> Bitcoinâ(TM)s supply is finite its issuance is algorithmic and transparent and no one can âoepull numbers out of thin airâ to inflate its price or supply. ...so long as the social structure and community norms that undergird it remain in place. The ETH split over DAO is instructive here.

Comment "sustain the development" (Score 1) 89

Yeah, nobody is buying this "sustain the development" nonsense.

Somebody needs to keep the servers patched. Somebody needs to keep the app targeting an API that the app stores will host. Bose can afford maybe 1.5 FTE's with redundancy on a rolling basis.

Did they ignore due diligence for a decade and just get nabbed running RHEL 5 and unlicensed Oracle Java on an old VMWare or something?

If Bose is a public corporation perhaps the FTC should have a look at their deliberations.

"Current technology is current and has reached the limit of the cash we can squeeze out of it due to increasing software requirements...but Future Technology is better and has more breathing room for profit margin."
 
I think the bigger news between the lines is that AMD can both sign mega-scale deals to provide compute to OpenAI and also continue to pursue the consumer graphics+console market. I think this is proving that Intel's monolithic approach (design + fab) is archaic, or too expensive to succeed and they've got enough cash and breathing room to actually innovate in the design space.....The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 8 channels of RAM is amazing.
 
So...can we PLEASE get a better compute stack than ROCm, or at least make it easy to support consumer graphics?? The 395's gfx1151 is still crap with ROCm 7.0 and it has "AI" in the marketing title!!!

Comment Re: Cloud hw wo subscription is accelerated e-wast (Score 4, Insightful) 89

The only difference between fraud and market economics in this case is one is legal. They both take advantage of the consumer on the receiving end of it and leave them with e-waste and the need to Spend More Money to get something they had working previously with no other recourse other than..spend money.
 
I agree with whoever said that either services should be run in perpetuity (with a trust fund perhaps from the profit made) OR they fully release a server or specification to allow this device to continue to fully function.

Comment Enlighten me (Score 3, Interesting) 10

How does AI cause job cuts in outsourced IT? This doesn't make any sense to me. My gut is telling me that its due in part to execs kowtowing to Trump and not wanting to spend money on non-American jobs, and just cutting the job entirely, but I have no evidence of this, but IT outsourcing is in large part Windows Desktop and Windows Server administration which can't just be 'automated' with an LLM, and some savvy IT help desk star isn't becoming 10x more productive with an LLM at their fingers....are they? Am I missing out on some technique or knowledge????
