Hahaha so true. Or is it socialist since the data is coming from a garbage truck lol 🤔

Wtf, is there nothing that isn’t for sale anymore?

Ohh so true…my comment applies to the status quo so yah…if we go into an extended recession then yah…

Yah fully embedded hardware that isn’t user serviceable will be junk and I agree recycling needs to be an option, but sadly we aren’t at the price point where it’ll be economical for companies to do so. Prices need to escalate significantly from these levels to do so otherwise we would be seeing it happen already.

That is certainly possible, but at the other end is the argument that these corps are greedy as all hell so they will likely try to profit reselling the used hardware as well given the current market for it.

Pretty much what I was thinking except at the 24-26TB level lol 😎

True it depends largely on the manufacturer of the drives but yah agreed, likely to be used harder than your typical large scale vps/web server hosting company but, still, its gotta help the pricing market some because its just bonkers expensive now for used drives.

One of the good things that could come from this is the flood of cheap used hard drives and RAM which will hopefully drop used prices back down…beyond that everything else about this just sucks.

Ahhh lol thanks for the added context. Missed out on that one.

Ahh roger that, is there a flair to tell or is just deduced from post history?

That is pretty cool, OP, do you have a source for the pic?

I lol’d because one of the questions in the comments was, well what can it do, and the answer was…not much. That’s an awfully expensive toy…but at least the legs are replaceable 🤷‍♂️

Oh wow, I had no idea. I don’t listen to Joe Rogan because he’s a disingenuous snake oil salesman.

No one is trying to bring it back, it’s a callout to a time in the past. That is all.

😂 in 2026, yah agreed!

Thats a bit cheeky, don’t you think?🤔
