Yes. if you get an i5-8500 SFF and put an RX6600 in it you'll effectively have this.

This is basically a 3-4 year old laptop, stuffed in a cube, being sold for 2x what its worth and 3x what it should be sold at subsidized.

Yep. Four year cycle but it's actually trending better than predicted.

AI will pop later this year and all that liquidity is going straight back into bitcoin.

You just described paper money.

Consider the thinkpad X13S with the snapdragon 8cx

Proxmox isn't ideal for hosting a desktop or laptop experience.

You can run an x86 OS under it, but the visual interface to proxmox VM's is VNC, which is laggy and low fps. Not a good fit for todays 120+hz monitors

Modern reactors are meltdown-proof. They will not explode, period.

MacOS has nearly magical levels of memory compression. 8GB physical ram can store 16GB of actual data, and read and write it at fast speeds (50GB/s) due to having an ASIC dedicated to the compression algo in the CPU.

F that. Give me earpods that I can slot 18650's into

What if you do that, but people still get 95 out of 100 questions correct?

Why do you think there is a broad push for TPM (aka Palladium) since windows 11 required it? The Great Lockdown(tm, me) is coming. TPM is the cutoff for hardware, but Intel Management Engine and AMD PSP could make the grade.

Math doesn't teach "thinking". It *disrupts* thinking. The human brain is not meant to process mathematics.

They *did* solve it. The oculus DK1 was the proof. The thesis was that you just needed low input latency, head tracking, and wide stereo vision. I've spent entire workdays in VR and never get an iota of sick.

The neo isn't an exception there. It's targeting the chromebook market, prices ranging from 99 to 399 mostly so sitting at 599 is at the upper end. It offers a slightly premium build but isn't straying too far into excessive BOM cost. A last gen phone SOC, a last-decade amount of RAM/SSD (seriously i have a 12 year old thinkpad with 8gb and 256 ssd), sRGB ips display with no custom panel cuts, etc. The BOM cost for the Neo isn't even 300, but is sold for 600/700.
