  • napster, kazaa, limewire, audiogalaxy are the big ones I remember in the pre-torrent era

    hell I remember there were PCs at some kiosk at the mall that random folks had installed Napster on and a bunch of random folks had downloaded random stuff on.

    I burned so many audio CDs. Even if it was just to add one single new song, since one song could take like an bour or so to download before we got broadband.

    When mp3 cd players became a thing, that was a magical time. Before iPods and before the Creative Nomad, WAY cheaper, and some could even read CD-RWs.

    I even sold a few mix CDs, with nicely formatted printouts for the slim jewel cases.

    What an era.













  • I agree with your conclusion and I abhor Framework promoting either of these two projects.

    But the APU in the desktop has, I suspect, a real reason for having nonreplaceable RAM. If I understand correctly, they can’t achieve 8000 mt/s memory speed or the wider memory bus with replaceable RAM. And since that memory is shared with the GPU, that speed becomes important for gaming or other GPU tasks. Hence why 6400 mt/s seems to be the max memory speed for a lot of the zen5 desktop chips, at least in prebuilts

    I have that chip in my laptop (the “AI” Max Pro 395+) and I don’t ever use it for LLM shit. It’s a very performant and efficient CPU, and shockingly good for gaming too.

    So even tho I hate the “ai” branding it’s actually a very very good CPU and GPU
