Dedicated mining hardware manufacturers (i.e. Bitmain) saw this coming years ago and started moving toward building AI processing hardware.

It's folly to say something like "you can get away with a two decades old CPU" then cite a decade old TOP OF THE LINE CPU.
It's just dishonest to say that. You need faster hardware to compensate for that bad software, it's not about who's to blame.

And you couldn't legally do it. That BBS wasn't allowed to plug into your telephone line.
Your telephone was leased and owned by Bell. The adapters to allow you to connect third party devices to them were contraband.
We fought hard for the freedom we have. Harder than you know.

There's a point where people need to stop trying to justify the way they disrupt lives, and stop disrupting lives, but that's a concept that's lost on people who require control over others.

HDDs are just as inconsistent. About the only reading that means anything on them is the reallocated sector count, and that's mostly an indicator that the failure already occurred and you better get moving on replacement. It's not that hard to figure out if you've made a habit of paying attention to those readings.

People keep fleeing California for greener pastures, then coming right back.
Maybe they should have tried to understand why before they left.

Reading about central valley farmers complaining that the quality of water they were importing from the rest of the state had dropped because there just wasn't enough water to supply them. Really makes you think, why do they expect things that don't work, to work for them.

Fascism doesn't have positives. It's just an excuse to allow atrocities to go on unabated.
If fascists had anything to offer, they would offer it.

When I have tabs open it's because I want the content of those tabs accessible.
Using features that make them inaccessible goes against even having them open.

Sounds like you aren't familiar with technological progress from before the millenials and zoomers were even born.

I did watch a few of the more recent, pre-woke Marvel fare like Thor, Capt America and Iron Man, but those were sent to me as gifts. Much eye candy. Little substance.
Try the woke ones. You might find more substance.

I long for the day when we finally get the metaverse.
Imagine it.
an entire virtual, alternate plane of existence.
Running alongside our own timeline!
We will be able to freely interact with content generated across the world!
People from all over the planet, if they can connect to the Metaverse, all of human knowledge at their fingertips!
But for now we have to settle for less.
We have to settle for a near lightspeed global information network that allows us to do literally everything the metaverses promises.
But I assure you, we will not see a successful implementation of the metaverse in our lifetimes.

There's something that I find unsettling about the idea that we need to move resource management into the language rather than keep it controlled by the developer.
A lot of these ideas seem to be focused on eliminating the sort of manual memory management that C and C++ allow, which prevents developers from learning how to manage computer resources effectively. They don't understand what to do when something breaks at a level where the language is not holding their hand.
Look at how C pointers are treated as an arcane, difficult mechanism. It's a memory address, that's all it is, but look at how hard that concept apparently is.
It feels like expecting the car to steer for you while pretending that the steering wheel is an arcane mechanism that you can't figure out by looking at it.

To add to this, the previous summary had pointed out that they were specifically calling out IBM for giving them deep discounts on things they didn't need.
Which is a big part of large support contracts to begin with.

This sounds like they're suing IBM for standard operating procedure concerning large support contracts.
How is "You used money made in one division of your business to float another division" even an accusation?
What are they being accused of?
