When you miss all the nuance of a story, of course it doesn’t make any sense lol.
Paul having prescience is a central axiom of the entire novel. They’re his golden chains and the true antagonist of the entire story. Not having it means a very mundane Dune imo.
Have you seen this one? https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=44467
You won’t find a “simple adapter” with those specs, you’re solidly in dock territory and you’re going to pay a lot extra for something capable of HDMI 2.1.
Sure, just like there will always be a speed advantage for the newest Ferrari or Lamborghini. Are they worth leasing though? Or do Honda Civics go fast enough for the vast majority of people?
No… it’s like picking up those apples, shipping them across the country, and then charging customers a delivery fee. Which is perfectly reasonable because time and fuel cost money.
Plex helps you (and others) stream from your library pretty brainlessly. Sure there are other options, but all of them are more complicated.
How do you think used cars exist if there aren’t people that buy new ones?
And… owning a home? Huh?
There are 4 models of minivan being sold currently. Anyone trying to fit 3 car seats or 7 people into a vehicle and looking for a new car pretty much gets those 4 options and that’s it.
Generally you’re right but Logic 101 and Obi wan Kenobi should’ve taught us by now that absolute statements like yours are bogus.
In addition to the curtain being torn away “cultural events” like GoT would require people to feel connected and everyone in charge seems to be doing their level best to tear us all apart.
Get the positive reviews out there at one price point and then change it, classic bait and switch.
I’m average. I will.
Quit thinking like everything has to be 100% successful the first time or it’s a failure. We have been propagandized and beaten down over the course of years to get where we are now, of course it’s going to take more than one try to get this thing together.
An RTX 5090 is like $4-$5k depending on the model.
… and exactly 2 weeks later modders will have figured out how to get their hands on the yummy free unlimited data inside it.
Has no one mentioned shucking yet? I’ve had 8 shucked drives in my server for 5yrs now and the motherboard died before any of my drives did.
Buy western digital external drives (MyBook and Passports) to tear them apart for the white-label drives on the inside. No warranties after you start using them (unless you save the enclosures to send them back) but they’re essentially the same drive as the red label NAS drives for about half the price.
All storage prices are insane in the current market but if you’re careful and test the drives before you use them (since that’s when you usually need the warranty) then you shouldn’t have a problem. Just be aware you’re either going to need to use the “kapton tape trick” or buy “SAS drive adapters” from your online store of choice for about $10 apiece to allow the drives to power on outside of the enclosure.
lol how much have you been paying them?
Not that developing competition wouldn’t be great for the consumers imo, but doesn’t Apple hold future contracts with the biggest memory makers as their #1 customer?
Seems like they, of all people, wouldn’t need to develop new relationships like this.
When these companies accept these long-term contracts, do they ask for payment upfront? Or do they just assume that the companies are “good for it” because they’re so well known?
The do-nothings are always eternally perfect because they never commit to anything.
The real world isn’t a Disney movie or an anime. You don’t know someone’s true motivations most of the time and, even if you did, they can change after a while. But doing nothing IS a decision, and the wrong one most of the time.
