Don't look at the "For you" curated feed. If you only look at the "Following" feed and you follow sane, smart people, then your experience on X will be much better.
i have tried that multiple times. the algorithm is sneaky af. slowly and steadily it starts pushing ragebaiting posts to you even if you dont intend to. eventually one fine day you open your account and boom, we are back to fighting over inconsequential stuff
1. The risk, when you use a competitor's service, of your competitor cutting off service, especially at an inopportune time (like your service undergoing a major disruption, where cutting off your OOBM would be kicking you while you are down, but such is business).
2. The risk that you and your competitor unknowingly share a common dependency, like utility lines; if the common dependency fails then both you and your OOBM are offline.
The whole point of paying for and maintaining an OOBM is to manage and compensate for the risks of disruption to your main infrastructure. Why would you knowingly add risks you can't control for on top of a framework meant to help you manage risk? It misses the point of why you have the OOBM in the first place.
Maybe 10-15 years ago there was a local Rogers outage that would have had the #2 failure you're describing. From what I recall, SaskTel had a big bundle of about 3,000 twisted pairs running under a park. Some of those went to a SaskTel tower, some to SaskTel residential wireline customers and some of those went to a Rogers facility. Along comes a backhoe and slices through the entire bundle.
My kid sleeps with some kind of white/brown noise since being around 2 years old. The child psychologist we went to with, now, the 6 year old recommended us to try to eliminate the noise. She seems to need it to fall asleep, but around midnight it should be easier, but we still have ups and downs with it. The psychologist said that it is a kind of a strain for the nervous system as it is kept being stimulated (at least that's how I understood and tried to translate it to English).
Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman covered some science behind exposure to white noise during development/using white noise machines with babies in his episode "The Science of Hearing, Balance & Accelerated Learning". Its nuanced, but he says there is some evidence it can be detrimental to a baby's brain/auditory system if used for long periods of time. https://youtu.be/JVRyzYB9JSY?t=3351
So long as it is 75 dB SPL or softer in intensity, you should be fine. You may want to consider acclimating your baby to be able to tolerate sleeping without the machine or with the machine at a softer volume. This can help set better sleeping habits in the long term.
AMD has the best iGPUs available, which (unlike Intel's) are actually fast enough to play a lot of games. They're also significantly more power efficient as a result of 7nm. For any use where this is fast enough -- and this is a huge percentage of the PC market -- nVidia has no answer to this.
AMD is the only option for a performant GPU with reasonable open source drivers. Intel has the drivers but they don't currently offer discrete GPUs at all. nVidia doesn't have the drivers.
AMD makes it a lot easier to do GPU virtualization.
AMD GPUs are used in basically all modern game consoles, so games that run on both are often better optimized for them.
They also have the best price/performance in the ~$300 range, which is the sweet spot for discrete GPUs.
