You don’t get the most valuable company by selling a SSD. So, yeah a new Mac of course.

Opens chrome on a 8GB Mac. Sees lifespan of SSD being reduced by 50%. After 2-3 years of heavy usage SSD starts to get errors. Apple solution: buy a new one. No wonder they are 2nd/3rd wealthiest company on the planet.

I wonder who is still surprised by all this. Convicted felon who wants to play the dictator with a projection of a space Laser…

Well I will sound like an old bore but throughout the nearly 20 years Firefox is out I never looked at anything else. Seen the rise and fall of Internet Explorer seeing the rise and fall of chrome.

Even Firefox in its dreadfully slow era (2010-2016) it did not made me change. And let me be clear Firefox is far from perfect. But for my use cases (privacy and security balance over certain conveniences) I would not change for any commercially backed Browser.

Moral of the story. It’s better to donate to Mozilla and enjoy the freedom of your browser than giving yourself in on the erratic behavior of the big tech companies.

You gotta be a special kind of sad to DDoS archive.org…

The fact that a single company is higher valued than the entire car market should ring all alarm bells. Because afaik is Mercedes already ahead of Tesla in regarding (autonomous) self driving. But don’t quote me on it.

I can already see it in front of me. "Your honor, I am sorry but I can come to court on May 17 because (looks at a little piece of paper) of the beautiful graduation of Barron. Looks confused to his lawyer and asking “who is Barron ?”

Scammers gotta be scammers. Those dollars don’t grow by themselves.

Waiting for tsla stock to go up now…

Well if the supreme Court will give presidents immunity prior November, so that Trump can participate, then Biden just has to order a hit on him. because, you know presidents are immune… Problem solved

Ladies and gentlemen, the party of law and order. We know who will be selected as the new supreme court judge soon…

This is evidence # 37586682 that all MAGA folks are Russian assets, doing their job to destroy the US from within. Because its textbook ruling as in Russia.

Forget about the hush money, this was far more a priority as it is related to national security. Now the thugs of this world know they have carte blanche with trump. This treasonous PoS should rot in a cell for this.

Or Jesus, since a heck alot of maga christians think he is the one

And yet another projection of what he truly wants himself. Only problem is. His Heinrich Himmler variant, MTG would lead the gazpacho…

Exactly and for chips you need very specific and advanced machinery which company like ASML makes, but those are banned. Now this is such a specific product that China is very very willing to get their hands on via hacks or espionage. And even if you get the information, you need the brains to get it build (which shouldn’t be a super big if a deal for them). Even if that works, building a Fab is not done in a year or 2. And even then, if you are able to bake chips, it’s not a given that it goes smooth from day one. So best case they are 5 years down the road.

Point it is, for this type of systems it will be easier to keep control over banwise. But as long as consumer grade gpu’s can do the AI tasks, it’s for China much easier to obtain via grey markets.ans thus very hard to enforce.

That’s neat but let’s assume the reseller is a middleman. You as company X sells to Y and Y sells to Z. Z has warm ties with the banned country. How do you want to prevent that. These countries build ways to circumvent it. Like banning Russian oil which gets sold to India and India sells it to Europe as an example. Good luck with that.

I mean with a will there is a way. Sure no direct delivery, but man ppl always find ways to circumvent these bans, wether you like it or not.

It’s clear this is a long in advanced supply chain attack. So this is for sure not a lone wolf thing. Parts of it were very thought through but just came comically to light.

Yes history shown the US has been doing naughty things revealed by Snowden but we can’t come to conclusions yet, since nothing is yet been proven (if it ever will be). Long story short blaming somebody (regardless who) makes no sense at this moment.

You have any source for this or is this your (robotic) trolling (algorithmic) opinion ?

You hit the nail on the head
