The sole reason amazon is throwing any money at this is because they think they can do to AI what they did with logistics and shipping in an effort to slash costs leading into a recession (we cant fire anyone else.) The hubris is magnanimous to say the least.
but the total confidence is very low...so "Nvidia friendly" is face saving to ensure no bridges they currently cross for AWS profit get burned.
generally its not hard to disable.
- identify the telematics module in your car - pull the fuse (not always an option, sometimes this disables bluetooth)
- alternatively: identify the 1-2 SMC connectors on the telematics device. this is the LTE and low/alt channel for the cellular communications. disconnect these 1-2 connectors and connect the ports instead to a 50 ohm terminator. the vehicle will simply continue to collect data but never be able to send it anywhere. the system will assume it just cant find a tower.
- Upgrading a kubernetes cluster may as well be an olympic sport. its so draconian most best practice documentation insists you build a second cluster for AB deployment.
- load balancers come in half a dozen flavours, with the default options bolted at the hip to the cloud cartel. MetalLB is an option, but your admin doesnt understand subnets let alone BGP.
- It is infested with the cult of immutability. pod not working? destroy it. network traffic acting up? destroy the node. container not working? time to destroy it. cluster down? rebuilt the entire thing. At no point does the "devops practitioner" stop to consider why or how a thing of kubernetes has betrayed them. it is assumed you have a football field of fresh bare metal to reinitialize everything onto at a moments notice, failure modes be damned.
what your company likely needs is some implementation of libvirtd or proxmox. run your workloads on rootless podman or (god forbid) deploy to a single VM.
Irredentist pro-war language, Tim Cook? I am so done with Apple. They knew what they did when they chose the words; they certainly spent thousands of hours deliberating them.
This is Lebensraum with Chinese Characteristics.
> "The term is often used to avoid invoking sensitivities over the political status of Taiwan.[16] Contrastingly, it has been used in reference to Chinese irredentism in nationalist contexts, such as the notion that China should reclaim its "lost territories" to create a Greater China.[17][18]"
the Kuomintang lost the war. its effectively the same as if the confederacy retreated to the Florida keys and China maintained a policy of deliberate ambiguity.

in most western countries it is illegal to disclose the nature of the SAR. they will simply end your account with no recourse.
Terahertz radiation is used in airports with (arguable) safety and efficacy. the resolution is sufficient to read protest statements written under a passengers shirt in metallic ink. I wonder if it could read cards should they be specially crafted similarly.
Too little too late has been done to save it. it ran rudderless for 30 years under the hand of marketers and grifters who used stock buybacks and deception to ensure it looked strong in the press. It pioneered things like gaming compiler results to achieve benchmark supremacy. it squandered its potential at the helm of a leadership that cared more about profit than innovation.
Perhaps it will sell to Texas Instruments or motorola but these arent the cherished powerhouses of industry our octogenarian congress reminisces they were. Motorola spends its days focused on niche telecom like apco p25 and IoT nannyware like the snitch puck https://infocondb.org/con/def-con/def-con-33/unmasking-the-s.... it develops very little of the SoC or chips it uses.
the government needs intel, but i suspect will in administrations to come grow increasingly weary and frustrated with its morass of managerial bloat, bureaucratic stagnation and inability to evolve the business model.
