Hell we’re even seeing this with modern tech like phones and even hardware now. Look at every iPhone in the last 10 years for example, they’re petty much all identical (and I say this as an iPhone user). Also looking at graphics cards as another example, the difference in power between the 40 series and 50 series is nowhere near the jumps from previous models. But it’s more profitable to sell the same thing and pretend it’s new and improved than it is to actually drastically improve something or try something new.
We are jumping ahead so far in tech it's insane. I have 14 years of experience in hardware engineering and another 10 in swe.
This is a simple locking mechanism. Flick elbow, it catches on a lever. Basic engineering.
Most amputees would not be tending bar lol, it's an exhibition.
My grandfather lost an arm at 16. He didn't need his arm because he went to college and designed roads, he had a payout in the 1950s from a workers comp. He was able to go to school.
No one blocked this patent, it just wasn't practical. My grandfather felt uncomfortable with his prosthetics, and he learned how to function without it, he only wore them for formal photos or when he wanted to freak people out, pranking then with a hook.
Which was pointless. We knew the arm was plastic, and we knew the hook was coming.
You are wildly incorrect. No 50 series card has reached 60% improvement over its 40 series counterpart without multiframe gen. I wouldn’t even care had you not said that stay in your lane shit to just blatantly lie.
Improvement in what metrics??? Playing bullshit video games, processing large amounts of data, or building LLMs, hosting?
Why is one 5k vs 1k?
The market?
Why is it hard for consumers to get them?
My HDMI input on my xbox broke, so I took a bareboned dell 3060 mini tower with an i9 MB, put a 6gb GPU, with 64 gb of ram and a 1tb SSD in it. It plays xbox, steam, emulators, streaming services etc.
It has no faceplate, and I call it the shitbox. The fact that yhe case folds open is one of its cooling tricks, I use.
I will challenge you to a battle. Your whatever vs. the Shitbox.

This is the saddest thing I've read today. Because it's 100% true. Greed is to blame for stagnant tech development
