They needed the IP.

You can’t just build a 3D accelerator. It’s billions of dollars in licensing basic building blocks.

Easiest way to get in is to buy your way in.

They smashed her head into the concrete before loading her into the car :(

IRGC is fucked in the head.

No, it’s for safety.

These kids targeted poor Ali as they thought he’d ‘jumped one of their mates’ the week before, if they were allowed out and about, they’d likely kill more of the family in their own revenge scheme.

Not possible for every device, plenty of TP-Link xDSL modem/routers out there.

Intel realized it back then too, but things didn’t pan out the way they wanted.

nVidia and AMD were going to merge while ATi was circling the drain. Then Jensen and Hector Ruiz got into their shitfight about who was going to be CEO of the marged AMD/nVidia (it should have been Jensen, Hector Ruiz is an idiot) which eventually terminated the merger.

AMD, desperately needing a GPU side for their ‘future is fusion’ plans, bought the ailing ATi at a massive premium.

Intel was waiting for ATi to circle the drain a little more before swooping in and buying them cheap, AMD beat them to it.

You think Intel is going to have 500-850mm^2 dies?

That’s what they need to compete in the GPU space.

For being employees of sanctioned companies…

She sacrificed herself (really, they smashed her head into concrete before loading her into the car :(, they probably killed her) to send a message. We need to listen. IRGC needs to go.

Greta saying it means it on longer has any traction.

She’s a harbinger of the rich doing nothing about a problem.

Average people can’t afford 60ft high-tech yachts.

That’s Billionaire territory, though I guess they could ‘only’ be worth hundreds of millions.

Even ‘millionaires’ can’t afford Yachts.

Thanks child of billionaires for telling everyone what they already knew!

The parts of NATO that aren’t ready to fight are exclusively in the EU.

EU buddied up to Russia for too long and considered US/UK/Poland’s defense buildup bad, now we’re all here.

I just hope the next Australian government will take China seriously.

No but ah… the free money!

In writing, but in reality, almost no one in NATO is ready to fight.

Luckily, neither is Russia.

Neo Pinkos, they support Iran too.

They’re held for inspections since UNRWA and Iran regularly send weapons to Hamas via ‘aid’ trucks.

It’s why the US needs to keep up the pressure on Israel regarding weapons shipments for aid entering Gaza. It won’t ever speed up the processing of those held up trucks, since they still need to be inspected, but it forces Israel to send their own trucks, with aid they know is good, instead of leaving it to third parties who inevitably adulterate the aid. (That benefits Netanyahu)

Oligarch: Putin what is going on with the war? Why are we losing?

Putin: Oh wow look, an Eagle, just out there, wow majestic plumage, you should come and see…

That’s how it started, as more of a replacement for Corel Painter, but today it’s a very competent photo editor too, personally I find it much better than GIMP.

It’s not free of pain points though - text editing sucks compared to Photoshop, (it’s similar but better than GIMP though, both input text into dialog prompt then render it, GIMP is one and done, you need do it again if you want to edit, Krita lets you edit) no WYSIWYG on the canvas.

Also getting used to the UI will take a bit from PS.
