Found the vatnik. You getting paid for this or are you just a useful idiot, doing it pro bono?

It's a smart move. We all know the "problem" can't actually be solved; there is no feasible way to prevent sanctioned nations from getting ahold of pallets full of microelectronics after they leave the factory and get shipped all over the planet. But it will motivate Western companies to be more circumspect about who they're dealing with, if only to avoid embarrasing headlines, and this will create higher costs for Russian arms manufacturers, a.k.a. the Russian government. Russia is in deep economic shit that is rapidly becoming catastrophic, and higher costs will add to this pressure.

Few. Especially the white ones. They know they've been iced out of their futures. They see the clown-world around them: prosperity is for non-whites and corrupt while females. Not them.

Much xenophobe

So Trump

Wow

MicroStrategy market cap, which has dropped to $54 billion since I wrote that.

Over and over and over... Same words. Same fools.

Xbox has been dying for 20 years now.

I know hating on Xbox is the approved take, but Microsoft isn't going to walk away from their cut of the console market in your lifetime.

A 56 billion dollar Ponzi scheme is about to explode.

Black swan event. Buckle up folks.

Russian's are happy to deliberately contaminate their own people, rivers, lakes and forests with nuclear waste. They fly nuclear powered cruise missiles over their own land. They leak weaponized anthrax in their own cities. They have solders dig and occupy trenches in land they know is contaminated with nuclear waste.

What could possibly make you believe the Russians would hesitate to spread yet more nuclear waste around in Ukraine if they thought it would bring them some military advantage? In all likelihood this damage to the confinement shell was accidental, but I don't know, and neither do you. What I know with absolute certainty is that Russians don't give fuck number one about the consequences of this, deliberate or otherwise, whether they eventually occupy the land they hope to or not.

No, I'm not. Don't be a sperg.

No, it isn't. 12oz 4pk@$10.99 = $2.75

No, it isn't. ~56,500 12oz in a 80k lbs trailer, max.

Wrong "value." Retailers don't pay retail, obviously.

Yeah, the energy drinks aren't going to make anyone wealthy, but it's still a payday. The retail value of a trailer full of Red Bull is about $130,000. Figure they'll get maybe 10% of that from some retailer and you clear $13,000, tax free. Low risk, because it's not drugs or guns or whatever. Not bad for maybe a couple hours work.

Free is a fiction that exists exclusively in the minds of stupid people.

That's the end objective of everyone, everywhere, at all times. Never bet against integration.

Indeed, there are a great many trade secrets in the RF business. However, I expect all this to level out in the coming years. Physics provides a limited spectrum, and the unlicensed and licensed sides in this are already squabbling over what spectrum there is, because all the useful bands (<=6-7GHz) are now allocated, somehow, to one side or the other.

The Wi-Fi people understand this: Wi-Fi 7 already covers all the unlicensed spectrum that isn't still being squabbled over, and even some that is. Wi-Fi 8, therefore, doesn't deal in new spectrum—there isn't any to be had—instead focusing on refinements that improve efficiency, contention, stability, security, etc. That's all great, but it also belies the underlying reality that the future of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, et al., at least for mobile applications that have any useful range (there are much higher frequency bands, but the physics of attenuation limit the value of these,) is limited by spectrum.

So in the near term, all the players are going to max out the performance that physics allows in the spectrum available. It's a natural cork in the development pipeline. Notice, in the summary, the mention of MediaTek. That's a fabless Taiwanese company, ranking among the Broadcom's and Apple's of the world. They're all running up against the limits of physics and they'll all eventually achieve parity with one another as a result.

We got our "peak oil" anxiety dose yesterday, and now we gotten the expected end-of-antibiotics scare. All that's left is to dust off the doomsday clock people: there still a few hours left to complete the trifecta!

Can't imagine it'd be all that difficult: Trump is somehow president again, so there's every reason to crank the 'ol doomsday clock forward a bit and make a headline.
