Chip stocks just suffered one of their ugliest stretches on record, and a political shift in Washington may be to blame. History offers a surprising clue about what happens next, but a November 17 earnings report could rewrite it.
I’ve built mobos, I’ve added RAM to devices without expansion slots, and I’ve recovered data from smashed cellphones by extracting the flash memory. I’ve used GPUs with broken DVI/HDMI/VGA by passing the framebuffer over a <1ms 10 gbps link.
It’s doable. If I can get a b200 you better believe I’ll find a way to use it.
Great, you are one of the very few people with the knowledge and technology to perform such task, but this will not scale. I never said that people like you don’t exist, just that it makes no meaningful difference.
It will help you, it will help a few people around you, but not the million or even billion of humans who wait for hardware at the moment.
You, and a army of people with the skillset and hardware like yours, would need to work more or less for month or years to repurpose all the hardware for it to make a change.
Won’t scale? Where’s your imagination! I’ll hire people.
And, I’m not smart, and I don’t have any unique skills. On the contrary I have several mental issues and a low IQ. If I can do it, 60% of the population can.
Sounds good, unfortunately will the price for such a repurposed hardware way to high for most people to buy. Producing things by hand is expansive, mostly because of the low output over time, so either you sell it way below production costs or nearly nobody will be able to buy it. That’s why I said that it will not scale.
Even more so in a time after a huge financial collapse and with the turmoil that will follow when the current bubble burst.
And in regards of the determination: People have often times just other things on their mind or to do and/or can’t allocate resources (time, money, brain power) to learn the needed skills to do this.
That’s why we have created a system of specialized jobs after all.
This is only true if you want it to be.

Sweet, easy money.

All they lack is determination.
