Judging from the flight path and altitude data that seems extremely unlikely, it looks like the plane just fell apart and came down like a brick in an instant.

These controllers use some kind of DRM that requires disabling a feature of the BT stack (ertm) using a non-persistent kernel parameter that breaks other BT devices. I
It doesn’t, actually. It works out of the box if wired through USB, or when using the expensive wireless dongle, but it doesn’t work out of the box over Bluetooth. You have to apply nasty hacks to the BT stack to make it work. PS4 controller is just pair & go.
On top of that it seems the study hypotheses for these papers are clearly biased towards proving a positive correlation between infections and mask use, even though one could do exactly the same kind of study in many other parts of the world where infections exploded along with increasingly expansive mask mandates. For example France and Spain, where numbers only started to go down after they went into second lockdown.
No matter what you think of mask effectiveness, cherry picking statistics is bad science, and so far that’s all I’ve seen as far as the ‘masks are effective’ studies go.
I don't think lack of general-purpose cores has been a problem for mobile for a long time. I see much more value in heterogeneous SoC's that integrate multiple application-specific blocks that can only do a few things but do them very, very efficiently. This is pretty much what the industry has been moving towards for the past few years anyway, the Apple M1 being a good example of that.
Is that true though? I though pretty much all of the Google services and vendor-specific skins and OS modifications are just as closed as iOS? Last time I heard vanilla AOSP is pretty much unusable because besides the core OS functions everything is grossly outdated? Is anyone using Android phones without any of the Google services?
That makes absolutely no sense, these interactions are completely different from those you would have with your co-workers, and it’s perfectly normal even for people with an otherwise active social life to miss those. My friends and family are almost universally incomparable to my coworkers in almost every way.
So again, what would make anyone think that an M1 with decent cooling would not be able to maintain the current ST performance indefintely, or a hypothetical 8+8 or even 16+16 core M1X or M2 with a TDP of 100W and top-notch cooling solution would be impossible?
Probably, if only because non-exclusive AAA games already cost tens of millions of $$$ to develop, and no other consoles or PC's show any similarity with the Cell architecture. So you would either end up with really crappy PS versions of multi-platform games, or they would not be made for PS at all.
What makes you think that given sufficient cooling, it will not perform exactly the same as the M1 in the MBA but sustained? It’s not like the ARM architecture changes anything in the thermodynamics of cooling cpus compared to an x86 chip, right?
I’d wager that under load an i9 with passive cooling wouldn’t even last 30 seconds without throttling below even its base clock, if it doesn’t just shut down to prevent frying itself
I’m pretty sure Apple already has an 8+8 core version with 32GB+ RAM in their lab that runs at higher clocks and blows the doors off the performance of these M1 chips, and they are simply going for maximum shock effect by releasing this ‘low-end’ chip first then tighten the screws to Intel and AMD even further when they release the MBP and iMac with an M1X chip or whatever they will call it.
That doesn't contradict anything I said though, I was only commenting on the US situation and whether it could have been contained by 'just wearing masks'.
Everywhere I keep reading comments that suggest you pretty much deserved what you got and americans only have themselves to blame because 'if everyone just wore masks' it 'could have been contained'. Literally nothing suggests that, no other country in the world shows any statistics to back this up, and the situation is pretty much as bad as or worse in many parts of the world that did mandate masks and had lock-downs, while it is much better in other parts of the world that did none of these things. Europe is the prime example of this, there's so much variation in the measures that different countries took, but I literally see zero correlation with infection rates or deaths, not up until the point where countries go into lock-downs that dramatically limit the movement of people and the chance of getting in contact with 'strangers' that you would never get in contact with if you worked from home, did not go to bars or restaurants, did not use public transport, etc. But these measures are not sustainable long-term, so sooner or later they are relaxed and the infections start to go up again, with or without face masks, with or without people doing 'everything in their power to stop the virus' because they are traumatised by the first wave. Just look at Italy, one of the hardest hit countries in Europe in the first wave, and the place they are now in again. If anything, the countries that were the first to issue mask mandates and kept expanding them (Italy, France, Spain, Belgium) are now all at the bottom of the list in terms of covid infections and deaths in the second wave.
I'll probably get downvoted into oblivion by saying as much because it's already clear to me that in the US wearing face masks is more like a religion or a political statement, but alas... The main point I wanted to make is that blaming yourself and others for the situation you are in because it 'would have been easy to contain, if only...' is not backed up by any evidence, and IMO just a form of self-torture.
Edit: also not sure if the router I got from my ISP (which I don't use, but I guess 99% of their other customers do since it is non-trivial to replace without losing IPTV) would allow me to configure it as a VPN gateway. Pretty sure it won't considering they try to lock it down as much as possible.
They may have been one of the earliest investors in EUV (along with TSMC, by the way), but in terms of adoption and roadmap they have been way behind both TSMC and Samsung. I don't know the exact numbers of machines but my educated guess is that TSMC and Samsung together probably have close to 10x the EUV wafer capacity compared to Intel. And have had it for much longer as well.
The problem Intel created for itself is that they have always had a very stubborn over-confidence in their own knowledge of process technology, and have driven tool manufacturers like ASML to work within Intels constraints, instead of working together to alleviate them. Their hubris has bitten them now that EUV has become economically viable compared to Intels process technology that relies heavily on triple and quadruple patterning, and very little of Intels 'old' process technology knowledge carries over to EUV.
TSMC has also had a lot of teething pains with EUV but they have been very determined to make it work, and that's paying off now.
Often it simply takes some time for solutions to new problems to percolate, and you need to take a step back regularly during the process. Forget about the problem completely and do something completely different, interspersed with short bursts of research and reading on related topics. Sooner or later the contours of a solution will start to form and you will (hopefully) be able to realize it much quicker and at higher quality compared to 'working hard' by pounding yourself and trying to force things.
I cannot count the number of times I almost gave up on a problem after working myself into multiple dead-ends, and almost instantly seeing a path forward after taking a few steps back and allowing my brain to work itself out of these dead-ends.
Not spending 1 week of 'hard work' on a bad solution can save you months of work in the future.
Adding an extra row of physical keys that do the same thing as the row of virtual function keys, at the expense of trackpad size and possibly ergonomic (harder to reach the touch bar) doesn't make a lot of sense IMO.
