    Apple Mac Studio and Studio Display

    This just isn't true at all. Most monitors have limited color gamut and nothing in the world will change that. A colorimeter can only go so far. Don't get me wrong: I won't be buying one of these monitors. But someone who does professional color grading at a studio would just chuckle at this.

    Tesla owner blows up his Model S with dynamite over $22,000 battery replacement

    Just a hunch here: this whole stunt was paid for (handsomely) by a competing car manufacturer.

    TSMC to prioritize production of chips for cars, not your next graphics card

    The industry is appreciative for your insightful advice, as are world governments. Your informed guidance could lead the way out of this. We are all so incredibly thankful.

    NVIDIA CEO: GPU Shortage Will Continue Throughout 2022

    Agreed 1000%. We better join up w/Japan to defend Taiwan. Aside from the sheer economic, strategic mayhem it would cause, we need to make it clear to China that free people cannot be gobbled up.

    Intel introduces new high-performance graphics brand: Arc

    True, if they want to use top 7nm or 5nm parts. But Intel could impose reasonable prices on their channel partners, and win market share (and good will) in doing so. (If they so wished)

    Intel introduces new high-performance graphics brand: Arc

    LOL..."Battlemage, Celestial and Druid" They might as well go all the way for the gamer market...with a series of Darth cards. Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, etc.

    Right to repair executive order

    Of course Rossmann has a vested interest. Duh! His videos are good marketing. While marketing he has become an agent for a common-sense proposition that 99% of Americans can agree upon, but won't fight for. Without his voice we would be the worse. Similarly his videos on New York blight are...

    Right to repair executive order

    Yup...and then they'll use faux-law to silence people like Rossmann. The elites will say, "You got what you wanted, now shut yo mouth." As you say...this might only make things worse. Reality? Rossmann and the movement might have gained nothing but sand and lies. Just more gamesmanship and...

    Right to repair executive order

    Yes and I hope this is one of those times. How this will actually impact corporate practices remains to be seen. I don't want to be skeptical, but I am 80% dubious at this point that this will end up w/the results we would assume from the announcements. Love Louis Rossmann!

    US Senate approves massive $52B spend on easing the chip shortage

    A sure supply of chips are, certainly. But this swamp money was unnecessary to achieve the goal. But hey, if the government is baililng out Jeff Bezos "Blue Origin" with untold billions...what other filthy rich corp/person should we lather up in sticky cash?

    US Senate approves massive $52B spend on easing the chip shortage

    Maybe from the news I've been tracking every week or two? It's right in my backyard.Originally the plant was going to be for 7nm chips. In the past month or so the plans explicitly switched to 5nm chips. Conflating the cost of the fab and the financial incentives to bring that here...two...

    Jeff Bezos to Shoot Himself Into Space

    I see them as complete opposite entities on the planet. Bezos is a snake who hasn't invented a thing. Musk has brought positive benefit to planet and humanity. And he's hella fun.

    US Senate approves massive $52B spend on easing the chip shortage

    TSMC is building a plant 3 miles away from me here in Arizona. Pricetag: 7 billion$. Not $10bil, not $20bil, not $30bil. They had already announced a second plant in the state. This happened before this bill. Without this bill. Intel and TSMC are swimming in profits and available cash. While...

    Apple M2 enters mass production

    Apple years in advance from TSMC, and due to iPhone/iPad purchases they are TSMC's biggest customer. While they aren't impervious to chip shortages, Apple is impacted them less than other players.

    AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su Discusses Chip Shortage and Xilinx Acquisition

    Teens and wannabes might want to pass on this... But ask any business: Is it good if your production is strong, delivered sales are way, way up...yet you still have lines of customers beating down your doors to buy your products? Ask this business: is this good? I'm still laughing at anyone...
