I predict if the US can make better chips than Taiwan and can fulfill domestic production itself, Taiwan will shift from an asset to a burden and the US would stop caring nearly as much. The rhetoric will stay approximately the same, but I doubt the US would go to war at that point for Taiwan.
It’d be better just to require blind trusts. The trust has a fiduciary duty to invest their money well, and the politician can write a letter requesting a certain high-level investment strategy prior to the start of their term (ie, primarily large cap, primarily bonds, high/low risk tolerance). If they want they can add or remove money as USD during their term and they’ll get back whatever’s left at the end.
Limiting acceleration could also be a safety issue in certain scenarios
A Mac has the unique capability of running fully licensed and supported macOS and iOS. Plus it can run Window, Linux, and Android, just like everything else.
How do you only allow parent connectivity without allowing most everything else? Would this require schools to build an app specifically for them to allow through and make parents and kids use that? It sounds awful for everyone involved. A mildly determined and clever kid would probably be able to figure out how to circumvent the censorship anyways, and now you’re back at square one but with a bunch of useless infrastructure to maintain.
On an ATX motherboard maybe, but there would be no space on a laptop or ITX board.
Because it’s true. Soldering the memory right next to the CPU allows us to run the memory at a lower voltage and faster clock rate, while getting lower latency too. The LPDDR4/5X are designed based around these improvements. GPUs have been doing this forever too for the same reasons. It’s a huge upgrade in every way except upgradability, which is effectively eliminated.
Yes, but statistically it’ll be caught during the return or warranty period, and then RAM failures are extremely rare after that.
It’s piracy, distributing copyrighted works against the terms of its license. I agree stealing is not really the right word.
Solder doesn’t increase performance (the memory is soldered to something regardless, either the main board or an expansion board), but shorter physical distances mean lower latency and less power to transmit the same data. LPDDR4/5X are designed to take advantage of this additional efficiency.
Microsoft supports 32 bit processors still with windows 10. They died out because it was becoming clear that 4GB of memory wasn’t going to be enough for applications, and the low margins on budget chips didn’t warrant maintaining 32 bit designs when the 64 bit versions would do and could still run the 32 bit software.
