So not as cheap as the (inflation adjusted) PS2 ($550) or PS4 ($540), but cheaper than the $780 of the PS3. PS1 was close at $620.
Also games back in 1995 were around $50, which is $103 today.

I would assume the small amount of training data written that way doesn't contain that many professional research papers, corporate emails or calm poetry, but would consist mostly of social media posts and comments which have a rather heavy bias towards aggressive and negative.

Why would anyone need a 24TB HDD?
Because in the time we have gone from 4GB SD cards to 4TB cards, movies have gone from being 700MB to 70Gb, and games from coming on a few cds or dvds to requiring a mountain of them - Baldurs Gate 1 came on 5 CDs, BG3 would require around 200 of them.

That 4TB card has only space for 26 games, if they are as large as BG3.

It's going back to the roots, just in an extremely twisted way - I'm old enough to remember when Reddit was just a link aggregator. You put your stuff on your own site/blog/forum (remember those?), and linked to that from reddit.
People could then upvote and comment on it on reddit, but the idea of posting something there directly was ridiculous - how could anything be found later when it would get buried under the new stuff in a few hours, and bumping isn't a thing at all?

Fuck reddit and social media, I want my forums back :(
Also my back hurts, music these days is terrible, and the 90s' were just a decade ago or so.

I remember being jealous of a classmate of mine in the early 00's that got the new book as a gift every year as they always had these really flashy covers with sparkly holograms and stuff.

Sure. But the IPv6 implementation is a bit like if we went "you know the y2038 problem of 32 bit numbers, and how goin under 1970 is sometimes hard? Lets solve it by making it start from the big bang and store time as a 256 bit integer so we don't run out until year 3.1 x 10^69".

IPv6 is big enough for 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 unique addresses. Are we expecting to create an universe consuming army of exponentially replicating paper clip converting robots that each need an IPv6 address or something?

IPv6 is big enough to give 10 billion unique addresses for every grain of sand on earth and still have some left over. Just in case we need to, I guess.

Which is doubly funny when you remember Elon claimed at one point the Cybertruck could be used as a boat.

There is a soundcard in the bluetooth headphones and wires are dirt cheap, it's not about that. Proper lightning headphones require getting your product certified by apple ($$$) and a special apple chip added in ($$$) because iPhones refuse to connect to devices that aren't.
But they will connect to all bluetooth devices.

Hm. I would be interested to learn why, exactly. If it has terrible methodology, why is it constantly referenced and why hasn't a better one been done since then?
Or is there a better one that nobody just uses?
And how should the data look, because most of every other source I can find also agrees that beef is the worst (or possibly on the second spot after lamb) as it comes to CO2 per kg.

First step: just eat less beef.

Even that alone is enough to make a quite decent impact.
