I would expect not, because why would it?

> still have to see campings in the middle of a big city

I saw that in London, in Rome and afair in Berlin

Not to the same extend as camping villages in LA but still. But I also didn't go that much inside those bad parts of cities in Europe, in US I drove through them

> I can't think of any single person who grew up (like me) in Europe and would choose US as a destination.

I can and all of them are from EU.

> The world would be better without Facebook and Instagram in particular.

Maybe, but it's also better to have our own alternatives for those than to rely in so many cases on US tech only

> China still does not have many companies on the level of American technology firms

Maybe in terms of valuation. In terms of tech itself, I would say they are pretty close, few years behind maybe with gap closing

US. Or China if you are Chinese

Both in longer term ofc

Most people in my circle in EU seems to see it in similar way. Not much we can do about it though :(

I would say they do more damage to Europe then US
Re:Mistral raises €3B on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @03:14AM (#49606633)
But you should be able to hire most of the people you want, not just some that happen to pick Paris.

Also, if given a choice of 90k eur in Paris vs let's say 2m usd in US I'm pretty sure suddenly most of the issues people have with US would suddenly disappear ;)

Lol, where did you get those numbers from? xD

Tesla uses something like 15kWh per 100km, so 5 mile drive is something like 1.1kWh

Yeah buying airpods seems like better idea than being stabbed/beaten up

Re:Was my $48K GPU server worth it? on Thursday May 21, 2026 @02:05PM (#48226716)
Depends what you want to do and which cards you have, but usually going with any older (3rd gen+) threadripper pro setup will give you a lot of pcie lanes.

I myself run with gigabyte trx40 aorus xtreme, but since it's regular threadripper (not pro) with 4 GPUs 2 of them will run at x16 and two of them at x8 speeds

Re:Was my $48K GPU server worth it? on Thursday May 21, 2026 @02:01PM (#48226659)
I wonder why using 2 PSUs resulted in having slower interconnect.

There is no specs in this blogpost regarding cpu/motherboard choice, but if you go with threadripper pro they have 128 pci-e lanes for some time now, so using all GPUs at full speed shouldn't be a problem

Re:Was my $48K GPU server worth it? on Thursday May 21, 2026 @01:54PM (#48226567)
Nope, they don't support it. And afair even if they did, you would be limited to connecting only in pairs, not all 6 together
Re:Flipper One – we need your help on Thursday May 21, 2026 @01:52PM (#48226546)
Getting rid of SDR, nfc and RFID hardware is a big mistake IMO.

Doesn't look like this is gonna be cheap, so getting rid of 20USD worth of hardware that previous generation was known for doesn't make sense

Re:Tinybox- offline AI device 120B parameters on Saturday March 21, 2026 @07:51PM (#47472815)
Not sure why they stopped using 6 GPUs in thei builds - with 4 GPUs, both 9070 and rtx6000 come in 2 slot designs, so it easy to build it yourself using a bit more expensive, but still fairly regular motherboard.

With 6 GPUs you have to deal with risers, pcie retimers, dual PSUs and custom case for so value proposition there was much better IMO

Not when you want to win and compete with someone who does 996
Re:Jolla Phone Pre-Order on Friday December 05, 2025 @11:19AM (#46163381)
I hope not. Projects like that to have any chance at surviving have to be good phones first. Adding modularity will make it worse in terms of specs, more expensive and in the result dead on arrival. Once they launch a few successful (or at least sustainable) products, they can maybe try doing some modularity
Re:The MiniPC Revolution on Monday August 25, 2025 @04:55PM (#45018882)
Minisforum ms-a2 afaik can hit a lot of those requirements unless you need to fit a big GPU or a lot of spinning rust
Re:GPU Price Tracker on Sunday April 27, 2025 @10:13AM (#43812085)
3090 is like 600-800 USD used and basically no new stock.

They have shit data since Amazon doesn't really sell most of those cards and they do no validation

Well, given how well game streaming can work (local, not cloud), I think low latency for drones should be possible :)

Not no one. There is also getac, durabook, rugged series of some dell laptops, there is (was?) itrinix and probably a bit more that I don't really know of :)
