Not a shitpost, just a lukewarm take.

Fuck MichaelSlop

Are you pointing to a price-performance degradation or a measurable degradation on hardware with all other factors controlled? The latter doesn’t exist.

All the SEO slop that appears similar to your link (that I’m definitely not clicking) are for PC builders and nobody is making these outrageous claims for server builders.

There are workloads that demand a higher memory-to-compute ratio than others. Web server? Throw them a bone sure. But they mainly want computing power. Big database? Can’t have enough, and can’t have them fast enough. Especially when a single index can be multiple gigabytes big.

They accelerate emerging standards like USB 4 and UMA that’s being used by other parties now.

I am no fanboy but I can’t point to hardware or privacy-centric innovations from any other FAANG without Apple’s involvement.

I’ve just started blocking SEO slop while using ddg on my main computer. Makes my life easier if it’s just DigitalOcean blogs rather than geeksforgeeks or linuxvox. The latter being full-on ai slop. At least DO/Vultr/whatever actually bothers with content quality because it’s their PaaS.

In most societies of recorded history, the end of human civilisation isn’t celebrated. Imma buck that trend.
