Perhaps a reading comprehension mishap has occurred here, but there is no rational way to read this such that it should contribute to your decision. Failing to support Linux is not an option Intel has 2025, and dropping Clear Linux OS does not indicate that they're doing this.

"Atlantic Council" fake website is a joke and isn't NATO, and Josh Cohen is a Putin-dicklicking troll. Yawwn.

Except for printers, IBM still does everything on your list. POWER is one of the few surviving vendor proprietary CPUs in the world today. POWER11 was introduced a week ago, and they're still made in an IBM fab. They make enterprise grade flash storage systems and scalable cluster file systems. They are among the leaders in quantum computing research. They've developed their own inference accelerator hardware to augment their conventional CPUs.

Again. This isn't apparent to people in the commodity hardware and software world, but IBM still sells a complete stack of IBM gear to those that can write the necessary checks. IBM's largest source of revenue isn't either consulting or hardware. It's software licensing. The have a portfolio of enterprise software you've never heard spoken of, and it's a $27e9/year business.

IBM serves a world you don't know or care about. And they'll be cashing those checks long after we're both dead.

In fact one of their justifications for invading Ukraine was "denazification".

So you're a Putin-Dicksucking little bitch who's too fucking stupid to understand that Putin the Nazi Shitbag's "denazification" claims were a smokescreen. Fucking kill yourself you disgusting Putin-Dicksucking Genocidal Little Nazi Bitch.

Nazi-run Facebook is banning people for posting links to the Holocaust Day Memorial Trust. The whole Meta monopolist crime syndicate needs to be ended.

IBM is fine. IBM serves institutional customers. Wealthy customers (cities, states, major corps, federal agents, etc.) pay IBM for services. And no, I'm not taking about mainframes. They have zero profile in the start-up, VC circus, so bloggers don't prattle on about IBM, so you and your ilk are ignorant of what that do and why people pay them. Rest assured, however, IBM a going concern with a very secure future.

Texas Instruments went into a nosedive in the 1980s. They bet on and failed at home computers, and Japanese competitors came after TI's bread and butter semiconductor products. TI had to restructure, do mass layoffs, close plants, etc.

Microsoft more or less ignored the Internet from 1992-1994....and in June 1992 there were only ten websites. The commercial internet wasn't a thing until July 1995.

You have a weird, fucked-up misconception of history.

Facebook's shitty, Nazi-trained AI bans people for posting links to the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust.

Zuckerberg is a shit-eating robotic Nazi and the best thing for the world would be for every one of his companies to instantly go out of business.

A long time ago, I wrote a lot of PL/SQL. My memories of that are not unpleasant. It is one of Oracle's better capabilities, and PL/SQL does fit very well as a procedural language in an RDBMS.

It did well domestic business, but stunk it up in China, and the rest of Asia doesn't look too good either. The only foreign market that's really putting in good numbers is Latin America. Since the domestic market is doing better than expected, it'll make money. But with the way Asia is playing out, it won't make the kind of money that Warner Brothers was hoping for.

Hollywood has been relying on Asia for profitability on multi-million dollar CGI epics for a couple of decades now. They may have to adjust their business model.

Despite very credible allegations, Biden was never convicted of raping raping Tara Reade. And his daughter's recollections of him inappropriately showering with her outlasted any statute of limitations. But I see where you're going, there. The rest is a good fit, right down to the weaponized government, for sure. The plot twist is that the real kingpins are behind the scenes, using him as a puppet. It's good villain story line material fresh from real life.

It probably made me 5 times slower because it gets hung up on a stupid thing, misinterprets me telling it what the correction is, does something different, rewrites the whole thing, introduces different issue

I argued with an LLM for about an hour about how to properly escape paths with whitespace in them for passing to AWK. I could have fixed it myself quicker, but I wanted to see just how many times of going 'No, you have to because " it'd take before it'd realize what the actual issue was.

It took a *long time*
