Considering it wouldn't need to run for-profit, it would cost much less than their market evaluation.
I'm not the guy suggesting nationalising SoMe, and I actually don't think it's a good thing to nationalise that particular function. But shutting down for-profit driven SoMe would probably be a good idea.
Huh, maybe it's just One+ then IDK. But honestly I couldn't care less, my phone always charges overnight, so I have no need for anything more than 5W anyway.
Doesn't most phones go that high these days? The One+ phones has their "warp charge" which maxes out at 65W
How high do you want your taxes to be, for a start?
High enough to cover proper healthcare and education (including higher education) for everyone. Personal wealth should never be a factor when it comes to education and healthcare.
Both are useless as payment in the real world at any meaningful scale ATM.
Should you really be concerned about a system that can be physically ruined by malware? I would say definitely yes...
Of course there's a financial reason, they've probably done a cost/benefit analysis and decided that it's financially better to screw over those customers than to spend money fixing it. But that's exactly the issue!
I think what most people disagree with, is that the active choice from AMD to not fix a very fixable issue, is a choice they know leaves customers is a seriously bad position. This is something they choose to do to their customers, because they could just as well choose to help them.
Usually it's Mr. Moneybags over there...
what I meant was that apparently only compromised systems are vulnerable to this defect.
That is not correct. Any system where this vulnerability is not patched out by AMD (which is all of gen 1, 2 and 3 CPUs) is left permanently vulnerable, regardless of whether or not they already are compromised. So if your PC is compromised in a few months for some reason, instead of being able to recover with a reinstall of your OS, your HW is now permanently compromised and would need to be thrown out...just because AMD didn't want to patch this.
Ryzen 3000 series CPUs are still sold as new, I even bought one six months ago, they're no where near being classified as "old", they're hardly 5 years old. And this is not only an issue for already infected systems because uninfected systems will intentionally be left vulnerable.
Sending a rocket on a ridiculously stupid task with no useful purpose is not even remotely close to having the same negative impact as this has the potential to. It's so far apart that it is honestly quite stupid to even attempt to compare them.
