The customer is always right in matters of taste.

I’ve had a couple relatives/friends recognize upgradability was a higher priority a couple years later, but others are still using them or since changed to something less powerful. I think I still have a relative running one of the weird Intel nucs with AMD graphics.

So is that $10M per person or family or family generation? I think the part where things start to spiral is when someone has a few kids who themselves have a few kids each and then add in the spouses. Even at 2 kids per generation and only the first Gen kids have spouses and you’re up to 10 people or $100M.

Why do YOU need it? No clue. But I can see people without technical know-how using these as a little home theater PC. Or really anyone wanting a smaller form factor. I’ve had friends and relatives get nucs because they want something really small form factor and don’t care about the upgradability cause they’d just buy a newer model 4-5 years down the line.

Honestly the OG stream controller would have been perfect if they could find a way to fit a 2nd analog stick on there

Exactly! Just grip the cardboard tube and pull the middle out

Same here. I heard they released a handful of new upper tier pals but I’ll wait for the next major revision to go back

It’s a shame passenger pigeon nets have fallen out of style. I imagine you could catch a lot of ducks with one of those

Fat free systems.

That’s what I thought it looked like, but it’s on a street light, not at an intersection

Lol the app on my phone that replicates the TI layout was only $5

Yep, if it’s anything like the ppc to x86 transition there will be security updates for a year or two before they drop support entirely.

I’m thinking sodimms will be retired by the time ddr6 comes out, and replaced by the camm2 standard everyone is talking about.

Lung fish maybe?

I think the GPU being separately upgradable on the 16" pokes a tiny hole in your argument. But I generally agree, there’s not too much that is saved or retained when upgrading. But for some people it’s worth it, if they’re reusing the ram, SSD, Wi-Fi card in addition to the parts you mention, AND they’re not too rough on the case, screen, and keyboard/trackpad.

Look, I’m all for more trains, but a bear isn’t going to fare any better against a train. Especially if you compare braking distances

Guys we need AI on our blockchain web3.0 iot. Just imagine the synergy

Well the animation does look better than the animated Hobbit movie, maybe I’ll give it a shot

Depends on how much they paid in the 90s. Panels were 10-20x more expensive back then. And it’s a 1kw array so like 40mwh over its 30 year lifespan.

Lmao, the gt710 is the oldest part in my spare parts bin. Too shitty to even give it away. But I can’t bring myself to throw it away since it has a pcie x1 slot so it fits into just about anything

I didn’t downvote but wine turbines are not easily recyclable due to all the fiberglass and resin. They’re finding new uses but lots still get buried in landfills when they’re decommissioned
