You'll like the way Apple does their screens even more then. They're 3-5k screens but they essentially scale up their UI 3X so it still looks like a 1080p except 3x sharper. They are what Apple calls "Retina" displays.

You're literally putting the password in plain-text into the (unencrypted) browser bookmarks (and also into your terminal where it's likely logged to your ~/.bash_history). That is the bigger security issue you have, not how

Except for the first image which is a human-made schematic, the rest of the images are filler and serve almost 0 purpose. At the very least they should have been sized down to 30% of their size and have the text flow around it instead of pu

These are not for consumers -- these are datacenter-grade systems. If you want a consumer GPU, you can go for the RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM) or the A6000 Ada (48GB VRAM) if you are building a workstation. If you really need to "experiment&qu
