   I have 384TB of ECC DDR4 across two blades with 4 CPUs for a combined core count of 96.

   It powers a fully populated 192 disk solid state SAN.

   I was told it was old and in need of replacing, but apparently now it’s worth more than the GDP of the UK.

   Can’t afford to run it (or hear my thoughts when in the vicinity)… but I can sit atop it like a fucking dragon.

   And I will.

     @adrianww @SecurityWriter You mean just before? When it bursts it'll be worthless due to liquidation of AI companies flooding the market.

     @SecurityWriter Blimey! The system requirements for running MS Office are just getting ridiculous aren't they? 😁

     Also, when the AI bubble bursts, the 32GB of ECC DRAM in my ancient Mac Pro will probably be worth more than the entire stock market.
