Comment Re: Apple computer (Score 2) 88

I bought a $300 laptop almost two years ago, it still does all the things I want it to do, and quickly too. It's got a 2C4T AMD and I was able to upgrade the RAM to 8GB with a perfectly matching used module from eBay for $15. (IME they have to match exactly for modern integrated video to work reliably.) It's no game console, but video encode and decode work well.

Absolutely zero evidence has ever been presented that Cheeto Benito was injured in any way, let alone actually struck by anything.

If you believe that orange piece of shit was shot when no medical records have been released, you're as much of a dumbfuck as the people who believe his claims of height and weight.

I'm surprised that x86 is still a thing. It is pretty clear that ARM chips now able to run circles around Intel chips both on the portable and the server market, especially when you consider the compute per watts.

Square footage still matters and per thread performance still matters. ARM is way behind on both, to get the same performance you need more machines and that means more management and real estate costs.

Now, I got some Intel shares last month because, just like the big banks and the Detroit car manufacturers, I believe they are Too Big To Fail and will likely get bailed out by our tax dollars when it comes to it.

Probably true, but I hope you lose that bet.
