    Wait til all these projects crash, burn, and get liquidated. Gonna be an amazing secondary market for brand new, unused bulk hardware.

        I think people don’t realise that if AI fails, it’s pretty much guaranteed to collapse the US economy.

      Yes, of course

      Except, i doubt anyone will be doing much with a 32 code Xenon CPU Windows snobs cant even run Windows on without a super giga 1000€ license for more than 16 Core CPUs

      And the cuda only fanless and outputless GPU will also be kinda useless, especially because they all need a special setup to force feed air through the entire rack to not overheat

        I’m not using Windows servers at home but if I did then a license wouldn’t be a factor when deciding what hardware to buy.

          And on top: ROK ISOs by hardware vendors by HPE (and probably lenovo) don’t have the trial time limit and can be run indefinitely without a license.
          You only need to satisfy the requirement of running a supported motherboard during boot of the iso.
          Well…Too bad that I can (unlike in ESXi) modify the manufacturer string in proxmox to say whatever I want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              At work we sell servers by HPE.
              We create Install-ISOs from the included install ISO.

              At boot the Installer checks if the system is manufactured by the vendor.
              If it is: It continues boot and offers you the installer options
              If it is not: It will fail with a message that the manufacturer doesnt match.

              On ESXi you need to pass the argument smbios.reflectHost = true (or something along those lines)

              Dunno how HPE customized the install.wim
              But you can probably get those for cheap on ebay and maybe compare the wims for differences.
