Also: Intel is hosting its Vision keynotes this week and it just officially split-off its foundry revenue reporting - should be some more news out of them in a few days! Hopefully Battlemage, but maybe not yet. Unrelated, missed thumbnail opportunity for "moar battlemage" and "Zen moar faster."

Wow I made 7 billion dollars more than the Intel Foundry last year.

Intel has had like 50 cranes deployed at their chandler facility for at least 3 years now, it’s nonstop building there. I drive past it every morning.

Google: You want us to delete data already analyzed? No problem at all. Look at us doing it with a pleasure.

It's funny the two articles I read recently:
1. Intel CPUs won't subsidize Intel fabs anymore
2. Intel fabs won't subsidize Intel CPUs anymore

The correct word you were looking for there at the end was "baddassitude".

Displays all over cases is giving off some serious pimp my ride vibes. Looks like they're already adding underglow. Waiting on nitrous cooling and vinyl wraps

If RGB does not make a product expensive enough, just put LCD screens on it, dual screens, OLED screens, miniled, QDOLED, make it solid gold, who needs functionality when you can pay $500 for a cooler or a pack of fans.

Google has promised to stop misbehaving in one single small way FOR FIVE YEARS.

I pay for gigabit up. My provider (Telus) throttles my uploads to YouTube to a couple hundred kbps. Unless I run a speed test. After that my upload speed magically goes up to a gig and stays there for 20 minutes.
I'm not sure what Canada's regulatory stance is on Net Neutrality but I expect it isn't much better than yours at this point.

16:43 I think the real news is that Google not only didn't stop collecting data when people went incognito but they also explicitly _flagged_ their data with the fact that someone was in incognito mode. Otherwise they couldn't delete the data retroactively.
I mean, I bet the information is super valuable that someone felt secretive about their current activity but having a giant spotlight shone at their activity is really not what most people want when going incognito.

I love it when Steve roasts the ISPs. Never let up until they get better

[kelownatechkid]

I'm glad intel is investing so much in Capex right now. Real infrastructure, spread out across different territories. That's more of what we need!

[GinsuChikara]

I have a little Minisforum machine I use as an HTPC and it's been flawless for the like 8 months I've been using it to drive two screens for my F1 watching setup

Patrick Gelsinger: "Thanks Steve"

[nugzmedallion]

What I think: my PC sits under my desk so there's no way in hell I'd ever pay 2x more than my AIO costs for a pretty screen I'll never look at.

[atranimecs]

Why do I feel like the Net Neutrality statement is also a sneaky way to add something else in the mix?

[IIlIIllII]

Never thought the rgb vs stealth builds concept would ever have a new challenger, displays.

[AHX]

I think screens on components are a sign that manufacturers are desperate to stand out any way they can (and to hike the price as well). They're actual bells and whistles in the original sense of the phrase; a useless feature superfluously added to a finished product with the sole purpose of drawing attention. RGB 2.0. I imagine the only reason they don't put speakers on everything is because those can't be made simultaneously as compact and high quality as screens can.
