2·12 days agoNot for long, see the push by Republican groups for abolishing property tax.
5·2 months agoVega and Radeon VII were a thing, but I doubt we’ll see the like again considering they were basically panicked attempts by AMD to find something that worked. At least their efforts with Zen 1/2 took off.
They don’t make RAM, there’s only a very few companies that actually make the chips that go into RAM. Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung basically make up the entire market and they’re not afraid to use that to their advantage.
They’ve been literally convicted of price fixing in the past as a cartel.
Microsoft wants to kill on-prem for enterprise. Windows 11 Enterprise is a monthly subscription to your Office 365, sorry Microsoft 365, wait no Copilot 365 account. Exchange Server 2019 is the end with their subscription only version replacing it. They’re retiring Dynamics on prem to move you to the cloud.
The cloud services are parted out just right that you get almost everything you’re trying to do with one package, only to need the next level up at double the price for one little thing, or an add-on service that just so happens to need the E3 version instead of E1. Oh but you can pay twice as much again for the all-in-one bundle, it comes with everything! Expect that thing you need for regulatory compliance, that’s still extra. It’s like they studied the predatory pricing of freemium games and went “we can do better than that”
Selling you an OS once is of no interest to them. Monthly charges? Better but still not enough. All of your data flowing through their systems, ripe for harvesting and vendor lock-in? That’s the good stuff.
1·2 months agoBe glad it’s not in your area or you were grandfathered into unlimited then. 1.2 TB cap with $10 / 50GB over that. Or you can get unlimited data for an additional $30 / month. Their modem rental includes unlimited data for $25 / month.
You might also want to run a speed test. Comcast has a very small list of modems that they approve for mid split / high split for faster upload speeds https://www.xfinity.com/support/internet/customerowned That meant my own modem (which supported it but wasn’t “approved”) could only get ~100 Mb/s upload, but their rental hits the 300 they advertise (closer to 350 with the over-provisioning)
Except with their bandwidth fees I would be paying more money to use my own equipment than to rent theirs (which includes unlimited bandwidth). Not to mention there are very few modems they allow to use DOCSIS High Split for increased upload speeds even if they’re capable of it.
Put it in bridge mode, open it up and disconnect the wifi antennas and use your own gear.

Careful where you point that thing, don’t want it to go off in someone’s face.
