PS. On the other hand: "Intel Is Apparently Making a Bitcoin-Mining Chip to Save GPUs for Gamers" (https://gizmodo.com/intel-is-apparently-making-a-bitcoin-mining-chip-to-sav-1848378634). DS.
That's taking a valid ID to a whole new level!
That's both good and bad. Good because it hopefully frees up more graphics cards for us gamers and brings prices back to Earth. Bad because it might be an incentive for even more people to start crypto-mining.
So you have aquaintances likely to do such a thing?I just hope those blokes aren't anyone I know! -p
What you need Pibs is solar power like I have, where the gov't actually pays me for putting some of my excess power back into general use for those who don't have solar. I guess it helps that we have 365 days of sunlight a year!!

Looking forward to the singularity?
Hah! This is what you can experct: Robot vacuum cleaner escapes from Cambridge Travelodge (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-60084347)
I quote: "They normally sense the lip at the entrance [to the hotel] and turn around, but this one decided to make a run for it."
pibbuR who from now on will make sure to keep all doors shut when turing on his version of said device.
Nvidia Deal to Buy Arm From SoftBank Is Off After Setbacks
The deal, which was initially valued at $40 billion, encountered regulatory scrutiny, including an F.T.C. lawsuit.
[..]
But Qualcomm, Microsoft and others that license Arm technology argued that the deal could harm their businesses. That resonated with some regulators.
In its lawsuit to block the deal, the F.T.C. asserted that Nvidia, which also licenses Arm technology, would be able to restrict access to that technology or manipulate the price that other chip companies paid for the technology. Nvidia also could misuse confidential information those companies shared with Arm, the agency said.
Nvidia and Arm rejected those arguments. Mr. Huang has repeatedly insisted that Nvidia would keep Arm’s business model. He also said the deal would bolster innovation, as Nvidia’s financial resources would allow Arm to develop more technology more quickly.
Nvidia also proposed remedies to allay regulator concerns. Those included setting up a wholly separate licensing entity, as well as licensing Arm-based intellectual property developed by Nvidia to all companies on a nondiscriminatory basis.
