Might that be most useful on the 5070 w/12 gb?

"the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D, priced at $599.99 and $699.99, respectively." Got the order wrong, twice - 1st & 3rd paragraphs.

Very nice, but overkill. How about 6K at 1800R in OLED.

All this snark is amusing. Simple truth - Elon builds the Model-T of rockets, the Falcon 9, which will fly more times in '23 than the rest of the world combined (including the U.S.), with 1st stages recovered routinely. The most reliable rocket in history, with lower prices & the most profit...

"replacing the air inside the hard drive with helium" - Helium is notoriously hard to contain. Is it still helium after 2-3 years?
