Plus Wintel on phones wasn't as power-efficient as the stream of new (then) ARM-based processors. If they could have modernized the Windows Mobile interface from the beginning to become closer to what the Lumia series showcased, it might have helped early adoption. But they were already late...

You say you want more manufacturing in the US, and yet you are actively trying to stop more manufacturing in the US. How many mouths can one have, to speak out of both sides so often. :rolleyes:

Just reinforces to me that cryptocurrency should be banned worldwide, with all of its resource-wasting and generally fraud & crime-serving outputs. I like blockchain tech, but cryptocurrency is just terrible.

First, China is NOT Taiwan (TSMC's HQ). The increase in tariffs were on Chinese exports. Second, the CHIPS act was passed before the current President took office. TSMC built plants in Arizona and Intel tried to build out more, before the new (old) President's newly announced tariffs...

If IFS could produce enough quantity and the client's usage is US-based, then it could be worth a bit more to the client to have local production (shipping, logistics, etc.). IFS really needs to get rolling, and it doesn't need its own PR people to say things that lessen them as first-look...

Well, make sure you don't have any vendor program that can silently update the firmware on your color laser. I've bought only lasers, at first because of the higher print quality. Also, lasers are so much cheaper to run long-term than an inkjet with their clogging printheads & ink cartridges...

China increases research spending, and the US pulls back funding for science research & even local chipmakers. So who's playing checkers while the other is playing chess?

Then you must have really been peeved at AT&T calling their 4G network "5Ge". :eek:;) Well, at least the dual-band model is priced the lowest. Those who might really care & actually need the 6GHz band, they'll know the difference between the base Eero 7 and the Pro/Max models. I do agree...

ASRock's Phantom Gaming mITX boards were usually ones that had the latest technology parts integrated onto the small mITX format, at a slightly cheaper price versus ones from MSI/Asus. It's why I usually purchased their boards. So now they've put the PG branding on this board, but without the...

The article clearly says the Eero Pro 7 is tri-band (2.4, 5, & 6GHz). Why do you say it doesn't have support for 6GHz?

So the speculation is for a new CEO who previously pulled GloFo off of advancing their process tech, and then made the company "profitable" again (no mention of the pandemic & how it boosted ALL chip companies). Yeah, that's NOT the best type of leader going forward for Intel. They need...

Yeah, I think Intel really lost major opportunities to ARM, especially in the mobile processor market. Instead of ARM becoming the default ISA, Intel could have continued investing more R&D into the ultra-low power market that mobile needed. They did low power successfully before with Pentium...

I think he hit the most salient point to Intel's dip - their lack of staying on the forefront of tech, like Gordon Moore was adamant in pursuing all those years. I'd posit that it's specifically setbacks in process tech advances that is the current cause of their woes. All of the "+" advances...

I like open "cases" (maybe I should use "frames" instead), especially for easy part swaps & easy airflow. But if I recall, it's also louder necessarily without having some sound reduction from "walls" around it. So I'd be okay with the Shift case for a testbed, but I don't think I'd made it...

Significant typo in the dimensions listed - "Nvidia's brand-new RTX 5090 Founders Edition graphics card is well within those specifications, featuring a length of 137mm, a height of 304mm, and a thickness of 40mm or two PCIe slots." Either the words "Length" and "height" should be swapped, or...
