Well, you see, Jane, when Netflix was $6 a month, nearly everyone stopped buying DVDs, and most slowed way down on piracy. Then, as Netflix grew greedier and decided to start its own production studio, it doubled the prices of its plans, limited its family plan to exclude college kids, and added ads to its cheapest plans. Then all the streaming companies started fighting for titles, and you can no longer figure out who streams your favorite shows. But most of the local places to buy DVDs are gone. So Piracy picked back up in a big way, and the server stores all the shows we watch on our phones and TVs.

"NOTE: This book was produced as a promotional item by Microsoft and HP."

[–] Canuck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

I was wondering why it said Windows Home Server lol

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

Oh, remember the strange era when Microsoft was selling private home servers?

[–] Damage@feddit.it 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nah Microsoft sells cloud services

[–] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago

Yeah, except my quote is real, and it was actually made as a promotional item by Microsoft and HP

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I laughed so hard at this. I'm glad a few others here get it. Lemmy is a cool place.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 7 points 2 days ago

You can actually buy the book 😂

I love it when memes are real

[–] BladeFederation@piefed.social 14 points 2 days ago

don't let your memes be dreams

Can't relate PC hardware got way to expensive.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My decade old hardware does what it needs to do. Alternatively, get an Odroid device. Relatively cheap SBCs you can use to host a host of services.

Regular performance really has improved so very little in the past decade, it's just been a focus on GPUs and power efficiency.

[–] fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I defintely has improved a lot since Amd became competitive with Intel.

[–] MoffKalast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I guess the first Ryzen was technically only 9 years ago, and sure there the X3D is kind of a leap but that's still resulted in comparatively marginal gains compared to what happened in the previous 10 years where it was easily a 5x delta. Meanwhile Intel is just cramming more and more E cores into things and pretending they're doing better.

For the average person I really doubt CPU speed from 10 years ago or today makes all that much difference if both systems run from an NVMe.

[–] fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure you can run a perfectly useable machine from 10 years ago but there is a massive difference in performance between an ryzen 9600 based system and an ryzen 1600 system. I do agree with you that performance increase are nowhere as fast as it used to be. But we were also stuck with 4 core intel cpu's for a decade before that.

[–] MoffKalast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Well if you believe the benchmarks it's about a 2x gain in pure compute, but only about 1.5x in actual speed when you consider cache and other bottlenecks. The X3D is similarly 2x as fast but adds another 25% on top of that given better cache locality. The transistor size density delta of 14 to 4nm would make me expect more of a 3-4x raw speed difference.

[–] fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sure the increase isn't as massive as it was but it is definetly a very noticeable increase in performance if you come fro m a 6700k but if you are running an Amd 5800 or an intel 12700, the performance increase is not worth the money.

Lmfao I thought it was a meme but it’s real

[–] chicocheco@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Ngl, that makes us two, haha

[–] MoffKalast@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wait what, it's real? And from 2007?

Dammit, Amazon has no preview for it. I bet each page of it is meme worthy.

Lmaoooo, the book of personal attacks.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 8 points 2 days ago

They had me up to Windows Home Server. I don't think I want one of those. It sounds dangerous, I wouldn't let that in my house.

Can't link because of lemmy.world TOS, but if you DDG the title the second result is a direct .pdf link on archive.org.
