My favorite part about US monopolies is: Even when you think there's at-least two companies that own everything... Haha, no, fuck you, they're all in the same god-damn trench coat. Sell everything you own to survive and then rent from us permanently and forever, peasant.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

I've told this story before, but fortunately nobody reads anything I write. I used to work for Comcast, at their HQ in Philly, as a contractor writing mobile apps. One day my boss (from my contracting company) came by my cubicle and said we were going to meet with Time Warner Cable to discuss writing some apps for them. I started to put my coat on but my boss stopped me. We then rode the elevator up to the 16th floor of the Comcast Center where TWC had a suite of offices. This was shortly before the attempted merger between the two companies; I remain surprised that the FCC put the kibosh on it, since the two companies were already effectively merged. I guess sometimes the bribes just aren't big enough.
I wonder if the rich and powerful female CEOs have... hmm, I don't even know the male equivalent of "mistress", surely it isn't "master"...
I'm sure they sometimes cheat on their spouses, but do they ever get caught using their wealth and power just to get extra sex?
Toyboy is the term you're looking for
I don't believe it. Call me back when she cheats on her husband with a chinese honeypot.
I thought this was already widely known lol
Did he bang her too?
Roll Tide (RTX ON)!
That's just him in drag, isn't it?
hmmm ... may be you are on to something ... has anyone ever seen them in the same room at the same time? ;)
This is like when Darlynne Graham ran for Senate
Well, yeah. There's a reason AMD doesn't compete on the high end for graphics cards and it's not that they don't know how. Jensen even straight up said in an interview that they don't compete.
They're not even remotely trying to hide it.
They did compete for years and years. AMD wasn't selling enough high-end cars to make it worth it.
Would be wild if she hires him to AMD!
Wouldn't surprise me at this point
She's also been screwing us over so i guess it's time to check who she's been fucking.
Also, every major CPU manufacturer does (or at least attempts to do) business with Israel. Calling for a boycott on one just generates shareholder value for the other. Buy used, people. Ideally.
Buy used, people
Buying used people is how the Israelis do it
That's where I got my Ryzen 9 / XFX 9070 build. Just shop carefully and you're golden, the thing goes like greased lightning through a goose out of hell
Just shop carefully and you’re golden
I mean, easier said than done. There's a ton of scammers preying on the secondary market.
Something from MediaTek I guess? Except it can't be the rtx spark...
Although I suppose google gets a cut from Chromebook sales... But Microsoft would also get a cut from any windows laptop
I guess a Pinebook Pro then? Or maybe this thing? https://store.metacomputing.io/products/metacomputing-aipc?variant=50604798574898
"AI PC" with "Framework" lol; for your information, the list I linked also lists Framework
I think a company sending free laptops to one racist who develops a Linux distro, while it is bad and generally a bad sign, is a very different scale of evil than supporting in the process of bombing and mass surveilling a bunch of people, which is what Microsoft, Google, AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, etc are doing
Also "ai PC" just means it has an npu lol
What are you doing step-CEO?
Stepping down as CEO.
With a generous severance package, I presume?
Replace CEO with feudal nobilty and suddently it looks straight outta a medieval story
I tell people all the time, feudalism never really went away, it just became capitalism. Folks try to argue and I’m like “so did you or anyone you know pay any rent to a landlord lately? Interesting word, lord.”
feudalism never really went away
Eh. There's a real difference between an intergenerational perpetual land endowment and a couple of cousins who got rich in the same high growth industry at the same time.
Capitalism killed feudalism, often in the literal sense. A bunch of the folks dropping guillotine blades on French nobles' heads were members of the bourgeois.
Not a defense of Capitalism here, but that's a bit off base from what the concepts are.
What you are talking about is general hierarchy of power with large disparities and concentration of power. Both systems are characterized by them. However, Capitalism by definition rejects the fundamental rules that make up Feudal systems.
It's a big club and you're not in it.

That is probably usually a really insufferable family reunion for their other cousin. Might be a bit more entertaining this year though.
Now I wonder why AMD has better Linux drivers then Nvidia.
Cause they have been open source for longer.
Nvidia is mostly not open source,AMD is (or was?) both.
Maybe because AMD has a lower marketshare than nvidia and having open source drivers is one way to differentiate themselves from nvidia and to have a USP.

Even more damning: Jensen Huang used to work at AMD as an engineer, before he became a finance bro.
