They already exist. $dayjob bought some 64GB ssds. They were about $7500USD per drive.

Hippos are herbivores. They only kill tourists for fun.

While not hard drives, at $dayjob we bought a new server out with 16 x 64TB nvme drives. We don't even need the speed of nvme for this machines roll. It was the density that was most appealing.

It feels crazy having a petabytes of storage (albeit with some lost to raid redundancy). Is this what it was like working in tech up till the mid 00s with significant jumps just turning up?

I experienced this a few times as a foreigner in Philly. Getting denied entry to a beer garden because I didn't have my passport (I'm mid 30s so clearly not under their alcohol age), or my colleague being randomly carded at a baseball game to buy a beer, none of us got carded and he did and his only id was his EU drivers licence, and he was mid 40s. It's so bizarre.

Hi, someone on the other end of the spectrum here.

The most exciting time in gaming in the past 10 years for me was when AMD announced the RX480. They were excited about a $200USD GPU, targeting 1080p gaming.

I ended up buying an RX570 a some time later on a sale. Great card!

Years later I started looking around for an upgrade. Each time I looked it was as if mid range had ceased to exist at a reasonable price point. For examplw last year in my region the RTX 3050 was 3x the price I paid for my RX570, and wasn't that much cheaper than an Xbox series S.

I think it's great you love your 7800XTX, and I hope they continue to make good high end cards. But I also hope they remember my area of the market exists, and after 8 years of engineering improvements since the RX480 I want them to release a pair of cards targeting 1080p and 1440p gaming at a killer price.

And its logo is a robot, so it isn't unreasonable to think it's go-dot

So I bought a new mouse, of course it came with RGB nonsense. Before purchasing I checked it could be disabled.

Software to control RGB? 300MB. Who knows what the hell else that'll be doing.

Plugged it into my Linux laptop, download OpenRGB, 1.7MB application that supports more than just this brand. Turn off the rgb, click save to device.

Even Nintendo has gyros in their controllers

Nintendo have had gyros in their controllers since 2006 with the release of the Wii. Basically right there with Sony (Nov 11th vs Nov 19th 2006)

I'm an atools kinda person

If the cause of this is because of Cyberpunk then that's ridiculous. It'd be like Steam deleting cloud saves because someone's Half Life save file got too big... It's their own game, marketplace and ecosystem.

Blast from the past! I had this on cdrom. As a child I remember our old computer that had Sim City 2000 on didn't have a cdrom drive. Our new computer did. I fondly remember copying my favourite cities from the old to new via floppy disk. Those were the days!

That's super interesting. Do you have a source you could link for this data?
