Fwiw, CPUs/GPUs use 128bit wide buses (eg 4060, I think) and wider. So you're kinda there already.

64-bit here refers to the size of the general purpose registers; but wider (larger) registers are common too in chips that are still referred to as x86_64.

    What I don't get is people will say "pizza is too hard, i'm going back to Lasagne [to get my fix of tomato]" but they don't make their own Lasagne, they get it delivered (analogy is breaking down at this point).

    So, they should just ask their delivery guy (computer installer) to get the sauce and put it on their pizza (computer), or they should buy a pizza (computer with linux on) just like they bought the lasagne (computer with Windows OS on).

    Just so you know, they didn't provide a straw man argument (which is necessarily a weakened position[hence straw]), they provided a statement of fact. Source: degree study in logic and philosophy.

    You could respond that you found the fact irrelevant, but it seemed apposite and insightful to me.

    I knew pedantic idiots like you would conflate the word “generic” with with the legal term “generic trademark.”

    You mean people who know trade mark law would challenge your incorrect use of generic. There's no such thing as a "generic trademark", fwiw, though I realise you're unwilling to learn.

    I can’t open a shop at the State Fair and trademark “turkey legs” because I’m selling shoes that look like turkey feet

    Yh, you've still got it wrong. You 100% can do this, because a trade mark applies in a trading category (except for 'famous' marks). So Apple Music can have a trade mark of "Apple" for selling goods in the music category (famously infringed by Apple Computers), etc., but cannot have a trade mark for selling things with the mark Apple that covers fruit sales, say; because "Apple" is not distinctive in that field of industry. Actually applications are in something called a Nice class (though AIUI there is a specific classification USPTO use that is narrower than the international Nice class).

    There's a close example to your "turkey leg" - for 6 years "ham hock" (ie pig leg) was a registered trade mark, https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-results/77579235. Why was it allowed? Well because it was for a board game, class 028, and so didn't stop people from selling actual ham hocks.

    I'm not 100% on trade marks in USA, but "confusion" in trade mark law usually has a specific test before the law that is not the same as merely requiring that consumers be confused. Like genericisation, confusion does not have its common meaning when discussing trade marks.

    Well, he doesn't have to be deposed, but then he doesn't have to continue with a frivolous lawsuit intended to attempt to intimidate foreign press.

    Lots of things he could do ... stop committing war crimes, stop stealing from USA citizens by front-running stocks, stop breaching the former Constitution, stop voter interference, stop using his private militia to murder people, ... you get the idea.

    This can't be real???

    Trump: 'Even though I have the resources to help you, and they're right here, if you were literally dying and I didn't need those resources at all, then I would just let you die.'

    MAGA: 'Woo! Yes please daddy.'

    Like, we know he doesn't care about his voters but seriously?
