I think the biggest aspect is that there’s so little demand for the configuration that you’re looking for. Most people only need the PCI lanes for graphics cards and storage. There aren’t many other internally installed devices out there th

It's really not. It's time to accept that inflation has happened and that we aren't going back to the past. We can talk all day long about how my mom waited tables for $2/hour and her first car cost $5,000 brand new, it&

I'm just struggling to figure out how many people actually need the PCIe lanes for anything more than GPUs and storage, though. Like, what are you actually connecting your desktop to? The only reason laptops depend on Thunderbolt is be

What you are asking for is a workstation motherboard, which does exist. Filter by the sTR5 socket for AMD Threadripper chips, for example. Unfortunately, as far as finding something cheaper than that, you're looking for a product that

I think I made a mistake there, I meant to recommend the 3060 12GB version. I'm realizing now that the Ti didn't get the 12GB. If you're getting 8GB then I'd say there's not much reason to go back to previous genera

Even worse, this cycle has been repeating since the advent of the automotive suburb: 1. New suburb is built, new residents are attracted by new housing stock and good value. 2. 40 years pass, the built infrastructure has aged to the point o

I completely understand your reaction, and it's a very typical one when I talk about this subject. I hope you're willing to engage in a productive conversation and maybe you'll come away with at least a little new perspective

The author did a horrible job doing laptop research if the goal was to replace a MacBook’s build quality and overall vibe. I have no idea why this random Mediatek chip was the qualifier for finding a system. Just Josh Tech (YouTube) and the

A lot of American waste and spending is due to our incredibly wasteful and short-sighted perception of what urbanism looks like: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2020-8-28-the-growth-pon... I very often think about

Sometimes you just have to accept the current pricing and buy what you need to buy (assuming you need to buy anything at all). 7 years ago it was the same price, but then again, the last 7 years have involved accelerated inflation. So, the

I don't really agree with this. Motherboard prices haven't been moved at all by AI. I would also say that most consumers, who are almost exclusively buying gaming-oriented boards, do not need anything high end. They can pretty muc

That’s only one example of subsidy for one location: tens of millions in one specific type of tax break from one state for only one factory. Now multiply that and add in every other kind of subsidy. Ford Motor Company topping the list at $8

You’re allowed to bring in snacks to Disney parks. Pretty much any food that doesn’t need refrigeration is okay to bring. Water is free. You can absolutely ride rides and spend nothing and consume the lines of paying customers. I imagine if

Change the number how you want, even 0.1% is still millions of dollars. I'm not claiming the real number is 1% and I thought that should have been obvious.

Pennies become dollars pretty quickly. MBAs get criticized a lot for making these "0.1%" type of decisions but they do it because they all add up. 1% here, 0.3% there, add them all together and it becomes significant.

No expectation of privacy does not mean that I don't think privacy laws should protect visitors to that property. It just means that as a wide concept, you are on someone else's property and they're allowed to observe you wit

If it only happens 1% of the time that’s SO much money. 50,000 guests per day, let’s say average person is spending $200 in a day…if 1% of them are doing some kind of entrance fraud you’re looking at $36.5 million dollars per year.

This seems reasonable. They seem to be implementing this technology with hashes [1] and they are deleting the data within 30 days. Some more things to consider: - Walt Disney World has already been using fingerprints to verify access card a

I think the pathetic thing about this is that it’s so much less intuitive than stuff like cloudflare and Anubis. Google, a multi-billion dollar company, is going to make the customers of their corporate clients pull out a phone and do some

I hear this all the time, but I would point out that US car manufacturers are heavily subsidized as well. I’m sure other countries do their own things that effectively subsidize their automotive industries as well. NAFTA and its successor k

I don’t think we’ve seen the lower margins in Apple’s financial reports. Also, their computers have been getting more storage/RAM competitive as time has gone on. Literally just by time passing and prices staying the same. Lenovo is be

But if you read their actual financial reports they have never indicated in any way that their hardware is a loss leader. They disclose this information publicly since they are publicly traded. Yes, the services revenue is higher than Macs

They don’t have the same profit margins but they are the #1 volume PC manufacturer in the world. They also own the Motorola smartphone business. Apple is #4 in PC volume but they certainly make up for it with their smartphone volume. And of

We can see this with the Lenovo Legion 2026 models. They literally perform worse than the 2025 models and cost more. Not only that, the build quality was cut for 2026. I know Apple is escaping it due to their large contracts but I’m honestl
