They're not dead. Not yet. I think the next 6 months will be interesting for them.
The current batch of stories seems to be coming from disclosures made during a tribunal case over the unfair dismissal of the CEO at the time. I'l think there's a lot of pearl clutching going on in the reporting here. Their IP just isn't on the same scale as companies like Nvidia and AMD so I don't know how they could possibly be much dirty laundry here.
Thanks for coming back and letting others know what your solution was.
For most people, using Linux is not a buggy experience. So no, people aren't gaslighting you. Normally, you grab a modern release like the latest Fedora or Ubuntu and you can get a live desktop up in seconds booting from a USB stick.
Esoteric hardware can be a problem if particular driver haven't been developed yet. That tends to hit laptops harder than desktops, but it's much less of an issue than it used to be.
People are asking for specifics because they don't share your experience and so can't fill in the blanks.
The fact that it's not protected is all down to America's fear of democratic socialism and workers rights.
When we pay the actual price and not the ad subsidised price.
Probably never. Those 2048 cores are all separate threads. GPUs work with a cluster of cores all following a single thread of execution.
MIMD Vs SIMD.
Not OP, but I doubt that's what he meant. An APU still has a CPU and a GPU on it as separate things.
Do UK citizens pay generation + transmission + taxes like we do in the USA?
We pay a standing charge per day. Mine is 40p. So every day my costs are 40p + my per kWh costs. There's also 5% tax on domestic electricity, but the prices I quoted include this.
No. Electric. My price changes every 30 minutes.
I wrote that message this morning when the price was low. Now at 5pm the price is nearer 40p. Obviously you don't charge a car at peak prices.
Over the last 4 weeks I've averaged 18p/kWh. That's mainly by making sure I do things like charge the car when it's cheap.
My rate is very variable, but the figure I used is the off-peak rate on a rate designed for EV owners that gives cheap overnight electricity.
My gas price is 5.9p/kWh which also changes, but day by day. Today is average.
Well Nvidia and AMD will get their money (and possibly some other investors money too) straight back in equipment purchases.
