How obvious is it that it's a bot?

Sure looks like he's claiming that the team has been reduced from 4 to 1, not the 11 to 1 claimed above, and one was for customer support? Not to say it's insignificant, but doesn't sound like the train-smash originally portrayed.

My i5-4690 and i7-4770 machines remain competitive to this day, even with spectre patches in place. I saw no reason to 'upgrade' to 6/7/8th gen CPUs.

I'm looking for a new desktop now, but for the costs involved I might just end up parting together a HP Z6 G4 with server surplus cpu/ram. The costs of going to 11th+ desktop Intel don't seem worth it.

I'm going to look at the more recent AMD offerings, but I'm not sure they'll compete with surplus server kit.

I used to think so too, but I've got an Intel box where I have to turn hardware offload off in order to not have networking 'crashes' (complete with kernel dump data) that take out my networking for 5-15sec. Chip is i218-LM r05.

I've never had an issue with my i210 and x550 chips, but this 218 is super frustrating.

The original Rosetta, which was emulating PPC on x86 is directly comparable to the situation of PS3-game-on-PS4 hardware. I was able to play Halo CE for Mac on x86 with Rosetta and it felt native.

The point is that this isn't a limitation of technology, this was a decision on Sony's part.

Xbox One plays a number of 360 games fine.

Apple used QuickTransit for their PPC apps on Intel migration to great success.

I guess Sony just didn't want to pay the emulator tax?

My last year of uni I was broke. The previous year the parking passes had red letters, that year purple. That was the only difference. The colour. I traced over all the letters of my previous parking pass with a blue sharpie and parked for free all year.

Because building non renewable power doesn't have a carbon cost right? And buying a petrol powered car doesn't have a carbon cost, right?

I'm talking about my commute. The carbon cost of driving to work from my home.

Don't strawman if you want your argument to be taken seriously - because what I read above translates to Crying neckbeard meme

My job is within 10mi of my home. If I walk there, I get there in 2 hours. If I take public transportation, it takes me 1h45m to 2h20m depending on the day.

I also live in a community where our electricity is from 90% renewable resources, 10% nuclear. Switching to an electric car is a 100% reduction in carbon usage for my commute. Using the bus isn't.
