Also pay for our electricity and water use.

Not Ethernet cable specifically, but on the topic of limitations of wires there’s the classic case of the 500-mile email.

Ah yes, faster spaghetti. Wonderful.

The bubble will pop, but I’m not convinced the hobbyist PC hardware market is going to recover.

Realistically, the consumer market for PC components existed because there was a business market for desktop computers as employee workstations. That’s mostly dead now. Businesses mostly buy laptops or mini PCs for employee workstations, they have less and less need for desktop hardware because most of the computing tasks have moved to SaaS platforms. The consumer PC hardware market isn’t that profitable on its own, it exists on the margins of production for business purchasing, and it’s been coasting on momentum built up in the 2010s.

Processor architectures are changing to support machine learning tasks, GPU production is shifting toward ML-specialization, and everyone in the design field is trying to remove the barriers between the CPU and the RAM, which means shortening the path, which means getting rid of the socket and end-user upgradability in favor of soldered components. With SaaS taking over everything in the business world, we’re trending back toward the mainframe computing model and away from powerful local hardware.

I’m not saying there won’t be a consumer PC market in the future, I’m just saying that it will be different. There won’t be enough demand for common desktop components to keep the custom PC build market alive as it was five years ago.

It’s a sarcasm about corporate spending decisions. The joke is:

Everyone has a test environment. Some are lucky enough to also have a production environment.

The point being that if management has decided not to spend resources on a test environment, then “production” is in fact test.

I hope the engineers have a paper trail of emails advising against that.

More specifics are needed for a support request. Provide the baseline specifications please.

What OS are you using? What is the make and model of the drive? Is it internal or external? USB? SATA? SAS? NVMe? A PCIe adapter? Is this a desktop, laptop, NAS, server, NUC, Raspberry Pi with an expansion board?

For all we know you’re using a refurbished and relabeled SAS drive plugged into an adapter on an eSATA port on a 10 year old motherboard sitting in a cardboard box.

Are you familiar with SMART? Have you done any diagnostics?

“A lot of men and their behaviors have ruined this product.”

Yes, like the men running the companies that make this product.

Too big to fail!

my friend has to write weekly reports to his bosses on how AI is improving workflow in the office. He’s not allowed to say, “It’s not.” Only positive feedback. They need to justify its continued use, so he needs to find benefits to report to the higher-ups.

“Please make us blind to all consequences!”

Heh, I opened port 22 on my home network once. There wasn’t anything on it to connect to, but the firewall recorded thousands of SSH connection attempts within hours. Within a day it had over a million hits.

Yeah, you never really know how sheltered you are until you step out.

Clearly that’s an outer demon.

I hope so. Nurses have pretty good unions right?

I’m convinced that the only thing that will really save us from this sort of thing is labor organization.

What will happen is they will sell it to your boss as a way to cut costs on labor, but will arrange things legally such that you are still responsible for the patients’ wellbeing, so if the AI makes a mistake you get the blame.
