No, there are at least 10 and I think most of them have systems that support 30nm masks, which is typical for DDR4. I don't know too much about Chinese capabilities, but I would think they could probably do DDR4 masks these days.

What do you put that into? Used MBs? What about the CPUs on those MBs?

I spent a month earlier this year scraping together a bunch of NOS servers, CPUs (early-gen Xeons) and DDR3 RAM for a legacy contract (with "frozen" software) that was nearing its term. It's tough to find and assemble 10 year-old tech at scale these days but it was kinda fun.

It's not a general solution for today's needs though.

It's the T-Mobile O&O stores that are getting phased out. There are many 3rd-party locations that will happily take your money on overpriced accessories and "insurance" in exchange for the in-person experience. The basic cellular service market in the US is price-compressed now so there are not a lot of services to up-sell.

It's quite expensive to operate broadcast TV stations because they're designed to keep the barriers to access to their programming very low. No subscriptions or intermediate distribution networks between the licensed transmitter and the consumer...just some cheap and easy to find commodity hardware. At least, that was how TV used to be.

ATSC screwed that up in the US. The transition was huge bungle at a time when internet bandwidth was about on-par for the purpose of delivering video content. These days a cell phone gets you more entertainment than the combined programming of all broadcasters in a market and everyone has a phone/tablet...part of the cost of living in the modern world.

Allowing large collections of TV licenses to be held is, in this day, a leveling of the playing field from my point of view. We've had DirecTV and Dish, Comcast and Cox, all national footprint content distributors, for decades now. I don't see much of a difference between a Comcast and a Sinclair anymore.

If you wanted to really be fair, you'd subject companies that hold more than a certain national percentage of broadcast licenses to the same standards that are applied to a common communications carrier, maybe?

Not sure how quickly 3rd-party parts will be available or if they'll work the same. A lot of the issues with Deere equipment is in the distributed nature of the software. Lots of sensors and actuators run Deere-owned software. Even if the part OEM branches out and sells directly to consumers (which is not likely as I bet most of the sourcing contracts are exclusive to Deere...no direct sales of Deere-designed parts) the software loads are still going be under copyright.

It's one thing to crank out monkey-copy taillight lenses. It's a whole different thing to do that to LIDAR/RADAR assemblies that automatically adjust cutting heads to follow the ground contours.

Acronym collisions are unavoidable, but you're think someone would've done some research on MXC before going with it?

Care to explain the recent Starlink whitelisting event that locked most Russian terminals out of the network and arguably resulted in the collapse of a number of their offensive operations while giving Ukraine a large operational advantage?

You mean, like cPanel?

Don't even need Copyfail. The broken auth logic grants root itself.

Try running a C compiler on a pair of stringy floppies. I did that for a time on some QLs. You went about it the same way you'd go about compiling on a 2-floppy CP/M setup. Source, editor and compiler (with requisite header files) on one disk, linker and libraries on the other disk.

Louis: "Ah, we have zunk ze last of ze cursed Windows machine in the depths of the Siene, Capitaine!"
Jacques: "Very well. What do you use to look after our mighty fleet of Manchot?"
Louis: "Why, Intune, of course."
Jacques: "Sacre bleu!"

Some years ago we had a BBB server set up that interfaced with our Moodle implementation. BBB was (is?) a mishmash of OSS, including using FreePBX for media switching and compositing. If you're not familiar with WebRTC, SIP and the plumbing behind that then it can be a bear to troubleshoot. It think that's one reason why it doesn't have the following of, say, Discord.

We ended up going with Zoom later on as it was cheap at the time and the end-users took to it like ducks to water. Now we're looking at other options because Zoom got caught up in the whole AI thing.

Wouldn't THAT be a hoot? Starlink also being a secret ABM system, with the orbital vehicles sacrificing themselves to fill their orbits with clouds of debris to intercept missiles in mid-flight...

C has had the "unsafe" declarator since its inception. It's very easy to see: if the file name ends in ".c", you know you're looking at potentially unsafe code and should be careful.
