That was a failure, but the first failure was not recognizing it wasn't ready for a research project either. When they realized it was going to have to be heavy and bulky, they should have stopped and either iterated the design again, or smarter IMO, waited for tech to improve (or push it) and then done another design. OTOH Apple can afford to lose the money...

What code they are based on is irrelevant. Slashdot still has a very simple interface (I am using it right now, it is still the best interface) which is easy for bots to interface to using the DOM. Whether it's Perl or C# or Ada underneath makes no difference.

The real question, therefore, is why are we still being subjected to this cowardly anonymous bullcrap? This management has turned off AC posting before, and you could say they turned it back on only because post counts tanked, but have you seen post counts recently? It's now horribly rare to break 100.

Slashdot needs a major overhaul, and I don't mean of the code though that will of course have to change. I mean specifically that mod abuse and AC trolling are driving away every serious poster. My thanks to those of you who still remain, but most of you post less and less, not that I blame you. I presume you're here less, too.

Here is where it is less clear. If it was an active investigation, then the authorities should have a warrant to search and seize. If it was a random stop, then there is more room for search and seizure. His detainment cannot be both a random stop and part of an investigation at the same time. Second search and seizure has to be related to the investigation. Apparently he was under investigation for "domestic terrorism" aka protesting but he was being searched for CASM material because no one should object to searching for that.

New plants for HBM will put downward pressure on HBM and by extension downward pressure on the costs making DRAM production more viable.

Your flawed assumption is that RAM companies will shift existing plants back to DDR5 when these plants are built. Considering that HBM is much more profitable than DDR5, why would RAM companies do that when they can just make more HBM?

HBM and DRAM production plants aren't dissimilar which is why it was so quick and easy to pivot existing facilities from one to another.

And you know this, how?
