I was watching Jay's video in disbelief. It's and end of an era for a lot of us. I've run few EVGA cards in my systems. It's time to pivot.

Glad to see other countries are making breakthroughs in chip design and manufacturing. Ultimately this will contribute to more multipolar world where smaller guys can't just be blackmailed into submission because they chose to develop their own independent foreign policy and find themselves slapped with sanctions from the US and the crowd. Breakthroughs are done in payment systems as well which will rival SWIFT, Visa and MasterCard - meaning except from technology perspective, it will also be harder to isolate countries by denying them access to SWIFT. I was hoping for these kind of breakthroughs years ago, I just didn't expect they will be coming so soon.

Slovak, Serbian, Croatian, English. Learning Spanish atm.

100% government mandated actually, however I doubt government will issue such mandates if tech is not ready. Obviously it's not on par with our tech, but it seems it does the job.

I think it's mostly due to them trying to be technologically independent from the West, so focus is more on enterprise workload. I'm in major tech company. Since 2014 we lost some big clients in Russia because they switched to Chinese and Russian brewed tech. I'm convinced is not as effective as our tech but I guess it works for them. They never looked back.

I gotta say it looks pretty darn impressive if those are fully domestic GPUs.

Well, when you look at China's budget, 20 bill is not that much tbh.

To be expected. AMD does not have a magic stick to prevent bots from placing order or to multiply their stock. Everything they said in regards to that is just a PR nonsense.

Now if they'd make 17', that would be pretty cool. I need sth bigger for working on the go.

That 5800x looks neat but I think I'll keep my 1920x for two more years or so.

Did you look at 48' LG OLED that was recently released? https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled48cxpub-oled-4k-tv

OK. Will move my vacation to 10th then. Life goes on. Plenty of stuff to do till then.

From my understanding Optane stays with Intel.

Apple is slowly becoming one of the only companies that makes decently sized high end phones alongside Samsung. I love that 5.5 - 6.1 inch range for screens.

Well, I wouldn't say abandoned. These are just managed infrastructure services which means clients that rent Z as IaaS. Also note that IBM's managed services have more offerings than just Z in their portfolio. On prem IBM Z clients are staying with IBM and there are few new offerings coming to on prem clients that I can't talk about at this moment, but they might be publicly announced soon.

Really? That's a bit odd. I have 1920x with Be quiet dark rock TR and temps are fine. Gets a bit warm on load, but nothing to worry about.

I think I'll pull some favors with my developer friends to make me a robot for the launch.

Crappy IKEA cardboard furniture, now with RGB. Yay.

Didn't AMD state their Big Navi will compete against 3070? What would Nvidia be scared of?

Sounds like American elections.

like 99.9% is profit.

Yep. I keep that as a possibility, however I'm ok with that since even some flagship manufacturers have these practises as well. I know Samsung in the past was notoriously not updating their devices. Not sure if they improved already.

This. It's one of the reasons I'll be getting the Nord. Their software experience is best for me, even better than Pixel.
