I have this wyse Cx0⊠runs kolibriOS now
It runs some via chip from the early 2000s despite being from 2011
I think this is similar or maybe a lil faster
We are totally screwed because now theyâre going to put these in cheap laptops and peddle them to the elderly and the non-technically inclined who donât know any better. Then, us tech people have to deal with âwhy is my Windows 11 pentium 3 pc so goddamned slowâ
This post just gave me the most cursed idea ever.
Am x86 processor competitor but instead of implementing every single opcode it just has the common ones, and any unknown opcode it asks ChatGPT to write an equivalent C language implementation, JIT-compiles it and executes it.
Congratulations, you just reinvented basically the same thing (minus the âAIâ buzzword) that Transmeta was doing a quarter-century ago.
Itâs progress. Competition is always good.
Given how fast China can progress when they put their minds to it, this is worrying.
They donât have the EUV machines needed to make the most modern chips. Only DUV so far.
Well, when youâve spent the past 20 years stealing intellectual property and conducting industrial espionage is it really that hard to get to this point?
Iâm not sad China is stealing IP from billionaires who are hoarding their wealth. If those billionaires want American citizens to care then share more of the profits.
I love it when the apologistsâ friends show up, when you guys canât argue the high ground any more you just take aim at everyone else
I dunno, stealing intellectual property from companies strikes me as a victimless crime.
But more than that, itâs the only way for poor countries to work their way out of poverty. We hold the profitable ends of the value chain, developing countries are left holding the unprofitable middle, and we wonât provide any of the know-how needed to work the more profitable parts.
Either we willingly include technology transfer as part of globalisation, or we whine about âIP theftâ. Because we canât expect poor countries to willingly stay poor to benefit us.
China is the second largest economy in the world, nobody is whining about Ethiopia borrowing ideas to feed people.
Stealing IP is victimless up to a point: At the point where companies that pay for innovation are out-competed by companies that just steal this innovations, everyone that wants technological progress is a victim. This is why I have an issue with companies like Huawei blatantly stealing IP. We wouldnât have the tech we rely on today if not for someone eating the cost of innovation, turning a profit, and seeing continued innovation as a viable business strategy.
