Nothing stops you building an EPYC based workstation. For the last socket you could even get mATX boards from Asrock Rack which were kind of ridiculous - I was very tempted to build my PC around one.

I think Nvidia realises that selling GPUs to individuals is useful as it allows them to develop locally with CUDA.

Just checked my invoice from last year, $316 CAD for 2x32GB 5600MHz DDR5 ECC UDIMMs. I'm now seeing $480 CAD for a single stick.

I haven't used much of GCP, but I have had a good experience with Cloud Run and really haven't found a comparable offering from the other clouds.

Which Android phones? If I understand correctly this will be a requirement for certification, so any devices that do not enforce it will not pass integrity checks. Goodbye banking apps, etc.

This actually seems worse from a security perspective to me than allowing installing apps on device. Your email client from F-Droid has an RCE? Too bad - better hope you update manually!

Do they have to be from the App Store, or "just" notarized?

Amazon.ca is degraded, some product pages load but can't see prices. Amusing.

I think the point is that they had subjected every other foldable device to same torture test, and no other device went up in smoke.

This seems similar to the UK government taking control, though not ownership, of British Steel earlier in the year [0] as the Chinese owner was expected to shut down their blast furnaces, an action that could not be easily reversed - if pos

Not exactly fool proof though. An adversarial government could force Google or the telecoms providers to block such email/text messages?

Yet even there Apple still require apps be notarised, and presumably that signature could be revoked.

Just because it’s social media doesn’t excuse inciting violence or hate speech. I’m not going to claim that every arrest in the UK due to social media posts was just, but I also disagree that social media should permit unrestricted speech.

I have the same monitor and think the resolution is fine. I run at 125% scaling, which is close to 2560x1440 at 27”, 100% which is the density I moved from.

I have the Dell U4025QW which has a 2500R curve and I do think it’s beneficial. If I had dual 27” monitors instead I would also have a slight angle between them - so the curve seems like a natural progression.
