There are a few distinct things here. Learning 6502 assembly is straightforward, and you'd be better learning about simple (not modern) assembly languages at a high level--opcodes, registers, noop, branch, jump, compare, accumulators,

I was at Cisco when the Apple iPhone was announced. It was rumored to be happening, so Cisco rushed out a Linksys VoIP(?) phone rebranded (it might have just been a sticker) as an "iPhone" so they could defend the trademark. They

This goes against Hyrum's law. NAT provides the behavior 99.9% of users want, usually by default, out of the box. True firewalls can do the same thing, but not necessarily by default, the firewall might not even by on by default, and t

I had an X1 Carbon like this, only it'd crash for no apparent reason. The internet consensus that Lenovo wouldn't own up to was that the i7 CPUs were overpowered for the cooling, so your best bet is either underthrottling them or

There's something that feels seductive and clever about taking the contrarian, usually pessimist stance—like you're the only one who sees things for how they really are.

I remember the HDD shortage after flooding in Thailand. There was a price surge for a year or so, capacity came back online, and the price slowly eased. If AI crashes, prices might quickly collapse this time. If it doesn't, it'll

I would think so because fab capacity is constrained, and if you make an on-die SoC with less memory, it uses fewer transistors, so you can fit more on a wafer.

This doesn't scale, though. It can work if you're a superpower or a bloc, but most countries don't have enough resources to each run their own cloud, mines, energy production, and food production.

There's also the issue that you're making apples-to-pears comparison if Ryanair shows up in results. While Air France and British Airways have largely equivalent products, Ryanair's is...different.
