They've had fab problems for years, in that it cost them a ton on money and much longer than desired to shrink nodes, so they've fallen from a leader in fab production to being behind.

Not to mention there's not much money to be made from fabs, unless your tsmc.

AMD, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Google, Apple, are all huge tech companies that design their own cutting edge chips, and only Samsung is another company that both designs and produces chips.

I'm confused, that looks like an m.2 slot, and it's not like it could really be anything else. Msata is a dead standard and looks quite different. The slot would be too wide.

Diversity is important, but it's still better to go after larger sources of energy first. There's just not much energy to be recovered from falling rain or waste from cars.

Make the cars waste less energy, or the transit system in general is much easier and will actually save money long term.

Ehh it's still a rubbish idea, that money would be much better spent going after primary producers of energy, like solar, wind, geothermal, or nuclear.

Some napkin math and an equivalent area of solar, say over a road or parking lot would produce 3.5 million kwh in a year.

People didn't buy the last mini, so why would Apple do it again?

Most people have pretty decent ai hardware already in the form of a gpu.

Sure dedicated hardware might be more efficient for mobile devices, but that's already done better in the cloud.

Closest in the united States is a chevy bolt, but that's still pretty far.

I'd love a fairly dumb ev. Give me just enough computer for battery/charging management and let me do the rest.

It's funny how well linux works with printers, no stupid hp app, no configuration. Just hit print and done.

I wasn't recommending it for that?

I said that it wouldn't be good for streaming apps, like Netflix, and the previous comment was asking about Plex specifically.

Not for the shield, but there's a Chinese device, Ugoos am6b+, that you can install coreelec on.

Coreelec is a linux os designed to run kodi, add a plex add on and it can play almost anything.

Any dolby vision profile, including the one that can usually only be played on bluray players. Any audio including TrueHD, dolby atmos, and DTS.

Sucks for streaming apps sadly, so you'd have to get another device like Apple TV or something.

I think at that point I'd mail a certified letter and cancel whatever card it's on.

That probably wouldn't work but one can dream.

It's still free, just under a different plan named lite https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/plan/lite/

Yeah it's annoying and shitty, but it's not so bad.
