There are automatic mechanical watches. Together with a watch winder you don't have to worry about winding your watch. But I guess there are none in sub 40mm? Haven't payed attention to the space in the last 15 years.

An auto-winding mechanical watch still winds down if you put it down and leave it still.

For those not aware, a “watch winder” is a motorized device that you strap your watch onto, which rotates the watch to auto-wind it when you’re not wearing it… an accessory you don’t need to buy for quartz watch.
Maybe I'm missing something, but the prices look bad for what is offered. Why would you use them over say a managed server, for example from Hetzner [0] or Netcup [1]?
Could also be a bit of both. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's mainly Samsung giving Nvidia a great deal. For years it's all over town that Samsung seems to have the best wafer prices in the industry.
Yes, 1 or 2 years ago I saw a short piece about recycling plastics and what really is getting recycled in the end. Many products which would be easy to recycle didn't get recycled because they had fancy labels on them which made it hard or impossible for the machines which resulted in the plastics getting burned instead.
If I remember correctly you have to redistribute some .dll (VC something) file alongside your .exe on Windows since fresh Windows installations don't have the .dll. Did that change?
With those machines it's more comfortable then the spade method [0], especially if the area is larger. After the sod is removed (you can put it on the compost with the bottom up to regain good soil for future uses) pour sand onto the area and mix it in. This will remove nutrients from the soil which is what many wildflowers like.
Then throw out your wildflower seeds which you need to press on afterwards (there are tools, but as a cheap method you can just walk over them), so that the wind doesn't blow them away. In the end water them (also for the next 2-4 weeks).
I think much of that will flow into their GPU department. They have the node advantage compared to Nvidia (TSMC 7nm vs. TSMC 12nm) but can only match Nvidia in power consumption and performance. Once Nvidia get's to 7nm with their new architecture they will increase the gap again (unless RDNA2 which is rumored for H1 2020 brings a big efficiency and performance improvement - and not only hardware accelerated RT).
