Oh dear God, the fact that such a statement can be made...

Iran is definitely more reasonable. Not good. But reasonable.

The USA, on the other hand, cannot be reasoned with. They are, by definition, unreasonable.

I honestly might switch to Linux. I know people say that a lot, but gaming has been the only thing keeping me on Windows.

But I've also come to realize I just don't have that much free time to game any more. Most of my computer use is putting YouTube on in the background or web browsing. I still occasionally game, but Linux support keeps improving and even if I only pick Linux supported games... I still won't have enough time to play them all.

The only "question" is why would you believe what Elon "promised" at any point?

What's a trade pact worth when the US won't honor it anyways?

Many portable batteries (i.e. campsite batteries) have a UPS mode and can be used that way. Much more expensive though.

That's not the jackpot prize

Don't fine wines taste better when they're more expensive? Lol

Aren't people backdoor already doing this? There are lots of people who only have their phone and maybe a tablet, and for basically everything that might actually require computing power (i.e. photo editing) they end up using a web app or something.

Nvidia definitely isn't Enron. It's all of Nvidia's customers that are mini-Enrons.

Enron crashed because they were cooking their books and faking income, declaring potential profit where none existed.

That's not Nvidia. Nvidia is selling actual product as fast as they can make it at whatever price they want to charge.

Nvidia's customers, on the other hand, are the ones who have to justify buying billions of dollars of product from Nvidia and explaining how they plan to make a profit from that.

That's far from the only problem....

Or the Taiwanese one, since all these companies are based in Taiwan
