So was what I said. I was presenting a hypothetical way they justify their ridiculous claims by doing something else ridiculous.

But conveying tone in text is difficult, so I’m not surprised you missed what I was going for.

To be fair. We assume “months” means less than 2 years. But 10 years can also be “months”, and is probably a more realistic timeline.

The reason is that it takes a lot of emotional intelligence and strength to admit that you have been scammed. These people will find it less emotionally painful to deny reality then admit their mistakes.

If your mean the next big architecture, sure. If your meaning literal cores, they still have a long way to go. I’m sure they will have competitive performance eventually, but not real soon.

Livescribe has been around for years. It was really useful in school.

I believe there is battery tech that is newer but being deployed into production that is iron based. It is heavier and less energy dense than lithium. But for power grid level deployment that should be fine and iron is a bit harder to catch on fire.

I think an important detail is likely missing. My experience as a software engineer intern included getting paid well and full benefits as an employee. So legally I was an hourly employee and I think the label of “intern” was to set expectations work/performance/responsibility.

Hey get your facts straight. They overclocked it intentionally but poorly. If they weren’t already pushing it to the limit this probably wouldn’t even be an issue.

Every CPU will wear out given enough time. Most of the time that is like 20+ years, so no one cares. The problem is that they where pushing things so hard the CPU was wearing out in 6 months. So all of these CPUs will likely have a reduced lifespans, but they may last long enough to get you to your next upgrade. If you are already seeing crashing issues, it is likely wore out already.

The best shot for that any time soon would be Qualcomm’s ARM laptops. But it doesn’t seem like they are prepared to deliver what is necessary to make that happen currently. I think they under estimated how much software/driver work was necessary to compete.
