Well, you see, Jane, when Netflix was $6 a month, nearly everyone stopped buying DVDs, and most slowed way down on piracy. Then, as Netflix grew greedier and decided to start its own production studio, it doubled the prices of its plans, limited its family plan to exclude college kids, and added ads to its cheapest plans. Then all the streaming companies started fighting for titles, and you can no longer figure out who streams your favorite shows. But most of the local places to buy DVDs are gone. So Piracy picked back up in a big way, and the server stores all the shows we watch on our phones and TVs.

"NOTE: This book was produced as a promotional item by Microsoft and HP."

I was wondering why it said Windows Home Server lol

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

Oh, remember the strange era when Microsoft was selling private home servers?

[–] Damage@feddit.it 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah Microsoft sells cloud services

Yeah, except my quote is real, and it was actually made as a promotional item by Microsoft and HP

I laughed so hard at this. I'm glad a few others here get it. Lemmy is a cool place.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 9 points 1 day ago

You can actually buy the book 😂

Can't relate PC hardware got way to expensive.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

My decade old hardware does what it needs to do. Alternatively, get an Odroid device. Relatively cheap SBCs you can use to host a host of services.

Regular performance really has improved so very little in the past decade, it's just been a focus on GPUs and power efficiency.

[–] fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I defintely has improved a lot since Amd became competitive with Intel.

I guess the first Ryzen was technically only 9 years ago, and sure there the X3D is kind of a leap but that's still resulted in comparatively marginal gains compared to what happened in the previous 10 years where it was easily a 5x delta. Meanwhile Intel is just cramming more and more E cores into things and pretending they're doing better.

For the average person I really doubt CPU speed from 10 years ago or today makes all that much difference if both systems run from an NVMe.

[–] fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Sure you can run a perfectly useable machine from 10 years ago but there is a massive difference in performance between an ryzen 9600 based system and an ryzen 1600 system. I do agree with you that performance increase are nowhere as fast as it used to be. But we were also stuck with 4 core intel cpu's for a decade before that.

I love it when memes are real

Lmfao I thought it was a meme but it’s real

[–] chicocheco@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Ngl, that makes us two, haha

[–] MoffKalast@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait what, it's real? And from 2007?

Dammit, Amazon has no preview for it. I bet each page of it is meme worthy.

Lmaoooo, the book of personal attacks.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 12 points 1 day ago

They had me up to Windows Home Server. I don't think I want one of those. It sounds dangerous, I wouldn't let that in my house.

Can't link because of lemmy.world TOS, but if you DDG the title the second result is a direct .pdf link on archive.org.
