@lain I'm skeptical that this thing is going to feel like a real workstation. 20 ARM cores doesn't bode well for single-threaded perf and creates compatibility issues, and if it's 1PFLOP in FP4 that means it's maybe a 5070 level GPU at most?
@r000t For those who haven't seen it, Gamers Nexus just dropped a video calling out NZXT for their predatory gaming PC rental service, where you rent a gaming PC at an obscene rate. You'll spend as much in 8-10 months on rent payments as you would have spent just buying the computer, and you still won't even own the damn computer at the end of it.
For a $2k computer, over 2 years you would pay $6k in rental fees, and you'd have nothing to sell at the end to subsidize your next upgrade. Buying with a credit card is still a bad financial decision, but also miles better than using this scam of a service.
@crunklord420 Is the spread this insane in any other field? Huge amounts of talent and sustained effort, and the rewards are usually less than minimum wage...unless everything falls into place, and then suddenly you've got enough money sitting in your bank account to buy a house with cash.
@caekislove I'm now in the phase of my life where I think it's cringe that I ever thought highly of the IDW, now I'm wondering what I'm doing now that I'm going to be cringing at a few years from now.
