npub1jvrgz7wf9fwftcqppnpyjplltlkcuwghc0pqf9wv3x8ds5zq5t4qmh8tkt (npub1jvr…8tkt) I've never really been into phones, but it seems to be a problem with a lot of tech.
I have an interest in graphics cards, and some companies used to do some W E I R D stuff. Not like "Look where we stuffed RGB now!" weird, but like the GTX 295 where they did a dual GPU card by sandwiching a heatsink between two whole graphics card PCBs.
Or the GRID K1 where they put 4x GT640's on one PCB.
Or the time Asus made a dual-GPU card out of GTX 760s.
Or when Zotac made a PCIe x1 version of the GT 710.
Or the wireless 400-series (500-series?) card that had antennas instead of HDMI ports.
Felt a little bit like no one was quite sure what the right way to build hardware was, and there were some moments where someone went "Let's just try something".
Now everything with the same chip runs about the same and has about the same form factor. And while it's much better, it's all kinda the same.
