Are you aware AMD just announced the release of new cpus?
Just making sure, since some people will prefer to wait.
Google is also giving support for its Pixel devices since the Pixel 8 line.
And their Pixel 8a is also going to get 7 years of support, which is neat.
Hopefully others follow.

Nvidia is also currently building their most powerful supercomputer in Israel. And the CEO has also mentioned the Israeli startup Mellanox (which they acquired for 7 billion USD) as an important part of Nvidia’s success.
He also said “Israel is home to world-leading AI researchers and developers creating applications for the next wave of AI,” as recently as the end of last year.
Considering that, their startup accelerator program with over 300 Israeli startups, and their 7 R&D centers in Israel (Intel has 4 facilities), I’d say that by your logic Nvidia is much more “pro-Israel” than Intel. And it’s number 1 in the OP’s article’s list.
Don’t see any Israelis in the board members or owners. Them and the founders all seem to be American. I did see Bangladeshi-born and Malaysian-born Americans on the board.
You’re doing semantics with yourself.
I wrote that ByteDance is headquartered in China and was founded by Chinese. Nowhere did I write “owned by China”.
Tiktok is owned by ByteDance, which is headquartered in China and was founded by Chinese.
Intel is headquartered in the USA and was founded by Americans.
Intel is investing in Israel for the same reason other companies like Nvidia do (who just acquired another Israeli startup last month and has 7 R&D centers in Israel). Innovation and talent.
Intel is an American company.
If you’re bothered by Israeli involvement you should avoid all the companies in that list, including AMD, as they are all invested in Israel and have Israeli teams.
Even large Chinese tech companies like Xiaomi, which has an R&D center in Israel, are invested in Israel.
Just want to add that at the moment AV1 is only beneficial for encoding to lower bitrate videos.
It’s still better to use x265 for high bitrate.
That’s true. But if you look into the test, it includes monitors and has them showing footage with static elements.
At the 6 months mark, which is aprox. 2.5 years real life usage according to RTings, the monitors barely had any burn-in according to RTings - Although I couldn’t see any burn-in. If you compare it to the non-OLED TVs at that mark, many of those had very noticeable uniformity (and other) issues.
So according to this test, the monitors are already doing better than LCDs.
Other than the Samsung S95C which is the newest model in their test.
16 months of extremely intensive tests which isn’t how you’ll use these IRL. Which is why they refer to it as “accelerated longevity test”.
If you’ll read a bit more about the test and the results, you’ll see that all of the LCDs there are also having other permanent issues.
According to them, if your usage includes varied content, burn in won’t be an issue.
If you don’t, reading more about the test and about specific monitors / TVs you’re curious about will give you a better idea.
Have you seen RTings’ articles about this?
Like: Real-Life OLED Burn-In Test On 6 TVs
Seems to really depend on your usage, and newer ones are even better according to their latests test:

Updates And Results From 100 TVs
Just be aware that for a period of time the MX 500 had many reports of high failure rate. Not sure if it was due to a change of components or firmware.
Example post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/whr5ek/crucial_mx500_historically_good_recent_batches/
An article (In Portuguese).
And another post about it.
Personally I use Newmaxx’s site and spreadsheet which has more indepth information about the SSDs like their controllers and NAND type - https://borecraft.com/
You can also check their subreddit for some reviews and such.
That and some stats from Backblaze and general reviews.
And I use price trackers to make sure I’m getting a good price.
I don’t like going by specific brands, because they all have some less ideal models and some of them tend to change some of the components after a while.
Ah I forgot it depends on the country.
In Canada for example, it’s legal to copy a borrowed CD.
I can also buy a CD and if I live with family members / roomates, share it and let them play it whenever they want without them paying for it.
Or let people copy it.
I understand the feeling.
But when someone buys music from you and then puts it in house parties for tens of other people, those people are also listening to your music without paying.
And a lot of people these days will never pay for a specific artist’s music.
They’ll use a streaming service like Spotify, which barely pays anything to small artists (especially when free users listen to the music, and not premium users).
But I can use Spotify for free, listen to small artists’ music, share it with other people, and it will be considered legal and “ok”.
And personally, whatever I pirate, I wouldn’t have bought in the first place without being able to try it. So it isn’t a lost sale.
Tailscale funnel lets you expose services to the internet without opening any ports.
There’s also the option of inviting your friends to your Tailscale network and limiting them to specific services. But they’ll have to install it on their devices.
Just chiming in about Tailscale.
The initial connection uses their server just to reach / connect to the other peer. After that, the peers are connected directly and all communication is direct.
Better to pirate it.
The original devs were kicked out and the current owners are scummy.
