Many years ago, a founder/CEO friend of mine caught his CFO embezzling from him for also $1M.  The thief was ordered to pay restitution of that $1M.  My friend told me he'll never see that money again.  With the thief fired, jailed, and now released he couldn't get a job anywhere.  My friend get's a sporadic check for $20 every few months but that's about it.  Last thing I heard, the thief moved back to his home country of the Philippines and disappear like a fart in the wind.

A tenant in my building was moving out, and one of the security cameras in the common stairwell has been tampered with and turned so that it pointed directly at a wall.  One of the movers had purposely swiveled the camera away from an area that in my opinion, might have been used to open the tenants' boxes to possibly steal something during the trip down to the truck.

Hi all,
Just an amateur question.
Thunderbolt 3/4 is compatible to carry PCIe of what specification or lower at this moment?
And is Thunderbolt 3/4 capable of carrying this new PCIe 6.0 specification at this moment hardware-wise, or needs some better hardware like Thunderbolt 5 in the future?
And also the same question with Apple M1 CPU architecture able to handle PCIe 6.0 hardware-wise, just with software tweaks, or need to wait for new and better Apple CPU of the future?
Just interested.
Thanks.

The current Thunderbolt spec provides 40gb/s bandwidth.  While fast, it's still far below PCIe 3.0 max of 32GB/s.  I don't see a time where Thunderbolt will be at the same speed as the native PCIe bus.  

The PCIe 6.0 specification I think will be geared more for servers than for consumer PC's.  It involves some pretty expensive tech, and motherboard fabrication to handle those high speeds which is why it will be limited to servers, render-farms, etc..

Since when is 32 faster than 40?

Since you conveniently left out certain notations that explain it, I'll clarify it this one time for you.

This is human stupidity at its finest.  The selfish, moronic, conspiracy-loving anti-vaxxers are putting people's live at risk.  They are just too stupid and ignorant to accept it.  I'm all for personal choice and keeping the government out of my body, but what's it going to take to get these people to understand that COVID is here to stay until they get vaccinated?!
