quote:Brian Krzanich resigned as the CEO of Intel after violating the company’s non-fraternization policy content warning: sex crimes this is obviously bullshit. he probably refused to step down until the board played dirty and brought up his bi-curious-and-curiouser fling with michael who runs the company fitness program, or he like legit sexually harassed someone and agreed to a payout and resignation deal. it would be the absolute most wrong time in history to do this, but perhaps he's trying to save face by going out with the narrative that "i gotta resign for having an active sex life". but the press release said "consensual". there are two times when you use the term "consensual": firstly when you explain to your children or your sex-ed students that "sex is not where you lay on top of a girl and say 'come on... come on...' until you eventually penetrate them and nut. it's where you get a 'yes' and then bone, which makes it consensual". the second case where you use the term consensual is in a room containing a wealthy CEO, a dozen lawyers, and an emotionally conflicted woman holding either a cheque or instructions on how to receive a wire transfer. there are exceptions. like the time it wasn't a wealthy CEO, but the actor who played Elmo, and instead of a woman with a cheque or wire transfer, it was a young boy with a suitcase full of watches and jewelry. don't look this up, it describes how many fingers went in where, at what age, and by which beloved childhood character. steve jobs parked his sports car in the handicapped parking spot, refused to support his daughter, and worst of all made his do-nothing lout of a beer-buddy, steve wozniak, become an employee and even co-founder, a clear conflict of interest because Wozniak was worthless. did they ever fire him? ok, once, sure, but not for violating company policy. they're CEO. they violate company policy everyday using CIA contacts who, through networks of front companies, will resort to anything to maim, kill or disrupt attempts by workers to improve working conditions or raise wages, not to mention the corporate espionage, corruption or reputation management (think marketing that's not officially connected to them; fake comments, fake news, etc) they oversee. TL;DR for the shareholder class to actually fire this guy he must have actually sexually harassed someone who was paid a settlement, or the shareholders just have no hope in this company, despite billions in profit, because everything has gone the other way. the idea that he resigned over taking two muffins from the breakfast layout in the cafeteria, or violating any rule that's meant for other folks hardly seems believable, especially given the mounting internal and external issues.

I bought a cheap ryzen laptop I didn’t really need just to stick it to Intel. Turns out it’s surprisingly hard to get Linux to run stable on these ryzen craptops!

r u ready to WALK posted:I bought a cheap ryzen laptop I didn’t really need just to stick it to Intel. that sucks. there are so many categories to support now. I don't really know, but Intel seems to do OK with laptops. Vega, for example, seems to do well in Mac software that uses OpenCL and Metal. AMD architectures for Xbox and Sony were obviously for low, and when released for desktop were a great value but not benchmark queens. some idiot rumour said "Vega was made for Apple and Navi is built for Xbox/Playstation next gen". if that's the case, AMD is leading the console release cycle, a great position. were it up to me, i'd keep the xbox one and ps4 around another 5+ years, but both companies are teasing new hardware already. Sony's E3 _never mentioned hardware_, for all we know all that mind-blowing poo poo was on Navi and will be PS5 games. after the huge reshuffle at Sony I thought maybe they'd ask nVideo or AMD for a Tegra-type chip to combat Nintendo Switch with a dual-purpose console. doesn't look like it with those demos.

when my friends and I burned CD's, we'd leave the computer alone so it didn't screw stuff up when hyper threading came out, that meant you could burn CD's and safely do other stuff i'm not really sure if this is true or just marketing

That has very little to do with the cpu, it was more about when we burned CDs back in the days it was done on windows 98 with a lovely VIA IDE bus controller, hard drives barely able to keep up and a cd recorder that didn't have the ability to recover from buffer underruns and each recordable cd was like $15 so you basically had to hold your breath until it was done writing or you ended up wasting a ton of money

Laslow posted:don't know why amd sold their stake in glofo. i guess tech is one of the few sectors where contract manufacturing isn't like printing money. glofo was spun off from amd and ibm because ibm no longer believed their jv partner was solvent. amd proceeded to sell off their entire stake little by little because they were, in fact, insolvent it was not some kind of bold strategic move, they just didn't have another choice global foundries and tsmc seem to do ok on their own w/out any design capabilities or design IP so plainly manufacturing still has some profit in it

this is why macs with scsi drives were way better for burning cds back in the day, no cpu overhead for general drive operations because the scsi controller did that. ide has always been garbage.

yeah manufacturing makes money, it is just too expensive for most companies to do and and also design chips on a scale that keeps the fabs running at a volume where it makes money. intel and samsung (and a liiiitle but of ibm) are the only companies that do manufacturing process research and also processor design anymore. memory is a bit of a different beast and some weird high margin processes like power transistors (eg nxp/freescale, infoneon, micron). vlsi / logic is just too expensive and you gotta make designs from everyone to keep your factory at capacity. intel is the only logic manufacturer that has enough volume to make (almost) exclusively their own designs. ibm just does process research shares that with glofo. glofo manufactures the ibm power line now, i think.
