"This is one yard management system away from being fully autonomous"

You:

"But they're not using those yet, unlike those ports and such!"

Yes. We agree. But they will once they crack the union side of the problem.

"I bought slot A athlon, it was great, way better than P3"

"That makes you an intel fanboy!"

Your emotional state has reduced your IQ to this level. Think of your brain cells. They don't want to live in this enslaved state.

I'll do better. Searcg fir large shipping ports in PRC and how they work. Those are almost infinitely more complex in terms of logistics than just mere truck hubs.

And they're rapidly approaching near total automation at this point.

Americans wouldn't know about this because you have longshoremen union that keeps your ports utterly archaic.

This is one yard management system away from being fully autonomous. It's already done in parts of Europe and China.

I'll just remind you that corporate loyalty as a customer is one of the dumbest, most self-damaging things you can perform.

Son, you can find this shit on AMD brochure at the time. They went all in to advertise that "new way to do multithreading". They really through it would catch on, just like inter thought P4's idea of "just fucking single thread maximum megahurtz" would work.

Both companies had to reset and go back to basics after those stupid misadventures where they tried to reinvent their CPUs. And both succeeded.

And I have zero company loyalty. I've owned CPUs from both AMD and intel. I've owned GPUs from ATI/AMD and Nvidia. I literally do not give a fuck about which company is the one that makes the best thing. I just want to know which thing is best so I don't buy a P4, or a Bulldozer, or a geforce FX and end up with a shitty product.

Hell, I owned a slot A Athlon of all things. It was great, kicked the shit out of P3.

My mind works in concepts. I.e. I'm one of the people who doesn't visualize "an image of an apple" but a "concept of apple".

That makes my memory also work mostly among the lines of concepts. I couldn't tell you any of the addresses. But I can tell you the concept of design of the network.

Sales were suppressed in Athlon-P4 era, not Bulldozer. That was intel's "let's do architecture from ground up" and they made a retarded single thread focused thing that required that narrow bus super fast super expensive RAM. That was so awful that they had to force resellers to limit AMD's Athlon sales or lose access to intel's preferential pricing. Iirc Intel got convicted for this.

Bulldozer was the AMD's turn to do "retarded from the scratch redesign architecture era", where AMD went with their "clustered multithreading" idea which absolutely murdered performance in general multithreading unless you specifically optimized for AMD's idiotic "let's just mix some parts of the threading between cores, and keep some of it separate" implementation which led to hilarious slowdowns.

And just like Intel recovered with Sandy Bridge, AMD recovered with first gen Ryzen.

It will never cease to be funny to me how fanboys are just blind to reality.

Bulldozer era was a disaster for AMD. They got utterly crushed in CPU market because of how awful their offerings were at the time. All while Intel made what was probably their best CPUs ever on Sandy Bridge. 2500k alone is utterly legendary in how long it remained viable due to its hilariously efficient architecture.

You have to be utterly blind to reality to even pretend otherwise. Bulldozer to AMD was what P4+RDRAM was for intel. A massive fuckup that required starting over to get good again. Intel got good again with Sandy Bridge. AMD got good again with first Ryzen.

x64 is the important one at this point.

Laptops remain the domain of intel.

Also you don't need to upgrade CPU for many years now.

Athlon was great in P3-P4 era. Bulldozer sucked monkey balls and got utterly crushed by intel's offerings at the time. It wasn't until ryzens that AMD recovered.

In our case, it wasn't "frowned upon". It was so harshly enforced that we had the dumbest fucking event during my early tenure when a bunch of high flying retardmins decided to enforce the "no warez" policy by taking down the local student network's DC hub and getting students who used it temporary university expulsions. They succeeded too for several key figures who administered said hub.

This was a massive bout of idiocy, resulting in easily predictable situation where student network was basically unusable from 17 to 2 after they managed to take the DC hub down. Basically everyone came home from uni, and instead of grabbing their porn, warez, gamez, etc from others on the intranet, they vacuumed them from outside DC hubs, emule, etc. It completely overloaded the edge node, which was never supposed to carry that amount of traffic. I actually ended up getting ADSL for personal usage for a while, because university internet side was just utterly fucking useless at those times for months.

This had to do with a mix of having a couple of high flying admins who were adamant that copyright infringement is the worst crime ever, and national university network itself did in fact have pretty gnarly rules in this regard. To the point where just receiving those standard blackmail letters saying "we found this and this address sharing this file on this service" had those high level admins contact us front line admins and demand we disconnect the port of the person involved on the building switch. I.e. total loss of internet connectivity with no warning and minimal evidence.

Commercial ISPs don't do this sort of stupid shit, because frankly it isn't in their interest to screw over their paying customers. But on university network, students aren't technically paying customers. Student housing association is. And they didn't really care.

The weird part is that we seem to be in agreement, as I outlined early on. I completely agree that having IPv6 available to those who know what they're doing is a good thing.

I do what I preach here. My home connection uses ISP that has full IPv6 support. In many ways, it actually sucks at consumer level still, because everything from software firewalls to many apps on phones are just obviously not ready. So many IPv6 related bugs. Good lord, so many IPv6 related bugs...

And that's for someone who used to do this sort of config for a living.

You put fully discoverable not behind NAT IPv6 in hands of average people? Their fridge will be sending spam mail to boomers in US within a month or two. It's really, really not good.

You would need to heavily re-frame the context to claim difference to be even a little bit relevant.
