I assumed it was housing.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/5533vs3904vs4922/Apple-M2-Ultra-24-Core-vs-Intel-i9-11900K-vs-Apple-M2-8-Core-3500-MHz

Benchmarks are of course just benchmarks, but the single-core performance is better for the M2, and the range-topping M2 is about 2x faster than the i9.

Also, regardless of how something compares, if it is ever memory-bandwidth bound, then faster RAM should help. While most tasks may be CPU or IO bound, AFAIK there can still easily be memory bound tasks in real-world workloads.

I picked the i9-11900k for comparison since I think that was the last one to only support DDR4 (making it "DDR4 era"). Ryzen maybe faster in the DDR4 era though?

"It's more performant than the old SODIMM sticks, vastly more efficient, it saves space, and it should even help with thermals as well. All that, and it's still about as repairable as anything we've ever seen," iFixit concluded.

Yes, there was a perfectly fine, upgradable memory standard before. And many 486s were also perfectly fine, upgradable computers.

The fact that a new technology makes it so we can have our cake and eat it too

upgradability without any compromise

is a fantastic innovation.

I used to be older than my little brother.

I still am, but I used to, too.

Acoustic doesn't have a top tube...

To be clear, most science/advanced education in the US is conducted in SI units.

Also, a year is about pi*10^7 seconds, which can be useful for back-of-the-envelopes.

Someone else pointed out Tailscale; I've had luck with free tier VPS+WireGuard.

I have an Oracle one which has worked well. Downside is I did link my CC, because my account was getting deactivated due to inactivity (even using it as a VPN and nginx proxy for my self hosting wasn't enough to keep it "active"). But I stay below the free allowance, so it doesn't cost.

That said: as far as anonymity goes, it's not the right tool. And I fully appreciate the irony of trying to self-host to get away from large corporations owning my data...and relying on Oracle to do so. But you can get a static IP and VPS for free, so that's something.

But they're not necessarily cheaper to operate. The efficiency gains aren't enough to offset the high price of electricity compared to gas, at least where I am (California/PG&E).

Not a problem for many people, but for those on the edge, a more expensive heating bill is a problem.

Disclaimer is that I don't know if rebates/discounts for using electric heating would make it cheaper than gas, but talking to friends, it ends up being slightly more expensive to keep the house warm.

Just heard back from them

apparently there was a part failure, and it will be going back to normal (white day, red night).
