it is more profitable to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission

Maybe a little ironic, but I would imagine current Apple modem designs are different from the ones they bought from Intel. From what I can tell, it took Apple many years and revisions to get modems to work they wanted. One of the main reasons Apple bought the business from Intel was the patents. Qualcomm is very litigious, but they would have an uphill battle if they never sued Intel for the same technology even if Apple had improved upon the design.

There is no purge. People forget this is an announcement of plans for a future kernel. Current versions are not affected. Current installations are not affected. All prior versions are still available for download. I would imagine there are few things in newer versions of the kernel that would greatly benefit 30 year old hardware for someone to stop using a working kernel.

Jensen Huang to college grads: "Run. Don't walk" toward AI

https://www.axios.com/2026/05/...

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told graduates at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh yesterday that demand for AI infrastructure is creating a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to reindustrialize America and restore the nation's capacity to build."

Why it matters: With many college grads fearing AI could obliterate their career dreams, Huang pointed to boundless opportunity as a "new industry is being born. A new era of science and discovery is beginning ... I cannot imagine a more exciting time to begin your life's work."

Nvidia, which makes AI chips, is the world's most valuable company. Huang told 5,800 recipients of undergraduate and graduate degrees that the AI buildout will require plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, and builders for chip factories, data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities.

"No generation has entered the world with more powerful tools â" or greater opportunities â" than you," he said. "We are all standing at the same starting line. This is your moment to help shape what comes next. So run. Don't walk."

"Every major technological revolution in history created fear alongside opportunity," Huang added. "When society engages technology openly, responsibly, and optimistically, we expand human potential far more than we diminish it."

On the contrary, evidence seems to suggest that AI has long been very good at generating zero-day vulnerabilities. It has a little more trouble with identifying and avoiding them.

The particular reason is that their time and effort is finite. If very few people are using them, then it is being removed from future versions as they do not want to keep maintaining them. Remember that your current versions do not suddenly stop working. Also if someone else wants to maintain it, they can. They will not maintain it.

For future versions of Linux, it will be more difficult to get running on a K5. Current working versions are not affected. However, I cannot imagine anyone running a K5 now needs all the new features of 7.2 going forward. They can continue to use the 7.1 kernel and older.

Why? 30 year old hardware will not be supported in future Linux versions. The current versions will be supported for a while. But those versions will be available for download on mirrors for even longer. Finally if someone wants to fork and support their own branch, they can.

You seem not to understand the word AND. Windows 11 gives many users a reason not to upgrade their computers. AND many of them are gamers. AND components are expensive right now. Not once was the word “only” used as the reason.

You are aware TSMC has built two chip fabs in Arizona and building a third one, right? You are also aware that Samsung built a chip fab in Texas over 20 years ago and is building a second one, right?

Or more likely, Intel will have to adapt their processes to Apple designs and for other companies if Intel wants to do business as a chip foundry.

Off the top of my head, here are the other processors Apple uses: Apple Watch, Homepod (S series), AirPods (H series), modems (C series). There are millions to tens of millions of these processors that Apple will need each year.

The main reason Apple left Intel was all on Intel for not making progress for years on chips. This was the same reason Apple left IBM. Apple thought that by using Intel they would not be in the same situation again. Little did anyone know how Intel would struggle at 10nm for years. It is unlikely that Apple will ever go back to using x86 for their main processors though.

Intel these days is more open to being a chip foundry like TSMC than before. Apple using Intel to fabricate their chips as a secondary supplier makes business sense for everyone.

And why is this "great"? The main reason Apple stopped sourcing chips from Intel had nothing to do with politics. It was due to Intel's stagnation in making chips. Intel was stuck for years while AMD passed them by. Apple finally had enough. Some would call that just business.

Again the issue was entirely Intel's incompetence at making progress for years. Apple would probably keep buying chips from Intel if they were good chips. After all Apple bought Intel's entire modem business from them. More than likely Intel will make other chips for Apple first. For example every AirPod requires a chip. Every Apple Watch requires a chip. Apple modem chip C1 could be fabricated by Intel.

No doubt that Bill Clinton is skeezy as hell, but he's specifically requested that the Epstein Files be released in their entirety.

Bill's a perv, but a perv that likes legal aged women.

You fail to actually detail how passwords that exist in a password manager can be compromised in Chrome. A keylogger can only record what the user types. If Windows Hello or biometric authentication is turned on, the user does not type in the authentication password nor the site password. Also you seem to forget that while company equipment is not yours, there is compartmentalization put in place from one bad actor being able to infiltrate multiple systems. An IT support person should not be able to access HR, Payroll, etc.
