I wonder if this has anything to do with the educational and social stunting caused by lockdowns.

The average everything costs more than it did a year ago. The only thing that hasn't gone up commensurately is average wages.

Xe launched with tiger lake summer 2020. Sapphire Rapids (discussed here) is at least a year or two out. As for intels new node they could always pull a cannon lake.

I feel like Intel marketing is leaning heavily on products that are multiple years out because their current line of products is so noncompetitive.

Probably. It will be an expensive niche product though. Will probably sell about as well as the shield.

If Nvidia buys ARM they'll flee like rats on a sinking ship. I'd bet on RISC-V.

Generally companies have a fiduciary obligation. I don't understand your critique. Yes reuse is better than recycling, so what's the point of Apple's recycling program if someone will buy to reuse. Any phone given to Apple to

Do they recycle or send to a landfill? Does recycling mean sending it to a 3rd world country where it's smelted down in backyard shops giving everyone in the area cancer? Of the 3 R's recycle comes last. If we could upgrade and re

Volume seems like the wrong metric when airpods are full of batteries and electronics which are very resource and energy intensive. Energy production cost would be better. With the AKG headphones you could repair them if you felt like it. A

Of the 2 laptop failures I've experienced both of them wouldn't boot but the data was recoverable because the drive didn't fail. Only in a vanishingly small percent of cases is the computer so destroyed that the SSD is also d
