I agree with criticism of not made anything… Yet.

Validation of advances will come with product availability, instead of press releases. We definitely need more computing related production with western supply chains all pivoting away from “normal computing”

This concept was started 3-5 years ago, when retail batteries where $500/kwh. They are now under $100/kwh. Concept is worthwhile for diversification of resources and talent.

did it update ubuntu base version?

edit: yes. this means support for deskflow (mouse sharing)

It’s by choice. Samsung did announce recently that they are going back to consumer ram production instead of trying to compete for low margin big contracts on current gen hbm. At half of current prices, ddr5 is more profitable than HBM even for hynix (leader).

was a decent post. A lot of time went into developing it, and @[email protected] 's link isn’t fluff, and better background of the project.

IMO, the pricing is an extortion scam rather than a real shortage. People are falling for it because of AI hype narrative. Best to wait it out.

Not on Alibaba today. Even if they need to bin many at slower speed, it could help with memory market. Needs actual production instead of press releases.

it appears decision upheld the right to privacy, even though some, perhaps dissenting, judges and prosecutor made the headline’s argument.

Estonia just sentenced a political activist to 14 years for treason for challenging the EU’s collective suicidal warmongering Russophobia propaganda. Political parties that are against NATO are being persecuted, and having election results overturned with a ban of the winners, even while “legitimate right wing parties” adopt racists laws that were part of the “illegitimate right wing party” platform.

If you have a view that your ruling establishment could have better policies, you are a threat to them. Because you have a good idea. Having nothing to hide means accepting the full supremacy of the establishment, which also means full acceptance of any corruption or mere unoptimalies. The US, with the highest pretenses of free speech, is openly targeting visas and citizens for sentiment against the new ultra fascist establishment.

You have everything to hide, if you’d like to do something right.

China has made massive breakthroughs. In chips, SMIC/Huawei are advancing impressively in terms of products, but it is unclear how good yields/costs are, even if they are shipping commercial products.

Still, this PR does give hints that this is Garage hacked EUV with cannibalized parts they cannot make yet, and 4 year time scale is far out enough. There was PR of EUV breakthrough this spring too, and don’t recall if this claim is additional advancement over that.

they’ll just blow their chip fabs

The US has said they will blow them up “for them”. TSMC is supportive of US puppetted militarist fascism in Taiwan, but has backfired a bit from Trump. Tarriffs on Taiwan, and more restrictions on Chinese operations. TSMC definitely wants to avoid war even if it likes politicians that hype up weapons gifts, but also independently subsidizes it.

War is going to depend on US dictated decoupling, that black market can’t get around. The fascists will have a hard time trusting US backing for the island, as Trump has been softer on China than Taiwan so far this year.

whatever price problem there is with some kinds of parts, it will be the same whether they’re sold as lose parts or as part of a device.

didn’t actually read the article, but the Micron/Crucial announcement was about leaving the DIY direct market, as opposed to not keeping supply deals with OEMs. Though new contracts with them will be higher.

it becomes too big to fail because 80% of the workforce is tied up in it

In 2008, banking sector and auto industry needed bailouts for the investor/financial class. Certainly, there was no need to layoff core banking employees, if government support was the last resort to keep the doors open AND gain controlling stake over future banking profitablity in a hopefully sustainable (low risk in addition to low climate/global destruction) fashion. The auto bailout did have harsher terms than the banking bailout, and recessions definitely harm the sector, but the bailouts were definitely focused on the executives/shareholders who have access to political friendships that result in gifts instead of truly needed lifelines, or wider redistribution of benefits from sustainable business.

The point, is that workforce is a “talking point” with no actual relevance in bailouts/too big to fail. That entire stock market wealth is concentrated in the sector, and that we have to all give them the rest of our money (and militarist backed surveillance freedom) or “China will win” at the only sector we pretend to have a competitive chance in, is why our establishment needs another “too big to fail moment”. We’ve started QE ahead of the crash this time.

Work force is relatively small in AI sector. Big construction, but relatively low operations employment. It displaces other hiring too.

It’s genuinely bad, even if entire universe isn’t affected. Shows sloppiness. Headline is too kind for implying this could be “some kind of design upgrade”, instead of FUBAR.

promoted as a response to President Lyndon B. Johnson’s war on poverty

US war on the poor has been consistently successful.

I don’t believe this, because it is too stupid. 2026 demand forecasts for HBM I don’t believe will materialize, as customers can’t pay those crazy RAM prices either, OpenAI can’t pay for all of their promises, demand isn’t high enough for the planned data centers, and power and labour constraints.

I don’t believe it because Micron is a brand that has value premium to it. Even if they just keep charging extortionist prices while HBM demand fantasy remains propagandized, there will eventually be worthwhile consumer demand for RAM, right? Killing the division and firing everyone in it, is Micron saying “making too much money from HBM must forever put all eggs in HBM basket”

You want 2-3 phones instead of a folding phone. Light pocketable phone for actual mobile purposes. Can get a data only esim phone with voip to supplement voice/text phone, and have independent enabled data. independent charging. Backup when broken/lost phone. I suggest:

1-2 lightweight phones for mobility.
1 large possibly rugged phone for video or rugged adventures. Can be steam deck on a stand that is better setup as a dashboard. email + web tickers/discord. samsung and other phones also have a “desktop multiwindow mode”
3rd phones, can help with having 2 separate phones act as bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. Keep banking/secret stuff seperate/more secure during travel. Keep one in a locked tilt/swivel stand near bed most of the time. mod to alternate os.

2 or 3 phones is much more storage/ram and audio quality than including a tablet, with better portability options in both packing and daily use. It’s also much less $, and can leapfrog upgrades.

There one of the minority of nations that are reducing emissions despite massive energy consumption growth

Mexico,UK and Australia have extensive fossil fuel resources/production. Though Australia is a global leader in solar policy that has permitted 0 electricity rates for a couple of hours per day. Mexico is extremely vulnerable to US oligarchist pressure, and UK is under direct US rulership. China should be part of the conference because it is the most economically capable of both delivering aid, and alternative energy production.

Every major EU market saw a decrease in petrol sales, led by France with a staggering 32.3% decrease and Germany with a 22.5% drop. The numbers make it clear: the era of fossil fuels ruling the new car market is effectively over.

That is the huge news. The share of BEV+PHEV was only 25.6%. There is a huge non-plug in hybrid segment in Europe. That is resulting in massive reductions of gasoline/diesel. But China has a 50%+ share of BEV+PHEV, and so headline might not be right other than October trends.
