  • The article says:

    When I listen to my interview audio, I find an additional hint from Griffais: “We intend for it to be positioned closer to the entry level of the PC space, but to be very competitive with a PC you could build yourself from parts.”

    Poking around the web, I find I could probably assemble a computer with this performance for $800, not including labor. But it could easily consume half the room under my TV. A compact system with a similar GPU can cost $1,000 without storage, memory, operating system, or a gamepad.

    Which makes it reasonable to assume it's gonna be at least within that price range. And that is personally way too much for me.

  • I hope this succeeds, but personally I'd rather have a less powerful machine at a more affordable price point.

    I suppose Technotronic's Pump Up the Jam is now more well-known again as a running joke in Philomene Cunk's show. In a similar vein, there's The Immortals' Techno Syndrome, better known as "Mortal Kombat". But these are both English, of course.

    As for songs in our local languages, on the Dutch side Gorki's Mia always ranks highly (but I'm not sure how much you get from it without understanding the lyrics) while Laïs' rendition of 't Smidje has some weird international appeal. On the French side there's several strong hits like the entire discography of Stromae, Plastic Betrand's Ça Plane Pour Moi, or Eurovision-winning Sandra Kim's J'aime La Vie.

    1. Immortality
    2. Shapeshifting
    3. The ability to look at something and immediately know what it is and what it's worth (would make flea market and thrift store visits a lot more efficient)
  • Personally, I try not to swear even when I stub my toe… but it's quite difficult sometimes. When I do swear, I want it to be a deliberate decision.
