The H2 is also tiny and the price is not per-chip but per wafer - so the price increase should be marginal per chip.

Not sure if you ever worked in support, but the vast majority of cases it is users not understanding your product, not reading docs etc. Rarely it is actual bugs.

Is that the identity server for dotnet that has been converted into a commercial product and costs a huge pile of money to use (lite starts at almost 6000$ per year): https://duendesoftware.com/pricing

My pet peeve is the standard OpenID connect implementation of OAuth for SPAs - which will probably use the PKCE code flow. It is probably for historic reasons and old browser compat, but exposing access token and revocation token to javascr

UG is almost always a bad idea. Just go with the GmbH from the start. UGs need to convert to GmbHs over time anyway, it is just added bureaucracy. Your tax accountant alone will cost 3.500-5.000€ in the first year, so you need the money any

The tax office WILL 100% decide you have to pay corporate taxes in Germany - and it does not need to decide that in the first place, you will have to report it proactively on your own to the tax office and file for taxes.

This. Is founded (and liquidated) my GmbH with only 12.500€ deposited to the business bank account. Note this is not a cost, it just moves to the corporate account and can be used to pay expenses (notary, lawyers, hardware etc.). The remain

How much do you pay per month? Never expect a real human tech expert if you only pay 10$/month for something. A human talking to you for 15minutes destroys their entire profit margin on your payments for years. Unless you hit a bug or

For how long? What guarantee do you have that price will be the same in 2 years? Especially since Sony just changed the pricing.

I'm in spain using DIGI (a romanian telco) - their geolocation puts me into romania and offer a 40% discount. Anyway, still not going to pay 75€+ for a font.

And it is the first time in history where storage and RAM cost double or triple what it cost 6 months ago. So unknown if Sony makes a profit from todays sales.

> Only for the first few month Yes, but we are in the unique situation that we saw actually increasing prices for RAM and storage over time due to AI craze. You (or me) have no idea what Sony's markup on consoles is right now.

Well, and you pay 120$/year for the privilege to play games online on that PS5. That is one of the reasons SONY can subsidize the PS5 unit price and sell under cost. Valve is not in that position, because people would buy it as office

Where do you live and how much do you pay for that Internet uplink that is > 1GbE?

Interested in hear the justification why you would need more than 1GbE in a machine built specificly for gaming.

If you want a steam controller included. You can use also PS4/PS5 or Xbox controllers easily on linux (and thus steamOS) nowadays. I use a Ps5 controller on my setup, even though I never had a ps4 or ps5.

I remember around 2002 running my home router without any hdd on fli4l - a single floppy linux router distribution. I slept in the same room as the router was, hence I wanted a solution without a noisy hdd from that era.

In case you don't want to bother your spouse (or don't have one) you can use lockmeout.online as a simple online time lock service to hold numeric codes.

That is not automatically given in any system and depends on the system. Authentication, however, is a minimum required feature in most system that would introduce latency. Just imagine sending each and every http request from a user half w

The story changes if you have a distributed database. replicating a smaller revocation list (that is append only) that will never be more than a couple of MB, is easier to do accross distributed nodes around the world than keeping a large

This. I store my JWT in a cookie, and the cookie is of course set to HttpOnly,Secure and SameSite=strict. That basically kills XSS. I do not use openid connect, and one of my pet peeves with OIDC is that the access/refresh tokens are a

But the revokation list is always going to be orders of magnitude smaller than the list of active sessions.

What if you have two servers, one in japan and one in central europe? Where do the sessions live? With JWTs, you would only need to replicate your revocation list of the last X hours (X being your JWT default lifetime) and probably be in th

I agree. The storage space, however, is a different story. Your session DB can grow huge, depending on your session lifetime and your users logout behaviour. Plus, it is a concern in a distributed system (i.e. a token can be validated on ev

Depends on the system. If you use JWTs for authentication only, they still serve a purpose. Sessions also only serve as authentication, not authorization. Authorization is independent of the both systems, and it depends how you implement th
