It's all good. ;) I was getting ready to join you with my pitchfork, but I know someone who used to work there and was pretty confident they were US based.

What are you talking about??? Broadcom is an American company headquartered in Palo Alto, California. What are your sources for all of these claims? You might be thinking of a different company.

Yup... 6 months ago. I had a chocolate cake one in Canada that was really good. Then I tried some of their other stuff and it was all crap.

Lol great analogy. ...and people are willingly installing it. I'm still on 8.1 and will find a way to put it in a Linux VM, once I'm forced to. That's basically what happened to me. Plus, Linux would randomly update itself or something and randomly stop booting. Only real solution is a VM. 8's...

Excellent point. Also, people stop playing games after a few months to a few years. There are 90 year old movies that still get watched. Older movies are almost non-existent on streaming.

Amazon, Walmart and streaming services will be the winners here. I understand the convenience of streaming, but having the tech giants control what you see and hear is very short-sighted.

Thanks, but has anyone reviewed this command file that the short script executes? I don't have the 30-60 minutes to make sure that doesn't open a port or download something dangerous. It's either sketchy or they didn't host it on github for code review, because MS owns github (although why not...

You will be justified to know that the House (and soon Senate/President) reauthorized spying on Americans through warrantless FISA searches. Maybe you should think again about that mentality. Even if stolen, the police don't care about your $1500 phone, anyway.

Roughly coincides with the stimulus checks.

Lol's erek's title has me thinking "Hulk smash." Thanks for the entertainment. ;) Wow 61TB - hopefully they get the costs down. 25W for a hard drive is cooking.

intel has decades of technical expertise and billions in infrastructure that couldn't be replicated overnight, even if their patents were open source. Each chip and lith-tech is also more than one idea. Forget about patents - you're not building YOUR idea, because you don't have the tens of...

Doublespeak.

They do - physical media.

Same way China gets around our restrictions. Build a plant in Mexico (BYD), sell to US.

Realized that the chips said "Taiwan" and guessed right that the VSA-100 were made by TMSC. Kind of interesting that TMSC outlived 3Dfx and also manufactured NVidia's chips at the time - which is now the #3 largest company in the world. Wonder if they will outlive Nvidia? Also, I never knew...
