Obviously they have, it’s just very few and far between.

It’s a bit silly to bring up royal families and pretend their lifestyles are similar to that of the common man.

Look at this map and tell me the issue is European culture.

An unfortunate aspect of Pakistani culture that has carried over to the UK.

Families would marry within the family to keep their wealth within the family.

Unfortunately after successive generations, this can cause serious problems.

Unfortunately most of the GPUs aren’t usable by gamers. We aren’t talking mining booms where miners buy up gaming GPU stock, then sell cheap when the bubble bursts.

We’re talking companies buying huge GPUs that don’t have video outputs and have an altered software stack to what’s used for gaming, missing all kinds of features and game specific patches.

Granted, many 4090/5090s were also used, and those will be usable by gamers, but even with a significant price drop on those, only richer gamers will find that to be viable.

Somewhat similar story for memory - a lot of it is tied up in HBM, or as GDDR on enterprise graphics cards.

Thinking gay and trans people should have human rights does not mean you must be fine with child labour.

That’s probably because you’re a piece of shit.

Are you serious? Of course people should care if people are using their power and influence to strip certain people of their rights.

It’s nice seeing an open source, modular laptop where it appears they actually tried to make it usable, rather than being the size of a large briefcase and weighing 5kg.
