V620s were a good deal when you could get them for $350, now they’re $700+ and no longer a good deal.

John Harvard, Prince William III of Orange, Elihu Yale…

Harvard, Princeton, Yale, MIT, and Penn are all free if your family makes less than $200k/yr. A bunch more are free at $150k and $100k cutoffs.

I think you replied to the wrong person.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but $50k is the current average price for a new car in the US.

The M4 Pro Mac Mini caps out at 64GB RAM. Whether or not Apple can sell you that SKU right now is a different question with the ongoing DRAM shortage.

This is incorrect. Apple have said Rosetta 2 support is staying around specifically for games. This has also been confirmed by Codeweavers.

Ray-Ban doesn’t really exist anymore. They’re owned by the same conglomerate that owns all the other glasses brands now. Luxottica.

WoW was one of the first things that was working on Linux with wine. It takes 2 seconds to setup bnet with something like Lutris and only requires the user to follow basic on screen prompts. No terminal, no configuration files.

In fact, I just googled “setup wow on Linux” and the first 10 results were tutorials for installing Lutris and just letting it do it for you. Hell even my mom figured out how to do this on PopOS and she’s not that technical.

To be fair, it doesn’t feel like we’re that far away from camps for undesirables and the Bell Riots.

Nope, 2026.

Have you ever tried to setup a development environment in Windows? Windows fucking sucks for development unless you’re committed to handing over wads of cash for a VS license, and even then it’s really only good if your okay using a bunch of proprietary MS stuff.

Storage and bandwidth definitely weren’t cheap in 2003. Additionally Steam provides features that a brick and mortar store could never even think of providing, including updates, DRM, instant access to global consumers, community features, in-depth data analytics, and the ability to adjust pricing in real time.

While a lot of the work Valve has put in Steam seems both obvious and ubiquitous today, these were features they pioneered for both developers and consumers.

I’d also like to point out that the only digital marketplace I’m aware of that charges less than 30% by default (Epic) is famous for losing billions of dollars in the endeavor.

Before steam, digital sales of games wasn’t really a thing outside of a few niche examples. The 30% cut was the same percentage that retail stores were taking.

Slipknot is not where I saw this thread going but I’m here for it.

Quantum computers are only good at a very narrow subset of tasks. None of those tasks are related to Neural Networks, AGI, or the emulation of neurons.

Apple uses bog standard LPDDR5-6400. LPDDR5 is a low power variant of DDR5. 32GB of DDR5-6400 is about $90 USD.

The only thing special about the Apple RAM configuration is the larger than normal bus on the CPU die.

They didn’t need to grow. Current Wallsteet calculation is margin % + growth % => 40%
