things, especially since the sandbox is not granted access to the full privileges provided to you, the user.
