Yea, the $20 price drop has made it almost irresistible... if RAM weren't so !#$^ expensive right now I'd have probably pulled the trigger in spite of the PCIe thing.
A dual epyc box (32 cores/64 threads) today with redundant power supplies, 128gb ram, and an 18TB RAID array will run you about $8500.
You can get a 64 thread single processor but the sky is the limit on the price of those things... $4600 each vs ~850 each for the 16 core models (with a higher base clock!).
Supermicro makes some pretty sweet dual epyc motherboards for around $500
The only downside for a later upgrade with the 2200G/2400G are that it only has an 8x PCIe link. All the other non-integrated graphics can support the full PCIe 16x.
But the performance hit is fairly small even for a beefy graphics card. Even so, it's giving me a bit of pause.
We didn't buy a threadripper, but we did buy dual 16-core Epycs (2.4ghz base clock 7351's).
64 threads? Yes please. But we're not a typical use case.
For the work-a-day machines where people are running excel/word/browser, we usually get core i3's with 16gb of ram and an SSD. No one ever complains as long as we peel the sticker off that says "i3" on it. Then they occasionally ask why they got a "crappy computer."
Heck, I picked up an Intel NUC 6CAYH to play with, it would be more than enough to do office desktop work. Machines today are so ridiculously overpowered.

My wife has a Nokia 6.1 and she has really liked it.
It was $270, it's got an SD card slot (or dual sim), nice non-glass-body construction, gorilla glass 4 on the front, and a pretty snappy processor. The OS is almost totally stock and gets guaranteed updates in the Android One program (2 years OS updates, 3 years security minimum IIRC).
I've got a ZTE Axon 7, it was a bit more at $350, but adds very good sounding front-firing stereo speakers, a faster processor, gorilla glass 5, and OIS on the rear camera (which I do miss if I'm taking pics with the wife's phone). And OEM-assisted LineageOS support.
Both phones very uncourageously have headphone jacks (a must for us).
I'm not sure how much you really gain in the jump from $350 -> $700-800 phones. I'd say go for it. Motorola also has some excellent phones in the mid and low range like the Moto X4 ($350), Z2 Play ($300) and the G6 ($200). They all have Android that's pretty close to stock, too.
You know that hydrogen cars are also electric cars. If you want to throw out the "golf cart" terminology, you might not want to do it while defending... electric cars.
I think the idea is you have more noise, but the noise is smaller than the details you're aiming to capture.
Then you average several pixels and make the best-scoring phone camera there is. The P20 pro only puts out a 10MP image... I bet this one will be used such that it puts out 12MP. Totally reasonable.

I'm just waiting for them to go all the way to i11.

Checks out.
Are you making a Snow Crash reference, because this feels like a Snow Crash reference...
You sound very convincing, like your words are rational and well thought out.
Your posting has been very effective and not self-defeating at all.
Keep up the good work!
Two guys spent 64 straight days cooped up in a Cessna 172?
My condolences for their sanity.

This is a stupid idea and Apple should feel bad.
Thanks a lot, Obama!

5000 cars/week isn't volume production?
I mean, it's far less than GM, but that's still approximately 1/4 million cars per year.
Here comes the take it or leave it clause in the click-through in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
A wild clause appears:
"You agree that your data can be shared with whoever we want whenever we want"
Agree/disagree with the whole document.
Disagree? No service.
Nothing is changed or fixed, but A's are legally CYed.
Or, to bring this thread full circle, they could just do Vulkan and support all three OSes...
That's a planetary exploration suit, not an EVA suit.
I'd guess it's because Xubuntu (XFCE) already exists, as does Ubuntu Mate.
They are continuing to package Lubuntu, but LXDE is now using Qt.
Yup. Same. Except without the insane number of tabs!
It's outselling Tesla? By what metric? Source?
I don't know how it works, but HTML5 autoplayblocker for Chrome works pretty well. Maybe it's best left as an extension, though?

I like how the comments on this story are just so perfectly dovetailing exactly what the story is about.
And your point being this makes Linux... ?
