  • Investment… It’s a bit too simple to just say money, but investment wraps it up better. Chips may not be open source, but they are physically there to be taken apart and reproduced. That’s what a lot of those Chinese knockoff chips are (baring the ones where the designs are outright stolen). The only thing that stops you from doing the same thing as those bootleg fabs is being willing to soak time and resources into the project. It’s just a big project. Like a Bloomfield i7 (which is old and fairly large) has 731 million transistors in it…

    I’m with you! I did the same thing before a flight to Australia. Ate it before security thinking I’d get on the plane and fall asleep.

  • I fell down the internet rabbit hole. He gets 1.2M in pay. No bonus and no stock award. The rest are options. Last year he has sold 400,000 shares worth $69M. The year before he sold 1,950,000 shares worth $690M… Looks like he had a scheduled sale of 80,000 shares every 2 weeks. Which had been worth about $25M every time. It looks like he stopped it when the same sale started pulling in about $11M. So yeah, assuming a generous $500k fully loaded employee cost, they cut $150M in HC. So canning him would save about 40 jobs. And he’d still be a billionaire.


  • If you’re going to start playing around with multiple OS’s. Is really in your best interest to start using a data partition. Or better yet, start keeping your files somewhere else entirely and then backing that place up…

    You can’t really brick a PC by doing anything to the boot drive though. You may screw up the OS, but the bios is there to make sure you can boot off something else if need be…
