14A process ..... wait, why the number 14? I think I've heard that number and intel in the same sentence before.

Now this is what I call real advancement. We better count on Phison to innovate something competitive to counter this. Samsung holds its own against all others. There is still a lot of room left to improve SSD controllers, and until that war is waged, it's time to behold the 10th generation of...

What I see is a FAILED company, Intel, trying to resurrect itself, when the true course of action; the absolute ideal that would lead to a better future, is for someone else to REPLACE Intel fully, and let new blood into the industry. Instead, I guess investors and government want to support...

The repo obliteration aspect is nothing more than evidence concealment. Now we can't track down who pushed what updates and actually installed the backdoor.

What really needs to happen are benchmark tests, including real video games and AI processing, that compare BIOS version 4006 to the latest version, and see if/when any performance drops occur due to a BIOS revision, perhaps something security related.

Russian government in charge of the games. Wow that sure sounds fun for gamers.

Oh come on, I know that. I'm not here to shit on the modder just to be mean, but even so, I'm not going to line up and say the cliche. Someone ought to point out the naked emperor.

This would have been a bit more impressive before 2020, but at this point, I'd rather see an RTX 3090's VRAM doubled. This doesn't produce anything that you can't already buy.

One tech company I've grown to appreciate is Startech.com. They make a lot of stuff that's great for older computers, but they also stay in the modern era too, which keeps them relevant. Two other companies worthy of mention are Syntech and Sintech. Completely different, but both make some...

I didn't mind playing through Fallout 4 recently, but on the other hand, I AM moving to Boston this year, so I just did it for cultural reasons. Temporary move at least. My darkest, saddest prediction is that Bethesda is dead. I saw recently that even Magic The Gathering is doing some Fallout...

Although I'm sure Nvidia is a good stock, my friend ended up investing into Shin Etsu Chemical, due to their upstream utility to everything Nvidia and TSMC does. Doesn't look quite as "fun," but I'm sure there will be no value lost at least.

Back when I used Linus, (and maybe I still do), I made sure to specifically make my browser footprint appear to be the most popular browser and version of Windows at the time.

Because it's just like what I implied! HDMI Forum is doing more than merely "protecting their IP." They're creating scheming deals and corrupt contracts to stifle competition and prevent us from buying things that we actually want. It would be easy to say, "Then just buy or MAKE a big-screen TV...

Either we as a civilization choose to have law that protects this sort of "Best way known way to process data" IP, or law that does not allow intellectual property of this nature to be kept exclusive or secret. It really depends on how important it is for any random company to be able to compete...

I'm not an expert on the details, but I hear that even among CPUs, it is true that only Intel and AMD are *allowed* to produce x86 CPUs. Something about that seems fishy, and needs to be said, and this context is as good as any. However, that implies that Intel is the one preventing...
