This is good and bad. This showcases the importance of CrowdStrike. This is a short term blip but in the long run they will learn from this and prevent this type of an issue in the future. On the flip side, they have a huge target on their

You're comparing a 600W system (450W TDP GPU + 150W TDP Intel Core i9-13900KS) with a 90W chip (CPU, GPU & NPU combined). You don't see anything remotely problematic with that comparison?

Nothing fades into oblivion. The company is obligated to liquidate its assets which includes IP. This gives a big opportunity to build new products that may be more economically viable. This would not be possible if the company would be acq

What the actual f*ck is wrong with Boeing's management? After the MAX fiasco that left several hundreds dead, I would have expected the new management to be more cautious about safety issues. As a consumer, I feel the need to vote with

The marketing material is misleading / naive. Cops routinely ask for ids at traffic stop and take them to their vehicle to verify the driver details in their system. I would imagine they would do the same with digital id and therefore

Only M3 was made with this latest 3nm process. However, M1 and M2 were produced using N5 and N5P respectively. Samsung, Qualcomm, AMD all have access to 5nm processes. In fact Samsung fabs their own 5nm chips while AMD's 7000 series &#

Citations required. More importantly, Apple doesn't fab its own chips. TSMC does. Everyone has access to the same vendor. Similarly everyone has access to ARM cores. Yet somehow Apple managed to build an Intel/AMD competitor and o

You didn't work at Google. You CONTRACTED for Google. There is a BIG difference. Whenever someone claims they worked a company, the implicit assumption is that they were a FTE. I bet if you would've told people that you contracted
