It crashed hard and it crashed fast after a prolonged period of unsustainable growth. Is that not a bubble?

But it is being used for train

It's absolutely nothing like that, my dude. There's no extra service being provided. The product has been manufactured and purchased. It'd be like buying a drill only to find out that you have to pay a fee to use the drill bits you already own, or buying a block of wood and being told that you have to pay the seller money to use the tools you already own to make it into whatever you're building.
There was one a while ago, back when mining on GPUs was still viable. I wanna say the GTX 1000 series was still in vogue at the time.
Man, 10 years ago I would have been kinda interested in this. But now? Yeah no, give me root or give me death.
If it's anything like the crypto bubble from a couple years ago, then yeah. eBay should be flooded with used RAM and GPUs.
It took me a solid half-dozen tries not to pronounce it "mid-leend." After that much effort, I decided to let my dumb brain win and go with it.
Holy FUCK YES. I had to switch to Gnome because the framerate difference was giving me a headache.
The best (worst) example I've seen in recent memory has been seat warmers. BMW and other manufacturers tried forcing a subscription on people just to use the seat warmers that are (1) already present in the car, (2) already wired up with buttons in place, and (3) cause no additional outlay of effort on the part of the manufacturer once they're installed. There's no valid reason to charge a subscription for something like that beyond straight greed.
I can't remember what the actual voicemail was about, but back in the early days of Google Voice, my dad left me one that got transcribed as "Hi, [name], I have the murder."
