Comment on Intel CPU Temperature Monitoring Driver For Linux Now Unmaintained After Layoffs

So, their chips become unsuitable for enterprise servers. Datacenters avoiding them and buying AMD. Intel losing enterprise market share and revenue. Reduced revenue causes next layoffs, probably again people working on things that keep the business working. Shoots itself in the foot and being surprised about the consequences.

And AMD becoming a monopoly, nice, nice world

Monopolies are good for the consumer as it makes purchasing decisions easier. Some tech markets such as the GPU one show how well a monopoly can work for shareholders.

Monopolies are good for the consumer?
Respectfully, what the fuck are you talking about. That has never been true ever.

Based on the last sentence, I believe it’s satire.

How did you get that downvote? Must have been a mistake.

Yeah, wouldn’t it be amazing if for example Apple has the monopoly on the smartphone market, so your purchasing decision would be to buy an iPhone, or a slightly larger iPhone, or fuck all? And they would have no competition - which is the definition of a monopoly - so they could price them at whatever they wanted to. They could even make the American iPhone a reality, because let’s be real, it’s kinda hard to function without a phone these days.
Aren’t monopolies such a great thing for consumers :))))

That story is really sad. To me it seems like a failing of the parents/education system to not teach the son who was 17 that selling a kidney is a bad idea.

That is what the tariffs are for and Apple has promised to invest a shit ton of money into manufacturing those phones here… so they can raise the prices to the ceiling of the tariffs imposed on China, India, Thailand, Indonesia … etc. There are no other smart phones manufactured in the US so they will effectively… have a monopoly.

Decisions easier, quality and sanity suffers, though.
