        Dell Premier Business actually and their servers aren’t bad.

        Their service and support however are absolutely worthless.

            Longer than 30 years I assure you.

            I buy HPE where I can, but “stop buying their shit” isn’t in any company guidelines and even people like me who dictate what the company buys ends up dealing with Dell and Lenovo server dogshit systems from other vendors.

            Literally unavoidable.

          We used to have dell workstations at work and they were terrible. At one point we wanted to remove the heat sink on one of the systems because it was full of dust and was overheating, doing this was made virtually impossible by the placement of the screws. I assume Dell made the computer they had access to transdimensional screwdriver that can phase through matter.

    I should do a kickstarter for a wifi connected butt plug that starts vibrating anytime a major AI providers system goes offline.

    Had a paid version for a while dediced to cancel and was offered three months for half the price that while being more than zero is half of what I paid earlier.

    Once it dies will shop around or get a free model to toy with locally.

      Don’t know how much you’re into AI models, but if you’re looking for one to play with locally, a couple open-source and open-weight ones that come to mind are one of DeepSeek’s, or Mistral AI.

      Some people say you can buy the tokens instead of a monthly subscription. They’re not as openly offered as they get more cash from monthly obviously.
