So...
...if all of Arm is listed does that not mean in one large whack, Nvidia can just try and buy all the shares or at least a controlling amount?

I can't remember the exact details, there is a video of it on YouTube. Where they asked a young Alan Sugar in the 80s why he makes all his electronics abroad and has them shipped in. He moaned about tax. I think he said if its made in the UK the electronics get taxed but if he makes it abroad and imports it, there is no tax on it. I think that's the same issue.
and the problem is targets. A region will get "targets" to meet and sadly, its been drummed into the culture to just fake them. Been a video recently do the rounds showing a queue for Covid tests due to their stupid zero Covid policy. And the lady doing the tests can clearly been seen faking tests because she has to "meet targets".
Lets hope they aren't doing the same with the plane tests.
Its not the people of China that are the issue, it's the CCP that we all have an issue with, and Xi being as bad as Mao.
It's not xenophobia to point out Xi is an arsehole to his own people, other races in China and most of all the Japanese. Xi and the CCP claim xenophobia and racism when anyone outside of China questions them. No one wants to be called a racist so, in a small way, it works for them.
The point is still valid, the CCP is notorious for stealing other tech and lying about statistics. So where are you getting the safety record figures from? Especially if they are only internal flights? Don't say the CCP because then we know they are bullshit. Its the same bullshit that "China has ended poverty". That China will be carbon neutral but 2060 (they are the biggest miners and burners of coal. Having opened even more massive coal mines).
No doubt the wumao's will come along and downvote this more.
Diversity is good but its never good for box-ticking reasons. If a person is going to be shit in the job based on their race/colour/gender than picking them just based on that because you have to meet diversity targets is a bad reason to pick the person.
coughbullshitcough
Nothing can be believed that comes out of China as "research". Not only that but they banned Twitter so why is that guy on Twitter. The CCP is full of double standards. Ban Tweet for its own people who seek the truth, but exploit western social media for their own bullshit propoganda.
Just had a thought about what possibly gives away all these "leaks" over the years for kit as being fake.
Way back when, during Star Trek Next Generation a crew member and his mate broke onto the set after filming for the day (they claim the fire door was left open so didn't technically break in) they were trying to make their own behind the scenes documentary. Instead they moved props about, broke the claim shell table in sick bay and delayed filming the next day, due to having moved props about. Then in 2007 after the tape had been passed around it was finally on YouTube. Eventually, at some point CBS or Paramount had it taken down & continued to do so every time it popped up.
So if these were really "leaks" you expect said companies to fire off loads of take down notices which they never do.
I dislike Apple and I, even more, dislike Steve Jobs but I'll give you that. When Apple was on brink of collapse and he came back. He got rid of all the stupid names like (making these up as can't remember) Apple IC2.4, Apple IC2.6, Apple IC 3, Apple Dome 1.6 for all their PC builds that were coming or already out. And just simplified it all which made a lot more sense.
Can we do the same for the blood donar people. During Covid I apparently had it but had no symptoms so was asked to give plasma. So I did. Got there and they couldn't get it (apparently not possible on everyone) so I went home. They then kept emailing me to give blood and every time I unsubscribe but a month or so later I get another fucking email from them. So despite saying they have removed you from their mailing list, they fucking aren't.
I remember way back in early 2018 I may or may not have been staying at coughPullman London St Pancrascough.
Bored in the room I started to sniff the WIFI. Fuck me! Everything was wide open! I could see all other devices as no WIFI isolation was on. I could see, what I assumed was the PCs down in reception that people staying in the hotel could use. Worst still I found an old server available that had the controls to what, if I remember right, appeared to be a heating system.
I mentioned this to them on Twitter while I sat in my room, they'd have ignored it otherwise with just an e-mail. Granted, by the end of that day or the next it had been locked down more than it had been. Sadly, my limits were reached but if I knew more I probably could of gone further and found more holes.
I would of mentioned my room number in the hope I'd get the room free for helping. But I suspect I would of gotten kicked out instead.
We'll all be made to work like China now as she appears to think we don't work hard enough and should work "more like China". She appears to not understand that China is the way it is because Winnie the Pooh loves to use slave labour.
So expect longer hours at work, no more unions as she'll make them illegal and no more workers rights. Extreme? Yes, but then she is shit & still thinks Bojo is great.
We have a large section at work who we haven't moved over to MFA all because the original head of service (quite rightly) wanted to get them using IT kit first. She new if we turned MFA on for them they'd just find it so annoying they'd not use the kit. Passwords would be set for them and never handed over. But now we're gonna have to force MFA on for them. They've had enough time to get use to the kit but no doubt, some will still moan.
This will be a little pointless post as I have no link but I do know, from watching an old episode of Defrag tools, Andrew Richards would show how to modify the right click menu's. There is a place in the registry for it. I'm assuming it would still work on Windows 11.
EDIT: Found one of his posts

There isn't one!?!?!?!?! Saves me spending hours searching for one then. I was going to push it out as the amount of comments I've had "Why are my icons now in the centre". Wasn't my fault, I wasn't the one who decided to fucking push out Windows 11 untested in our environment.
Mark my words. Some poncey "artist" WILL generate several of these "art works" and then display them in a gallery in London or other big city and sell them for lots of money to poncey rich people.
Much like Richard Prince did with people's Instagram posts. Just copied them and sold them as his own work and got away with it.
This is why I dislike the art world. In school I was a copy artist. Would copy drawings freehand but never make out they were my own work. This was back in the 80s-90s. During one art lesson we were talking about this issue with the art world & in fact Mark Gattis said this on the Richard Herring podcast recently "Who decides that someone's childish scrawl is worth millions and another childish scrawl is just a childish scrawl?". During our lesson we told the teacher our work was the work of one of the art teachers she liked and his work was ours. She said his work wasn't very good (thinking it was ours) and that our work was really good (thinking it was his). It proved our point.
There are people on YouTube I see who can do almost photo quality pencil work but make no money. My girlfriend's cousin can do near photo quality pencil work but makes no money. Yet a poncy "artist" in London can draw colour boxes and make millions. Then we have Bankys. Blek le Rat was doing VERY similar work but never made it big, Bankys seemed to essentially copy most his work and makes millions from it.
just NO! If you are in the UK, most people moan when we get pushed to a foreign call centre. Rightly or wrongly this is just the mentality of us. We want an English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish call handler just because we then feel they can relate. Having said that when I had issues with PayPal many years ago I got better service from the Malaysian call handler than the rude Irish guy that answered earlier in the day.
But anyway the point is EVERYONE hates the automated call handlers. So much so I always swear at it telling it to put me through to a human. Knowing the more I rant with garbage, the more it won't understand the quicker it is to put me through to a call handler.
I was amazed in the late 80s in the UK when we got LED displays at bus stops in London. No more having to look at the useless time table that was sometimes posted in the little window on the post. Now while waiting for the bus I could see from the display when the next one was. Eventually realising it was sometimes quicker for me to walk the mile home than wait for the bus. And a lot of the time I made it a game, see if I could beat the bus home :)
The amount of up votes is really concerning. These are the people that will be running round with pitch forks with no evidence. The same people that would be shouting "She's a witch, she's a witch, drown her" then she survives so they shout louder "See, she MUST be a witch. Burn her".
The current down voter is probably the same type of person that would of done what was done to Bijan Ebrahimi
"Bijan Ebrahimi, 44, had taken a series of photographs of local youths attacking his hanging baskets and intended to hand the images to police as evidence.
But someone saw him with the camera and told police that Ebrahimi, who was registered disabled and couldn't work, had taken pictures of children.
Officers took him away for questioning and as Ebrahimi left his council maisonette in Bristol residents began chanting: "Paedo, paedo"."
So if we take this example and look at the original OPs statement. He's pretty much done the same "Neighbour , who I already think is creepy has put up a ring door bell. So he must be doing it for creepy reasons because the house opposite happens to have 2 girls living in it. If the "creepy" neighbour was a woman, I wouldn't think the ring door bell position was creepy. I'll go tell everyone he's creepy with no evidence. Someone will hopefully report it to the police, he'll be taken in for questioning & found totally innocent but I'll still continue to shout he's creepy and got questioned by the police and potentially ruin his life if everyone listens to my bullshit".
