People who trust Zuckerberg.

That's an interesting comparison I had missed. Good call.

Presumably the military needs decent chips fabbed on US soil. Doesn't have to compete with AMD or Samsung in the PC CPU market.

GF bought IBM fabs, TI isn't relevant, TSMC is just coming online but is still controlled by Taiwan. Is Motorola/Freescale around anymore?

With an engineer in charge maybe Intel stands a chance of a rebound. Competition is good so let's hope so.

I haven't bought an Intel desktop or server chip since 2018 but plenty of their low-power SoC's , Atom/n1xx. They still make good stuff in certain markets.

Selling railcar loads of Xeons for a 20x markup to buy Marketing people McMansions is likely never coming back.

Here's what's going to happen. They're (not just Google) building all these massive AI data centers, drawing massive amounts of energy. But they don't want to pay upfront for all the energy infrastructure needed to support that. So, in a few years when the bubble bursts and they figure out even more energy savings, guess who's going to be stuck paying those sunk infrastructure costs? Us.

Slashvertisement. Really, no one cares.

Stop having Venmo narc every non-trivial txn to the IRS if you want people to unload their stuff.

They already paid taxes on the income and first sale.

OK, wait ... don't tell Trump that would help EV adoption.

Screw it, just promote Monero in your community. It's actually fungible.

FWIW I've installed several 220 outlets outside my house (generator, pressure washer, etc.). Not difficult and high voltage actually makes it easier becauae you need less copper.

The metal box I used has a cover that protects the outlet in all but driving rain. Only 50A for mine; it looks like this is high-end for home use with 80A being commercial, typically, based on one guide that came up on search.

Oh the chaos that would ensue. :)

Narcissists often get caught because they lack subtlety.

There's some evidence that Meta provided Israel with targeting data from WhatsApp used to flatten civilian apartment buildings in Tehran.

The IRGC put out an urgent plea to its citizens to uninstall WhatsApp within a day or two.

But people will say, "yeah, but there's no good alternative," so actually providing one is smart military strategy, if they've actually built a viable competitor.

If Americans think In-Q-Tel funded Facebook but don't have access to its data ... yeah, well they slept through the Snowden drops.

He's moved on from stupid to moron, but still has room to continue along the path.

Idiots. - Those so defective that the mental development never exceeds that or a normal child of about two years.
Imbeciles. - Those whose development is higher than that of an idiot, but whose intelligence does not exceed that of a normal child of about seven years.
Morons. - Those whose mental development is above that of an imbecile, but does not exceed that of a normal child of about twelve years.

Intuit has done this before with EOL versions of Windows. There's nothing new about them doing it again.

>This assumes that the testing is harmful.

It does no such thing. In fact, you are assuming exactly the opposite, that testing isn't harmful. Without testing, claiming harmful or not is just an assumption.

There are lots of people who get upset about animal testing. Now here's a group suggesting human testing is needed. "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."

Yep. There's a slight chance they could make someone seem more intelligent, but more likely they'll look as stupid as a hallucinating AI. And they won't know the difference. It's got absolutely nothing to do with the wearer's intelligence (although that someone is willing to pay for these is an indicator).

> It's a scam, and that's why their warranty do not cover water damage.

yup.

Marketing: it's waterproof!
Finance: nope.

> It definitely takes a certain personality type to be able to do sales for a living.

Short-term gains, sure, but good sales people generate relationships that result in repeat sales.

When they started pushing batteries hard when I ran in for a relay I knew the end was near.
