It'll be US gov, military or Israel, since they make a load of chips there. The US government will not let intel fail.

I feel like that's just softening the eventual news blow for stock holders. How big of an order will a major customer want to commit to. Who wants to be guinea pig for a foundry that has been bad news for a decade+

Hindsight 20/20. Over invested in foundry capacity. Maybe should have started with less capacity and be happy building up with a bunch of lower volume customers to raise confidence with the big customers

Holy....

1/3 of the entire company....

Luckily, the service doesn't have the bandwidth for video or images. They could still use it for user tracking and text ads if it can get a signal indoors though.

I’m sure a big company like Samsung could get a bulk deal to put these in every one of their televisions to make sure the users don’t miss out on exciting new advertisements.

Wow, that's some expensive data plans. Let's hope you don't need more than a few KB of data.

What I would love is a newbie's guide on how to make these. I have enough experience with electronics and computers that I know I could make them, but I have no idea what the proper workflow would be to actually make them myself.

What software do I need? how do I use it? ? Do I need to buy individual components myself or can I get them assembled and shipped? Would I need any special tools or is just a soldering iron enough?

So this entire article is a beat-up in response to a single tweet:

There is no laptop. There is no potential laptop coming soon.

define American-made

I won't even pay full for the usual imprted parts PC. Always buy used, off-lease laptops cost trivial $$ and run great.

"*But not for gamers probably... That's a different world

wants to know if you'd spend 20% more for an American-made PC

Would I spend more if I could buy a product that paid people fairly, was ethically sourced, etc? Probably.

Would I spend any amount on a product that benefits Palmer Luckey? No.

Thanks, I normally don't comment without reading... I guess I got lazy...

Yes.

The article explains what he has worked on over the years.

I know nothing about this guy. Another asshole billionaire?

I put Palmer Luckey in the same category as Elon Musk: his company's products could be the best in the world, I wouldn't buy any so none of my hard earned ever reaches his pocket.

I had the longest dream this morning about shaving my dick and balls. Now I know where all the pubes went. It's like Nightmare on Elm Street but instead of Freddy attacking you with knife fingers it's my pubes growing on your face.

Honestly let them win big on the AI craze but at least don’t squeeze every penny out of gamers too.

Selling so much shovels AI chips to business that you no longer care for consumer GPU market

Quadruple prices of GPUs Marginal performance improvements gen over gen Complain no one spend $2000 on a 30% upgrade

What is this strategy called?

Weakening demand for an AI chip? You mean people are tired of AI slop getting shoved down their throats?! I'm shocked

looks neat!

None of them look very practical. There's lots of plexiglass that will get scratched up the first time you clean it and a major lack of drive bays.

What makes you think they will hire locals? Between automation and visa abuse they can bring in foreign workers.

Good luck finding skilled and cheap workforce among MAGA. Also that means the rest of the world will be getting cheaper and more chips from Taiwan?

Yeah RAID or NAS drives have something specific and are a little more per TB if I’m not mistaken.

Crazy that we also used to pay this price per GB and even MB at some point.
