Wait. UE is an engine. A game should use an engine, not the other way around. What am I missing here?

Anyone know where I can actually get my hands on a B580 for non-scalped prices? I’ve been monitoring multiple sites for months and either it hasn’t come up or get snatched up in minutes

We did it 1,500 miles across multiple states. Also when we ordered new servers we ordered fully built and cabled racks, shipped from HP in Juarez to our doors in giant crates, 52U high, fully cabled. Unpack, plug in power and uplinks and the entire rack was ready to go. We were getting like 2-3 of those a week.

Funny thing is, I’ve relocated DCs too and we did the opposite. We had rolling racks and we wrapped the entire rack with everything still in it and did a padded wrap with anti-tip indicators.

The biggest thing to watch out for was we used a temperature controlled truck to ensure there wasn’t a swing in humidity or temps to cause condensation and then let the racks sit in the new locations for 24 hours before power on

Moving 85 racks with literally hundreds of disks and we only lost 4 disks over the next 6 months which was in line with our normal failure rate. No need to tear down and re-rack.

“You got a 1kW PSU for your rig? Nah, just for the proc”

I know these aren’t for home, but in the US you’re gonna start seeing the need for dedicated breakers. A lot of apartments skimped and put in 10-15 amp breakers, which can (safely) support 960-1440 watts. A 20 amp breaker can do 1,900 watts at least, but again that’s usually for an entire room. Not just a single device.

That last one isn’t entirely true. I have a portable monitor that does DP-Alt over USB-C and it is powered and driven via a single cable.

Right where my mind went

DP is royalty free. Why are they looking for “yet another standard”

That’s a non-sequeter. You started by saying that internet on cars were bad and then switched to “you should be using bikes”

I think I mentioned it in another post but Schwaticars are a bit different. Though I’d assume they’d have to have some basic functionality in the event of an outage. “Always on” hasn’t come to cars… yet

Again though, they are all quality of life things. You don’t have to use it on most cars. Don’t want it, don’t pay for it and don’t use it. So just like giving people the choice of AA/CP, what’s wrong with giving them the choice of using those features?

I mean, what’s the alternative? It’s not like it has to have internet. Anything internet connected is mainly quality of life:

• Traffic
• Remote (app) features
• Music

Except maybe Teslas, damned if I know what they do. But they’re nice to have things that generally require realtime updates but the car functions just fine as a car without it.

Something else that people don’t think about besides the backend server is the connectivity. A lot of these cars use LTE with eSIMs that can’t be replaced, and getting an internet package for it will be next to impossible since Tesla gets them at bulk rates. Once upon a time cars did allow “bring your own SIM cards” but not anymore. Also as cars get older the cell networks get shut down. Some companies did offer upgrades but that was few and far between. Most just said “sorry, you’re SOL”.

So even if you could hack your car, your car won’t have any way of talking to a custom endpoint.
