It'll definitely happen. After all, the collective hate for the oil barons 100 years ago put them out of business in a jiffy. /s

"Vase mode snap-fit box" sounds to me like "flexible concrete".

All the 22GB 2080 Ti are now $450-600.

24GB GPUs are $700-2500. Please show me the 64GB GPU for $1k.

$20 FPGAs have single event upset modules built in these days. You really think it's that hard to make a 2kB bootloader triple or quadruple redundant?

Bizarre. They don't care that eBay takes 14%?

A buyer can claim they never received it or that the box was empty, thus receiving a full refund.

For something listed at $25k I would not list on eBay at all. eBay corporate will pocket $3400 in fees and will also dock you local taxes on the $25k.

40-80 tok/s is unusable to you? Ok.

If you like having a box with 8-12 fans blasting hot air and noise into your office all day, nobody's stopping you.

The ones sold for $25k from established sellers are legit. Filter by "sold."

The 0-reputation account in Spain selling an M3U 512GB for $4200 is 100% fraud.

Squid are really stupid. What if blind spots make you smarter?

Rust is too mainstream now. Every Zig fanboy clutches to their heart the confidence that they are still a little bit "alt" in some way.

Not a good look to be here fighting in the comments when you could have been writing something that reads like anything other than Claudeslop.

Why not just redirect all requests to your website to the Reddit frontpage?

Thank you. It would have been nice to see you personalize the hook and show your storytelling voice the way you personalized your computer in the story, but we aren't all poets.
