  • as a person who works in that industry pretty much. the only people buying singles are people who do it internally else its sold on bulk because the money gets split between the ecycler and the company who originally owns the product.

    outside of having less processing to deal with per order, a company buying things in bulk is less critical about the condition of a product than an individual end user.

    hence why Mention the titles a bit sensationalist.

    its using a gpu company that rarely does it, for the first time in awhile in a very specific way, as that’s not the title of the thread that OP links.

    the idea of a laptop dgpu isnt new

    the idea of a removable laptop dgpu(mxm)

    the idea of a removable nvidia laptop dgpu isnt new(same as above, also asus rog flow attachable gpus)

    the idea of a slottable gpu isnt new (frameworks 7700s came before it)

    its the combination of the above which is pigeonholing the definition hard enough that it really doesnt have any real merit.









  • to be fair, the drive in question is a NAS drive, which is not a backup drive by its intended default usecase, unless you slapped it in a nas thats stored as a cloud storage in an offsite location.

    its just a matter of people understanding that data redundancy is not a backup, just a level of data safeguard, as it only partially covers some of the forms of data loss and not all of them (e.g not immune to physical methods of data loss like fires, floods and stuff)
