Progress is always welcome, congrats to them for finally taking a step in the right direction in this regard.

What you say could be boiled down to:
If just everybody concentrated on making quality software for Windows, we could have much more quality software for Windows.

Your view is common but irrational.
The concept is described by Linus Torvalds as “Scratch your own itch”. The richness and diversity of Linux distros is a strength not a weakness.

If you want to make a Barbie themed distro you can. And if you want to, why should anyone try to prevent you?
If development was concentrated around fewer distros, it is far from a sure thing this development would go in the direction you would personally want. You would just have fewer options.

Freedom from EU regulation. 😋

Maybe they can make the claim, but I doubt it is legally binding for the customer.
The difference being that just making the claim may be illegal in EU.
We have way stronger consumer protection than USA, and as you state, you received the claim in USA.

The “cheaper to make” was the part that made it pretty good for its day.

No it didn’t, it was so slow it wasn’t faster than 8 bit CP/M systems at the time. The original PC had very little advantage from being 16 bit, and everybody else went directly from 8 to 32 bit. But IBM was bigger than everybody else combined back then, and their support and the arrival of cheaper clones, made it an industry standard disregarding the platform was horrible, but because it was well supported.

And with that performance advantage, why is it x86 continued to advance selling more and more units eventually becoming the standard for desktop and server computing? Market penetration.

I already wrote that Intel was protected by the Wintel monopoly, later when mobile became a much bigger market, that monopoly did NOT help Intel, And Intel spend as much as Arms entire revenue on pushing Atom for an entire decade, and even had the production advantage back then. And despite that Intel was not able to compete against Arm, on platforms like Android that actually had X86 compatibility.

Most of those architectures you mention were workstation, server, or mainframe class

No, Arm was in desktop, but the company did not have the clout to compete.
Motorola was in Macintosh, Atari and Amiga.
PowerPC was in Macintosh and Playstation 3.

That the others were workstation and server does not change that among them all, Intel was inferior in every way.

I don’t understand how you can argue a point that X86 was ever any good, have you ever tried programming assembly on it and on any of the competitors?
Have you ever compared systems from back then on how well they actually worked? For sure the PC was awful. AND MS-DOS was the worst OS in existence at the time.
With Microsoft copying CP/M but removing security features, that has made MS-DOS and Windows the least protected and easiest systems to infects with viruses, causing a decades long nightmare.

No matter how the inspection is performed, it should not be done without the customer present.
Also if the car is moved after the customer returned it, the damage could have happened while the car is moved. Or for other reasons after the customer returned the car.

I don’t see how an AI scanning or even a human evaluation at a later point in time can be legally binding?

I bet this shitshow doesn’t happen in EU, because I don’t think it would be legal here without the customer present.

x86 is an overly complicated dead-end.

I 100% agree.

It was great for its day,

No actually it never was. It was always a clumsy mess. The only reason IBM picked the X86, was because Intel also made the cut down i8088, that only had an 8 bit data-bus, which made the system easier and cheaper to make. And they also didn’t want it to be too powerful, so it could compete with more expensive IBM systems.
The X86 was excruciatingly slow compared to the competition. Even with the financial strength and developments Intel had available, it was still behind when Intel transitioned to 32 bit with the i80386.
The modest Arm with a tenth the transistors was 4-5 times faster than a full fledged 33 Mhz fully 32 bit 80386DX!
Motorola MC68000 In a Macintosh was about twice as fast at half the clock. And could do MIDI without problems, while the theoretically way more powerful i80386DX had problems executing the MIDI interrupts fast enough, even with extra fast ports installed for it!
Today X86 is considered pretty good on the desktop, because all the competition has disappeared. Alpha, Motorola, Sparc, MIPS, PowerPC.
X86 was never very good compared to any of those. It just enjoyed the benefit of the Wintel monopoly on desktop systems.

We got the worst OS with MS-Dos and later Windows, and we got the worst architecture with X86.

That was a stupid concept, I remember their videos with the french accent. Kudos to them for giving it a try though, but they tried to do too much.
Obviously what I wanted was for a proper company like Asus/MSI/Lenovo making a netbook based on Arm instead of Intel.
Or even a minor company making something sensible like the Intel based Asus Netbook that came out in 2007. Arm should have been out BEFORE intel, because they had better technology for it and Intel did not, and original Netbooks based on Linux were very popular. Popularity actually took a dive initially when Netbooks swtched to the phased out Windows XP. Because Windows sucked really really bad for netbook.

And I hoped a standard could arise for “desktop” Arm like existed for the PC standard. Texas Instruments announced it with Freescale, but nothing ever came of it, and AFAIK TI sold off Freescsale.

So no a proper Linux netbook was never made, that competed directly with X86 netbooks. Despite they could have had more than twice the battery life for the same performance. Why Arm never bothered to make such a standard, I will never understand.
And why such a standard remains missing in the market is also strange IMO?

Apple has shown that an Arm platform can be way superior to X86 on laptop. Still it’s crickets from the PC industry and Arm?

I Absolutely agree. But I didn’t even know that Intel took over StrongArm, I only remember hearing the name, but not what it was actually used for.
Funny because the Alpha ended up with Compaq/HP, who ended up killing the superior Alpha to pursue the giant failure that was Itanium.
The nu7mber of blunders were insane!

this ARM thing isn’t going anywhere

AFAIK Intel thought small devices meant low performance, and had to be cheap, so they thought the profit margins would be tiny.
It was such a humongous misreading of the market!

The Intel failure against Arm was obvious already with the OLPC, Intel made the netbook concept with Asus to compete against that on tiny laptops.
And they basically tried to muscle Arm out of the market with shenanigans like “supporting” projects that chose Intel over Arm.
But quickly when smartphones became a thing, it became obvious how bad the X86 Atom was, and X86 lost everything in mobile.

First they ignored ultra mobile, then they tried to move the concepts for higher end devices where Intel could better compete with for instance Netbook, and finally they tried to compete head on, and failed miserably.

I was so frustrated that I couldn’t get an Arm based laptop that could run Linux. It would have been amazing back in 2005.

Problem with Raja Koduri is that he did not deliver what he promised. Either when at AMD or when at Intel.

I agree, but you make false assumptions about my nationality, honey traps and baiting people into criminal acts are not legal police methods in my country, and police is way more trusted here than in USA.
Although the trust has declined for the past half century, incidentally also a period where police powers have been increased, and police budgets have decreased.
In the 70’s the view of police was overwhelmingly positive here, now it’s more like average.

USA however is a dystopia of legal hypocrisy and systemic injustice, and police overreaction due to incompetence.

The reason I never expected it to be sad, is that I thought if Intel was weakened it would open up for more competition instead of less. Much like when IBM lost the PC monopoly, it made room for many competitors.
So I think we are pretty much in the same corner with regard to wanting more competition. If Intel goes away, AMD will have a monopoly in the X86 market, and Arm will have a monopoly on mostly everything else except compute.
In that scenario I think AMD will lose, and we will have only Arm left as a major player for CPU/SOC, and Nvidia for AI.

I never thought I’d find it sad to see Intel struggle.
They’ve been leading production since Intel was founded in 1968, using the Noyce monolithic IC concept.
It’s hard to say exactly when Intel lost the lead, but I figure it was around 2018, and it’s so weird that with all the money and effort Intel has put into it, they still struggle so much to catch up!
Intel was always a bastion of strength, and even when hard pressed by the competition, they used to always come back, and dominate the competition.
That is until they first completely failed to compete against Arm on mobile, then they failed to keep up with TSMC on production, and finally they failed to keep up with AMD in basically all levels of X86.
Arm and AMD were 100% due to arrogance and lack of foresight, they could so easily have prevented both of those, but were absolutely demolished by their exclusive focus on highest possible profit margins, that they failed to improve their products in times when they had record profits.
But still they had an amazing run for almost exactly half a century, but I don’t think Intel can ever come back to their prior position.

This is so stupid IMO, police is an authority, and you should be able to trust them.
But they are allowed to set traps for you, and then they act surprised when people don’t trust them. 🙄

Probably because robotaxi is written on the side of it. Clearly a warning to other drivers, to avoid accidents.
It’s like having that “learner” sign most countries have on cars for people learning to drive.

Ha funny. I highly suspected this could happen when I heard they have quotas for how many changes the people training the AI make to the AI behavior. That’s a recipe for flooding the system with bad data.
No AI can be better than the info it is given, and if X is an indicator on that, it’s just about a certainty that Tesla AI will rot in misinformation.

I hope they win big, and bankrupt that disgusting woman.

These correlations are mediated through several factors, including social media access, cyberbullying, disrupted sleep, and poor family relationships

Funny how 3 items are very specific, but it is not stated what about social media is so harmful?
Also as Lembot_0004 state, I think targeted advertising could be a big factor, and in EU and many countries that’s illegal to do against children.

leading to symptoms in adulthood that are not the traditional mental health symptoms of depression and anxiety and can be missed by studies using standard screeners. These symptoms of increased aggression, detachment from reality and suicidal thoughts

Sounds like those symptoms would be pretty standard to test for in a mental health evaluation.

I can’t help but get the feeling that this study was designed by an interest group. It somehow doesn’t ring true to me. Although the conclusion is pretty much as most would probably expect.
But maybe that’s the problem? The study shows exactly what most prejudiced against young people having smartphones would expect, and that could be caused by a flawed study.

I don’t see any way this can go wrong. And even if it does, it’s dead easy to rehire talent. /s

Because she is such a role model who doesn’t give a shit:
