Was at a workbench type event at IBM's Germany headquarter about their Cloud infrastructure. While discussing microservices, they mentioned that they own WU. It was actively suggested we could use data from WU for our own services. This was last month(ish). -- The end of WU was not handled well by IBM.

At least for graphic cards, 4 lines are enough. Linus tech tips did some videos on external gpu enclosures (e.g. [1]). Conclusion was, if I recall correctly, that the performance declined around 10% when using such an enclosure.
