I've just measured it with wattmeter. Xeon E5-2697v2, 64GB ram, SSD + 2x HDD, GTX1080. Excluding monitor, that might add another 15W according to its "energy usage bar" which sits at about 25%. 110W "idle" with fire

It's not "that much heat", it's that good insulation. Also, I don't really need or want AC, I love hot weather.

Also, have you seen high-end laptop prices? Dell XPS is easily 3k+$.

Just that 128GB DDR4 is more than 550usd in my country. GPU with 2GB of VRAM is not much today, my 4k desktop consumes 1.6G vram and i'm not even running any game.

Thanks a lot! I hoped i'd be able to boot from PCIe, but boot partition on a SATA drive is quite ok too.

20(euro)cents used to be average price in my country. I actually have much lower price (about one third of that) because I don't have other energy source. It does not really matter where that price came from, as it can nicely serve as

OK, let's calculate! Old PC amortized to 130W constantnly, 24/7, @ 20c per kWh = 0.624$ per day, that is 227.76 per year. New workstation today is like ~4000$. So that means you'd have to run it more than 17 years at that pri

What motherboard, please? Can you also boot from NVMe? I was looking into this, have Asus P9X79 PRO.

It already is! I've swapped old i7-3820 @ 4.3GHz for E5-2697v2 few months ago. Bought another 32Gigs of RAM, and now I already have PCIe 3 (long overdue). I've also tried to overclock it via BCLK (100-110MHz) and gained ~300MHz. I

Well, not feasible at all, our customs officers are very well known to hold your mail for random time which can be easily 6 months or more.

Just looked at prices in Germany... 3090ti is still more than 2k euros, same for Czech Republic (seen one for about 2700 eur few days ago), or Slovakia, very similar in France. So, no - I don't really see prices getting normal. Where a

No, MCUs needs a lot better things. I find this only as a curiosity. A nice excercise, nothing more.

Because of electrons, they are moving charge wich does interact with magnetic field. At this strong levels, it's quickly detrimental for molecules.

Strongest magnetars would rip apart all molecules even 150gigameters away.

If a service uses any amount of animation, then i'm instantly searching for an alternative. Excessive animation like this and i'm lost customer right away. > Here, it's three or four times a day? Hell no. I'm not 6.

In my humble opinion, the future of compute is going back from this enormous overengineering.

Incredibly stupid decision. Anyway, only EV i'm willing to use is the one disconnected from internet.

Yes, the fees are way too excessive. Most of them also disappear no one knows where.

Car owners are already way too over-charged with various taxes. At least here, in our country.

Please, don't force me (or anyone) to use flatpak. My system package manager is very competent.

I'd rather see my tax poured into new much larger collider than into politicians pockets, olypmic stadiums or agriculture subsidies...
