It is 2990WX, W means workstation. It is MEANT for Linux and workstation only. Any researcher with a tiny bit of self-respect would not use a consumer version of Windows 10 for workstation level work. Just saying.
That is so not true. Aren't you a bit too old and serious for this kind of Windows rasism?
Then, oh so wise guy, please explain me the following: Why on earth even today software is shipped being compiled with such compilers while featuring given flags?
I'd love a proper discussion about compiling!
Can you please give an example of what you're talking about? ;-)
That AIO looks just like a crude DIY solution. And it costs 399 usd, you can build a custom loop with the same price.
Which brings us the question: why would you want to make a custom loop?
Intel organized a "recommended" AIO so that OEMs wouldn't have to bother. I don't think companies like Dell or Lenovo have ever made a water-cooled system in a desktop tower case. Now they have a guarantee that a sufficient AIO exists.
Illusion of choice especially applies household appliances... most, save a few Korean imports, are fabricated in the same manufacturing facilities (which have mostly moved to Mexico relatively recently in the last few years) with trims and name plates being the biggest differences.
Actually he lives in NL, so it's quite unlikely that all of household appliances he can buy are made in Mexico.
Please, try to remember that there exists some civilization outside North America.
Other that that you have a point. Most of popular appliances are made in the same factories. But:
a) nameplates are not the only difference, because there are still different technologies (IP) and materials involved. So 2 fridges may look almost the same, but their performance and expected lifetime may be vastly different.
b) what we're talking about applies to almost everything manufactured today. Household appliances are by no means special. Think about electronics, car parts, food.
Still working, knockon wood
