I’m waiting for it come back in to style. I’ve pitched getting beige racks with this on the side https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_(design)

I used to get EVGA bstock which was reasonable but they got out of the business 😞

I swapped to AMD this generation and it’s still expensive.

I’ve been saying this. I’m curious to see who wins out. In this case it’s populist bullshit vs American coffee retailers. Let’s see who comes out on top.

Part of that joke though is that they’re both exactly the same which is of course a false premise.

Tossed it in the microwave and here we are

I get what you are saying but your entire post dances around the actual problem. All of this is fine if there was actually good software. Ive yet to see any killer app or must have software. If there were really good games it would make the hardware short comings less important. Even apple with their typically polished experiences seems to have just dumped their headset on the market and hope for the best.

Fair enough it was a 2.5 nvme but 8tb m2 2280 disks have been on the market for literal years. You could get them in PCIe gen 3 …

The reason it costs so much is because the chip industry is limiting supply again again to drive prices up after a few years of over producing. Not because there is something fancy in this drive.

This isn’t bleeding edge at all. Just put a 15tb drive in a machine the other day and they are a couple years old at this point.

You know I’ve not seen a bonzibuddy in a long long time.

No it’s because they take a horse sized chunk out of you when they bite you

Maybe check out Kagi’s ultimate tier. They let you swap between some of the different options to see which you might find useful. As a bonus you also get kagi search which can be useful.

So… Just another Tuesday for consulting then?

They can be tracked back one by one but if you have any amount of traffic it’s a constant game of cat and mouse.

You can block entire ASNs until they start using residential proxies provided by less ethical companies. Then you end up blocking all of France or destroying user experience by enforcing a captcha on everyone.

The type of request is not relevant. It’s the cost of the request that’s an issue. We have long ago stopped serving html documents that are static and can be cached. Tons of requests can trigger complex searches or computations which are expensive server side. This type of behavior basically ruins the internet and pushes everything into closed gardens and behind logins.

And they had arms

I mean in addition to all that even if they didn’t scan your id of you pay with anything but cash then the credit card company or bank knows and can be made to give up that info pretty easily.
