It is very likely.

I was surprised to see that their negotiations broke down because of price/cost as opposed to technology (unproven node and to my knowledge intel doesn’t really have any experience with semi-custom x86 business).

one of the top education videos on the front page is by an occultist about how the wrong witchcraft caused 9/11, another is how the vaccines are going to start killing babies, etc.

This is actually pretty funny. I am glad I am staying away from Odysee.

In general, I am rather skeptical of “free speech absolutism” and what have you, comes off a little parochial to me.

No, TSMC is not supposed to be a permanent solution. Just Arrow Lake.

This would be an excellent law/regulation that makes complete sense.

The major companies can most definitely manage this (although they will cry crocodile tears).

That’s definitely true.

The rested on their lawrels when they were the only game in town from the late 2000s to ~2018.

Considering the price, I would assume it’s likely 64GB (maybe 128 GB).

That would not be a good thing. The CPU/GPU design and semiconductor fab industries are already massively concentrated.

You don’t understand the terms “censorship” or “free speech”. It’s a mere internet polemic for you, something to act out about .

You have no clue what you are talking about.

I think you need to cancel your citizenship (and your family members’ citizenships) and move to russia or PRC.

Not all surprising, he’s been pushing the russian narrative for a while now.

We’ll probably get there in 10-15 years (as in at mainstream, mass market prices).

Don’t know how it is in the US, but you don’t get any support for Pixel where I live.

Samsung on the other hand is excellent, they even have retail locations.

There are pros/cons to anonymous payments. It’s a bit sophomoric to claim privacy is impossible without anonymous payments.

There are most definitely many use cases for .onion sites without any sort of payments (“anonymous” or otherwise).

Monero support is a massive red flag for criminal activity, even by the very low standards of crypto.

I didn’t really get this either.

I did think the final paragraph was notable, a “zeitgeist of our times” if you will:

The absurdity of the situation prompted tech author and journalist James Vincent to write on X, “current tech trends are resistant to satire precisely because they satirize themselves. a car park of empty cars, honking at one another, nudging back and forth to drop off nobody, is a perfect image of tech serving its own prerogatives rather than humanity’s.”

Could please share the article from the screenshot? The one where he says he wants to paywall r/asshole design?

So basically anything goes in terms of content…

EDIT: The reference to assholedesign is a joke, the first part is legite (that they are generally considering paywalled subs).

Other than OF-style content, what exactly are they planning to paywall?

A tiny % left and even among them there are many genocidal nationalists and fake opposition types.

Look up any research on the topic Russian Field, Levada, LSE List Experiment on support from the war among Russians.

I believe the general trend was that every age category had a majority and that at one point the 30-40 age group had slightly lower support for russian annexation and destruction of Ukrainian identity than the 18 -29 age group.

The majority of the young people in Russia are genocidal imperialists. Support for extermination of other countries is of course higher in the older generations, but that doesn’t change the fact that a solid majority of young (e.g. 18 to 29) are genocidal imperialists.

I understand that it might be reassuring to repeat platitudes like “young people of russia are against the war”, but this is clearly not true.

Even the framing is suspect. What do you mean by “the war”; the full-scale invasion? In Ukraine, the war started in 2014 with annexation of Crimea and russian invasion of Donbas.
