It's easy to blame Intel but that was a joint venture with Micron and Intel. IMFlash out of Lehi Utah. Micron was every bit as responsible and if I remember right still holds most of the patents.

You could even make the case it was Micron that killed it because they dumped the entire thing on Intel and sold off the Lehi fab. Without Micron sharing manufacturing costs and with scaling difficulties lagging behind traditional NAND bit density improvements, Optane became financially unviable.

The way this is being described is asinine. You lose a master and you're fucked, lose a copy and you still have the master. It's like words don't mean anything to these people. Additionally, fuck the studio for not encrypting it or exercising any sort of security on it at all.

Pretty much everyone in this story is a moron

Comment Ford, too. (Score 2) 160

I bought a Ford F-150 XLT (the full-hybrid pickup) and was very disappointed to find that several of the features (Including Blue Cruise and navigation) were subscription-based with an initial free period of a year or so.

Other than that the vehicle is fantastic - but was very pricey when I bought it, so having to pay over and over for the features was a very annoying surprise. (They quit working rather than quit updating when the subscriptions run out.)
