My current boss says that any downtime counts because the services are supposed to work together and a single outage affects user experience. I like your approach of "if it's not fully down it doesn't count, fuck the users" better.
Yes, and that's with 40-hour week capitalism in reality.
We're talking about a fantasy world where increased worker productivity would lead to decreased hours. In said fantasy world. There's no reason for the total salary to decrease just because hours worked did.
Economics 101 is like physics 101. It absolutely works (assume no friction, assume perfect knowledge, assume all mass is in a single point, assume rational actors, assume assume assume)
So would we ban posting Dilbert comics because Adams went wacko when he got older? Do we ban artists from the 50s because some of them were racist, even if we're not posting those ones?
I think it makes sense to not allow hateful and bigoted comics, for sure. And that rule would get rid of jago.
I love the idea of stupidly fancy decanters. But I'm always worried they're just rife with lead. If anyone knows of a safe but silly decanter company, please share.
A lot of that will be dictated by your budget. I would start with PC part picker.
General recommendation is that, if you can, get a GPU with 16 gigs of memory and have 32 on the OS. That will help future proof the device so you're not having the same conversation in a few years.
For CPU, amd typically keeps their socket longer than intel. This is your upgrade potential. AM5 is the latest AMD socket. You can be guaranteed at least a couple more releases of CPUs on that socket over the next few years to upgrade to.
The downside is that PC parts are very expensive right now. That's why the gabecube isn't out. So if you're budget constrained, use PC part picker to balance your options.
Fiber is important, and will fuck you up if you're not used to it.
