Samsung trumps USA's tariffs by making displays in Mexico, and elsewhere if needed

Honestly, all other countries should hold Trump to ransom by completely cutting off ALL trade to and from the United States until such time as Trump has left office and the Tariff situation has been returned to pre-trump times. Also include Tourism in that by preventing anyone travelling to the United States, and preventing anyone from the United States entering another country.

SiFive launches early access for Premier P550 RISC-V developer board

Don't want it. RAM not socketed. What's the point of it if you can't add more RAM if/when you need it? Seems a waste to have to swap an entire module just for more RAM.

Intel, AMD team with tech titans for x86 ISA overhaul

Re: Yep, pure fear...

You sir, need to step back and put down the keyboard for a while.

AMD is the reason we have x86-64 (AMD64), without it Intel would still be shilling that IA64 platform that was so horrible.

The ZEN processors have been fantastic and have had Intel sitting up taking notice for a while now.

Raspberry Pi 4 bugs throw wrench in the works for Fedora 41

Re: WTF ?

Me, what of it?

Astronomers back call for review of bonkers rule that means satellite swarms fly without environment checks

"But what if the same money had been spent laying fiber everywhere, especially if we consider the lifespan of a fiber cable around 40 years"

Yeah, this won't work in Outback Australia. You lay a fibre to some outback cattle station and you will NEVER recoup the costs to lay it. It costs $10,000 to have an NBN fibre laid up a single street. Extend that to a thousand or so Kilometres, and Starlink starts looking INCREDIBLY cheap!

Google trains a GenAI model to simulate Doom's game engine in real-ish time

Re: Ok, but why Doom ?

Because it's a meme at this point..

"Heh, can it run doom?"

Well it turns out on GenAI, YES, it can run doom.

Freighter bound for the ISS suffers engine abort

Not necessarily true. Crew Dragon has been flawless because they do it all in-house and not subcontract out critical flight software to lowest bidder companies in India

Malaysia is working on an internet 'kill switch', says minister

"Whilst in general Im against this sort of thing, I cant help feeling a targeted off switch against SM platforms might persuade FACEBOOK etc to behave themselves a little better.

It would also be worth it just to see the look on ELON MUSK'S face when one of his STUPID comments causes X to be shut down in the UK for 24hrs."

C'mon guy, you're an adult! Grow up and act like one. Facetwat, Xhitter.. Juvenile schoolyard crap.

LockBit brags: We'll leak thousands of SpaceX blueprints stolen from supplier

RIP LockBit

This is definitely one of those instances where the cybercrims have painted themselves a literal target on their backs. This kind of US tech is no joke, and WILL get you snuffed in a back alley.

Rambus takes charge of Arm’s CryptoCell, CryptoIsland IP

Trust hardware huh.

Their IP is worthless. I wouldn't trust RAMBUS for ANYTHING.
