    And on the same day intel release the Core Ultra 200 series with a massive 13 TOPS!

    I don't care about any of that but great way to shoot yourself in the foot again Intel.

    Flavor of the week

    I'm old enough to remember when the internet kicked off and every piece of software suddenly had to have some sort of 'web' functionality. During the DotCom boom, every company needed an online services product. Now every EV comes with flush electric door handles and a sunroof, neither of which I want on a car. There isn't the "killer app" that goes beyond frippery. With cars, AC as standard makes sense. With computers, the scroll-wheel mouse and built-in spell checking.

    I expect that there will be come application of AI that will be very useful for certain things, but there will be a lot of dead bodies companies on the trail leading to it will have left behind along with piles of ashes that used to be large sums of money. Fire, Aim, Ready.

      More likely, it will be like cars: sooner than you would like it will be impossible to buy one with a manual transmission and without a permanent internet connection in support of various "smart" features, but really there for the surveillance and post-sales monetization. Just like TVs.

        There's a decent enough reason for the death of the manual transmission at least. It doesn't work too well with proper (not this "mild" nonsense) hybrids, and electric vehicles don't have gears at all.

        The connected nonsense is exactly that, though. I know someone with a new RAV4 who gets a big reminder that they should sign up to Toyota's connected services every time they turn the car on.

    Yay "market forces"

    Witness the true meaning (take what you are given, suckers) of "customer demand".
