Already switched to Linux… super happy with it.

No one mentioned smart = decent. But you can’t also assume Israeli = bad. Not everyone in Israel supports its government’s actions.

Imagine people elsewhere in the world assuming any random American = Nazi.

The point is that’s why Nvidia is setting up shop there. You know… the original story of this thread…

Anyway, one of the Nazi’s downfall was they kept designing better and better tanks, and that ultimately required more resources to build. While the US just basically kept spamming them with simple design tanks that doesn’t require as much to build.

Not defending Jensen or Israel, but want to point out that Israel has many good engineers - the Intel team that designed the Core/Core Duo/Core Quad and saved Intel from the Netburst (Pentium 4) architecture was from Israel.

They have smart people, but I definitely do not agree with their government’s actions.

Shows the importance of having a proper primary process. Biden fucked up and dropped out of the race way too late for any democratic candidate to have time to build up hype and momentum. Just being the VP shouldn’t make one an automatic default candidate. Harris did pretty bad during the Primary back in 2020, she just was not popular and didn’t inspire enough people to go vote.

Yep, it works fine for my day to day stuff. And runs many games just fine. I still run my Ivy Bridge Xeon CPU (bought for cheap years ago). Pair a X79 chipset, Xeon with quad channel memory, and say an Arc A770. You can do many modern tasks and games just fine. And for cheap.

China has 4x the population of the US. It should have 4x the GDP of the US to be truly equivalent.

TSMC was never a card. China has been wanting Taiwan since before TSMC exists. Taiwan is in a strategic geographic location that makes it difficult to project its navy. It’s the same reason the US controls Hawaii, Midway, Guam, and many other seemingly useless pacific islands in the middle of nowhere.

So its more than just about burger and fries… I knew it…

Same, running a E5 2697 v4 (18C/36T) (Broadwell) that I bought used about 2 years ago. Also have a server running Ivy Bridge CPU.

I don’t game much, but this CPU is perfect for productivity type of work.

Damn, Modi can redeem himself by just doing it again, but this time, stick a dagger in Putin’s back!
