  Maybe, but are there any ARM chips and motherboards you can buy freely (at least for consumers)? No its all embedded, all soldered on, no upgrade path. This is why I hate Apple Silicon you have to buy their trash everything else.

  Tldr government could mismanage and misallocate as if private capital hasn’t done enough damage to Intel.

  Also fuck the markets. There are no “free” markets with chips, x86 is a duopoly. Chip making in general is an oligopoly.

  So the final criticism, “Chinese censorship” argument can be thrown out of the window.

  In other related news, experts are cited by CNBC that DeepSeek’s privacy policy “isn’t worth the paper it is written on."

  Ok, run it yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russian food prices are soaring — but no one dares blame Putin and the war⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, western liberals were calling it Putin’s inflation. And yeah sure, war in Ukraine did contribute to it but the corporations also took advantage of their price setting power.

  And in the Russian case it applies much better. If there were no sanctions, Russia would’ve been able to import more from the international markets. And there are also corps with price setting power there as well. Thank the American puppet Yeltsin for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russia Faces a Wave of Bankruptcies as Borrowing Costs Skyrocket - The Moscow Times⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Central Bank has progressively raised rates since the second quarter of 2023 in a bid to control persistent inflation and support the faltering ruble. However, the soaring cost of borrowing is now pushing many companies toward a dangerous debt spiral, with interest payments consuming one out of every four rubles they earn.

  Ridiculous they are still keeping that 21% rate, it was somewhat understandable for the first few months after Feb 2022 to reduce capital outflows but they should’ve lowered it soon. Really goes to show that they have the same brainworms western central bankers have on interest rates being a tool to control inflation.

  Thing is, in the west, the rates were never this high to cause such carnage (other than under Paul Volcker). Central bank ‘independence’ and its consequences.

  After entering office in December 2023, Milei swiftly imposed his shock therapy in a bid to reverse decades of budget-busting populism that ran up Argentina’s monumental deficits.

  “budget busting populism” aka Thatchers TINA nonsense. Never mention the external debt.
