If you want disk, as in spinning rust, I think it's going to remain that way for a long time. For some reason cloud providers don't like to offer disk at a reasonable price. I suspect it might be because it's not actually a s

Not just their sensors but also their lenses. Their Zeiss collaborations are some of the best lenses around and their new G-Master lenses are fantastic. Agree that their ergonomics and UI are pretty bad though.

It still doesn't quite make sense to me. The argument you're presenting, as I understand it, is that evolution resulted in milk naturally being made a certain way (with a membrane) and that changing this is might be bad but we d

I don't think this is the case. You're imposing Western values on a Russian offering services in Russia, on a Russian platform. If you haven't used VK before, I strongly suggest you do so. Have a look at the Music and Video s

I dunno, a standard residential US circuit is max 15A at 120V, or 1800W. A GTX980 is 165W and the highest powered Xeon I could find was 165W. A Xeon + 4 GPUs + power supply loss comes to around 1050W and between the motherboard, RAM, SSDs,

SpiderOak's client and support are utterly horrible though. It's an okay alternative to something like DropBox where you have a few, small, frequently changed files but it's useless when you have terabytes of data to backup.
