Misunderstanding of the century about to cause some serious damage.
Our guy could have worded that a lot better than he did, guess we’ll see Urumin spiral for a good bit.

In this Episode: Urumin learns where all of her merch share comes from and just how much of a fan Kimiya is

Also peak hair tie usage

This isn’t going to affect Intel usage in the near future.

True, it won’t significantly shift the downtrend Intel is experiencing but it’s one more reason why that downtrend exists. Corporations are already switching over to AMD’s EPYC for their server platforms and Intel is as entrenched as ever in the Laptop side of corporate business (which runs Windows anyway)

Companies generally buy whatever is cheap and available

Not quite true, they buy what makes them the most money for the cheapest price and due to that context Intel has been on the way out for a while now.

Dell, HP, etc rarely offer AMD as an option.

While there are a lot more systems available with an Intel chip saying they rarely offer AMD is stretching it a bit. Dell has listing for 51 Intel and 12 AMD laptop options, HP ~190 Intel and ~90 AMD, there is an imbalance there but if you are a corporate customer looking for something you will find an AMD alternative there. And in the server space Intel has been/is being gradually reduced to the second choice option with AMD EPYC being chosen for the premium products.

And this is just ancillary Linux drivers, not a major make or break component.

Might be ancillary to you and me but to a corporation this is a piece of liability they now would take on when buying new Intel CPUs for servers. Not by a lot but likely by enough to upsell them to the product using AMD instead.

Realistically lt will lead to enterprises using AMD instead, Windows just simply isn’t even an option for many enterprise uses (mainly server applications)

Nah the pendulum is swinging too far into the other direction, especially since there is no betterment in sight. Intel royally shat the bed ever since Zen released and we are now at a point where their lack of a real answer to that is starting to enable the same monopolistic behaviour Intel displayed in AMD

It’s Ursula so the correct answer is she’ll try her best at 1-3 but fail so spectacularly she does his bidding anyway. I’m still unsure whether the woman is corrupt to the core or just incompetent beyond belief.

Also of note is that the dirtier factories here are still sparkling clean compared to those elsewhere so by removing this tax for exports the overall energy bill for heavy industry should see an improvement as more is sourced from relatively cleaner European factories

Blatant corruption, party politics and a decoupling of the politicians from reality to an absurd degree

Edit: no offense taken btw, our politics are a shit show

Yes that is definitely the problem, let’s ignore the structural issues that cause industry to be less competitive or the widening gap between manager and worker compensation, surely those lazy fucks are just not working enough /s

It’s very clear though that a major driving force behind this absolute farce of a deal was the German CDU, our chancellor even congratulated on the deal before he noticed the extremely negative public sentiment against this deal. I worry that our current coalition has their heads stuck up too far in the clouds to fix or address any of the issues we currently have and act in the best long term interest of Germany and Europe, bowing down to Trump might be the “better” solution short term but it makes absolutely no sense for the long term. Especially with the tacked on military package, that’s just an incredibly obvious trap they fell for.

In typical fashion they’re trying to put a bandaid on a rotten limb. By trying to delay the inevitable crisis they are ensuring it will hit us worse.

Isn’t part/most of this that Europe simply exported the carbon-intensive stuff abroad?

Partially true however it is also worth pointing out that industry in the EU produces significantly fewer emissions than the same industries outside the EU. The costs that come with that are largely why industry is outsourcing elsewhere, there is no coordinated effort by some shadow council to export the carbon-intensive industries abroad, just not fully thought out economic policy (producing in the EU causes costs for emissions, importing doesn’t/is easier to fudge, the incentive created by this imbalance is easy to see).

I feel like most people say they don’t care about boob size but really want to say they don’t care about boob size, so long as they are within the “normal” range of “not nearly nothing” and “not a planet yet”

Python, uh, has types tho? Python just doesn’t engage in the same brainless type coercion that JS does, instead type coercion is much more limited and sensible.

Bildung, Soziales und Infrastruktur

du meinst Rente, Steuersenkungen für Reiche und Korruption? SInd wir mal ehrlich, selbst wenn die gesamte Schwarzarbeit auf einmal in Steuerzahlende konvertiert würde, dass Geld würde größtenteils nicht da landen, wo es muss.

Das Problem ist ja auch nichtmal, dass die Leute gar nichts abgeben wollen, aber wenn halt der Handwerker ankommt und sagt “Unter der Hand mach ich’s für die Hälfte” und da am Ende beim Handwerker trotzdem noch bedeutend mehr Geld über bleibt, muss man sich halt nicht wundern.

Im Handwerk ist das so ein großes Phänomen weil Privatleute mit Kleinunternehmen interagieren und die haben beide nicht die Luft die teilweise absurd hohen Abgaben mal eben wegzustecken, den Kunden steht das Wasser finanziell nicht selten bis zum Hals und die Handwerker können aus selbigem Grund keinen ihrer Arbeit gerechten Stundenlohn erwirtschaften, also einigen sich beide Seiten darauf das ganze über weglass der Steuern preislich attraktiver zu gestalten.

Man kann in einem Land halt nicht Jahrzehntelang die Gehälter stagnieren lassen und dann überrascht sein, wenn die Leute anfangen an der Steuer vorbei zu Leben um dann doch irgendwie mehr raus zu bekommen.

Picking up a story after a while does make you wonder who all these people are. Once upon a time I questioned why Light Novels always had a story recap in the first chapter, older me now appreciates those.

At least another dance scene for the is confirmed with this chapter. Can’t wait to see them turn yet another one-panel foot note in the story into an animation masterpiece.

Also Land and Übel are relationship goals of a sorts, or maybe it’s just my shiptrash brain hallucinating.

Monica is one precious blob of social anxiety. Needs more headpats.

Oh and I love the re-use of already broken tea cups for the villainess act, that’s some consideration for the budget right there

Monica is too cute, I’ll contract yet more diabetes at this rate.

She might just get away with everyone thinking she’s just inaudibly quiet while casting the spells
