So Gerard and Bruno left #Qualcomm to form the new Nuvia, #Nuvacore. Keep an eye on this one.

Kargh Island sounds better when said in it's native Klingon.
The charge for 3 million followers leaps forward, only 2,999,000 or so to go. Who's with me?
And this is how you live vicariously through a tech journalist. :)
Too...easy....to...make...jokes...must...resist...
Not yet, in the middle of it all I noticed my email stopped at 12:40pm. Started going over it. Cert expired but that took a while for someone other than me to fix. Way behind already today and calls soon. SIGH.
You are welcome. Always glad to chat.
This rant is the long way of saying that when things are written, they could be very right but not end up happening. Not trying to walk back my NV story, I fully stand by every word, just giving some background on how things often work and how to parse PR-speak.
Not sure how many times things changed, and to be fair we usually got wind of the change long before it occurred, but it was policy at a major semiconductor company.
And as an aside, I had a friend who used to be PR at a major GPU company tell me that in the distant past, years starting with 200, when the Inq would publish a leak, they would have a meeting to see if it was worth changing the time/date/whatever to make us appear wrong.
Another trick to use that 3:30pm announcement is to change the time/date/a minor fact that was correctly called out but now the story is 'wrong'. Happens all the time, ask any journalist how often they have seen an embargo lift change for no apparent reason.
If you don't know how to parse the PR lies, you can understandably assume that the basic premise of the story was 'wrong', not the tiny bit they are calling out without specificity. This is _SO_ common you wouldn't believe it.
For example, if you claim a ton of things correctly, and say that there will be an announcement at 3:30pm on the first of April, and the announcement is set for 3:00pm on April 1, then they will say the story is 'wrong'.
One common trick is that if a story has a bunch of facts, lets say 20 things it claims overall which is not uncommon, and one is wrong, they can deny the whole story as 'wrong' and usually do.
Those who don't deal with dishonest PR (Note: Not all PR is dishonest, not trying to say that), you don't know or want to believe the shit they pull. I have the scars for the stabbing in the back to get many of the games, the most vivid ones are from NV in the Fermi era.
One other thought, some sources said it was JHH talking so their statement could be technically true. I would hold out for the PC maker in question to publicly state in an official SEC filed form that there are no discussions going on.
And Musk and Intel. And Intel 10nm. And AMD rocking 40nm. Oh wait, I missed that last one bad but overall, I think my record is pretty solid.
I know what I know and stand by my story.
If anyone has access to Benzinga Pro, can you tell me the name of the author who broke my subscription? I don't want the article, just who. Thanks.
Err yo?
I need to hang out with you more.
Welcome to life. :) That said time for lunch.
Ill check it out when things calm down. Thanks
Waiting for the first DM with a link to a sketchy plugin and instructions to set the PW on it to, "IaMn0tAhAx0R". :)
Both did but I am talking about NV here. Early 4G silicon. Next time we meet, ask me about something I can't print for a few decades, you will understand.
Any insight anyone has to drop RAM usage would be appreciated.
Actually you were at The Inq when that went down right?
Remember what happened last time they tried, and why it died a horrible death? So many bridges were burned, pissed on, and then nuked from orbit that... well the industry is stupid.
That said I _AM_ working on something that may not be tied to anything we are talking about other than the space.
FYI.Can you see where I rebooted once to get things back up and again when I upped the RAM settings? No points if you can because it is blindingly obvious. :)
I should make an unwarranted crack about changing jobs but I think someone we both know would remember it and give me enormous shit when we next meet. :)
BTW there are SO many interesting details about this that I can't post without outing multiple sources. That said it explains a lot of stupidity last year.
