  • Ai pcs are actually being bought. most of the pcs being used for local AI purposes are fully rammed out mac mini/studios or strix halo desktops, which are almost solely sold by smaller oems and are backed up.

    most AI pcs arent the ones the large oems clamour about (basically unused NPUs, and to a lesser extent, nvidia based computers with high vram gpus)

    the latter doesnt offer the vram required for the people who want to do in house Ai.

    confidential cpus are typically engineering samples, usually given to motherboard companies to work on bioses for the cpu generation and meant to be returned to the company after done. engeering sample cpus can be missing features, lower clocks and such that the retail varient may have.

    as for geneeation of cpu, its easier to find out via what motherboard socket it is

    on thecontext of finding second hand, i wouldnt say its common, but can happen. some chinese companies sell dirt cheap ES cpus for basic computing.

    the ilm says lga 115x, so its either 1156(1st gen), 1155(2nd or 3rd gen), 1150(4th and 5th gen) or 1151(6th to 8th gen)




  • its more or less the pro/con of strong labor laws vs at will.

    strong labor laws guarantees both sides will have some body to work a position, but theyre almost handcuffed together forever, so its extremely imperative to find the correct candidate.

    at will has poor job security, but you have the freedom to get out of the contract with the other party as long as its not a protected reason. at will lets people jump jobs more often which is better for increasing your pay. but it has a shit saftey net, so the people at the bottom struggle.

    us auto industry has reletively higher crash saftey requirements. part of the reason why everythings so damn big.

    the kei trucks are basically rear end death traps if you hit US sized vehicles.

    its why the only ones you can legally drive in some states are the ones that pass the 25 year car import law.

    some areas explicitly ban it (e.g NYC i believe)



  • i mean its just a matter that app makers avoid the windows store. the only companies i recall I remotely use on the windows store are nvidias control panel (which is ironically being depricated for nvidia app and updates itself).

    companies just don’t want to use the windows store aome because of the fear at some point if microsoft wants to take a cut of profits, they could strong arm it like android/ios/game console OS. Linux has the advantage that people will trust that repositories wont be paid.
