@straw @p Yeah, I ended up with a massive AMD monoculture in my LAN.

Workstation? AMD
Laptop? AMD
NAS? AMD
Router? Well okay not AMD but probably will be (PC Engine APU2).

Heck, I think even the CPU in my SunPCI card is AMD.

@lanodan @p I've only had a weak Athlon, however I am planning to build an AMD server, and buy AMD devices in the future. my only devices currently are two ARM boards, an old i5-6400 PC, and my i7-3xxx ThinkPad which I love very much, but I don't like how it's Intel...

@straw @p I have some ARM boards but they're more like dust catchers than anything else.
And current router is based on a Qualcomm mips32.

I just hate dealing with embeddeds and there isn't that many alternative platforms out there which aren't (sparc64 is roughly dead and anything ppc64 costs a fucking limb).

@lanodan @p @straw When you consider how much money gamer bros dump into LED riddled computer gear, going for something like a Raptor Blackbird isn’t too much of a stretch beyond that.

@Hyolobrika @wrongthink @p @lanodan I'd regret buying such a system tbh, as I do now with my red Lenovo gamer PC

@straw @wrongthink @p @Hyolobrika Yeah, don't buy anything with Gaming™ or related in it's branding, it's almost always going to be unreliable crap.
