I am curious if we’ll find any actual evidence for TP-Link selling at a loss. Their devices are widely used due to their low cost even outside of the US.

And at least from the devices I’ve encountered, the price seemed to have reflected the product offering. You can find similar devices from competitors at somewhat comparable prices, but it would be reasonable to expect TP-Link to be better positioned in terms of pricing (on a relative basis for the “baseline” segment) considering they benefit from scale.

We need massive changes in global judicial approaches, criminal law, and rehabilitation programs where full asset seizure and multi decade community service (say as a live-in junior janitor in an infectious disease hospital) are applied for high level organized crime by oligarchs and their lackeys.

I can guarantee you that Lip-Bu Tan (and others like him) will show a lot more humility if such reforms are implemented.

Or better yet, it adds LEDs to your web browsing experience (in-page and inside PWAs) and the colours scheme is synchronized with your computer’s LED.

Also depends on which source we are discussing. Many YouTube channel owners do no not call themselves “influencers” and just focus on their domains and are very strict about sponserships (some don’t even accept sponsorships).

It downloads RAM for you, sells your browsing data to major gaming companies, helps you stay on top of your Twitch subs by disabling the ability to block web notifications.

You know, a gaming browser.

I agree with you, I may be even more cynical than you with respect to senior executives’ public statements and corporate PR.

I just don’t see a clear motive for the DDG CEO to inflate the valuation of Chrome. The examples you cite seem a bit far fetched (to me), I could be wrong of course.

That is a possibility.

However, I think in this particular case, the DDG CEO is better qualified than me or you to evaluate the value of Chrome. I can’t think of any reason for Weinberg to promote an inflated valuation for Chrome.

It’s not only about the brand, it’s about the installed base. You have hundreds of millions (billion plus?) of users who use your application every day for a wide variety of tasks.

Weinberg described his estimate as a “back-of-the-envelope” calculation, based on Chrome’s vast user base and global reach – a figure that far exceeds previous estimates, such as the $20 billion valuation offered by Bloomberg analyst Mandeep Singh last November. Weinberg added that such a price tag would be well beyond DuckDuckGo’s financial capabilities, remarking, “That’s out of DuckDuckGo’s price range.”

That topline figure is up 42 percent on the same period a year ago, and down about 11 percent from the corp’s all-time high of ₩19.767 trillion (nearly $14 billion) in the prior quarter.

$14 B of memory in one quarter alone. Companies have definitely been stockpiling parts like there is no tomorrow as a hedge against a new tariff policy. Also worth noting that half of the 2024Q4 quarter was before the US election.

Developer ericjenott says the system is designed to emulate an IBM XT computer with an 80186 processor and 1MB of RAM, although the actual processor is an ESP32 microcontroller.

It’s really too bad you can’t run Windows 3.1 on it. It requires at least a 286, but a 386 would probably be needed if you want to run games.

Is there any point to running Windows 3.0? It was way before my time, even with Windows 3.1, I first encountered it as kid in 95/96.

Pretty standard stuff. Let’s see how things go.

I’ve been surprised to learn that, in recent years, the most important KPI for many managers at Intel has been the size of their teams. Going forward, this will not be the case.

I am assuming this was an unofficial metric, team size couldn’t have been a formal KPI, could it?

Very interesting. Paradoxically, I am not too surprised that the takes are diametrically opposed, it can happen in very large companies.

Thanks for sharing.

With all due respect, this is a bit reductionist. Comparing a Windows 64GB eMMC laptop to the Intel B570 is arguably not a fair comparison.

Not everyone needs HDMI 2.1 though. There are many use cases where AMD or even an Intel B570 works fine.

There is in-app changelog (URL link?), I am assuming this update is not related to the new design.

The Chinese hardware giant yesterday launched “ThinkAgile HX Series GPT-in-a-Box solutions”, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) products that have the option to use its Neptune Core Module, a direct liquid cooling device that pipes cold water to a cold plate that sits atop a CPU.

GPT-in-a-box?

Barely ~10% uplift compared to RTX 4060 Ti 8GB.

This is a much needed update. While I like the functionality of F-Droid, the UI is unappealing.

I am shocked that one out of the recent string of massive sized technology investment initiatives highlighted by the current US administration has turned out to be lacking in specifics.
