My computer will become Google with this speed.

They have derivatives of certain chips for the Chinese market only. They must have clauses to pre-empt such actions.

For what? Usenet was something I used over 10 years ago and used NZBDaddy. Was about $1 to sign up. VPN and Torrents or using a Seedbox is current gen.

And exports from non US, or Taiwan Semi Conductors to the OEMs. Surely they have no jurisdiction, and contracts and purchase orders are probably in place until next gen 50x cards. It’s just a knee jerked reaction of being outdone. There will be no impact outside the gamer sat in second fiddle to the NSA getting first dibs. US market only.

Thank you 👍

Can someone summarise the story. God damn that was a long read and lost interest. What I gathered, Jimmy claimed a robbery of his bitcoins, who then transpired to be the robber?

That’s not free, and close to the cost of Netflix.

Broad catelog, but lacking in seeds for older episodes. Try watching Simpsons S04, E08 as an example. I can guarantee there will be no active seeds. It’s good for recently released content however, but will never be as good as legit services.

Pretty staggering statistic, offset by a disappointing lifespan for the entire project. Hopefully engineering in 35 years will have the best of both worlds. Bet you my electricity bill will still be high regardless 🤣

Depends what you like watching There are many streams for sports that are easily accessible/well known.

Better at what though. I think it’s all relative. I’ve had no set backs I can ever think of using my Pixels. Image processing I guess could be quicker, but is that really a deal breaker?

Thank you for sharing. Was not aware of this 👍

Why, what’s wrong with their chip - genuine question? Something can only get better through iterative design and refinement.

As a premium subscriber for many years, I and my family really get value. I do pay in UAH though.

Chrome does have a use, namely Selenium and automation.

I’m guilty of having Chrome on my PC, as I need to nerf over my favourites to Firefox.

Firefox is my browser of choice on my Google Pixel 7, but then again no doubt it makes little difference.

I just choose to use a VPN, so any targeted adverts are blocked regardless of the profile built up from my browsing habits.

No greed dictates inflated cost and consumers willing to pay ridiculous markups. Casing point is I’ve just purchased an Ebac product (made in the UK) and the cost is the same as an identical Meaco product made in China.

The sad fact, is as a consumer we’re not protected from such draconian downright middle-aged fuckery with the transparency of who ultimately makes your gismo.

Like food ingredients, every consumer item should clearly include the underlying manufacturer. Then as consumers we can then choose when it comes to purchasing and selectively have an impact by boycotting these companies.

Hon Hai Precision the parent company manufactures ~40% of all consumer electronics that make choice for certain products alternative (if ethically better) difficult. Hon Hai are on my DO NOT BUY.

Absolute shame on all involved including Apple for their lack of governance (note any action is always retrospective, never proactive) over their contractors. This ain’t the first time and will not be the last.

Any one of the three British companies pitching.

Oh yeah, and fuck Bill Gates ya lizard

Good. Now let’s put the tender to a BRITISH company. British pound paying a British company, with British jobs and tried and tested British engineers. Did I mention British?
