Presuming you mean 4x 2560x1440 there, you can have close enough to that pixel count today; one of the things Dell released at CES this year was a 52" 6144x2560 display (U5226KW).
Since it’s intended to be a monitor, you get a USB hub, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, and other things you wouldn’t get on a TV, too.
I’ve been looking at it longingly, but I can’t quite justify that pricetag right now.
Next time they (unnecessarily) reboot The Italian Job I can see this fitting right in.
Also Lenovo, who were the first ones to give than nonsense a whirl (X1 Carbon Gen 2, 2014).
Lenovo’s was present for just that single generation. Apple kept it for 6 generations over 7 years. Dell 4 generations, 3 years.
Can’t say I’ll miss any of them.
For anyone - including, apparently, this article’s author’s - who is confused about the form factor, this is the next generation to follow the Grace Blackwell “GB300-NVL72”, their full rack interconnected system.
It’s the same technology as the matching 8-GPU “HGX” board that is built into larger individual servers - which in this generation’s case is just called “B300” as it has the “Blackwell” GPU but not the “Grace” CPU - but not sold in smaller units than an entire rack.
Here are some pictures and a video of that NVL72 version (you can buy these from Dell and others, as well as direct from Nvidia):

The full rack has 18 compute trays, each with 2 of the pictured board inside (for a total of 36 CPUs and 72 GPUs), and 9 NVLink switch trays that connect every GPU together. PSUs and networking make up the rest.
I’ve always heard this as
“the two hardest problems in computer science are naming variables, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors”
Yours is a nice subtle variant, I like it.
Thanks for the heads-up, added the internet archive torrent to seed up to 25MB/s
In ours, the coolant is referred to as “PG25” (distilled water with 25% propylene glycol, plus corrosion inhibitors and other additives). It’s widely available, and pre-mixed so it just gets poured straight in.
Your problem is going to be quantity. it might be cheaper per unit, but buying less than a 200 litre drum (if not a 1000 litre IBC) will prove to be a challenge.
I’d suggest a rethink, honestly.
Also did baking the cupcakes use more or less energy than ChatGPT used to order them?
Assuming you’re not talking about this article’s 7.68TB drive and not the mentioned 61.44TB one, actually far less than you’d think.
Solidigm’s equivalent (https://www.solidigm.com/products/data-center/d7/ps1010.html) goes for between $1000 and $1500 USD for the same 7.68TB capacity: https://www.serversupply.com/SSD/NVMe/7.68TB/SOLIDIGM/SB5PH27X076T001_394195.htm
(And performs similarly, 14.5GB/s R / 10GB/s W, vs 14.6/11 for the one in the article).
Reticulated gas is charged by the kWh here in New Zealand. The meter may well be calibrated in m³ (I don’t have gas at home, so I don’t know for sure) but all pricing is energy, not volume.
For bonus points, if instead you buy your gas in cylinders - a pair of 45kg (~100lb) cylinders is a common installation for houses without piped gas - those are sold simply by the unit. The best conversion for that I can find is one energy retailer describing one 45kg cylinder as 2200MJ (611kWh).
I expect this is one of those things that is overall horribly inconsistent depending on where you live.
Comparing the amount of noise my laptop’s CPU fans make between the two of them when doing moderately intensive tasks like screen sharing a 4K display, Zoom is measurably worse.
Possibly the one time that Microsoft’s inexplicable inability to make their own software run well on their own OS has somehow not manifested.
Don’t get me wrong, it is still death-by-a-thousand-cuts terrible, but the most current iteration of Teams is not the worst in its field… at this one specific thing.
Even for devices that will stand the test of time on their own, they’re still being unnecessarily modified by the addition of extra nonsense to support AI boondoggles.
I was talking to our company’s account manager from one major PC manufacturer, he agreed that a generation of laptops with a likely-to-be-useless-in-future Copilot button permanently emblazoned on their keyboard will really date this era.
The computers themselves will be fine - they have some extraneous hardware but that doesn’t really detract from their usability - but there’s a better than even chance that logo will exist as a reminder long after memories of what it was supposedly for begin to fade.
You might have to consider buying used.
Even older HP printers are fine (and I know people love to shit on them, but they too used to be perfectly safe and reasonable choices). More or less the safe/unsafe divide coincides with the switch from printers with 2x16 character displays to ones with full colour screens.
I’ve got a 2012-designed (but mine is 2017-built) HP Colour Laserjet CP5225dn, it has none of the modern lock-in shenanigans.
Just gotta find one that’s new enough that consumables are still readily available (fortunately this usually isn’t too difficult), and in good physical condition.
I feel like this opinion piece from last week really captures his essence
The website also shows a large unpopulated section of PCB near the network jack with “PoE” silkscreened:

PoE built in could make this a very interesting device indeed.
It sounds like you’re thinking of LoRa, another 900MHz radio protocol.
LoRa has similar bandwidth to Zigbee (125kbps), and as you say is designed for low-power devices running on battery. I have PIR motion sensors at home which have used only around a third of their battery after 2 years.
Security cameras seems to be a large target market for HaLow though, where you need a couple of megabits at a few hundred metres.
DVDs didn’t have that issue, fortunately.
In CDs, the recorded layer is directly under the label, in DVDs it’s mid-way through the thickness of the disc so there’s a layer of plastic between it and the label. A function of different wavelengths of light used to read them.
Bit rot due to degradation of the organic chemicals in the recording layer is still very much a concern though.
