FWIW, KISS. I built an elaborate WC setup. It was fun, looks neat, and expensive. Super-quiet and cool running. That said, as the years have gone by the WC cost of time/maintenance has been a downside. Even AIO will need some care and have a higher potential cost of failure than air cooled. Fans are easily replaceable vs having to remove and replace a pump or cooling block, or deal with a leak. Most new fans are super-quiet (as long as you don’t have one of those absurd cases with 10 fans in it) so you can enjoy gaming with a cool-running setup and no sound of a server farm running by your desk.

Slopya Nadella.

Eastern Europe is generally racist. Ukraine included.

Congrats. A human spider.

Cannot stand reaction videos. We’re on the same page.

Rules for thee but not for me.

Nah. This backtracking is bullshit. She knew exactly who he was. She just fell off his coattails for whatever reason and now she’s playing the victim, even if it’s being a willfully ignorant victim.

I’ve been hearing about re-growing teeth for 20 years. Still nothing. It’s right up there with nuclear fusion.

Tesla whined about it citing all the crap they’d have to work around in their design in order to make a normal mechanical linkage. Funny how no other upper tier manufacturer has trouble with all the power windows and window power pre-offsetting for interference fits. They manage to have mechanical linkages.

Late to the party? A little slow? Where have you been, author?

Yeah. A vehicle known for trapping occupants when damaged, then burning them alive. Are you sure that’s the kind of vehicle you want to be in when it gets shot at?

They’re idiots. They’ll be kings of a shithole if things implode and they actually need a bunker. Yay, you lived! Now enjoy a horrible land.

Create artificial scarcity to drive up prices thanks to foolish venture capitalists dumping money into GPU- and RAM-hungry AI vaporware. Free money.

Consumers get hosed due to high prices, major investors make bank on overinflated stock value, eventual crash, everyday consumers and investors get hosed, companies get bailouts while employees get laid off.

Those are bunkers. All the techbro billionaires are into bunkers.

To do the math;

$75 x 25 years at (a conservative) 5% = ~$253

@7% it’s over $400.

Probably not worth your time to wait 25 years for that.

However,

$10/mo at 7% is much more interesting: $8,200

And $10/week: $34,500

Over 25 years this isn’t huge, but it’s *something.”

I used a very conservative % because past gains do not guarantee future performance, and one should not put all their eggs on one basket…But VOO over 30 years averaged 10%, so $10/week with $75 start @ 10% for 25 years is just under $55,000. Double it to $20/wk and you’ve got $108,000.

IDK what’s in store for the world, but for now, people should invest early and regularly. If it all goes to shit even money under the mattress won’t help, so go for the % IMO.

I’m more concerned with PCI slots blocked by massive GPUs, especially on smaller form factor boards. You’ll need PCI/e extension cables to install an additional card.

The Turing Test has shown its weakness.

Stockholm syndrome isn’t even really Stockholm syndrome.

It could also be as simple as bring strains to the US and claiming some research win via their use. “Look what I discovered!”
