My raspberry pi was running for 3 years until my mother in law was having trouble connecting to the home VPN last month. She lives abroad but wants to watch BBC iPlayer stuff. Turned out an update had nuked her user settings, so I rebooted it for nothing.

It’s a bucket trowel, essentially a brick/block trowel that’s been cut down on an angle to get the last bits out of the bucket.
It’s literally my most used tool. I use it to mix, to lay out mortar for fixing stone, to skim coat the backs of tiles and veneer stone, levering stones up slightly to put more mortar in the bed, scratching my ass/back/legs, and I even occasionally cut myself on it accidentally!

Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026English
5·8 days agoUnfortunately the ones used in AI data centers aren’t useful for gaming. So yeah, probably could buy one for ⅓ the price of new, but couldn’t use it for gaming and likely still wouldn’t be able to afford it because of:
NVIDIA H200 (Blackwell architecture) – The latest flagship (late 2023), with upgraded ~141 GB HBM3e and other Hopper improvements. It provides ~50% performance uplift over H100 in many tasks on the same power envelope. Pricing is said to be only modestly above H100. For instance, a 4-GPU H200 SXM board is listed at about $170K (versus $110K for 4×H100) ([2]) ([20]). A single H200 (NVL version) is quoted at around $31,000–32,000 ([21]). NVIDIA’s data center system NVDIMMs for H200 (DGX B200) reflect these prices, though bulk deals may apply.
