I'm going to guess this is referring to using salvaged DRAM chips from defective products or something like that. Which is usually not that viable economically and possibly still isn't.

Intel is going to face very low demand for their own CPUs if the DRAM shortage goes for long. I wonder how hard it would be to retrofit and start making DRAM chips with their Intel 7 process?

You're thinking of something unrelated to political ideology.

You mean like election campaigns? Technically not related, true, but real related actions happen as a result of these elections all the same. Whether those actions are conservative themselves or not, they are part of the process of gaining and keeping power.

I wonder how much of the total dollar amount is related to fake Microsoft full-screen scam warnings. These things have been going for years. Remember when web sites used to be able to easily open pop-up windows with ads? Remember how quickly that stopped when browsers had better handling? Why has the same not been done for full-screen mode? End users do not know how to get out of these.

Amazon already does a lot with robotics in their warehouses. It's possible they wanted to buy just the brand name. It's also possible that it was worth it for some patent that should have never been granted. They do have a habit of buying up home automation companies and just doing very little with it. They have two brands that both have doorbells and security camera (Blink and Ring) and they don't even work together.

Every law should go under some sort of adversarial review. Even the most beneficial sounding law can have major unintended consequences or well-disguised intended ones. I do think that nationwide cell networks would not have been what they are today (in a good way) without TCA, but that's partly because we wouldn't have done any other regulation to create the roaming cooperation that would be needed.
