Nope. The extra E was for "efficiency", because they were better binned than the normal Gs. Think of how much more efficient 5950Xs were than 5900Xs, despite more cores. So the Ryzen PRO line is a "PRO" desktop CPU. S

Indeed, banks have a lot less money up front and on-site now. A lot of this is how much is done electronically nowadays compared to decades ago, but a lot of this was change in protocol after big hits in the 1990s became too commonplace. T

If you're willing to look at 1L form factors (think Mac Mini), you do have options there. Intel has vPRO and AMD has AMD DASH for remote power on. A Mac Mini won't have remote power on, but if you're willing to just keep it

There's cheaper still. I'm still in contact with someone who lives in the west slope of Colorado. Lives in a small city of ~20,000, and splits a 2BR with a friend. His share of the rent and utilities is under $350/mo. I th

This is just the new green line extension, which for a brand new multi-billion dollar line extension, is bad enough. Take the Red Line? You might be seeing 56-88 minutes of delays (compared to years ago) compared to years prior, per data

Value of iron and coal for Australian exports in 2021 was even higher than in 2019. Iron at $118B, coal at $54.3B, or $172.3B/343B (50.2%). That’s definitely going to hurt.
