Comment Integrated into CPU? (Score 1) 12
Is Apple's end objective here to integrate the modem into the CPU so that there's one less chip in the device? That should save significant cost.

The existence of a class of people who can't afford or don't have access to real food is a policy choice, not an iron law of the universe.
The main question is if the plant is still safe. It hasn't been used in years. Is it still in good maintenance? Was the design meant to be idled for years? What are the risks of restarting that particular design of reactor after all those years? Is the land there safe for workers of the plant after reactor 2's accident all those years ago? And what plans are in place to prevent what happened at reactor 2 from happening at reactor 1?
I actually don't know the answer to any of those questions. But I hope experts are actively asking those.
...aaand I misread your post. Yeah, no, it's an overhyped press release.
Nuclear fission is dirty. Its waste products need to be carefully and securely stored for thousands of years. Don't get me wrong -- it's one of the cleanest options we currently have for scalable power generation -- but it's dirty dirty dirty. Fusion's waste products are safe and non-radioactive.
Oh, and even disregarding waste products, it's safer. Not entirely safe, but a fusion reactor explodes, nobody outside the blast radius is going to be hurt, ever. If a fisison reactor melts down, the place where that fission reactor was, automatically becomes a permanent synonym for "environmental catastrophe". Have you ever heard of this town in Eastern Europe called Chernobyl? I have too! So will our great great grandchildren.
If you tried to design a power source which was as scary as possible, you'd end up with nuclear fission. Again, it's one of the best options we have. But it's awful compared to fusion.
Really isn't. I haven't seen cursive anywhere but on documents in a museum at any point in my life. That includes signatures, which are more likely to be a squiggle than anything resembling actual cursive. There is zero point to mandatory instruction on it anymore (if there ever was- the idea that it was a faster way of writing is backed by 0 proof. And even if it was, the ease of reading script more than cancels out those speed gains).
I think American schools should probably teach something. It seems fairly evident that they are not even doing that at present.
Hell has finally frozen over?
That won't be an option if MS gets is way!
And you wish the only car on the market was a Frod F150?
In most of the world, an engineer designs engines - and/or their control systems. (Whether petrol, steam, or electric - or even hydrogen).
I think HBO was one of the first, or the first, cable channel.
HBO did not have ads in the 1980s.
Was it a blanket indictment? I hope they will be cozy in prison, but the way law and order are handled now they might be in bed with powerful people.
It would be nice to use my TV for Zoom, but I certainly don't want the camera gathering data for its own purposes. The screen scraping that smart TVs do is bad enough.
No. Because the company collected the data in the first place. "In a database" is a place where criminals are likely to devote enormous resources to stealing it, and which they are unlikely to be able to protect adequately. On top of which, exactly 0 customers want their details to be stored.
