You're not entirely wrong, but it's a very common radio technology, which anyone is free to use (even implement from scratch, with enough skills) with very few restrictions (which don't really affect state actors). You may as

And which is very unconvincing in real world use.... It benchmarks well, but "looks" crap. I really wish they had produced something better than that, if that's what we're going to be stuck with. It's sad.

You reminded me of something I was considering years ago: screens have incredible resolution (DPI) now, and still growing. Some technologies are based on a backlight and a mask which blocks it in the right spots to form the picture (LCD, L

I've been to quite a few IKEAs in both Italy and Germany, never experienced anything remote like this - there are always shortcuts, and they are often quite clearly labeled. Is this a US thing?

While true, that was also SunOS 5.6 to SunOS 5.7. One name for the marketing brochures, one for techies (and their scripts). Works for me.

Seconding this. I saw the article before its title was changed, and I admit I dismissed it right away (I know, how improper of me). When I see Mark's name, I stop and read the article.

Maybe Germany isn't using them? It doesn't take a heavy rain to make them practically disappear - which I haven't experienced elsewhere. But that was already a good starting point for some searches, thank you!

Fair point about Apple buying out the output of TSMC's 5nm line - but Nvidia used Samsung's 8nm process. One could argue some orders were displaced due to TSMC being booked out, thus crowding Samsung's capacity as a cascade e

Because manufacturers of actual products are in the USB forum and actively lobby for this shitty naming convention, so their sales of USB4 products don't drop. Same reason, same companies, same lobbying, which gave us USB 3.0, USB 3.1
