Forget the hardware, I feel Sun could of continued their life as the business AWS became.

Later on, when Schwartz was the CEO, they had a datacenter in a shipping container concept selling to management/IT folks. Delivering that infra via APIs to developers being the key differentiator. I'd love to hear Bryan's take since he was involved in the cloud space after he left.

One cool feature is that you can use C-Kermit to do inline file transfers over the open SSH session. It doesn't work over a terminal muxer like screen/tmux, but it is pretty useful for a quick way to transfer files between the client and the remote host.

The remote host just needs kermit or zmodem (sz/rz), since at least K95 supported zmodem also.

There are paid for SSH clients (SecureCRT) that has the feature with Zmodem. Nice to have it on free software.

At least with me (married filing jointly), when Trump raised the standard deduction so high, the mortgage interest deduction doesn't come into play. It hasn't seemed to change my total tax liability, it just made my tax return easier to do. I haven't had to itemize for years now.

Micron isn't exiting the consumer business. Their consumer brand (Crucial) is going away.

You don't buy SK Hynix or Samsung RAM (unless you are an OEM typically.)

Consumers can still buy RAM from companies like G.Skill, TeamGroup, Corsair, Kingston, etc. Those companies can use chips from any of the big three.

Awesome doc. I've taken some pictures of real life in comparison to the game, but not to the extreme level you have. Any fans of the game who wants to visit Seattle this summer, this is the doc for you!

In Abby Day 1, I'm pretty sure she goes through the Home Depot on 1st Ave and spends some time going through SODO. Not sure where that building with the boat is. That part seems missing from your doc.

Also, you do see the Space Needle pretty closely on the Seraphite island. In real life the Space Needle and the TV station (where the WLF people are strung up) are right next to each other. In the game, not so much.

Bestbuy has the PNY 4060 Ti 16GB in stock right now for $450.

It hasn't been for years now. The systems get a unique password from the factory and is on the tag.

The guy you are replying to was employee 2 or 3 depending on how you count at Amazon.

There was a ton of various scripts written in perl that kept everything running for sure. The website code was C/C++ as mentioned elsewhere.

Website was written in C for NSAPI. obidos was the name. If you see current URLs that contain /gp/, that is when they transitioned to java backend. GP stands for Garupa.

Cool. I don't think I understood that aspect back then. I was tasked to look at converting the sun box sitting in the sodo DC to something else. I logged in and found latex but didn't understand it how it all fit together.
