True, but these are workstation cards, they're for GPGPU workloads or Rendering workstations for pro artist. You'd rarely if ever find them in a gaming PC (too expensive with no real benefit for gaming workloads).
There are other uses, too. AMD makes low profile (?) radeon pro cards like the WX2100 which are smaller and have lower power requirements than their consumer offerings. I got a used one off eBay for my tower, mostly because I wanted something AMD for linux usage with as low heat emission as possible, but honestly I really like the look of that blue too :) Even if I have a black boxy case with no fancy windows or anyt…
You might get some bargains on ebay for sure.
But straight up it would make no sense for a non professional workload. You could get a AMD 5500 XT 4GB GDDR6 (WX2100 is 2GB GDDR5) for a similar ball park in price with 5x the bandwidth and a lot more graphical horse power for a gaming workload. And if heat is the concern it would be trivial to underclock and undervolt to get it quite chilly.
You may have some special situation and have got a great deal but for the most part they should be of little interest to standard consumers.

#93Is this ok? >Yttrium is mostly dangerous in the working environment, due to the fact that damps and gasses can be inhaled with air. This can cause lung embolisms, especially during long-term exposure. Yttrium can also cause cancer with humans, as it enlarges the chances of lung cancer when it is inhaled. >Indium compounds are encountered rarely by most people. All indium compounds should be regarded as highly toxic.…
Isn't indium used everywhere in solder as a less toxic replacement for lead?
AFAIK only in specialised low-temp solder, like the one sold by Chip-Quik to desolder sensitive components.

#95These people really didnt think about how people are going to pronounce their pigment? YInMn - what a monster of a name. In the olden days at least people gave colors great names that were easy to prounounce and provided them personality. Ultramarine, prussian blue.. Even vantablack has a nice rhythm. It's nice as techinical name, I guess, but I'd hope they have some better brand name they are going by.
One of the videos in the article has it as Yin Min.

#96This is an area that I know absolutely nothing about, so the notion that new pigments are being created is fascinating to me. I’ve never really considered pigments and the chemicals used to make all of these colors.
Check out this timeline of pigments through the ages. See how the industrial revolution multiplied the number of colors available.

It is not? I had at least 2 years of organic chemistry at high school (Czechia).
In Germany it's 1 year of the final 2 year Chemistry elective, where most people instead choose Biology or Physics (and I think if you are on a language focused path you might not even have to do one of them).
It depends on the state level, but I believe in most (if not all?) you need to take at least one year of anorganic and one year of organic chemistry

I don't think that is a very good example. A better example would be is there a safe compound with lead or arsenic or mercury (known toxic elements) you would want to take into your body?
Organic chemistry should probably be made mandatory as part of high school science education like physics. Parent looks like Exhibit A for anti-thiomersal hysteria.
One of the things I learnt in actual chemistry classes was that organomercury compounds actually tend to be really toxic compared to elemental mercury. Unfortunately, there's been a fair amount of misinformation spread about this online in the name of fighting anti-vaxxers, often involving misleading analogues with stuff like chlorine and sodium.

Just google "mercury amalgam cancer".
Just google "vaccine autism" - what's the difference?
theirs is based in scientific knowledge, yours is based in ignorance of that knowledge
"molecules are not the same as elements"
now repeat it with me

Mercury amalgam (silver, tin, zinc, copper, etc) fillings.
There is a strong correlation between incidence of mercury amalgam and alzheimer's. Obviously correlation is not causation, but I'd still be wary of putting mercury in my body...
No there isn’t a correlation. Maybe you are thinking aluminum? Even then the data is weak.
Mercury salts are corrosive, organomercury compounds are highly neurotoxic and elemental mercury is relatively non-toxic if ingested.
The form of the element matters a lot.
