I got an interesting scam attempt the other day which was very similar to the one described in this AT&T forum post: https://forums.att.com/conversations/wireless-account/call-f...

Seeing this now, it makes a lot of sense how the scammers would know to target me.

tl;dr is that some scammers knew I had an AT&T account, and called posing as some AT&T branch that could only speak Chinese (ostensibly serving NYC Chinatown). I think they're targeting 2nd-gen Chinese speakers and forcing them into likely broken Chinese to throw them off guard.

While yes, the bandwidth is certainly enough and comparable to fast (but not fastest) consumer-grade storage these days (2-3 GB/s), I'd be more concerned with latency issues as NVMe tends to have latency on the order of microseconds (so ~1/1000th that of a very low single-digit internet latency).

So did Pixel 1, 2, 3, and 4. It's a completely different product line/branding from (Nexus) 6P.

The landlord provides the option to live somewhere with significantly less time or financial commitment than would be required if buying. The number isn't the landlord's parasitic decision, it's just economics.

He's not saying he can't afford it. He's saying it's a lot of money. I'd imagine when you make minimum wage, it's a lot of money even if you can afford it.

I make typical FANG SWE income and I still consider it to be a lot..

Doing this at Facebook's scale is very much not "pretty simple".
