Being profitable means selling at a higher price, getting more needed cash to compete in the cpu tatami. If the cpu division falls, the whole intel will fall no matter how good these bussines units are. So selling profitable units might in the end save the company.

Comment You all don't understand. Let me explain (Score 1) 38

We live in a simulation. But not in an unattended simulation, God or whatever is in control of it, is observing us. Whenever we research and make discoveries, god introduces new laws of physics compatible with previous that scale down or up (universe) beyond our observations and comprehension of previous laws. That keeps us busy for a while, until new observation produces new data which we can use to explain how things work. As humanity advances in physics, new terrible and bigger weapons are produced. The day we discover the last pack of laws that god has ready for us, he'll trigger someone to start world war N leading to our extinction or a cosmological extinction event, so he can start over with a new civilization. We're just competing to get there in shorter time than previous and latter civilizations. Winners will have a good hood in paradise. Sadly we're going to be some of the worst, just see what a physicist earns vs a football star. .... Now prove me wrong.

True, but also There is little need to do anything about culture, leadership and managment when you have a monopoly and earnings are constant. In the long future it could destroy the company but historically Microsoft has been able to be afloat with the worse team, the worse products and the worse managment, only thanks to the Windows thing. Market dominance works better than good staff.

Comment Per data file request (Score 2) 51

For all of these data consent agreenments, the collector (totoya) should , in addition, have to show the blob of data gathered and issue a consent request to the customer for that and every data blob to share, indicating the nature of the data, timelapse of it and the receiver of the data. So let's say thay every year, Totoya asks the customer for a permission to send the collected data during that year.

Clearly your application needs 32Gb of RAM and it's your fault, not windows's, which doesn't run tens of processes in background doing things you didn't ask for, wasting resources.

Hey!!! I wasn't even running an application, I just wanted to boot and see the desktop, but the requirements needed for that evolve the same

You don't live in USA, yet you know more than US citizens. Who are you? God? Enlighten US with your incredible knowledge! Oh! You nothing more than a TV watcher who takes his opinion from the TV, but doesn't suffer US internal policy. That's why it is so easy for you to have such a strong opinion, you just need to believe what the media says... the same media that is owned by strong democrat party supporters

Comment Re:Used to use eBay, but AliExpress beats them now (Score 1) 87

Well. I don't know in other countries, but in mine, ebay charges a lot to sellers. Also, thantks to dishonest sellers who used to setup higher shipping costs to avoid fee over article price, now you pay a percentage of your sale including shipping costs (some products worth 5€ may get a shipping cost of 10 euros, you pay 11% of those 15 euros). Besides, there is a forced policy of paypal only payments movement. People has moved to other second hand sites where you are free to sell your article however you like, some of them also include integrated paying and shipping as an option, you can choose to pay/send with the site (extremely convenient and easy) or with another method agreeded with the buyer if you don't like website conditions _at__no_extra_cost, no comission, no fee for the website. 4 years back I was reluctant to abandon eBay for my photography obsession , I had bought a large collection of used gear since 2006 mostly in eBay, over 400 things between cameras and hi-fi. and sold about 250, Nowadays I rarely look eBay, it's dessert, And I've totally switche to others, and so have done many many people I've met online and physically. eBay is dead in Spain, and only some physical second hand shops keep listing used gear. It is only interesting for new local products, not even chinese gear you can find aliexpress or others.

Comment Re:Use Linux (Score 1) 169

Whenever, in any forum, either in spanish or english forum, some suggest to use Linux, the very first response I always see is "Linux is a mess to install/ I've been unable to install it, doesn't have hardware support" and alike. I'm starting to believe there is an army of volunteers ready to throw up the always effective "truth" about linux. They try their best (and succeed) to create an poor opinion about linux. Then In real world, linux installs like a breeze on regular hardware and delivers good performance with 0 spying and plenty of freedom to do what you can from the software it has available. GRanted some distros break here and there, but overall you can expect success and easy of use... except for those who always fail to install linux

AS an not american citizen, I find it astonishing that you see natural and trouble-less that the city has garbage and encampaments, then you say that there's some sort of propaganda.... As I see it, you're too brainwashed by the "california way of life", that you see normal to have homeless encampamnts full of garbage and you praise not to see needles from the garbage.

You sure I'm listening to propaganda??

Comment Re:And as for you seditionists... (Score -1, Troll) 240

The fact is that every Biden supporter, now uses the word "seditionist" against any non Biden supporter, to impose a unique view of politics and impose a ban on critizism or doubt about the flawed election process. And the reason for that is taken from the fact that 0.0002% of Trump supporters entered the Capitol without much violence, unlike BLM parties all around USA that have wreak havoc across the cities. You'll never see a more scripted people that those who vote Democrats. And, by the way, the election process in the USA is known for being extremely flawed, any country improves and updates the process while being totally observable and every voter has to identify himself... but asking for that in the US is now "seditionist". When the word "seditionist" gets no effect from beign used, your mental overlords, will come up with a new one, that you all repeat like clowns.
