[1145.74 --> 1148.76] But, yeah, it's going to be a little bit, I think, before it's shipping.
[1148.76 --> 1150.42] And now it's called the Yellow, not the Amber.
[1150.82 --> 1154.48] Well, like anything this year, you know, I think you've just got to accept the fact that,
[1154.86 --> 1159.90] you know, for example, the 1080 Ti that I have in my graphics card in my gaming rig,
[1160.42 --> 1161.70] I'm fine with that.
[1161.78 --> 1167.10] I mean, if I could have bought a 3080 or whatever at retail for MSRP, I'd have probably done it.
[1167.22 --> 1173.14] But, you know, I think in 2021, we've just got to accept the fact, and 22 now, that these
[1173.14 --> 1174.36] shortages are going to continue.
[1174.36 --> 1180.00] I think I was watching a Jay's Two Cents video the other night where he was reciting some insider
[1180.00 --> 1186.74] information that he has from his contacts at Intel and NVIDIA, who said that the shortages at the end
[1186.74 --> 1188.98] of 20 were going to continue through 21.
[1189.64 --> 1191.68] And now they're saying the same thing at the end of 21.
[1191.78 --> 1193.24] They're going to continue through the end of 22.
[1193.62 --> 1195.66] So it is what it is.
[1195.76 --> 1198.26] We've all just got to end up being a bit more patient, I think.
[1198.26 --> 1202.48] Well, you know, there's a lot of negatives to it.
[1202.80 --> 1205.52] In the RV community, it's a massive problem.
[1205.76 --> 1207.64] Parts are super short.
[1208.02 --> 1214.08] And now there's rumors of a DEF, a diesel exhaust fluid shortage, which diesel pusher rigs need to
[1214.08 --> 1214.74] go down the road.
[1215.48 --> 1217.58] So like the shortages, I don't want to make light of it.
[1217.62 --> 1218.22] It's really bad.
[1218.84 --> 1224.40] However, one silver lining that I would love to see out of it is people repurposing old PCs.
[1224.64 --> 1225.52] Like I'm doing this.
[1225.52 --> 1226.06] Mm-hmm.
[1226.56 --> 1229.46] I'm kind of thinking like, how can I just sort of spread stuff out a little bit or take
[1229.46 --> 1234.46] advantage of stuff and instead of going with something new, trying to refurbish something
[1234.46 --> 1235.02] old.
[1235.14 --> 1238.28] And I think that's actually a good way for us to be thinking more and more.
[1238.44 --> 1238.60] Yeah.
[1238.66 --> 1244.18] I mean, all of the systems in my house are based around the eighth gen Intel CPU socket.
[1244.30 --> 1249.88] I've got, you know, my backup server, my desktop, my main server, and my work desktop.
[1250.04 --> 1254.52] They're all, you know, all four of those systems have, and my Blue Iris system, five.
[1254.52 --> 1261.02] All five of those systems have eighth gen CPUs in them so that if anything fails in there,
[1261.72 --> 1266.36] I don't even have to think, oh, what generation of CPU does that specific motherboard have?
[1266.44 --> 1267.30] No, it's eighth gen.
[1267.44 --> 1267.78] It's done.
[1268.30 --> 1271.68] And, you know, if you do the comparisons between an eighth and an eleventh or an eighth and
[1271.68 --> 1277.02] a twelfth, okay, by, you know, four generations, there might be 10 or 15% difference.
[1277.02 --> 1281.20] But is it worth the thousands of dollars to upgrade at this point?
[1281.56 --> 1282.04] No.
[1282.18 --> 1290.50] And I remember, you know, I remember like 10 years ago when I went from a Core 2 Duo to
[1290.50 --> 1295.16] one of those LGA 1366 i7 960s.
[1295.96 --> 1299.38] Oh, that was like, that was like lightning, that thing.
[1299.42 --> 1302.60] And I think it coincided with getting an SSD for the first time as well.
[1302.60 --> 1304.22] Oh, man.
[1304.68 --> 1305.70] Yeah, it's a sweet upgrade.
[1306.22 --> 1308.06] We just don't have leaps like that anymore.
[1308.20 --> 1313.72] I mean, I know NVMe is a lot faster than SATA and SSDs are a lot faster than spinning rust,
[1313.78 --> 1320.22] but I think a lot of the main speed generational bottlenecks between, you know, an eighth and
[1320.22 --> 1321.28] a twelfth gen CPU.
[1321.62 --> 1328.56] Okay, there's PCIe gen four is a slight change, but on the daily, I'm never really thinking,
[1328.56 --> 1330.72] God, my computer's too slow these days.
[1331.82 --> 1336.12] I think you're seeing kind of a big leap over in the Apple side right now.
[1336.42 --> 1338.48] And I was just thinking about this this morning, man.
[1338.50 --> 1343.36] I was just thinking, I'd really like the Asahi Linux project to just come along a little
[1343.36 --> 1347.72] bit more so that way I could try out the M1 Mac Mini as a home server in the RV.
[1348.16 --> 1352.36] Because the damn thing takes 28 watts at max load, and that's at max load.
[1352.36 --> 1358.04] And it takes a lot less down to like six or seven watts at low load, which is just, I
[1358.04 --> 1360.50] can't, I can't even fathom that.
[1360.66 --> 1363.76] I can't, I've seen the numbers and I still don't believe it.
[1364.54 --> 1367.42] And it makes for me like the perfect home server.
[1367.84 --> 1370.78] If they just, if I could just get Mac OS off there.
[1371.26 --> 1376.92] My MacBook Pro that I'm using to record this episode right now, according to iStat is using
[1376.92 --> 1382.40] eight watts to drive a 4K monitor, a 1080p monitor, and the laptop internal display,
[1382.60 --> 1387.22] plus all the USB audio processing that it's doing and eight watts.
[1388.42 --> 1390.44] So it's nice to see that kind of shift.
[1390.60 --> 1394.18] But yeah, as far as like gear I'm using for my home systems and servers right now.
[1394.68 --> 1397.18] Yeah, the older stuff is, is plenty, plenty fine.
[1397.52 --> 1401.62] I mean, I'm running, I'm still running Home Assistant on the Home Assistant Blue and on a
[1401.62 --> 1402.36] Raspberry Pi.
[1403.02 --> 1404.58] And I did do the new upgrade.
[1404.58 --> 1408.02] I did the, cause on the, on the blue, you know, I'm using their OS.
[1408.18 --> 1412.14] So now I've been upgraded to their new OS and to the new version of Home Assistant.
[1412.14 --> 1414.12] It's got that brand new configuration panel.
[1414.24 --> 1415.18] It looks a lot better.
[1415.44 --> 1415.60] Ugh.
[1415.96 --> 1416.74] I don't like it.
[1417.20 --> 1417.54] Really?
[1418.04 --> 1418.40] No.
[1418.74 --> 1419.44] I think it's cleaner.
[1419.66 --> 1420.62] You know, it's more organized.
[1420.72 --> 1424.52] It feels, I don't know, more like how it should have been probably all along.
[1425.22 --> 1425.52] Hmm.
[1425.64 --> 1426.04] Maybe.
[1426.30 --> 1429.64] But it's, you know, curmudgeon over here, it's change for change's sake.
[1429.64 --> 1434.02] It feels, you know, to get to my supervisor panel is an extra click now compared to what
[1434.02 --> 1434.58] it used to be.
[1435.06 --> 1435.36] True.
[1436.10 --> 1436.28] Yeah.
[1436.72 --> 1439.16] I did, I did see some grousing online about that.
[1439.46 --> 1440.48] I had to downgrade as well.
[1440.54 --> 1444.54] I had a bunch of my automations stop working, particularly around Zigbee stuff.
[1444.74 --> 1445.06] Oh no.
[1445.18 --> 1450.10] So I actually, I went to .12, .0, I guess.
[1451.56 --> 1453.52] And then I upgraded to .1.
[1454.42 --> 1455.86] The Zigbee stuff still wasn't working.
[1455.98 --> 1457.76] So I was like, right, I'm going back to .11 then.
[1458.44 --> 1460.70] So there I will stay for a little while and see what happens.
[1462.50 --> 1462.86] Crap.
