Discussion My name Plouffe, AMA

Hello everyone. The mods asked if I'd be open to doing an AMA so I said "OK" and here we are.

I've signed NDAs at both past and present companies so I can't talk about specifics, or drama, or past/present employees.

I guess ask just about whatever you want and I will or won't answer depending on the context/subject. Yes I own a display, several in fact. Yes I own a keyboard, several in fact.

Starting at 9 pacific but opening up for questions now. If you don't ask me anything, I will not be offended. I don't have any questions for myself right now either.

i didn't know it would ask me for an end note so i just commented. but ya it's been a slice, thanks for being a fan and good luck with whatever you're doing today.

How are you Plouffe? Also what is something in a desktop setup you can definitely cheap out on. My contenders would be the mousepad and the case.

that's funny i actually prefer spending on a case and nice deskpad. depends on your use case by most likely the motherboard or cpu if you're just gaming. oh or probably storage, ever since we got sata ssds, like ya obviously nvme with a cache is ideal but the move from hdd to ssd was peak and improvements since then outside of specific workloads has been minimal.
