Intel needs to improve their fabs quickly, irrespective of Trump. Apple could assign a minor chip to Intel with a three year contract, to appease Trump, but unless Intel improves, then Apple would fail to renew if Trump has left office.

Apple was once in a bad place and got money from Bill Gates, but since turned around. Maybe this is Intel’s turn, but they need more than money. They need good leadership and shareholders who aren’t looking for a short term fix.

I think the relationship is potentially more like that of Samsung where they are both competitor in one segment and supplier in another.

I’d imagine an “Intel Manufacturing” division being a supplier, while an “Intel Design” division being a competitor. If “Intel Manufacturing” got their shit together, then they could be a viable supplier. As for “Intel Design”, they’d need to accept that the writing is on the wall for the x86 architecture, unless they do something radicle. When you have ARM chips running x86 apps as if they were native, then you have something that should be sounding alarm bells.

Right now Intel feels like Boeing and just being a poor competitor due too much focus on short term profits and not enough on long term growth.

At this point, it may not matter, due the damage he’ll have caused. Also, there are a number of people who believe he’ll try to avoid an election in 2028. I don’t want to believe that, but given how much of Project 2025 is apparently being realised, I’m not sure.

I don’t think Apple would say “screw power consumption”, given its history and that it was one reason for moving from PowerPC to Intel.

Apple is a priority customer for TSMC and I believe Apple has likely been organised and signed contracts ensuring that they keep those slots.

Intel needs to work out how TSMC is able to improve its fab process at such a high pace, while Intel seems to be failing to do so. Aren’t both companies getting their lithograph machines from ASML?

Wasn’t Intel exploring splitting fab and split design parts of the business at some point? No idea what happened to that strategy?

The only notes he'd be taking is on X, but I'm not even sure he thinks anywhere in Africa is a real country?

Just carry a battery bank. It’s far cheaper than a second phone.

That’s wrong. I know it’s wrong because I was able to add an eSIM to my iPhone 12 while travelling. The only downside for anything before the iPhone 14 is you can’t have two active eSIMs at the same time, but you can’t have the physical SIM and an eSIM active at the same time.

Some companies require you install an app to get the eSIM, while others it’s just via a QR code, if I remember rightly.

If they were still using an open source version of Slashcode then we could contribute a fix, but they care more about milking the user base than making the basic fix. I appreciate not everyone knows Perl, but they didn't all die off with the dinosaurs.

Don't get me started with IPv6, but back then it was more a Perl being at an evolutionary road block.

Thereâ(TM)s that and the fact that AI is acting as this generationâ(TM)s Industrial Revolution. If the government doesnâ(TM)t help manage this, then the cost to the nation will be bad. The problem is that itâ(TM)s current planning is only good for two tweats, while other nations try to consider a 10 year plan and manage accordingly.

Its also likely less of an issue if you aren't from one of the latin America ethnic groups?

Hé could have spent less and have read the summary, which also talks about a music free podcast that got claimed.

He probably could, but he’d still likely need a lawyer. It’s not whether you’re right, but how much money the other party has to bleed you dry.

It should do, but DMCA is toxic enough to trump that and it isnâ(TM)t as if right to repair in the US is robust enough to clarify that need.

My pessimistic self also doubts the current administration would care enough to address this in a meaningful way.

Given that it has been demonstrated that it can be jail broken, what are the chances someone in the EU, or elsewhere, will try the same and release it on a server outside of the US?
