How did he plan to do that? By killing all hungry people?

If you impose export controls on the BCM2837 (core used by Raspberry Pi 3), you’ll just get drop-in Chinese replacements like AllWinner H616 and RockChip RK3288.

It’s not that likely they’re using Pi 4 or Pi 5 SoCs because there’s a supply crunch there (28nm and 16nm respectively and both use LPDDR4) and there’s plenty of BCM2835-BCM2837 in old stock + they use a 40nm process that’s much less crowded than the current SoC silicon market.

Anything older than BCM2837 in the Pi lineup would not have enough performance for MV.

I swear microSD is only marginally better than DVD-RW

Fuck land mines. All my homies hate land mines.

American Kitchen Nightmares is unwatchable but the UK one is quite funny.

Partly also due to weird censorship rules and sycophancy.

I don’t pull the lever so there’s no witnesses.

I don’t think Bertazzo died “mid-flight”

I found my AliExpress stuff to be more reliable than my Amazon stuff.

Isn’t Windows 11 majority written by AI in the past year?

It won’t stop anyone buying or importing innocuous machinery parts like 2020 aluminium extrusions or GT2 belts either. There are mature generic 3D printer designs out there that outperforms RepRap i3 bedslingers.

E.g. https://vorondesign.com/voron2.4

That just sounds like twitch without any parasocial relationships or community.

Are you pointing to a price-performance degradation or a measurable degradation on hardware with all other factors controlled? The latter doesn’t exist.

All the SEO slop that appears similar to your link (that I’m definitely not clicking) are for PC builders and nobody is making these outrageous claims for server builders.

There are workloads that demand a higher memory-to-compute ratio than others. Web server? Throw them a bone sure. But they mainly want computing power. Big database? Can’t have enough, and can’t have them fast enough. Especially when a single index can be multiple gigabytes big.

They accelerate emerging standards like USB 4 and UMA that’s being used by other parties now.

I am no fanboy but I can’t point to hardware or privacy-centric innovations from any other FAANG without Apple’s involvement.

I’ve just started blocking SEO slop while using ddg on my main computer. Makes my life easier if it’s just DigitalOcean blogs rather than geeksforgeeks or linuxvox. The latter being full-on ai slop. At least DO/Vultr/whatever actually bothers with content quality because it’s their PaaS.

Isn’t this just a bailout?

I find it quite hard to believe it would be able to detect innocuous, dual-use, off the shelf components spread out over a dozen prints.

Even US export controls can’t prevent that, only delay and cause irritation.

Oh lovely. Is this the funeral to democracy y’all been hyping up?

They’re slowly becoming the necessary evil in this day and age. At least they’re not Meta, Google, Anthropic, OpenAI / Microsoft, or Amazon.
