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.

At least some of this will be stress. If you're enjoying something, then you won't be stressed. If you're feeling positive and delighting in what you do, then you won't be stressed in unhealthy ways. This looks similar to the Mozart Effect, which turned out to be that if you liked something, your brain functioned better.

Yes, charging around the stage playing rock music isn't exactly gentle, but it IS extremely good exercise for the heart and the rest of the body. Again, that's going to have positive effects.

(We can ignore Keith Richards in this model, as he's older than the universe and only created it as a place to store his guitars.)

Ford was never a prestige badge but it used to be a mass market badge, In the space of a few decades their market share has dropped from 10% to around 3%. In fairness, only one of their car EVs, the Puma-E is a fossil fuel conversion and it has generally garnered good reviews and has some pretty interesting features like a massive boot. But it's still too expensive compared to the competition in the same category.

rivals like AMD and Intel offer competitive specs on paper, but their software stacks have struggled with bugs, compatibility issues, and weak adoption. As a result, Nvidia has built an Apple-like moat around AI computing, leaving the industry dependent on its expensive hardware.

Nvidia's competitors need to work together to improve open-source software tooling and to standardize hardware interfaces, or else go the way of Commodore and Tandy.
