Sounds nice, but yes, uses quite a bit of power.

I should measure mine - I have a Ryzen 5900 (24t, 64MB … some 20k cinebench score) as the main, and a Core 12700 (16+4t, 12MB).
(And Intel gen 7 and 2 at my patents. All of them proxmoxed.)

Never ever managed to bottleneck anything on them, not really, but got them super cheap used.

Buying anything server/enterprise that powerful would cost me a lot of moneys. And prob have two CPUs which doubles a lot of power hungry bits.

Isn’t that a bit like buying an old truck instead of a year old Miata?

Afaik those CPUs use so much juice when idling … sure, you dont get all them lanes or ECC, but a PC at the same price with a few year old CPU outclasses that CPU by a lot & at a fraction of the running cost (also quietly).

Just something to keep in mind as an alternative, especially when you don’t intend to fill all the pcie bussy (several users with several intensive tasks that benefit from wider bus to RAM & PCI even with a slow CPU).
Ok, and you miss out on some fancy admin stuff, but … it’s just for home use …

It’s unnerving. It causes clashes in my brainhole.

It’s … it’s not like that at all.

It’s a seemingly complicated Rube Goldberg machine with an enormous amount of other species extinctions before our own.

It’s inefficient is that it is.
We need something more direct like the pictured solution. Other species deserve us getting efficient like that.

Yes, this.

And prob not what op is looking for but I also have a bunch of esp32 cams, different PCBs and with different sensors/lenses.

They ain’t much but also cost like 3 monies with shipping (and is enough to eg normally recognise people etc).

Can twatter app not also track location, and use mic & cam at will?

to shrink reliance on Big Tech

Right there in the title

A shiny!!

No need to thank me, thank her for being, and you for sharing the pic :).

Nah, it’s not about single-use, it’s about the collection. You can’t take some og the rare ones out of their original packaging or they lose value!

(with a little bite marks is still fine :))

I would love a floating skull

Imagine making yourself a pun.

Such an elegant lady!! <3

Ohh, they weren’t CPUs? (like in >!Hyperion cantos!< by Dan Simmons)

I prob just assumed it/headcanoned it bcs just the batteries is ofc stupid.

would kill people

(Crashing your “computer” doesn’t usually fry your CPU, just crashes the software, nor does 100% CPU load necessarily crash your PC, just keep the CPU cool and within safe amperage/voltage specs)

Yes! But they have spares, and hot & cold redundancies. Just wait for the reboot, the robots do all the admin work (wait, the Matrix robots are not furries? Another stupid script inconsistency/decision!)

And now try with a bit less cheese/a smaller ass.
You gotta find a spot that those brainholes can still process in real time - it’s not just the point to see at what size your butt crashes the system, but also to see what’s the max butt size you it can still successfully process twerking - the true cosmic clappening.

Imagine billions of people thinking at 100% capacity about every detail of your butt.

Well, that’s a challenging Linux install.

It will however run Doom as is.

Is that the family suicide revolver in the pic??

Oh no, but I need to buy a new buttplug every day!

Wait, I’m not American, nvm.

Tbh thats just one step less than how it normally works.

The things at the bottom of some paws?
