Do companies actually use (((Bython))) or is it just facebook cope? every job is php, .net, or java backend. This also applies to typescript, react, and db platforms like supabase i.e. all the jobs want you to code in bootstrap, VanillaJS, and then setup your own PostgreSQL server. Is everything a lie?

What is the most private VPN? Mullvad looks nice but it requires systemd which is a no-go. Needs to be good for torrenting and other such stuff. Apparently proton and nord and all the VPNs that get shilled are all glowware.

>source: my asshole

In reality this is why you buy an SSD that at the absolute minimum:

A) Was not manufactured/designed/whatever in China.

B) Has dedicated onboard DRAM.

If both A and B are met, the chance that your SSD will randomly die due to a dying/defective controller is incredibly fucking low, like probably less than 1%.
All you really need to worry about is TBW. That's miles and miles better than periodically changing dust filters and making sure your room is as close to a clean room as possible.

Why were there so few devs who didn't see the power of PS3 CELL's weirdness as an obstacle but as a challenge to be overcome?

>generally programmable GPUs were the future not castrated vector engines
To be fair programmable GPUs also used castrated vector engines, and especially as early as the nvidia G80 they were extremely limited to a few tasks only. Said tasks were ones that required extremely simple logic but could be spread across multiple small and slow cores.
For example GPGPUs are fantastic at accelerating video encoding/decoding in hardware, and that was also one of the tasks the Cell excelled at (if you pardon the pun). There was some set top box back in the day that could run dozens of video streams simultaneously using the Cell. Same thing.

This is what GPGPUs do good to this day, and this is also what the Cell was meant to do as well, it's just that GPGPUs had hundreds to thousands of cores while the Cell had 8. But to be fair the Cell was designed in like 2003.

>gta v for example
I would bring this up immediately for a reason why the 360 did everything right. It looks the same and runs the same but the 360 costs a lot less. Lol lmao.
There's a long story why the PS3 is a bodge job hack of a system where everything ever went wrong. The 360 is comparatively a wonderfully streamlined system, absolute peak performance usecase optimization, good shit. It's basically the mold after which PCs went immediately after it, SMT and unified shaders.
Unified shaders are the reason Cell died in the datacenter too, KEK.
Too bad then silicon foundries FUCKED THE BOTH OF THEM with defective graphics chips so now I need to sacrifice a slim to my phat BC PS3 and I need to do that at one guy in Romania and I don't wanna ship my shit to Romania or take a trip to Romania, not yet.

I wonder if I can find the comment from YT of some retard's ARG where PS3 had 6 gorillion ARM cores instead and was LE GOOD, kek. Like this kid read a bunch of different CPU cores that existed for license and wrote his little ARG on how the console wars would have gone without understanding why having 10 Symbian phone cores together would make no fucking sense.

>>109177602
>But the 360 had the same piece of shit PPE, just 3 instead of 1.

Yes, and? No one is talking about the 360. But if you want to know, 360 had a better GPU, better memory subsystem, and 3x PPE is still easier to use than 8x SPE.

In the US that's been tried but 90% of the funds get eaten up by administration. The little bit that does trickle down to "displaced workers" doesn't do much good because the training programs are basic crap you could learn in a couple of days on Coursera. Maybe China will do better.

So, due to the insane costs of storage expansion, storing stuff on their cloud servers and paying for the "privilege" is a better proposition and they PROMISE they won't look at anything I keep there...yet there are things I'm not allowed to keep on there, meaning they DO know what I'm using their servers for.

I do hope you've adopted a good easing strategies for when these drives start dying

>So, due to the insane costs of storage expansion, storing stuff on their cloud servers and paying for the "privilege" is a better proposition
I live in a shithole where even with no shortages, tech is expensive due to absurdly high import and sales taxes. Even with this situation, I could get a 6TB HDD for 25 dollars every month for twelve months and actually keep it after this time is up; Stores haven't been stocking 2TB or under lately, but last time I saw one it was listed at 120 bucks, meaning that it literally matched Google Drive in price for the first year.

Why you'd use cloud as your primary storage is beyond me
>>
>>109177223
That's what the cloud wants you to do. I'm not into it myself.

I do use OneDrive for some things but mostly access to things I want in multiple locations. I have far more stored locally than I do out in the cloud.
>>
>>109177468
My point is that at best, it matches local storage in terms of price, I'd understand it if say, you got 2TB for $1/mo, but at the same price it becomes silly. Off-site backups and file sharing are valid use cases
