This is pretty good news for those of who like to keep local collections of media.

In many ways, you can think of a datacenter’s use of hard drives as the ultimate test for a hard drive—you’re keeping a hard drive on and spinning for the max amount of hours, and often the amount of times you read/write files is well over what you’d ever see as a consumer. Industry trend-wise, drives are getting bigger, which means that oftentimes, folks are buying fewer of them. Reporting on how these drives perform in a data center environment, then, can give you more confidence that whatever drive you’re buying is a good investment.

Depends on the consumer. My x2 HDDs (7.27 TB total) have seen at least ~765 TB in reads and ~60 TB in writes since Dec 2021. True number is likely somewhat higher, especially for writes.

I was planning to build a new desktop with Zen 6 late next year.

I have a feeling that even if the bubble does burst by then, the economic effects might make me stick with my 5800X/3080 (which honestly works just fine).

OxygenOS 16 is described by OnePlus in grandiose terms as “a defiant rebellion for authenticity.”

Oh, the irony of describing such a "basic bitch" releases as “a defiant rebellion for authenticity” ...

I can strongly recommend the arricle from the OP blog post about marker dynamics and use of what is essentially accounting fraud by major companies involved in AI:

Lifespan of AI Chips: The $300 Billion Question

I am looking forward to reading the research paper they are working on.

While the author takes a relatively neutral tone, the analysis is brutal in its portrayal of major market players (Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Google); they come of more as oligopolists who are happy to engage in what is de facto in an attempt to undermine true market competition.

It's better than nothing.

They will continue to releases major security updates for Windows 10 as long as it has double digit installed base share.

When the bubble pops, it's not going to be pretty.

The Creator Program wasn’t just a feature, it was a full blown movement that rocked Reddit, on the blockchain no less. You all built communities. You created art. Your art became memes. You put a cone on it. You even got paid (a first!). At the end of the day, you all made magic.

Laugh.

I feel like we are never going to go beyond improvements (often notable ones) in DRAM and NAND. There is just too much industry and ecosystem momentum behind these technology approaches.

MRAM has been around since the mid 80s.

The benefits highlighted in the article (I do wish they were more specific about power consumption compared to SRAM) seem to imply this is the future, I am assuming the biggest drawback is cost and lack of an industry ecosystem.

If/when a bubble does happen, I do wonder what the future value of all these enterprise GPU data centres will be and how quickly their value will depreciate.
