Yeh, do: 60fps, 30 bit color... and I guess HDR?
Do things that people can actually appreciate.
And do them in the way that utilises the new tech. 60fps looks completely different from 24fps... Work with that, it's a new media format. Express your talent

I love cli and config files, so I can write some scripts to automate it all.
It documents itself.
Whenever I have to do GUI stuff I always forget a step or do things out of order or something.
What the fuck is a french fry? You mean Freedom Fries?
Writing reports is hard? Fuck paper work? Policing used to be easier?
Great, the reports are written for you and the paper work is done for you.
You are still fucking liable for their contents, as you are (or should be) for your actions.
Recorded and written reports are the backbone of accountability.
Don't want to get fucked by the legal system because you have neglected your duties? Don't neglect your duties. Do the reporting, do the paper work.
Using LLM in such reports should be equivalent of perjury. Use LLMs to create bullet points, turn that into a draft (or just submit the bullet points, because someone is likely to feed the report back into an LLM to turn it into bullet points).
But know that you are (or should be) accountable for every last word on that report!
Pretty much any mikrotik is a fantastic piece of kit to have.
It is so unbelievably versatile.
I love the various mikrotik routers, switches and APs I have. I use them all the time for little ad-hoc networks and projects and stuff.
You will learn a lot about networking when using them.
But Unifi is a hell of a lot easier to use, and I have not found anything I can't do on unifi (but I don't do bgp, mlag, etc at home).
Pretty sure all ram manufacturers are Korean? I guess China puts chips on PCBs, maybe? But South Korea has the knowledge .
And it had met domestic demand. RAM prices have been acceptable for many many years.
It's the AI sector that is inflating demand (maybe by circular investment and contracts).
So, I don't see anyone investing 10 years into the future to make ddr6 ram where their business plan relies on current trends.
It must take so much R&D to achieve anything remotely comparable to what Samsung, Micron (/Crucial... RIP) and SK Hynix can produce.
Fingers crossed they can either undercut the 3(now 2) big producers, which is doubtful. But hopefully they can help reduce the maximum price that decent memory can inflate to. Because at some point a medium sized customer is gonna get fed up of the Samsung/micron/skHynix bullshit, and custom order the ram they need, and such a smaller producer will provide a much better service for a similar price
Only for multi CPU mobos (and that would be pinning a thread to a CPU/core with NUMA enabled where a task accessed local ram instead of all system ram). Even then, I think all ram would run at the lowest frequency.
I've never mixed CPUs and RAM speeds. I've only ever worked on systems with matching CPUs and ram modules.
I think the hardware cost and software complexity to achieve this is beyond the cost of "more ram" or "faster storage (for faster swap)"
Oh, and on the "fail often" thing...
Get a basic/old/free pc/laptop and install Proxmox on it.
Loads of tutorials out there, but the basic installer will get you to a "I'm learning" stage.
Create a VM, install Debian, play around.
Then: create a new VM, install Debian, create a snapshot, play around until it does what you want, restore the snapshot, do the steps that got you from vanilla to what you want. Create snapshots along the way as checkpoints. Snapshot, tinker, restore snapshot, advance.
Proxmox is amazing for learning VMs and server things

My takeaway is that it isn't unfeasible. We already have satellites that do a couple kilowatts, so a cluster of them might make sense. In isolation, it makes sense.
But there is launch cost, and the fact that de-orbiting/de-commissioning is a write-off, and the fact that preferred orbits (lots of sun) will very quickly become unavailable.
So there is kinda a graph where you get the preferred orbit, your efficiency is good enough, your launch costs are low enough.
But it's junk.
It's literally investing in junk.
There is no way this is a legitimate investment.
It has a finite life, regardless of how you stretch your tech. At some point, it can't stay in orbit.
It's AI. There is no way humans are in a position to lock in 4 years of hardware.
It's satellites. There are so many factors outside of our control that (beyond launch orbit success), that there is a massive failure rate.
It's rockets. They are controlled explosives with 1 shot to get it right. Again, massive failure rate.
It just doesn't make sense.
It's feasible. I'm sure humanity would learn a lot. AI is not a good use of kilowatts of power in space. AI is not a good use of the finite resource of earth to launch satellites (never mind a million?!). AI is not a good reason to pullute the "good" bits of LEO
