TSMC

edit: downvote all you want, the fundamental circuit level design is not in question here… it’s how you make the damn thing and TSMC can do it better. intel talks a big game yet continues to fail on delivering any of it. i’ll believe half of what they say when i see it… and it helps that good ol’ uncle sam is helping them out, they’re gonna need it.

edit: also 17 FUCKING years ago… GD!

hard to say for sure, but U109 and U208 could be UART into those Cisco baseband or radio chips. one placement for the 2.4 GHz (G) and 5 GHz (A), respectively. would be interesting to probe around there and see if you get a serial interface to it… obviously for extra credit ;-)

when you’re the OS, they let you do it. you can do anything.

6.6.5 has been a massive pain in the ass with the MTK wifi in my asus g14. very happy this got released quickly, no more deadlocks!

Dave Plummer has a very interesting take on this since he was the dev manager for Windows CD Autorun at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqWjq2SdzpI

omg me too… a much nerdier friend of mine told me to install Gentoo on my first custom build back in the early aughts. printed out the guide and spent over a week 24/7 compiling everything with an athlon 64 3500+… and had never used Linux before this… good times, man.

ow, my [registry keys]

the upfront cost for something like geothermal is still outrageous, though. anecdotally, i bought my house with an older unit that ended up catastrophically failing after the reversing valve got stuck and destroyed the compressor. only 1 local shop in the area serviced the thing (same people who installed it when the house was built…) and the unit had long been discontinued since the company that made it (hydro delta) went bankrupt years ago. it was over $15k to put in a new updated unit… luckily my home owners insurance (with the help of a rider i added a year earlier that covered home systems) footed the bill, albeit after a long and arduous battle with the 3rd party shits that state farm outsourced it to. now this new system has a 10 year warranty on parts and labor, otherwise, i would have switched to gas in a heart beat. i can put in a new gas unit every year for 10 years at the same price… so while the geo’s monthly electric bill is nice, i wouldn’t dare install a new residential build with geo… plus add another easy $50k for the loop field if it’s a new install.

i’m afraid what’s going to happen once then 10 years are up since that always seems to be about the time major home appliances fail… probably try to move by then so it isn’t my problem, lol.

Don’t worry, it’s just a friendly meeting with the Bobs

Edgar, your skin is hanging off your bones.

All the worthwhile content creators will (or already have) move on and it’ll be even more of AI generated content circlejerk than it already is. No one should feel sorry for lurkers being lazy.

i’ve been thinking similar things or use some other P2P model like those used by crypto nodes/i2p/tor. and maybe blockchain can serve a different purpose in order to bring validity to instances so as to not have bad actors fuck with the data as well as giving us a way to collectively boot them from federating should their reputation tank… dunno, not an expert in this area at all.

lol… not that i’m an amazon “investor” or anything, but i think most, if not all, openly acknowledge that AWS is the only thing that actually makes money. this is a desperate attempt to make their “store front” look like it’s not as big a loss leader than it really is, but either way… they’ll get off paying the troll toll and continue on with business as usual. 🙄

they want that sweet IPO pump and dump. when he sells, you’ll know it’s time to short the shit out of it. and that’s if it even happens at this rate, fidelity might up and say fuck you and cut them again, who knows.

lol, my thoughts exactly
