I don't know where you are looking, but I don't see new 2080 Ti's anywhere for close to that price. The cheapest one on Amazon is $1,169. However, 2080s are in the $700-800 range.
As long as they keep the price reasonable, I am fine with it based upon the amount of effort placed into it. To me it wouldn't be any different of a comparison to say me going back and playing Civ 5 or 6 again once a DLC is released. Those DLCs cost more money and yet I keep going back even...
Those who own the original "Sniper Elite V2" from 2012 can buy the game as an "upgrade," for just $9.99.
Based upon everything that they did within this remaster, I think this is a good deal. The game has replayability, I just still have a backlog of games to get to before I get back to this...
It isn't a matter of Heather deciding she wants to go back to AMD and them opening a positition. It isn't a matter of AMD reserving the spot for Heather.
What happens all the time is a positition becomes available (whatever X amount of years later) and then someone from AMD reaches out to...
This is a possibility. I was an early adopter of Vista and had zero issues as a home user/gamer. Granted I did two things that many others did not; I gave it lots of memory (8GB at the time, when everyone else was using 2 or 4GB) and I didn't run any legacy software on it.
Careful or people here will start to think you wear tin foil hats. Not that I care anyways, perhaps you dont either. What people don't know, they dont know. Some people choose not to know or even consider the possibility which would lead them to knowing. Each to their own.
I believe that this and more money are the two primary reasons of the exodus. Most people will always do what is best for their career. Also, they all know that this isn't a permanent move; they can always come back to AMD 8 years later because it's nothing personal.
Interesting. If this true (which I do not doubt), I stand corrected. I never looked into it much, but I did know that I hated it because it performed like crap. This was added insult because my employer purchased expensive NUCs with SATA SSDs for "optane" when it could have just bought NVMe...
No. Cloud is indeed understood (as a whole) that it is external computing services and storage provided by external businesses. Yes, you can set up your servers to perform as a self-serving, on-premises cloud, but that does not redefine what we refer to as the cloud.
I prefer sleek, matte black monitors without obtuse angles. The thickness makes no difference to me either; it is not like it can even compare with the depth of a CRT. Absolutely no RGBs!
You could also use FreeFileSync, create a script to run daily via Task Scheduler to do this automatically at whatever interval you like such as daily or weekly. It is a truly free program, doesn't look archaic and is updated often.
