Intel is a near monopoly and it controls the physical hardware that runs the entire universe with the exception of mobile devices and embedded.
If you’re going to break anyone up that’s who I would go for first but because of the pipe dream of making computer chips in 'Murica these idiot politicians keep propping up Intel’s Wall Street investors while its employees get fucked over.
At the very least the x86 duopoly has to end. It’s not only legal but kept the way it is because of legal contracts. The courts need to declare them void because their enforcement leads to the violation of antitrust laws.
So they’re breaking up Google but giving Intel more free money after it cut 15k jobs?
OS and embedded dev here. I use assembly all the time. I’ve even worked on firmware that was entirely in assembly of strict requirements that couldn’t be met in C.
Also even machine code hides a lot about how the underlying machine works so if you really want to do computing from scratch you really do hate to invent the universe because there’s abstractions all the way up the hardware stack just like there is in software.
The Social Dilemma
Ironic, I know.
Just buy Nvidia DGX machines and make your own AWS.
When the RTX 9090 Ti comes, anyone who can afford it will be able to run it.
Dooku purposely went easy because his goal was to get captured and then freed during Order 66. He was quite surprised when the chancellor told Anakin to kill him.
Dies to the weakest sith in the entire saga.
Apple
Yeah, using TOR seems to work. But I don’t really want to use Reddit anymore.
I got a lifetime ban on all accounts for no reason. It made me want to use a platform that isn’t corporate controlled. Lemmy fit the bill. No power tripping mod can ban you from all of Lemmy. At most you get kicked off their instance which is fine.
I also generally hate corporations and capitalism so using non-corporate alternatives is always nice.
If you accidentally go over 2 hours, though, then you’re stuck with it.
10 that I know of.
I categorically refuse to use anything made by Apple.
The hard part isn’t reading assembly. The hard part is figuring out why it’s doing what it’s doing with no comments or function names or anything useful to help.
This is like saying if you can read English you can understand an advanced math or physics paper written in English without having any knowledge or context of those subjects.
Raspberry Pi OS is made to be easy enough for kids. It’s literally point and click. There’s nothing to learn. And Raspberry Pis can be much cheaper than that. You can get a Pi 4 2GB for $40.
It takes a little getting used to but once you do it’s very comfy. And you can watch content from anywhere that supports viewing in a browser or Linux desktop app including some swashbuckling ones. Lol.
The good ending…
This is why I use Fedora for everything except gaming and MS Office.
