Good to see the free market in action. I’m sure this merge will be good for consumers, encourage innovation, and ensure that the barriers to entry are not set too high.

Just think how much control he can have if he owns the medium which people access the internet.

And he’d only do good things with that power /s

I had problems with my 3080 and Ubuntu having a flickering screen. Eventually I switched from displayport cable to hdmi and that fixed the issue.

Jackie Perczek, another of Black’s law partners, said she learned from him that it was a lawyer’s duty to “fiercely battle the oppressors and support the underdog.”

Article includes lots of famous, rich, powerful clients, then throws this quote in. Perhaps my understanding of the word “underdog” is really different.

Hmmm I mean there is a bit of a rise in right-wing populist movements across Europe but not sure it’s quite trumpian yet. No masked Gestapo bundling people into vans and concentration camps, mainly hotels… AFAIK

Democrats called for a criminal investigation into Long’s connections to other alleged tax credit loopholes. The lawmakers allege that firms connected to Long duped investors into spending millions of dollars to purchase fake tax credits.

That seem a cruel punishment, to know a mistake was made and that you have to pay for it. It doesn’t seem to achieve anything for the public good

Come on now, Elon’s paid >$250 million dollars to trump’s campaign (that we know of) he deserves to have his needs met, the US isn’t called “land of the free” for nothing! /s https://www.theregister.com/2024/12/07/elon_election_spending/

Next up GPUs require always-on connections and Nvidia requires a monthly subscription to pay for that.

“Sometimes, you know, stealth, they do stealth,” Trump said. “I’m not a huge believer in stealth, because stealth is basically, a lot of it’s the design and the shape. … You’re going to design an ugly plane for stealth reasons. And then six months later, they’re going to figure out this, and then you’re stuck with a plane.”

Trump’s new stance on stealth differed from remarks he made during his first administration, when he repeatedly extolled the F-35’s stealth capabilities.
