Even with insane memory prices, 16GB of GDDR7 is ~$200-300 at most. That by itself isn't responsible for GPU prices to explode. The fabs are just producing more profitable chips, so everything else becomes more expensive as they compete for a much smaller remaining capacity at TSMC.

Definitely not just a memory problem.

How many watts are you saving with that, realistically? If that few minutes of extra battery is a game changer, you need a bigger battery, not a worse screen.

Ford vs. Ferrari, except that the Ford is actually a few months old Ferrari.

Does Ferrari have any moat if it can't convince the government to ban Ford?

Reality: renewables rapidly increasing in the US every year, especially solar (around 30%)

Anduril sells missiles like the Barracuda-M (1/10 the warhead of a Tomahawk missile, and reduced range) for north of $200k. Very similar payload delivery price, that isn't actually a cheaper alternative. Arguably many targets don't require a 500kg warhead and in those cases a much smaller and cheaper missile would do the trick just fine, and if it can be produced much faster and benefit from economy of scale, even better, but at the end of the day they're just as much looking to make as much profit as possible as everyone else (everything for the shareholders).

US military procurement regulations keep companies like GlobalFoundries alive. No alternative for critical chips from some of their legacy nodes (at least none that can be certified within years, obviously the chips themselves are very far from cutting edge).

Everything made in Ukraine is just assembled Chinese parts though (nothing wrong with that, entirely different difficulty however).

Would such a thing even be covered by insurance? Or is it negligence for using a product after it might turn into an unstable bomb at any time?

On the other hand, wild that it doesn't revert to some sort of offline backup mode after warranty ends. Or that anyone bought it in the first place (that can't be standard in the industry, right?).

HEIC is a container, not a codec. You can put an avif in there if you want to.

Even the cleanest bombs (97%+ fusion rather than fission) turned out to be too dirty for basically everything civilian (unlocking gas reservoirs - too radioactive; landscaping to replace enormous amounts of conventional explosives - too radioactive).

webp = VP8 image

Nothing wrong with that per se, it's just old and limited, especially compared to avif/AV1 which would be like a theoretical VP10 at this point.

It's mostly about the distance, isn't it? Iirc even with the most modern ultra high voltage lines, it's about 3% per 1000km. Which honestly doesn't sound too bad, even for really long distances (like solar power from some desert to where people actually live).

It's like the racist facebook users profile picture meme, but with "concerned" reddit users post history (always hidden).

10 years ago redditors took some pride in transparency, you were able to check who you were talking to based on their profile (unlike boards like 4chan). Now it's auto-generated user names with hidden everything. Might as well get rid of unique names and profiles at all and call everyone anon.

Latency has roughly remained the same since DDR2, no? So that has just about nothing to do with the improved performance of every generation.
