The F16/ to turkey was quid pro quo for Turkey to let ~~Finland~~ Sweden into nato. Which of course made the Greeks unhappy, so we sold them weapons so they weren’t unhappy and could defend against Turkish aggression. It also makes them a more capable ally.

Excel is, almost certainly, the single most important and influential piece of software in almost every business.

Excel can do anything, including so many things it shouldn’t.

I don’t think the kids pay you to clean up their puke or blowouts.

It’s probably more about aggressive default bios speeds. Tweak your c states / bios overclocking / pcie power management / windows power management features. Idle power has gone down on most chips.

The Ryzen 3000 should truly idle closer to 20-30w.

If you have multiple GPUs in your home server you’re probably doing it wrong. But even then, at idle, with no displays connected, the draw will be surprisingly low.

Most systems with some ssd/NVMe, 2-4 DIMMs and maybe a drive or two should idle closer to 50w-60w.

Go tweak your power and fan settings. 100w at idle is way too much unless it’s 15 years old.

Fans, especially small ones are very sneaky energy hogs. Turn them waaay down.

Good, they weren’t doing a great job. Maybe Google is going to move this in house.

They cut supply in like September. They were all fighting for market share still, largely driven by Samsung, hence the low prices.

Server shipments were way down because everyone overbought in 2021/2022.

The NAND market has always been an antitrust shit show.

They also drastically cut supply.

BA, agree, AF, not a chance. La Premiere is much much nicer than even qsuites. LH is somewhat plane dependent, but the FCT is fun.

AA first has been a joke for a long time. It was an ever so slightly better seat and they served one extra course - a soup - but was otherwise identical to business class service. You can’t charge thousands more for soup.

First class has been dying for years - and the only airlines that will do it, it’s really a prestige thing more than a profit center.
