"The first is an activation model, which allows users to enable features on Xeon processors through a one-time activation. This involves a six-step configuration process, where the customer makes an upgrade request to an infrastructure provider, which then shares the request with Intel to receive a license for the customer, according to an official diagram."
fuck this bull shit. no fucking "pay to win".
i already dislike software vendors doing pay to enable features.
we going to need either ARM or RISC-V. if Intel is doing this bullshit on x86.
- vinyl7 4y agoIt seems to be a common thing among corporations. The need for infinite growth to the point where they sabotage themselves into bankruptcy. Tech switched from engineers doing cool and useful things to MBAs trying to optimize every penny. Why can't businesses just be happy making enough money to pay their salaries? I guess i know why, we have a inflationary currency...and so income needs to increase infinitely since the value of the dollar decreases infinitely. Hopefully this is a result of the fed running a fake economy on free money for the past decade and not a failure of switching off the gold standard.

- saurik 4y agoWasn't Milton Friedman against most of the things the person you are responding to is considering to likely be to blame?
- saurik 4y agoPresumably, as salaries and cost need to go up due to inflation so would price, so I don't think this inflation explanation works?
