While it's good for the company to open their high-end manufacturing to clients rather than than merely making their own CPUs, it's bad to completely scrap the newer development process without an alternative route forward. This will definitely boost profits in the short-term but without investing in a new fab process then those profits will wane.

This does not appear to be a sustainable strategy but rather an approach to cash out. It seems to me that the best way forward would be to decouple their fabrication from their CPU development, much the same way that AMD did.

Trump is the dictator of the proletariat.

The white-collar bourgeoisie is not happy.

It's not turning out like Marx predicted.

You install spyware on your phone and complain that it is spying?

GTFO.

Only if you really, really don't want it to.

Irrelevant to what exactly? When did trump care about Ukraine (or knew what it was) before he started asking "favors"?

You're not very well equipped to tell who's dumb, buddy.

Don't forget the moral panics.

Make no mistake people, especially people here who tend to be better educated and informed, made a trade.

I don't believe for a second there is anyone here on this forum that doesn't know Republicans are bad for the economy. Tech nerds have more than enough pattern recognition to figure that one out.

So you have to start asking why the people here voted trump, and I know they did. Not everybody but I would guess the majority.

And that just leaves moral panics. Woke, dei, trans, those are the current ones but there were plenty before that that people traded there economic future for.

Mind you none of them believe they're going to be the ones personally hit. If they did they would have voted against trump.

Probably one of the most famous quotes from a trump supporter out there is, he's not hurting the people he's supposed to be hurting.

At this point nobody is going to escape the damage. But Trump voters will go to their graves not believing that. Even as they lose their houses to Banks after mortgaging them to pay for medical care.

Well, it appears comment #1 was wrong.

The rapid increase of CO2 sparked instead a united movement of the plainly ignorant and the willfully ignorant, which is successfully shutting down science in the former USA.

Yes.

They can obviously produce expensive garbage as well.

Good find.

I'm sorry, would help me with those "alternative sources"?

Where does the Qanon crowd hang out these days?

Or perhaps you mean I should watch Russia Today and read Sputnik?

If they did, then they were quite wrong.

First, because the hate of trump for Ukraine predates the start of putin's hot war against the West by two years.

Second, because IRL it was the other way around - the Trump party's operatives, driven by trump's hate for Ukraine amplified ruzzkie propaganda and gradually changed the opinion of their moronic electorate.

Somebody got their mod points. My last five posts have been modded down by 1. Man what a sad existence we all have here...

The core 2 and i7s were very good. Everyone compromised speed for security without realizing it if they went for an out of order processor.

Oh yeah I know, like I said when an empire starts to fail it tries to expand its borders in order to loot.

I'd like to see us turn it around but I just don't see how. Propaganda plus voter suppression means our right wing extremist party can win every election with ease and they're incompetence and evil means we're basically doomed.

The centrists have their heads up their asses and the left wing refuse to give up on 18 to 24 mega voter turnout that's just never going to happen. So there is no viable opposition to the right wing extremists

You have a very naive way of looking at the world. First, Russia does not place its intercontinental rockets around Moscow. They are mainly around the Kola peninsula close to the Finish border, in the Ural mountains, on the peninsula Kamtchatka close to the Alaskian Shore and on the Kurilian Islands North of Japan. Second, the Stable Genius did not have any Strategic ideas. He just looked at a map, and in his imperial reflex, he saw places in North America, which werenât U.S. territory, which greatly bothered him. As annexing Mexico would mean 100 Million Mexicans suddenly becoming U.S. citizens, he dropped the idea of demanding Mexico, but Canada and Greenland? Oh yes!

Then we are lucky, that they actually donâ(TM)t, with the exception being the Democratic Republic Congo. Or as the late Hans Rosling put it: You canât do politics for the 2000s with the Information from 1970.

Is only technically true if you start splitting hairs and it's also something that is only true because of a huge amount of government action and only within the last about 50 to 70 years.

There are so many fucking asterises related to your entire post I almost mistook it for a European comic book.

But sure, let's pretend the human race and human civilization only ever gets better and ignore thousands of years of History. Because that worked out really great for everyone involved as long as you just wait 2,000 years and having to get lucky and get born in the right place at the right time to the right parents so you're one of the two billion people that have a functioning life as opposed to one of the six billion that don't...
