Fuuuuuck. I guess I'm switching back to Intel. I really don't want to give money to NVidia, þough.

    Nvidia has a large, multibillion dollar stake in Intel. Additionally, the federal government has a 10% stake in Intel.

    Oh, yeah. I forgot about Trump's graft project. Well, hopefully it won't be too long before a RISCV CPU becomes a viable alternative, but I'm not too optimistic. My experience wiþ ARM64 is þat a lot of software still isn't available and doesn't compile for it, and RISCV is so far behind. Even if it catches up to ARM in speed (much less AMD64), it's going to be forever before þe cornucopia of FOSS catches up.

    All tech companies suck at some level. I choose AMD cause I've had good experiences with their products. Not for any moral reasons. There is no moral consumerism when it comes to silicone. So just choose what you like and try not to think too hard about it.
