someone shouldn’t have to handle the fallout for an action caused directly by someone else handing it off to them, when she could have easily sent that text to them instead. Sibling in this case is being used because sister doesn’t want to face the arguing.

the problem at least in the shortrun, is that if you got that many ssds running in single lane on a consumer platform at the likely inflated cost the drives would be, it would almost be cheaper just to get the workstation platform at that point.

its usually because HR didnt interpret tequirements correctly. sometimes when it says 5 years on x language what was originally meant to be said is that you are a programmer that has programmed for at least 5 years (kinda mid level) and you have mid experience with said language, and not necessarily 5 years of said language.

so 5 years of java programming should actually say

5 years of programming/mid seniority programmer who is comfortable with java

how I see it is what one intends to use the software for. for ones self, and for commision work, the other options are perfectly fine (and imo encouraged). the sole reason why someone would use the adobe products is if theyre looking to work in a company already using the suite, or they already just happen to have the skillset already in it, and switching would change workflow.

anyone learning from the start imo should consider the other options first.

you mean its not En Gee Nix?

i actually think its not the worst priced framework product ironically. Prebuilt 1k pcs tend to be something like a high end cpu + 4060 desktop anyways, so specs wise, its relatively speaking, reasonable. take for example cyberpower pcs build here, which is of the few oems iirc Gamers Nexus thinks doesn’t charge as much of a SI tax on assembly. it’s acutally not incredibly far off performance wise. I’d argue its the most value Framework product per dollar ironically.

the model clearly was designed around to cut coat corners and imo, meant to partially replace their chromebook line. using the older 13th gen cpu, ontop of having features like a kensington lock makes it sound like its the cheap option for school leasing.

they already announced pricing for them.

1099 for the base ai max model with 32gb(?), 1999 for fully maxed with the top sku.

its used to mean a new product that you specifically have to keep track of. e. g if you found framework desktops in a store, it wouldnt all be sold under 1 sku. all 3 ram capacities would be 3 different bar codes

qbits in general yes. with traditional computing, a state is either on (powered) or off(unpowered). the fundamental idea of quantum physics, but also quantum computing, is that there are other aspects of an electron that can be measured and changed. which direction it spins, its offset, what direction its poles are etc.

with more different “states” that an electron can be in that can be measured, you can get that many times more data, per electron.

so in laymans terms when comparing it to a lightbulb, at a given moment in time you not only care about if the light is off or on, but what color it is, what brightness it is, how hot it is, if its making a noise, what shape its making. fundamentally speaking, having more states means you can describe something faster since youre sending out more measurable data at once.

to most people (including myself, who did take college level modern physics. course), explaining the standard model of elementary particles, is way too high of a level regardless.

its like being given scifi names and terminology, and then suddenly finding out theyre real.

i work in refurbishment of the leased devices. basically laptops are either bought, or returned to a 3rd party business, to be processed and resold to a business who resells, or to another business that wants cheap devices .

these are businesses, there wont be a demand drop because business’ do not behave like consumers. a good chunk of them will at times, buy things they might not need.

the majority of laptops dont come from companies like acer. the majority of them are leased by dell/lenovo/hp to businesses. all this does is hurt acer. and businesses require the laptops to function so the major total of laptops isnt changing much.

also tariffs doesnt automatically create rise of US production. it can also have the opposite effect. E.g during trumps last term, boutique case maker CaseLabs went out of business due to tariffs on aluminum prices. You know which case companies survived? the ones that kept production in asia.

the problem most competitors that arent nvidia is that they do not have the devloper ecosystem that N idia has entrenched. even the recently released deep seek ai, still fundamentally uses nvidia based code.

100%, nvidia doesnt have its own fabs, and I dont think anyone wants to use intels fabs for gpus, as it would have been a regression in performance. if the tariffs last for Trumps entire presidency, pricing for nvidia products,. especially since they have huge interest in breaking into the mainstream arm audience down the line, is in danger.

which phoronix in question doesn’t do a raytracing section in particular with, so what data are yuou expecting phoronix to pump out? Their literal choice for raytracing is Quake RTX, as its linux native title. This is a situation where you’re looking at the wrong type of reviewer if you want a specific piece of content.

of course its not all games, but it becomes significantly more messy for the reviewer to test it becuase you start getting anomolous data based on a decision made in advance.

also its a phoronix review, and last I recall, raytracing is spotty on linux and dependant if it uses wine or not. in the case for liek cyberpunk it does, but if a game doesnt natively have raytracing, its uses are more mixed

because actual FPS becomes volitile regardless of GPU because at 1080p, many games become CPU bottlenecked, so it becomes less of a question of the GPU being able to do something, but if your CPU is fast enough to maintain it. the benchmark then becomes very muddy because it may not be representative of what to actually expect.

The previous generations 4090 was already very cpu bottlenecked often at 1080p alone.
