Looks like this might have changed as this page:https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amd.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fsoftware%2Fadaptive-socs-and-fpgas%2Fvivado%2Fvivado-licensing-options.html lists linux as supported under all tiers including the BASIC/Free tier. Wonder if this is just for the current version. It's not 100% clear.

This. There are lots of applications where I want lithium batteries: airplanes and cell phone spring immediately to mind. Maybe cars too. But the power storage for my solar array would actually benefit more from Sodium given its greater cycle life. And given the fire safety aspect, I also prefer sodium for the batter backup in my servers. It's not an either or, we can now choose the best technology for our application and that's a good thing.

This is stupid. They're still going to be making the linux product. They're still going to be offering a free version. Just not free on Linux. I can't see how it's related to support costs as you don't get support with the free version, instead you're going to be funneled to the forums which have never really provided me useful answers.

I use the free linux version every day for my hobby projects and I need Linux around since the software component running on the ARM cores sure isn't windows.

I work in the ASIC industry but doing this hobby work has put me in a position where I could do something professional if I wanted. Now I'll just move on to another company's products. Lattice or Altera. Something I never would have considered before.

You can use IP address in your web browser, you don't have to type in a DNS location.

While I am sympathetic to your thesis, if you're serious about raising the voting age, I must say I am in violent opposition to that unless you raise the draft age by the same amount.

When this does go bankrupt, what happens to the customer data? Is is sold as an asset like any other? Will there be any restrictions on what the buyer can do with that data?

I've heard of an effort called package base that will make installing the base system like installing packages. I think this will also give more granularity in what parts of the base to install.

How would this be much different the way crypto used to be? It just means that repos contain trained values will be hosted and distributed in locations that don't have the rules, and everything else will be hosted anywhere.

Um google, facebook, Amazon, Microsoft. Those are all big chip companies. That may not be that primary business of each but they all make a lot of semiconductors

ATT fiber has been much more reliable for me. I've managed to get rid of their box (not something every user could probably do but you can extract the certs and build you own gateway). My IP doesn't change literally every week like it did on comcast and I can buy extra statics (not that I'd need to the IP hasn't changed in 3 years). I get reliable 939MBits up and down with no data caps. I've never had an outage in 3 years. Comcast sucked for me.

I have ATT fiber and consistently get 939 MegaBits/s down AND up. Real world speeds to random sites out on the internet aren't nearly the same but when I need to download 50GB updates to my engineering software it makes HUGE difference. I had comcast and ATT fiber is orders of magnitude more reliable. In several years of service I haven't had a single outage and I can use my own device (thought you have to be tech savvy for that). Finally my IPs don't bounce around every week. I've had the same IP for the last several years and have purchased more. I would never go back.

The boot loader was written in FORTH the kernel wasn't.

Yes, and no. If you went out and took your own pictures of snow or sand or water or whatever and use those then good on you no problem. However if you use the digital files off of this womanâ(TM)s CD or took pictures of the textures published in her book thus making either a copy or a derivative work then no youâ(TM)ve infringed her copyright.

Donâ(TM)t forget works being artificially restricted using technology to certain regions of the world to maximize the profit that can be extracted while avoiding the potential of a work being exported From a region where it sells cheaply to a region where it sells for a more expensive price

I donâ(TM)t know where you are but I just price them here in Menlo Park California in the San Francisco Bay area and itâ(TM)s $66 a month including a $20 a month discount for the first year making the regular price $86 a month not that different from my current $90 a month AT&T fiber to the home. I really do get gigabit speedâ(TM)s in for a few extra dollars a month I can even get static IPâ(TM)s and their IPv6 address is donâ(TM)t jump around every week like Comcast it. If you root and replace their home gateway itâ(TM)s really a decent service
