Anywhere in the modern era basically

Honestly at this point just make a mobile app to control it.

Intel is the only US based and owned foundry that is on the leading edge of fab process technology. That’s what the government wants domestically. Defense isn’t just military and certain intelligence and similar functions need high performance hardware. I somehow don’t think the NSA is using CPUs made on Northrop Grumman’s 180 nm planar CMOS process. Army radios might use that shit but the highest tech defense and intelligence agencies are using modern hardware. Intel is the best option for manufacturing it.

TSMC could be an option now with its US based GIGAFABs but it would be a much more complex deal with the US government where chips made for it would have to be made entirely in the US and possibly by a US domiciled subsidiary instead of TSMC’s main Taiwan based parent company. The same goes for Samsung.

The idea of a QFET or QTFET isn’t particularly new.

Intel is too big to fail. And the defense sector needs an advanced domestic foundry. Uncle Sam will bail it out with our tax money.

Intel already laid off thousands and is still getting CHIPS Act taxpayer money.

Waste time configuring things and troubleshooting things when your ultra custom system breaks.

I use normal KDE because I don’t know how much of a hassle it would be to put everything in containers and use flatpaks for everything.

Not to derail the discussion but this makes me wonder if anyone here in the US actually uses .us or .co.us instead of .com, .net, .org, .edu, or .gov.

The distro is designed to be a bulletproof, highly user-friendly operating system that showcases the best of KDE technology—a system that KDE can confidently recommend to casual users and hardware manufacturers.

So it looks like there will finally be a distribution that Windows, Mac, and ChromeOS users can jump to and just start using without having to learn much and with a much better and more familiar GUI than GNOME.

Why? What’s the issue with Snap? Is Flatpak any better?

I use Fedora KDE but this one sounds like exactly what I need. I primarily use Linux for software dev and web browsing and Windows for gaming and Office.

I keep it default but with dark mode. And that’s perfect for me. I wouldn’t want it to look or function any other way.

KDE Plasma and I refuse to use anything else on Linux unless there’s no choice.

Go look at my comment history.

I’m not a Muslim apologist. I am not a fan of religion in general and Islam in particular. I’ve been downvoted to hell for being against Hamas and Hazbollah. So, nah, I’m pretty consistent.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

What an absolute masterstroke for a software company.

Has Microsoft never heard of testing and QA?

TSMC’s best decision was to never compete with its suppliers or with its clients. Intel unfortunately competes with both and now that has come to back to bite it.

Coincidence?
