I never said they couldn't have their moments where they totally nerd it up and talk about linux.

 

Just sayin they need to tread carefully. If they go too far in that direction it's only going to appeal to a certain limited amount of people.

i hear what you are saying! but i think you have read to much into my reply. but come to think of it why would it be a bad thing to have a more techie show? , why should the show bend to the whim of the unwashed masses whos tech ability is at the limit of posting a new facebook status or looking for the cats who wantz cheeseburgers.

 

again not a personal attack on your comment.

Because if you want a show to have more than 1 season then you need a show to appeal to as many people as possible.

 

And making it so tech oriented that only a small minority of people who are interested in that stuff isn't going to do that.

I just finished watching this show.  It is so cool.  It definitely has the original Matrix's dystopian view of society, especially with the fiction E Corp running virtually everything.  So, I have a question, since Elliot views E Corp as Evil Corp, when it shows it that way on news tickers, is that how the news is calling them?  Or is it just Elliot's imagination?  The same with his boss calling them Evil Corp; is he really saying that, or is that just what Elliot hears?

 

I can't hardly wait for episode 2!

I thought it was only how he sees it.

He explains that he has conditioned himself to see them as Evil Corp and the show is from his perspective / point of view.

Thoughts of Ep 3? I liked it which is good after not enjoying episode 2 that much.

 

Some things - spoiler warning

 

very interesting developments with Tyrell. Paying to beat the ###### out of a homeless guy. The way he was with his wife who is pregnant. The gay sex. Rooting the phone. 

 

And the whole Evil Corp connection to Angela's mum and Elliot's dad's death.

 

Ollie coming clean and Angela dumping him then un-dumping him 5 minutes later.

 

Elliot getting a "girlfriend" in the most awkward way possible.

He mentioned at the start of the 3rd episode that the hospitals computer systems run on Windows 98 ... but the screenshot they showed, says differently

 

 

You're right - that looks like either Windows 2000 or Windows ME.  That Recycle Bin icon is definitely not Win98.  Good catch warwagon!  I love his exposition.  This is William Highsmith.  He's an idiot.  Course it's not entirely his fault; he has a yearly IT budget of $7,000.

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years by Pradeep Viswanathan TSMC is now leading the chip manufacturing industry with its 2nm-class process node called N2. Samsung Foundry also has a 2nm-class process node called SF2. TSMC says N2 entered volume production in Q4 2025. Samsung says SF2 started mass production in 2025. Today, IBM announced the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, marking another major semiconductor research milestone. The new technology is based on a 0.7nm, or 7-angstrom, node and uses a new transistor architecture called “nanostack.” The new design vertically stacks and staggers nanosheet-based transistors so that more components can fit into the same chip area while also improving performance and power efficiency. IBM claims that this new sub-1nm chip can pack nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. This offers almost twice the density, up to 50 percent higher performance, or 70 percent better energy efficiency when compared to IBM's 2nm node design announced back in 2021. Also, IBM mentioned that this new architecture can deliver 40 percent SRAM scaling. It is important to consider that this announcement from IBM is a research milestone rather than a near-term process node launch. Back in 2021, IBM unveiled the world’s first 2nm chip design, claiming 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip and major performance and efficiency gains. Five years later, IBM’s 2nm technology has still not entered mainstream commercial production. That is because IBM is no longer a major commercial chip manufacturer. It sold its chip manufacturing business to GlobalFoundries years ago and has since then focused only on semiconductor research, IP development, and partnerships. To productize its 2-nm chip technology, IBM partnered with Japan’s Rapidus, but it has not resulted in anything shipping at scale. IBM says that its new sub-1nm technology can reach production as early as within the next five years. If that happens, it will likely depend on manufacturing partners, advanced EUV tooling, and years of yield improvements.

      It's funny when thieves accuse other thieves of stealing. Ai companies just blatantly siphoned all the knowledge of the internet without consent and are now selling it with their service... so excuse me if I find this a bit ironic.
