If you can't think of anyone better you should fucking resign right now. Yesterday before you said something so stupid would be better.

Not happening look at Intel's stock price since Tan took over.
Intel's head of thermal design taught my class in vibrations. Guy couldn't do basic calculus.
That makes two of us. I'm guessing his pay is a bit higher than mine, though.
Ah yes, get the guy who says he knows more about manufacturing than anyone else on the planet
Fuck you Intel. And FUUUUUUUUUUUCK Elon Musk.
Just like how they completely revolutionized the way tunnels are dug with the Boring Company. Oh wait...
So cut quality and lie about the performance.
Don’t forget hide backdoors that will be flagrantly abused by engineers who aren’t supposed to be using them. Like Elon.
(Yeah I know he’s not an engineer, but he’ll still be the one doing all the shitty things because of course billionaire manbaby would)
"unconventional"
Sadly that shit is getting to be quite conventional these days.
That's how you get stupid ideas like making chips in space. An idea that was so thoroughly debunked it's ridiculous, already the same day Musk came out with it.
If this is anything other than an attempt to get money from Musk they truly must be out of options.
What the… But heat! Lasers make heat, space is insulating!
Who… why?..
What a life to be literate.
Exactly, only a moron would think it's a clever idea. And that Moron was Elon Musk.
I remembered it slightly wrong though, Musk wanted the data centers in space. Slightly less stupid, but only slightly.
I would say equally stupid. Data centers essentially have two inputs and two outputs (obviously a lot more in real life), data/electricity and data/heat, respectively. All of those are easier on the ground, but removing heat makes it an absolute deal breaker in space. You simply can’t radiate that much heat in space. You would need unrealistically large surface area exposed to the vacuum of space.
Musk is an idiot, but I'm sure he was salivating over all the potential launch fees SpaceX would rake in if some doo-doo brain decided to actually haul a chip foundry into orbit.
Best place was the ocean, which Microsoft tried and decided it wasn’t worth it.
If moronic ideas makes you executive material, may I suggest the south pole? Imagine the cooling efficiency!
All we need is some power plants and other minor infrastructure.
I should be CEO of some company. 🤣🤣🤣
so Intel's CEO is a clueless business bro. too bad
Notes for my next build. I won’t be buying intel. For the same reason that I won’t be buying a Tesla. Elon Musk is a beneficiary via his now existing partnership with Intel, and profits to the company support funding that partnership, which means support for the company is also support for Elon. Fuck Elon and now fuck Intel too.
Epstein class news.

RIP Intel. Joining forces with a guy who turns everything to shit wasn't the best plan. Lmao

Elon Musk is the personification of a moron’s hallucination of a genius.
He is the tape for billions if touched well enough. Only money and making more money later count for the Epstein class.
That just means he’s going to cut quality control.
He can’t think? Poor thing! I mean that’s to be expected of a CEO, I guess!
Oooh, so removed serial liar found a new victim!
As long as he keeps fucking over big bad organisations, I'm fine with it.
Intel is fucked.
Yep, if we are lucky Oracle is next!

Anything for the stock price, and I mean anything! It needs to go up, and it needs to go up now!
CEO clearly desires sabotage.
The picture looks like a Star Trek captain welcoming Jim Carreys Dumb Dumber character.
True that, although JIm Carreys character had a bit more charm.
This one looks like 20 years of hard drugs have passed since the heyday.
An admiral.
Looks at 2022 NUC 13 that was bought for work...
Goddamnit.
Those intel NUC always seemed like a good deal if you don't really need full desktop expansibility and you have a corporate account.
Next Unit of Computing (NUC) 🤡
With a name like that, what did you expect?
Something tells me everything Elon is involved in now is related to "national security" and espionage... Like the capabilities of starlink for surveillance, radar and espionage
what the haillll
