We replaced our vm hosts recently with AMD ones - literally half the price with a lot more performance.

Xeon’s always led the pack for enterprise hardware, but no longer. Confidence in Intel has been dropping for a while.

I’d like to agree with you, but I don’t think there are fixed periods where stopping something turns it from being addiction into habit.

Addiction is an inability to stop using a substance or engaging in a behavior even though it may cause psychological or physical harm.

I think porn can come within that definition, just as much as smoking or drinking can be called a habit.

And some frankly bonkers ideas about what real sex is like.

But when I think about my youth in pre-internet days, when you relied on a trucker flinging his jazz mag into the bushes and being lucky enough to find it before the slugs, I’m not sure learning about real sex was any easier then.
