No, this is probably a story telling the world that China knows more about the US banking system and regulatory agency, than anyone inside of the US banking system and regulatory regime.
Yeah. I built a new 'gaming rig' late last year and it took me all of 2 hours to screw everything together and have an OS installed. Oh boy.
This year's hobby has been turning a Mark 3 VW Golf VR6 into an endurance race car. We just got done cutting out and replacing the floor pans in order to have something solid to weld the roll cage to (lots of rust discovered). Bitching about nine little screws is hilarious when you're working with grinders, welders, cut-off wheels, seam sealant, etc.
The trick that many people never caught on to was that motherboards would assign IRQs to the PCI slot. Have a conflict? Move the card. Conflict solved.
In the AGP days, the AGP slot and the PCI slot right next to it would share on 90% of the boards out there.
The beginning of IRQs not being a thing any more was with PCI level-triggering of interrupts. In order to complete the transition, legacy ISA devices either needed to go away, or have non-configurable interrupts so they wouldn't get in the way of PCI doing it's thing.
For example, you can still have a COM1 in a modern PC, and it will even be on IRQ04. PCI will rightly carve out a hole for serial UARTS on IRQ04 / 03.
A midrange video card will use 150W max. A midrange current generation desktop CPU will use 150W max. If you're using an SSD, you aren't pulling the full load that a hard drive is capable of.
A 500W power supply is likely sufficient, a 750W more than sufficient. 1KW power supply is total overkill and completely unnecessary unless running multiple GPUs.
Don't worry, they had a witch hunt in the 1960s when they lost 3 astronauts in the Apollo 1 fire, complete with Congress critters trying to put the brakes on the whole thing.
well it's not like electrons are in short supply. Ongoing revenue for a commodity that doesn't actually get used up means it's just a giant profit center. Yes, there is network maintenance and upgrading, but apparently they aren't doing the upgrading any more without having the EU capitulate.
Governing actually does have something to do with 5G: the spectrum that the operators use for that wireless communication is regulated by the government. The back-haul fiber from all those cell masts is running in government-granted easements and right-of-way.
The telcos are playing a particularly dangerous game here. They push it too far and they could see their network disappear right in front of them.
You're pretending like this isn't rent-seeking behavior on the part of the telcos, when that's exactly what it is. They want to charge the content providers as well as the receivers. It's a straight up money grab, and has nothing to do with "commercial viability" other than that they are greedy motherfuckers who just refuse to upgrade their networks unless they can squeeze every Euro out of it possible.
Even toll road operators don't make you pay to get off the road. Only to get onto it.
I don't feel sorry for the telcos at all. They made this bed with their monopolistic practices and shameless fraud and theft of billions of taxpayer dollars.
It's time we the taxpayers got what we paid for over the last 20 years of excise taxes.
I say revoke their license to the spectrum that they are already using, and if they continue to operate in it, fine them horrendously or jail the management until they rescind this clearly corrupt pact. And watch as all their subscribers move to another operator who instantly caves.
Maybe things in the EU are different, but a company would be suicidal to try this in the US.
The EU says "Fuck you, we're granting spectrum at half price to the first operator to sheds this corrupt collusive pack and deploys 5G networking equipment and lights it up available to the public. The remainder of the signatories to this pact will either be denied spectrum, or it will be licensed at vastly increased pricing. Including re-licensing of existing spectrum."
You can't blackmail government, when your entire business model hinges upon resources that are granted to you by that same government.
Yeah, I'll be looking into third party candidates, even though there's effectively no way they can win. I'm not big on 'protest votes', but I can't endorse either of these two. I simply can't do it. I can't vote a flip-flopping focus-polling stands-for-nothing-but-self-enrichment unindicted felon, and I can't vote for a jingoistic Dorito-tinted race-baiting proto-fascist who can't even grasp the basics of the constitutional government he wants to run.
This is going to be a frightening 4 years, where Congress will have the solemn responsibility to put the brakes on anything these two want to do. And that's the best case.
She testified under oath that there was no classified information sent or received by her email server to the Benghazi Committee. The FBI just had a big press conference saying they found 100+ classified documents that were classified at the time of sending / receiving. The FBI director just testified under oath to the House Government Oversight Committee that there was classified material in the emails, which was classified at the time of delivery.
Pending perjury charges? Probably not, because no "reasonable prosecutor" has the balls to try it.
It was always Mac OS from version 8, until the "OS X" branding that came along around 10.8 or so. the first 8 versions of OS X were officially "Mac OS X v10.[0-7]"
Yes, you can vote for whomever you wish, and I hope that everyone does. But the reality of the thing is that the two major parties get 95% of the votes; I'd like to see one of them nominate someone who isn't completely unqualified and totally naive to the damage they cause just by opening their mouth, or the most corrupt politician in three generations.
I imagine that boards are designed with the spec as a minimum, knowing that devices can overload those 12V lines. That doesn't mean that every board from every manufacturer is designed that way - there could definitely be some cheap piece of shit that is at 95% of it's design rating when at the spec, and if something starts overloading that power connection it lets out the magic smoke...
It does matter, if the 12V traces on the motherboard are spec'd to handle the proper wattage, and you pull a greater wattage through them. You will obviously get extra heat, but some shit boards may actually burn out from being run in overload.

Fighting a nation-state is exactly the same as fighting people who spend their lives trying to be hidden.

They may not be in malls, but their own separate establishments now. Like Dave and Busters.

I think you'll find in a lot of legal circles, the term "unlimited" is fungible.

I don't think they would come out ahead if they can no longer operate a wireless network.
Liquidating the business because of attempting to blackmail the government and failing is not coming out ahead.

It did have critical things on it. The FBI says so. Top Secret things.
Let's keep the record honest.

Nope.
Classified information does not get unclassified by executive fiat from the Secretary of State's office. There's an actual process.
Ok, how about this evidence:
She testified under oath that there was no classified information sent or received by her email server to the Benghazi Committee.
The FBI just had a big press conference saying they found 100+ classified documents that were classified at the time of sending / receiving.
The FBI director just testified under oath to the House Government Oversight Committee that there was classified material in the emails, which was classified at the time of delivery.
