Years ago, when SSDs were doubling their maximum capacity every two years we had charts showing when exactly SSDs will achieve parity with HDDs in terms of cost per TB and in terms of maximum capacity. Then the end of SATA happened in 2020, and it threw all predictions away, in the past 4 years...

4TB SSDs were becoming affordable last year. You could get one for 150 EUR, and now for quite some time the same drives cost 250 EUR. And it doesn't look like it's temporary. That's modern progress for you now.

Why not? We're getting stellar increases in SSD capacities? Some manufacturers even released product lines that end at 2 TB instead of previous 4 TB - so we wouldn't notice the price increase too much! Shingled HDD drives have of course many downsides compared to standard CMR drives, and only...

I think everyone is quite surprised by quick developments, but certain jobs are already taking heavy hit, even with this very imperfect early generative results. But yeah, it looks we'll be doing menial manual labor and leave the art, creative stuff to AI very, veey soon. Not just because it...

Unfortunately that isn't really "the state of GPU today", but the state of GPU 1. 5 years ago. So in late 2024, early 2025 you will first have to add 2 years of inflation, and only then start to apply "Jensen's law" (the price will not go down any more, Moore's dead)...

If the Nvidia's 50X0 again offers decrease in price / performance, all bets are off. AMD has no intention of undercutting Nvidia's pricing, because they don't want to dedicate significant portion of their silicon - they are focusing on products with much higher profit margins. So we might see an...

There are no bounds to what AI could possibly do for you! So you can get as poetic, hyperbolic, grandiose as your imagination can take you! Or better yet, give AI the task to write press releases about how good it is! :p

Sennheiser is a large company, with many production facilities that are mainly not in China (Germany, Romania, Albuquerque - USA, Tullamore - Ireland... They are since 2021 part of Sonova Holding AG - one of the providers of hearing solutions, and other brands of the company are mainly in...

Yeah, they are selling this "Artificial Inteligence" as if we have really cracked it, and it's only a factor of enough computing power to get the perfect results. The reality is often dissapointing, forcing companies to still rely on manpower after heavy investments...

That would be the speed of 4 year old SATA Samsung SSD 870 QVO 8TB, I don't think they would dare to market the SSD drive with sustained speed that's 1/3 of a HDD that sells for 1/5 of the price of this drive? TechPowerUP reviewed that drive (in smaller capacity, but the sustained speed on...

The way things are going, Nvidia might even rename the gaming line into something more currently fashionable. I mean, they can be used as a "neural processors" with way more TOPS than all the CPUs with integrated graphics accelerators, now renamed into AI accelerator... And even if it doesn't...

Trickle down effect from the insane prices audiophiles are willing to pay for the high end headphones.

That's just ridiculous. We'll be getting USB keys in this size before they decide to offer internal SSDs in capacities greater than 4 TB apparently...

Can't say I "hyte" this because I'm not the target audience, some people might actually like the combination of eye candy screen, eye candy unnecessarily large radiator that brings no increase in cooling and, of course, ridiculous name. Why not go the whole way and enroll some big bottomed porn...

Not the disruption we need but a disruption we deserve. :p
