Your first step is to learn about amperage and wire gauge. After that you could research RVs that run on DC.

Weights are worth far more than data centers.

IIRC the N9 did have approximate technical parity (not business parity) with the iPhone and it did take Nokia 3-4 years (2007-2011). As other commenters have said, they lost out due to timing and lack of platform strategy.

BlackBerry didn't have a really good OS until 2011 or later which was too late.

According to their plan, the good bots pay for scraping.

$2k through the API Which costs them $200 to serve.

There aren't millions of people who care about that.

That's what the dumb money says because that's what they need to believe to buy in at the top. Of course the smart money is diversifying or just planning to ride it out.

That's how every bubble works.

These questions can't really be answered now because things are moving too fast. That may explain why people are latching on to things they can prove like circular financing even if those arguments are pretty weak.

The new Siri is on-device and people are reporting pretty good results. It's much larger than 1.2B though.

Yes, LLM density has continuously improved. A recent 32B model beats older >100B models. It may level off at some point but no one knows when that will be.

Google search has generally rotted. Can't get promoted for maintenance.

s1artibartfast is correct; Starlink was awarded RDOF money that was later rescinded.

Towers aren't ever going to be built to cover the most rural areas. That's why Starlink is needed.

Obviously Starlink has connected far more Americans than unbuilt rural fiber. Starlink did get $730M in BEAD grants more recently.

It's not but it's all so tiresome to explain why. Also, those (hypothetical) towers have no ROI because they only serve poor people. Starlink covers the entire world so parts of the world can subsidize service to other parts.

It's Microcenter. Don't get your reviews from a retailer.

SpaceX's money came from outside investors.

Many places have incompetent government that can't/won't build proper infrastructure. For example, the US has allocated around $50B for rural broadband and almost nothing has been built.

Honestly DIMMs don't really fit on PCI cards and a boatload definitely doesn't fit.

Somebody said people were posting images of QR codes that contained (links to?) CSAM. But instead of using a QR code decoder, it sounds like Discord used perceptual hashing or AI to detect and ban all QR-like images.

That was the point of the bailout. Twitter is already a rounding error so no one will notice if it goes to zero.

I get the impression European companies are like this. In general if a company can't be reorganized/dismantled that makes it worth so little (or negative) that no one will acquire it.

SGI accidentally copied a few lines of IRIX code into Linux and it was removed as soon as the copying was discovered. I don't know if any other copied Unix code has ever been documented.

This seems like a good idea although I'm surprised UEFI still doesn't have Internet install/restore. Apple has had it for a long time.

External power supplies make UL certification cheaper; that's the reason. I hate power bricks but I have so many on my desk that one more makes no difference. The Beelink version has an internal PSU BTW.

Look at Minisforum; they have a bunch of different models.
