Maybe I'm missing something, but the prices look bad for what is offered. Why would you use them over say a managed server, for example from Hetzner [0] or Netcup [1]?

> Also they're owned by Tencent, so yeah.
They own "only" 40% of Epics shares from what I can gather.

Yeah, I thought so too since Nvidia owns Mellanox and Intel having their own NICs, OmniPath etc.

Could also be a bit of both. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's mainly Samsung giving Nvidia a great deal. For years it's all over town that Samsung seems to have the best wafer prices in the industry.

Yes, 1 or 2 years ago I saw a short piece about recycling plastics and what really is getting recycled in the end. Many products which would be easy to recycle didn't get recycled because they had fancy labels on them which made it hard or impossible for the machines which resulted in the plastics getting burned instead.

> statically linked so they "just work"
If I remember correctly you have to redistribute some .dll (VC something) file alongside your .exe on Windows since fresh Windows installations don't have the .dll. Did that change?

Maybe you can rent a sod remover machine? I've seen those rented out for ~40 USD per day.

With those machines it's more comfortable then the spade method [0], especially if the area is larger. After the sod is removed (you can put it on the compost with the bottom up to regain good soil for future uses) pour sand onto the area and mix it in. This will remove nutrients from the soil which is what many wildflowers like.
Then throw out your wildflower seeds which you need to press on afterwards (there are tools, but as a cheap method you can just walk over them), so that the wind doesn't blow them away. In the end water them (also for the next 2-4 weeks).

Yeah, especially if battery life is important as it will feature LPDDR4X-4266 support (0.6v instead of 1.2 and low power modes).

I think much of that will flow into their GPU department. They have the node advantage compared to Nvidia (TSMC 7nm vs. TSMC 12nm) but can only match Nvidia in power consumption and performance. Once Nvidia get's to 7nm with their new architecture they will increase the gap again (unless RDNA2 which is rumored for H1 2020 brings a big efficiency and performance improvement - and not only hardware accelerated RT).

You can use a steno mask so your voice doesn't disturbs others but also so that the voices from coworkers and other background noise doesn't disturb the speech-to-text software.
It would look funky though, and I've read from people having problems with their voice after an 8 hour day speaking software.

On youtube is a person who shows how to mod [0] a cheap midi keyboard for use as a steno device and also has videos showing how the typing on the michaela-midi looks [1].
There are automatic mechanical watches. Together with a watch winder you don't have to worry about winding your watch. But I guess there are none in sub 40mm? Haven't payed attention to the space in the last 15 years.
> Like other analog products that persist in a digital age (see vinyl, print media, and board games), much of the popularity of mechanical watches can be attributed to nostalgia.
In addition to that one of the other big reason is probably that expensive mechanical watches are a status symbol, and are also a decent investement. Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger-LeCoultre, A.Lange & Söhne etc. hold their value well or increase over time.
