It’s reviewing very well.
Having worked from Europe for a US tech company, that’s the norm. I had about 15 Americans reporting into me and I required them all to take a minimum of 20 days off. Most of them found this confusing at first, like it was a trap or something, and I had to insist. My peers in leadership in the US could not understand how my employee retention was so good.
Nvidia’s equivalent (DIGITS) is $2,999.
Looking at the others in the ultra-SFFPC market segment they’re targeting (e.g. Mac Mini, Intel NUC, Nvidia DIGITS) this is a solid first outing.
It’s a standard ITX mainboard that happens to have soldered ram. It will fit in any ITX-compatible case and even has dedicated PCI-e slot in case you do use a case with space for a PCI-e device like an SFP+ card.
On the upside, the unified ram means the GPU can use it, and so you could run 70b-size models on it.
Thunder has experimental support for it. You’ll also need a unifiedpush distributor installed. F-Droid has a good explainer on UnifiedPush at https://f-droid.org/2022/12/18/unifiedpush.html
I don’t know whether it’s the case here (it’s the biggest sale of the year regardless), but often game developers will have licenses for some of the content in the game (music, most often), and when those licenses are soon expiring they do a fire sale on it. The previous Forza Horizon game comes to mind.
Game prices haven’t followed inflation because the market kept growing so fast that they made it up on gross revenue. That’s coming to an end (hence the post-lockdown market contraction and layoffs), so expect prices to go up by at least $10 every generation from now on.
