Stingy bastards.

They’d likely get more than 79000 × $30 of marketing ‘captial’ for just saying “oops, our mistake, but your benefit” and honouring it.

And chalk it up to not training your marketing team on how to use excel.

deadbeef79000,

Bold of you to assume this isn’t just a huge CSV loaded into Excel.

deadbeef79000,

They’re prepared to pay up $400m to rebrand countdown supermarkets to Woolworths. They’re not strapped for cash ;-)

deadbeef79000,

so what’s the commercial barrier to releasing that info? Transpower have nothing to gain.

The barrier is that someone will be willing to pay for real-time data, which, when an MBA gets involved becomes a revenue opportunity and giving it away for free becomes theft of potential revenue.

deadbeef79000,

I really don’t like that underscore.

deadbeef79000,

I quite like “Pop!OS”.

Or perhaps a play on IBM: OS/Pop!

Now that I think about it. It’s just the !_ being beside each other that bugs me: OS_Pop! is cool.

deadbeef79000,

I’m reasonably sure it’s the popping sound you make with your mouth oh ess.

deadbeef79000,

No, your thinking of RHEL which is danish for “redhatsegregiouslicensingbullshit”.

deadbeef79000,

Gentoo enters the chat

deadbeef79000,

Exactly that.

This is just disenfranchisement.

deadbeef79000,

“Very few countries” actually have fair elections. So there’s that.

deadbeef79000,

The close a lie is to the truth the better the lie. Sometimes the truth is the best lie of all.

deadbeef79000,

It’s the only way to be sure

deadbeef79000,

Oh for a sweet blessed time I’d forgotten about xXx.

But, more Riddick, please.

deadbeef79000, (edited )

No that’s Thorin, your thinking of a sharp growth on the stem of some plants.

deadbeef79000,

I’ll go give you a hint: you made some crap CPU’s and rather than binning them as lower spec’d units you sold them as is and then claimed they were performance units.

This meant that the spec overhead that previously MB manufacturers relied on to stretch the performance wasn’t there anymore.

TL;DR: greed

deadbeef79000, (edited )

I personally try to support the underdog, so AMD when it comes to x86.

Intel also refuses to provide Vulkan drivers for older CPU’s iGPU’s to drive consumers towards buying new systems, which I considered a dick move, and upgraded that laptop with an AMD based replacement.

We bought three 13900’s for workstations at work, got burnt with two of them, bought 7950X3D’s instead for the next three.

So, if you’re set on Intel (which is your prerogative) ask someone else ;-)

deadbeef79000,

In the last few years, IMHO, single core performance has been irrelevant (for me personally and professionally).

Almost everything can be parallelized, it’s just a bit harder to implement.

I’ve found disk I/O to be the biggest bottleneck recently, PCIe 5.0 NVMe has done more for speed than an extra few MHz have in years.

deadbeef79000,

Straight from the Boeing book.

deadbeef79000,

… for the last one.

Carrying water from the well in that pot.

deadbeef79000,

is more suspicious of the “straight” lines supposedly projected into a globe

deadbeef79000,

Fun fact: watersheds are how we define our regions in NZ.

Though a region may consist of more than one watershed, but not less than one or a partial one.

deadbeef79000,

El Reg pulls no punches.

deadbeef79000,

It’s a mouse, you put it in the ring!

deadbeef79000,

Tens of thousands of civilian casualties is the price we are willing to pay for a strategic military asset the the middle east.

After all, tens of thousands of civilian casualties is the price we are willing to pay for the 2nd amendment.

We’d be hypocrites otherwise.

– US Congress, probably.
