  • Probably USA.

    Never seen a chair in an assembly line section except for an occasional desk.

    Actually tbh I think the chair aspect is the least concerning. Chair vs standing is usually based on the task required, where chair is only provided as a necessity like work that requires higher precision or a certain type of dexterity.

    Would probably see chairs for something like component soldering or sewing.

    Otherwise they could easily fashion all those workers with a cheap plastic chair in the picture since they clearly spent the money on proper attire and health standards.

    Looks like seafood processing, which I’ve never seen a chef or cook do sitting lol. Have seen squatting but I don’t think that counts.

    If you want something that fits the SFF cube shape so you can throw it next to a TV or desk for video output, you can probably go for the SYS-A22GA-NBRT.

    Easy to upgrade CPU & RAM later down the line if you start doing more stuff with it, plus space for dedicated GPU if you ever want to do heavy media server stuff.

    Would avoid pi due to the underperformance for the price. Plus best bang for buck usable storage will always be HDDs. SD cards are nice but you have to disable journaling to keep the writes low as to not wear down usable blocks.





  • I think its really funny that the RTX brand name still reflects Nvidia’s previous endeavor to pump money.

    Remember they made a big deal about real time ray tracing because they already knew that GTX series had hit a powerful standard that would cause GPUs to become cheaper in the long run. The only “improvements” left for gaming was raw performance and 4k content, which Moore’s law would solve in only a handful of years.

    So they artificially created a new graphics standard requiring new hardware that no one actually needed to ensure that future generations of GPUs would remain highly profitable.

    Which is why the 30 series had such a massive leap over the 20 series for ray trace performance. They wanted everyone to buy the next product, so they simply added more ray tracing cores that really should have been in the 20 series.

    But then the big AI moneymaker hit and they focused all their attention to the tensor cores instead, and now the RTX name and ray tracing cores are an artifact of the past.


  • I think if valve had gone the route of swappable SoCs, it could have done better since you could choose to upgrade it in the future for relatively cheap and not get locked in to the platform. They didn’t because they wanted to release a ubiquitous product that devs could target as a hardware spec like the steam deck.

    1k for essentially gaming laptop performance is gonna be a tough ask in this tire fire market. The biggest savior by far has been users boosting their old platforms to the max because everything current gen is hella expensive.

    Plus it will be undercut by PS5 which is the biggest contender. Valve’s major edge is the software, but a $400-$500 premium is not worthwhile for many.

    I also think they underestimated 4k users. There’s not that many 4k users in the PC space because its expensive, but a lot of people have 4k TVs because the display tech at that scale is pretty cheap. People will want 4k output if they’re gonna use this as intended with a larger screen.


  • Boost my ass.

    They spent the previous 3 years shredding any chance they had at being a serious power player by nuking both the economy and government all while sucking American foreign policy demands.

    They are literally only invovled because they happened to be a foreign nation that borders Iran and happens to have a sizeable military that offers security for negotiation purposes.

    The only thing they’ve gotten out of this is some KSA loan money slashed. The same loan money that they nuked thr aforementioned economy and government for and ehich they obviously sent and spent for businesses and living abroad.
