I even worked on a couple ancient Tektronix scopes that used special solder that they included inside the case - the components were soldered onto ceramic bars with metal plated notches. You were screwed if you used any other solder.
The situation was not quite that bad. Tektronix included a small spool of the silver solder they used for assembly because normal tin/lead solder can dissolve enough of the silver off of the ceramic strips to cause the solder joint to separate.
There are applications obviously exempt from RoHS and space flight is one of them.
Unfortunately the exemption is moot when availability of non-RoHS parts vanishes or even worse, non-RoHS parts get substituted without warning. The result at best is having to re-plate leads before assembly which is not always feasible.
If the problem ends having been caused by the RoHS regulations, I will laugh. They deserved it.
No, in the future you will have a Sony Developer Machine, an Apple Programmer Pro, a Microsoft XBox3000 Keyboard Edition or a closed dev machine for whoever owns the market which you can license from the manufacturer to write software, which you can then sell through the Sony/Apple/MS/DisruptiveCo shop if they deem your work fit (by whatever definition of "fit" that Sony/Apple/MS/FutureFirm use that week).
It used to be like this to an extent but general purpose systems like S-100 CP/M which could be used for development displaced custom systems.
There sure are. And the one available ARM workstation board cost 3 times as much as an Intel workstation board yet has pitiful I/O, memory, and performance... sort of like an Apple laptop.
I have used AMD processors for years just for the cost/performance/ECC support. With Intel the issue has been the cost and particularly the availability of workstation motherboards in our local markets.
I had the same reason to switch to AMD. When I built my last workstation to replace my Pentium 4 ECC system, the Intel premium for ECC was more than $1000 because all of the Xeon based systems used FB-DIMMs.
Intel ECC systems still cost more than AMD ones but the premium is down to $100s of dollars.

You trust strangers every time you hand someone your credit card or read the # over the phone. You trust your bank with the history of all your credit purchases. You trust other strangers when you hand over your car keys to the garage or a valet. You trust them when you give them your house keys so they can inspect something while you're at work. You trust, not just one doctor or one nurse, but an entire health care organization with your medical history and details when you go into a hospital to get a checkup or sick care.
We also trust that they are not conducting searches in violation of the 4th amendment as an agent of the government or worse.
There is a reason why ECC is becoming more prevalent across processor lines.
What that list does not show is the chipset requirements. Intel is very careful to implement market segmentation by allowing ECC only on low performance processors or Xeon processors and in all cases, they require a "server" chipset like the C series for ECC to be enabled.
So the only Intel processors and motherboards an AMD ECC system would need to compete with are Xeon E3 with socket LGA1150 and Core i3 with LGA1151 and the Intel systems will be more expensive.
aaaand this is how western society rotts to the point of collapse. You really have to do some serious analysis on the conditions that create these ridiculous situation because this is a bad state of affairs.
So? Any society that cannot correct these problems deserves to rot. We had almost 200 years to fix it and did not. We did not even seriously try.
Politician lawyers and scavengers, but I repeat myself, love a rotting corpse.
The simple thing to do: do not EVER report any security issues you come across. It's not going to benefit you in any way, and is quite likely to harm you greatly.
And the best thing to do is anonymously announce it to the world. It is the only way it will get fixed and revenge is sweet.
Watch that video again. At the end, Holt shows the cost of *not* investing in the next node with the intention of lowering the cost per transistor. It amounts to spending 3 times as much money in production 10 years later just to keep even with competitors that *did* invest spending a fraction of that amount.
At some point when the investment is a lot greater, it will not pay but he gives the numbers showing just how much money that would be and it is a lot.
Counted one way, the US people favored Trump. Counted another way, the US people favored Clinton. Almost without exception, political observers now profess a clear preference for the vote-counting method that would have worked best for their favored candidate: Clinton supporters have discovered a new passion for using the aggregate popular vote, while Trump supporters see great virtue in the Electoral College. Politics as usual.
The real shame is that through various machinations, those were the only two choices.
How many candidates do you have to buy to own the US political system? Both of them. What was that theme in The Matrix about illusionary choice being a means of further control?
California chose Hillary by 3.4 million cotes. Hillary won nationwide popular vote by 2.9 million votes. The entire difference and then some is the state of California.
Aaaaaaaand..... your point being that California is not..... a part of America?
I worked election security for 2 years in California and watched them throw third party ballots into the trash while somehow reporting third party election results. When I brought it up, I was told that they do not bother counting them. Election workers also took ballot boxes home instead of directly to where they are suppose to be opened and counted.
So, ya, insofar as California is rife with election fraud, it is part of the United States.
Suppose the auto industry kept changing the user interface for cars? Sure, the early ones has pedals and a steering wheel, but then they switch to a series of levers, and then a joystick, and then two ropes and a broom handle. It's not "INNOVATING", it's screwing up standardized control interfaces!

The closest thing the house does to cheating is having a house limit.
And going to court to change the results after they lose.

Will the EPA also go after California for the Los Angeles methane leak last year?
Are you joking? The EPA will not even pay to clean up their own mess and for damages caused by it.
So in other words they give lard-asses in the large trucks and SUV a pass to pollute more. Giving a pass isn't the same as 'caring'.
Or they are encouraging people to buy vehicles which are larger and heavier and more expensive than they need to be. I wonder who would want that?
There is already ARM CPUs for servers.
There sure are. And the one available ARM workstation board cost 3 times as much as an Intel workstation board yet has pitiful I/O, memory, and performance ... sort of like an Apple laptop.

Intel ECC systems still cost more than AMD ones but the premium is down to $100s of dollars.
AMD processors have supported ECC for a long time (starting back in the AM2 days.) It's on the motherboard maker to support it, not AMD.
AMD's dedicated CPUs support ECC on the various AM sockets. Their APUs unfortunately do not and it is not clear if Ryzen does.
Since you ask:

Anything else you'd like me to Google for you?
Those are void where prohibited by law.
Ignorance of the law is not a defense.
It is if you are an officer, prosecutor, or judge.
So they used civil assets forfeiture on his property taking his house and car, right?

If this is not a violation of privacy then what is?
It is an unenforceable violation of the 4th amendment. Why should the FBI, any law enforcement agency, or the courts care?
1. Ask your date to do her and her girlfriend.
2. Negotiate down from there.
As you can see, this AMD Zen/Ryzen will be pointless without support for ECC memory.

Trump has already made the statement that he will kill the merger if he can.
He understands, all too well, that such a thing would put too much power into the hands of too few.
Is that his public position or his private position?
Err, never mind. I was thinking of Hillary.
Answer: Touch screen UI.
(It's not a satisfying answer for those of us that hate phone-UI on desktops, but it's the reason.)
It is also not satisfying for those of us who hate glossy screens.

Suppose? What about Chrysler?
