Collection of personal data is arguably worth money to them though, for advertising and whatever else they’re doing.

A lot of their chips are fab’d in the US and Israel and Germany and others though. It’s weird that nobody has mentioned all their US fabs. The new ones coming up in Ohio shortly (construction has been going already) will be two next-gen fab plants.

Does Intel make its main CPUs in China?

Looked it up and found this info at least:

Key US Locations:

Arizona (Fab 52 and 62), New Mexico (Fab 9 and 11x), and Oregon (Hillsboro) are major Intel manufacturing hubs in the US, with the new Fab 42 and 32 also being part of a larger campus in Arizona. Ohio is also a major site with construction well underway for two new leading-edge chip factories.

Global Footprint:

Intel also has manufacturing facilities in locations like Israel (Jerusalem, Kiryat Gat) and Ireland (Leixlip).

Expansion and Future:

Intel is actively expanding its global network with new fabs in Ohio, Germany, and other locations, according to Intel Newsroom and plans to make the German fab one of the most advanced in the world.

I just used that for export, but I have yet to try import on it. But I’m assuming it works well, it has good reviews as far as I remember.

Ren from Ren and Stimpy?

They’re fighting harder for non-citizens than citizens at this point it seems. Not entirely sure why.

In an 11th-hour reprieve, the US government last night agreed to continue funding the CVE program.

Have to agree sadly. I searched and followed many people, still my feed is completely devoid of anything useful or interesting. I can keep digging but I feel like a 1% incremental gain from weeks of trying to set the network/profile up and giving zero results feels like a lost cause to some extent. I periodically check back, and it’s more of the same unfortunately.

GrapheneOS offers such an auto-reboot feature (18 hours by default, but the users can set it between 10 minutes and 72 hours), while the iPhone picked up something similar with iOS 18.1 (Inactivity Reboot) last year.

I was referring primarily to things that are known to be good security practices and widely known and used already. Keeping data more secure at rest goes with the “don’t trust anything or anyone” goal, and if not doing it on Android due to said trust or lack thereof, then GrapheneOS offers it too at least.

Thanks for the voice of sanity. There are so many people freaked out by basic security measures that it boggles the mind.

I’ve exclusively used firefox to watch youtube on Arch and Ubuntu for years, never had a problem so far for what it’s worth. I keep a laptop in the livingroom with Arch specifically to have adblocking and piping the video out to the TV. The youtube apps are terrible on the Roku last I remember, haven’t tried it in forever but I think the main reason was I didn’t want to see ads anymore.
