Top Story
- Intel plans to lay off up to 30% of its employees. (WCCFTech)
Things are bad.
- And to cancel processes beyond 18A (1.8nm) unless it can find a major external customer. (Tom's Hardware)
Very bad.
Tech News
- AMD reports that equivalent chips made in TSMC's US factories are between 5% and 20% more expensive than those made in Taiwan. (Bloomberg) (archive site)
Which they state is worth it for not relying on a single overseas source, even if it is nominally the same company.
- Guess it's finally tech news: VShojo is gone. (The Verge)
All those "allegedly" claims I mentioned in the first announcement a couple of days ago now seem to have been confirmed by the company officially - including misappropriating half a million dollars of funds raised for a charity drive.
Which is a big no no.
- Indiegogo is being acquired by board game funding platform Gamefound. (The Verge)
Which is one of those acquisitions which just seems backwards.
- The Honor Pad X7 is cheap junk. (Notebook Check)
It's a small Android tablet with a crappy low-resolution screen, which is not something in short supply.
- The GPD Win 5 is a handheld gaming device... With a Ryzen AI Max 395+. (Liliputing)
What.
That chip uses 80W in low power mode.
Does it come with oven mitts?
Anime Update
Clevatess episode 4: For once, someone who didn't deserve to die... Didn't.
But a whole lot of people who did deserve to die... Did.
But a whole lot of people who did deserve to die... Did.
Satisfying.

Supposedly the CEO of Vshojo, having come down off whatever drugs induced him to make that Tweet, has fled the US for an unnamed country with no extradition treaty.

Pretty sure Intel's management is hoping the DoD will step in and save them, since they are the sole American provider of latest generation chips since Global Foundry decided they no longer wanted to play that way.
The statement from VShojo's CEO is a classic, if apparently unintentional, example of admission against interests, since no one will make statements that are so damaging against themselves unless those statements are true...Which raises the question of what else are they hiding?

Is Baton Twirling even a thing any more? I remember it from the Talent competition in the Miss New Jersey pageant back in the 80's, but I don't remember any of them winning.
