It's also gross! I haven't checked to see if the situation's changed there since but when I was on Isla Bastimentos the diesel power plant was both disgusting to smell and irritating to hear.

That depends on the street density, but it was very practical even in 2012. Maps generally use up a few hundred MB to a few GB. I've been using this feature as long as Google Maps has had it.

That's the question, isn't it? Intel has made grandiose promises about three processes recently, and failed to make good on those promises for two of them.

That's why we wanted TSMC to build a fab here, and they did. If China invades Taiwan, then yes there will be significant disruption to markets, but at least it will still be possible to make top quality chips. Meanwhile TSMC's Taiwanese equipment will be destroyed and/or disabled so it cannot be used by China. By the time they reverse engineer what's left, it won't be current any more.

Yes, competition to AMD is needed, but competition isn't what Intel does, is it? Their dominance was based on crime and deliberately compromising the security of chips with OoO execution, not superior technology.

But is that a mistake? Odds are severely against ever being held accountable for that because most Democrats want to collect bribes, too. Meanwhile it got him tariff exemptions that helped Apple, while the tariffs harmed the competitors. (Kind of reminds one of America and WWII... It's the American way!)

You think being told to make a hard turn off the side of a bridge, or being sent to a completely wrong destination is good?

Holy fucking shit, the RDF is real. The CEO of Apple himself says it was a failure, which we already knew because he told people to use the competing solutions, and you disagree with him because you have to believe in the myth of Apple's competence. It's truly mind boggling.

Perhaps it's strictly true that "many" OSes use them, but the only popular OSes which ever did use them after boot were DOS and Windows 3.x. All the real PC OSes (plus Windows 9x, except in 16 bit compatibility mode) ignore the BIOS after they boot. The memory mapped for it may not be released, but it's also not accessed.

A gas furnace is about 75% efficient (or more, but let's be pessimistic) and a heat pump is about 300% efficient at best...

I'm very pro-solar, but people have to pay for that, including lots of battery...

And speaking of that, Nvidia's business is now 90% in the DC, so when someone says Apple is replacing them and then they say that they're only talking about portable devices, they reveal they have no clue what is happening in the market.

I already knew you don't know shit about cars, but some people here might not have known if you'd just pipe down. You're not doing yourself any favors.

Sure, if they can't get anyone to buy their shit, Leon will have SpaceX buy vehicles to keep the numbers up. Sales are guaranteed!

Vatican emissions are pretty low, except when they've chosen a new chief pedo protector, that process produces significant visible soot.

If only you and the other simplistic people like you would think about how serious the harm would be to all when the ecological system collapses, which is a significantly more serious consideration.

Excellently defensive response. I appreciate your support of my point, however typically unwitting.
