    amdorintel got a reaction from Johnsynie1989 in Your first rigs and plans to upgrade?   
    my first rig was circa 1970's think atari 800 for the business
    then apple 2 with large 5" floppy diskettes
     
    now a flip phone from the 1990's or a calculator is a million times better then those.
     
    i am heading to threadripper on the next build

    Pirate based streaming is the wave of the future I guess.
     
    I remember the days when you got a satellite tv and had access to everything, with some guy in China Town hacking whatever.
     
    I havent used Android box yet for tv, but it looks interesting too.

    well yea i understand your blight, you wanted to confirm a good seller for bt 5.0, understandable, and there is no reason at all to avoid aliexpress/alibaba if you know that the seller on there is a good seller and wont con you. to all the others out there, if something is not right about the product you are usually s.o.l. if you chose some random seller, unlike ebay/amazon/paypal which is buyer friendly, ali's are seller friendly.

    amdorintel reacted to mr moose in Blackhat talk on T2 chip security   
    You are trying to argue something no one cares about nor is talking about.   What I posted was an example of what apple can do not the concerns we are discussing.  C'mon it's not that hard.
     
     
    When you have nothing left to argue just attack the character of the person instead.
     
    And you are not following the conversation, no one is arguing what the T2 chip is being currently used for, concerns were raised about what it COULD be used for in the future.   That is why none of your responses make any sense.  We are talking about what it can be used for and apples history on the topic.
     
     
    Huh?  Now I know you are only here for a pointless debate.  I have linked 5 articles explaining the issues with apple and right to repair (the main concern of the discussion) and all you are doing is trying to rebut the superficial individual parts.  By apple denying consumers the right to repair and by making it hard to get repairs done (both facts) they are anti consumer.  i don't care if you don't believe it, those facts will still be facts.
     
     
    I think you should go back tot he first page and read my first comment on this whole thing.  because you have completely missed the point of the discussion. no one is trying to argue aspecific intended use for the T2, just a concern about what it can be used for (specifically in future generations). 
     
    No one is really.
    That is the only thing people are arguing (more to the point raising concerns over).
     
    And?  who cares,  no one has said it doesn't do any important or valid, in fact many have said they thinks it's brilliant especially in enterprise.  but if it was to be used in this way in consumer hardware then that is not good.  And that is a fair opinion that doesn't require anyone explain to you the technicalities of how it would be possible.
     
    Sorry, that's just funny. Do you honestly think being concerned about a company that refuses to repair consumer devices opting to instead sell a new one and all their other anti consumer activities is hurting people? If anything it is doing the exact opposite.
     
     
     
     
    I think you need to go back to the start of the thread and familiarize yourself with the concern raised instead of coming in half way and assuming things.   No one is blaming the T2 chip for anything, the claims are that apple COULD use the T2 (more accurately a future version of it) to lock out non genuine hardware.  A not unreasonable concern given their history of trying to prevent 3rd party repairs (and in some cases dissuade people from repairing at all).

    amdorintel reacted to NumLock21 in Um...what do I do with this?   
    Xeon Phi runs on embedded linux that it is built into the card itself and in order to use it, you'll have to be really good writing code that optimizes the Xeon Phi to show its true potential. It also requires specific boards that supports it, because not all boards will work with a Xeon Phi. PCIe cards ones were 1st gen, then they went to sockets like a CPU, where some have an extra OmniPath connector. CPUs right now has a massive increase in core count, which defeats the purpose of even having a Xeon Phi, so Intel has set it to EOL.

    You will use that to calculate time and space!
    So did your company just purchase a bunch of these and they are telling you to find out if it works? If that is the case, don't bother because those things are used for very specific task like scientific research.
    What you can do is put it on a shelf for display.

    Have you ever looked at the list of the worlds billionaires?
    7 out of the top 10 are in the US.
    Go down the list, and it's 16/25 US, another 3 are Chinese.
    So 19/25 of the worlds billionaires are in the two countries you suggested.
     
    You also ignored talent. Where do you go if you're extremely talented? Chances are, the US. You have the best chance of growing there, for numerous reasons.
    Thus, you'll see more growth there.
    Want to start something that's manufacturing based? Where's the worlds manufacturing headquarters?
    Right. China.
     
    Growth in Japan is stagnant at best. It wouldn't surprise me if in the next 50 years the Japanese people have a hard time surviving at all.
