Amazon, Walmart and streaming services will be the winners here. I understand the convenience of streaming, but having the tech giants control what you see and hear is very short-sighted.

Thanks, but has anyone reviewed this command file that the short script executes? I don't have the 30-60 minutes to make sure that doesn't open a port or download something dangerous. It's either sketchy or they didn't host it on github for code review, because MS owns github (although why not...

You will be justified to know that the House (and soon Senate/President) reauthorized spying on Americans through warrantless FISA searches. Maybe you should think again about that mentality. Even if stolen, the police don't care about your $1500 phone, anyway.

Roughly coincides with the stimulus checks.

Lol's erek's title has me thinking "Hulk smash." Thanks for the entertainment. ;) Wow 61TB - hopefully they get the costs down. 25W for a hard drive is cooking.

intel has decades of technical expertise and billions in infrastructure that couldn't be replicated overnight, even if their patents were open source. Each chip and lith-tech is also more than one idea. Forget about patents - you're not building YOUR idea, because you don't have the tens of...

Doublespeak.

They do - physical media.

Same way China gets around our restrictions. Build a plant in Mexico (BYD), sell to US.

Realized that the chips said "Taiwan" and guessed right that the VSA-100 were made by TMSC. Kind of interesting that TMSC outlived 3Dfx and also manufactured NVidia's chips at the time - which is now the #3 largest company in the world. Wonder if they will outlive Nvidia? Also, I never knew...

The FX series may have been a hairdryer, but it was competitive with the ATi 9800 Pro's at the time. FX was better if you used AA. https://hothardware.com/reviews/ati-256mb-radeon-9800-pro-vs-geforce-fx-5900-ultra?page=2 For the record, I owned the ATi card. Whatever offers the best...

How much is it? I have some tough word processing to do.

I agree and I doubt that's true. Anything is better than flushing billions a dollar a day on inefficient wind/solar. We would have so much more money to devote to developing fusion or improving wind/solar efficiency, than putting the cart before the horse.

Tesla was once valued at more than most car makers - combined. They were also something like 1000x their P/E. It made no sense. Irrational optimism will take a stock a long way. AI is just getting started. I went to two bank websites today and instead of searching, the search was replaced with...

Drastic node leaps seems like it's destined for failure. Didn't they try that a few years ago? Seems like you would learn something important at each level, as electrons get closer together. intel needs to work their employees 24/7 like TSMC.
