Pretty sure this was described exactly in Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson, 1992).

Sorry, there’s no way Qualcomm is buying Intel as is

At the end of its third quarter of its fiscal 2024, […] Qualcomm had $7.8 billion in cash and […] just over $23 billion in total assets. That means Qualcomm, […] is almost certainly looking at a stock-for-stock transaction. As of writing, Qualcomm’s market cap is $188 billion, just more than double that of Intel’s at $93 billion.

In fact, Chipzilla may not be worth much to Qualcomm unless it can renegotiate the x86/x86-64 cross-licensing patent agreement between Intel and AMD, which dates back to 2009. That agreement is terminated if a change in control happens at either Intel or AMD.

While a number of the patents expired in 2021, it’s our understanding that agreement is still in force and Qualcomm would be subject to change of control rules. In other words, Qualcomm wouldn’t be able to produce Intel-designed x86-64 chips unless AMD gave the green light.

Got a link to that?

Can’t wait to read about it telling someone to put glue on pizza.

Thanks! I was racking my brain trying to think of where I knew it from, and after seeing the page that you linked I’m almost certain that it’s After Burner that is causing my brain to trigger the 80s association.

You can tell just from the font that this book is from the 80s

I see this FUD all the time but nobody ever gives examples. Can you point to some specific sites that don’t work with Firefox?

Explain to me how what you just said is any different from a homophobic person who says “I don’t have anything against gay people I just wish they wouldn’t rub it in my face” and when seeing a gay couple kissing they say “eww that’s gross why do you have to do that in public”?

When someone says that, it’s homophobic. What you just said is also phobic. You don’t get to dictate how other people express their sexuality just because it doesn’t align with your own sexuality. You have to learn to live in a world with other people who are not like you.

Do better.

Those machines should be airgapped and no need to run Crowdstrike on them. If the process controller machines of a steel mill are connected to the internet and installing auto updates then there really is no hope for this world.

This takes me back about 20 years.

but it does make me happy to see articles condemning their moves almost every day

Did you read this article? It’s a pro-Microsoft article published on MSN (Microsoft Network).

Google *had good search. It’s been dogshit for some time now though.

I used Qwant for a few days and then it popped up a modal dialog asking me to turn off my ad-blocker. Never used it again after that.

I’m also going to try using the eSIM to trial Google Fi

You degoogled your phone and then want to route all of your mobile data through Google servers?

Go on then, LTT. Delete your youtube account.

Technology also isn’t going to improve drastically any more
