Wondering what the people that were advising to wait for 50 series when 40s came out because nvidia hates even numbers and made the 40ies bad are thinking now.

40ies

I can't help but read this as "forty-ies" instead of "forties" 😂

I intentionally read 100s as "one hundreds" after I first noticed it many years ago. It bugs me, but I can't stop now.

No, that's the correct reading.

100s is 100 seconds

They could just buy 40's now? They are probably a little cheaper now as well?

I’m glad I went ahead and bought a 4080S a few months ago.
