Comment Some people need to feel powerful (Score 2) 36

With over 40 countries safely deploying the new C-band 5G, it doesn't appear to have any safely issues unless an airline has out of specification equipment that bleed outside their designated bandwidth. A quote from the article demonstrates idiocy: "House Transportation Committee chair Peter DeFazio Friday backed the airline group petition warning "we can’t afford to experiment with aviation safety." Any yet Boeing was allowed to release airplanes with "optional" safely features that lead to the crash of two planes and many dead. These politicians are dishonest frauds.

Comment Intels marketing people are doing a nice job (Score 3, Interesting) 40

There is nothing practical about this, other than to gain mindshare on Intel's Alder Lake processors. That's smart marketing. Intel has done a great job in that respect. Within a couple of years when they have additional access to newer fabs, including their own new ones, I expect them to pull ahead of AMD in power use/performance efficiency. They have the money to seriously do a much better job and a CEO that knows that he's doing, unlike the idiots they had as CEO's for the past six years or so.

Comment Simply rebuild manufacturing infrastructue (Score 2) 60

Build even more efficient mega-factories in the West to lessen reliance on Chinese manufacturing. This will take years. And yet, no Western corporation wants to be the first. Government leadership may be needed to overcome the extreme profit-now-over-all-else thinking. This way, when China decides they've had enough and can raise prices or create ever increasing shortages, we can make stuff locally again. I don't expect this to happen until China has gone too far in alienating everyone else. Western corporate leadership is sociopathic and only looking out for how much they can make for themselves. They have no loyaty to their country or their customers, only to bigger and bigger profits.

Comment Facebook took the money (Score 5, Insightful) 149

Whatever post trend brings in the most ad money gets Facebook's support. They even recognized that some posts were foreign government sockpuppet missives and did nothing, since their objective is to gather personal data and "give" it to advertisers (partners) that spend enough money to obtain the data. They're slimy and lie continuously about their part in dividing the worlds peoples.

Comment Windows 10X by another name (Score 1) 26

This sure looks like what Windows 10X would have been. It still won't install updates as fast at Chromebooks, minutes vs. seconds. Break a Chromebook in our local school district, get a new one, log in and you're back where you were within 20 seconds. I seriously doubt any version of Windows can equal the speed of a Chromebook in real use. Time will tell, however.
