After catching up on the NVIDIA 5090 news, playing a video game in Nothern California, it would cost you 30-50 cents an hour purely just from a power perspective. 🙃

The fact that this default feed on BlueSky can just be done... and I don't come back for it like some thirsty animal looking for more stuff thrown at me, is so refreshing.

Converted an old iMac 27" to a display for a friend. Used the R1811 board, and kept the power supply outside as to not deal with internal heat issues. It's not perfect, but all the ports are accessible and it is a very affordable 5K display that looks great from the front.
