I do not know that Intel/AMD, Microsoft, and the OEM hardware makers all license the same patents.

Under the doctrine [patent exhaustion doctrine], once an authorized sale of a patented article occurs, the patent holder's exclusive rights to control the use and sale of that article are said to be "exhausted," and the purchaser is free to use or resell that article without further restraint from patent law.

My understanding is that the hardware does not implement HEVC/H.265, but instead implements primitives which can be used to accelerate it.

It points to turbine failure, including compressor failure. The engine is mounted to the wing structure using shear bolts so that if the turbine seizes, the torque breaks the engine free without destroying the wing structure, which appears to be exactly what happened.

For myself, I bought a pickup because it is easier to repair and maintain. Changing the front headlights takes maybe 15 minutes, unlike say a Ford Fusion sedan where the entire front of the vehicle must be removed. Doing my own oil change does not take much longer.

The pickup truck market is distorted by federal regulations such that making smaller pickups is basically illegal.

When my 2002 S-10 was discontinued in 2003 or 2004, it was replaced by basically the same vehicle, but 500 pounds heavier and slightly larger to meet EPA requirements, and that has continued since so now my 2002 S-10 looks tiny compared to today's smallest new pickups.

I still have my 2002 S-10 but it is in good shape because I had to leave it in storage for many years. The smallest new trucks are huge compared to mine.

That is the political solution which ignores economics and created the current dilemma, but sure, let's repeat what failed before. Maybe it will work this time.

The guy who advocated solving problems peacefully through discussion got shot or something.

I have an old Netgear DS104 dual speed hub for exactly that sort of thing. It was very useful in the past for diagnosing network issues, but there are no Gigabit hubs that I am aware of.

What are the environmental costs of 48.5 tons of meteoritic material entering the atmosphere every day? What does that do to the ozone layer? Where do the toxic pollutants go?

Never page out the page in handler.

I had that happen to me several times when I lived in Southern California. It is a real thing to just go back to bed and plan on reading about it in the news in the morning.

When I lived in Missouri, I took tornado warnings much more seriously.

My cat rips open the belly and eats the liver. I think she leaves the body as a warning.

By 'Space Power', does that mean Macron wants to put more than one token into the hyperspace cone?

Iraqi WMDs, Hunter Biden's laptop, and the Steele Dossier were not as extreme?

I would include covering for Fauci's lies and the WHO covering up China's involvement.

What about "saving" the 2020 election? The mainstream media was proud of their lies.
