Apparently, the familes actually agreed to a lower price on this one.

“The Connecticut families agreed to forgo a portion of their recovery to increase the overall value of The Onion’s bid, enabling its success,” according to the statement.

I hope it’s a lot. The money here is going to the families of Sandy Hook victims. There isn’t nearly enough to cover the full court ordered payout, but it’s essentially a donation to them with extra steps.

Russian statements are best ignored,

There’s a trick you can do with what political leaders say. You don’t have to take them at their word, but they are saying things for a strategically chosen reason. You can work from that to take a good guess at their actions.

There’s other things, like not giving a phone call congratulations. Putin quite obviously thinks Trump is a clod to be controlled.

Plus, if you can get the right model, you can play PS2 and PS1 games on it. That’s a ridiculous library full of hidden gems.

Not quite that, but more that the entire thing brings into question Intel’s competence.

I like a bigger screen. Gave the 13 to my wife.

It’s not just performance, though. It’s also trust. If performance per watt was all that mattered, AMD would have cornered the server market years ago. Intel held on because they were considered rock solid stable–very important in a server. That trust was completely broken by the recent instability issues.

Their entire architecture also seems to be just plain behind now. The Ultra 2xx series of processors is not only on TSMC, but on a better node than AMD is using for Ryzen 9000 series. But you wouldn’t know it from the benchmarks of either performance or efficiency.

Sony is also really good at this. With the PS2 against the Dreamcast, they walked on stage, said “$299”, and walked off. Later, the PS3 was struggling against the XB360, but then the Red Ring of Death issues popped up and they pulled way ahead. Microsoft then tries a bunch of Kintect crap with the next generation, and Sony says “do you want to play games? Buy a PS4. It will play games” and they win that generation outright.

Tons of other problems with Sony, but they are masters of taking advantage of competitors’ mistakes.

Their market cap crossed paths well before that the 14th gen issues. Intel seems to be rushing things specifically because they’re trying to catch up to AMD, and is sacrificing too much to get there.

Note that Linus’ disagreement was largely over design decisions and microkernel stuff. Linus actually respects Tanenbaum a great deal. Tanenbaum’s book on operating systems is a CS classic and is a direct influence on the young Linus.

Had that problem on the Framework 13 with Linux. Not seeing it on the 16.

It’ll be a step up from the 7800x3d, but how much is a question. The 9000 series in general has been a disappointment in terms of the gains that were expected, but it does show some kind of gain. There’s reason to think those issues are fixable. Linux performance does show a decent uplift, for one, which has not been the case with Intel’s Arrow Lake chips.

It was a bad take. Intel has not been using TSMC long.

That said, it’s pretty broadly agreed that Intel needs to toss its manufacturing arm into a subsidiary, and then possibly make that subsidiary completely independent. That’s what AMD did with Global Foundries, and it worked very well for them. This process seems to have already started at Intel.

It wouldn’t be my first choice, but it’ll probably do the job. Depends on what you want to do with it. There’s fewer people choosing this path, which means that when things go wrong, you’ll have fewer sources of information to help.

Some old Dell office PC with a good amount of RAM and an SSD would be just as well.

The cameras alone should be able to see IR. There’s filters over most digital cameras to prevent that, but no reason to do it here.

Tesla is just advertising technology that isn’t ready, and people are dying as a result.

And my point is that they won’t try it again, because the Cuban Missile Crisis is probably the closest the world has come to nuclear war.

Yes, which is why they won’t.
