Just in case you thought Buttigieg was useful for anything other than Transportation Secretary, here you go.

The British plug has a lot of features that are supposed to make it very, very safe. It'd be interesting to see if there's a study out there that tries to make apples-to-apples comparisons of electrical accidents in different countries. Do those features actually work out in practice?
The US plug is bad, but does that actually translate into more accidents? Hard to say. If you can do the study above, then you can start making the argument for switching to something else.
There are decent at dotting the "I"s and crossing the ts, including broader software and firmware enablement.
Yes, and that really puts the Raptor Lake failures in perspective. It undermined this whole argument that Intel stuff is rock solid even if it's not the best in other ways. Xeon stuff was affected, too, and given how lucrative the server market is, that may have been the biggest mistake Intel has made.
Trump says US will partner with Israel to run additional food centers in Gaza, but details are scant
They're going to open a couple of Popeyes franchises.
I joke, but this isn't totally off the table for Trump.
Yeah, I read further down after posting that. Whooo boy.
Intel's core product became big primarily due to decisions they had nothing to do with.
Roll back the clock to IBM developing their first PC. They usually developed hardware in house, but they were late to the game and needed something fast. They choose to use off the shelf hardware, with the BIOS being the one thing that's proprietary.
For the CPU, they could have gone with Motorola or MOS or Texas Instruments. They choose Intel. Why? Because Intel fulfilled a memory contract on another project, so sure, use their 8088.
Compaq then reverse engineers the BIOS and the whole thing pases legal muster. Now anybody can make a compatible, but they have to use the same CPU that IBM did.
Microsoft does its thing with DOS and Windows. Everyone is writing software against that. Now everyone starts getting locked in.
After that, all Intel has to do is keep x86 going well enough that nobody wants to make the effort to switch. Yes, AMD and Cyrix are out there, but at this point, they're both the cheap alternative that isn't as good.
They fucked up the 64-bit transition. AMD did the version we all use now.
Intel's entire success is based on making good on a memory contract to IBM decades ago. That's it. It hinges primarily on decisions they did not make themselves. Weren't even in the room at the time.
Patrick Gelsinger was an engineer.
Nvidia is run by a former engineer. I don't know if that's an argument for or against the idea.
You're completely misunderstanding. The CBS source is confirming the non-edited version exists.

So I don't really know a lot about comic books, or the Fantastic Four in general. Did they really make Susan Storm a member of the hero team, and then promptly reverse that to make her a damsel in distress?
