Qualcomm is also American.
Whether Intel sells or not is decided by its major shareholders, pending regulatory approval, not Intel's execs or employees. Those shareholders would likely receive shares of Qualcomm which would now include Intel's expected future profits, or cash that they can use to buy Qualcomm shares to capture those profits.
Buy recertified enterprise grade disks from https://serverpartdeals.com. Prices were around $160/16TB the last time I checked. Mix brands and models to reduce simultaneous failure. Use more than 1-disk redundancy. If you can't buy from SPD, either find an alternative or buy external drives and shuck them. Use ZFS to know if your data is correct. I've been dealing with funny AMD USB controllers recently and the amount of silent data corruption I'd have gotten if not for ZFS is ridiculous.
I don't think anyone makes SMR drives in the current lineups anymore.
Switching wholesale from a brand or model to another could be counterproductive. There are myriad of reasons why drives can fail that aren't related to the brand and the model. What if you unknowingly switch to a less reliable model because of such a reason? You'd end up worse off. For example according to Backblaze's data, Seagate is generally worse than WD.
A better way to do this is to mix brands and models so that there's less probability to fail at the same time. I have both WD and Seagate in a single storage pool, even if the Seagate model is objectively less reliable according to Backblaze.
You already trust these people today. They run/own many large corporations today which dramatically affect our lives in multitude of ways. Except today we can't get remove them from these positions of power under the current system.
It's thanks to this in part that your aunt keeps indulging her imaginary pain when she thinks about your lifestyle.
And they managed to do that with those lazy US workers? Wow.
E: folks, pls look up TSMC bosses' statements on American workers' ethic
All decent DP KVMs are very expensive. I got an IOGEAR which is a rebranded Aten. It was also in the same price range. Who knew high resolution needs high bandwidth and high bandwidth signaling and switching is hard..
That's an odd request. I'm not a huge fan of video content but there's legitimately good content in video format.
I hope OpenAI is going to serve as a radicalizing example to all the engineers, who fell for the "ethical guy/company" rhetoric, that the minority-controlled corporate structures they're used to cannot withstand the push for profit. I hope this will make more of them choose majority-controlled structures for their startups and demand unions in existing corpos.
Anything but paying for the labor of a person to draw such a picture.
Then Qualcomm would become a national security asset. ๐ In fact that alone sounds like a great reason for acquisition. It's not every day that you get a obvious way to become too big/important to fail.
