    AMD and Nvidia consume the entirety of TSMC’s CoWoS packaging processes until 2025

    The CoWoS process is specialized but it was formerly used by a lot of companies… Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, Intel, Amazon, Meta, etc… If this is true it completely screws their datacenter AI plans, as well as a lot of other things.

    Opinion: Could Broadcom buy Intel

    Headquarters in Singapore, close ties to the CCP and Huawei. It’s why Broadcom was named in the whole 5G fiasco, and why they will be in the impending 6G one too.

    Opinion: Could Broadcom buy Intel

    Factual answer no, no they couldn’t. The US Govt would not allow that to fall into the hands of China cutting off access to the closest thing to a modern node from a US company on US soil.

    Windows 11 24H2 will enable BitLocker encryption for everyone - happens on both clean installs and reinstalls

    I built a machine with their most recent image yesterday and it didn't do this, but I can't say it wont be something coming in the future. But I do see that on April 26'th Microsoft added some new never before available (to me) options in the admin portal, so I really want to find a piece of...

    Subscription Growth Has Flattened claims games industry analyst

    We as gamers, know it's true, game developers, and journalists know it's true. It is 100% true, but Microsoft in their infinite wisdom seems to believe that Game Pass subscriptions will soar and this will be a bygone issue in due time. So at Microsoft, there are several very distinct camps about...

    Subscription Growth Has Flattened claims games industry analyst

    The other side of this is Game Pass itself is killing XBox game sales, there is a big internal fight over this at Microsoft currently because while subscription income is good and consistent it is flat and it is not covering the spread of game sales. So when a good game gets added to Game Pass...

    Intel 4 is ready to go and 18A is on track for H2 2024

    https://www.extremetech.com/computing/intel-18a-cpus-on-target-for-2025-launch-ceo-confirms Intel please don't f' this up. One interesting sidebar to all this news is that in 2022, Gelsinger announced that Intel 18A was "ahead of schedule." At the time, he noted that it was scheduled for 2025...

    Windows 11 24H2 will enable BitLocker encryption for everyone - happens on both clean installs and reinstalls

    You can but in my experience, I have seen those keys rotate from things you wouldn't expect such as drive firmware updates, Bios updates, and supposedly (I've never seen it myself) Windows updates. So if I had to enable it on my personal machine I would tie it to an online account, to be safe...

    Windows 11 24H2 will enable BitLocker encryption for everyone - happens on both clean installs and reinstalls

    On a business or enterprise side, this would be a Nightmare to navigate for anybody not already using an MDM which most small and medium businesses aren't, on the enterprise side it would be relatively trivial as PCs are more often than not auto-enrolled into their chosen MDM before they even...

    Windows 11 24H2 will enable BitLocker encryption for everyone - happens on both clean installs and reinstalls

    Here's the catch, there isn't a password exactly, I mean there is but only if you have your devices registered to an online account, otherwise you need to use a USB key... This seems like a gross overreach. I know Microsoft is desperate to get more subscribers and what not but this is too much...

    Subscription Growth Has Flattened claims games industry analyst

    People are broke, and there is now a subscription for everything. People are being forced to cut corners and turn to other avenues to get their content, which obviously (yarrr) isn't part of a subscription. Apple arcade growth is flat, Sony PlayStation's growth flat, Microsoft Game Pass flat...
