I think someone would get those Intel X86 rights. However there may be questions on whether the rights from AMD like A64 are transferable. But if some company buys the entire Intel X86 division, I bet that counts as the patents remaining within the division that has the rights, although it is under different ownership. We recently had the Arm vs Qualcomm case that showed this can be allowed.
Anyways this might be disruptive, and the immediate effect would probably be that AMD X86 will be a lot more expensive.

Margarine is hardened plant oil or technically it can also be made from animal fat. So this is neither margarine or butter, it is synthetic butter, since it synthesized chemically, rather than made by the traditional more natural method.
But yes capitalism indeed. Why try to help the world if you can’t make money on it? 🙄

Uh-oh, there are no results for this search.
Qwant:
No results found.
I also searched without the quotes, but couldn’t find a similar phrase in any of the search results I checked, searching the resulting articles for dying and people did not turn up anything similar to your comment.
I agree Melania isn’t any better than Trump, but unless you can provide a source, I’ll have to consider your quote as fake.

I don’t think so, I have the exact same experience. Pretty ordinary words are unknown, and simple spelling mistakes/typos often have very bad suggestions, so you have to correct manually.
This is the greatest weakness of Firefox IMO, if someone has a suggestion, it would be extremely nice.

Buffalox@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Zara ads banned in Britain because of 'unhealthily thin' modelsEnglish2·5 days agoI have all ads blocked, I never see ads in my everyday life, not on TV, not on my phone or on my computer, and not on radio. I’m personally 99.9% ad free.
But the only reason that’s possible, is because we are a tiny minority, probably about 90% of people don’t care enough or don’t know how to get around the advertising.To do that for everybody would be a major shift for society, that is not possible to do without a strong legal framework to achieve it, something that is not at all realistic in the current political situation in any place in the world.
So I think for now, the best we can do, is to regulate very thin models in the situation we are debating here.

Buffalox@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Zara ads banned in Britain because of 'unhealthily thin' modelsEnglish1·5 days agoThe fashion industry is so much more than just the “circus” you mention. That is just the top of the iceberg. These standards have also spread to more common fashion, advertising clothes for ordinary people.
I would much rather see positive education into how to actually be fit and healthy, so that teens have no reason to look at these circus performers as a template.
If there’s a method for that, that actually works, that would be great.
Buffalox@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Zara ads banned in Britain because of 'unhealthily thin' modelsEnglish1·5 days agoBut nobody wants to look like a sad, malnourished bonerack
That is more common than you are probably aware of. Of course they don’t see it that way, they only see themselves as too big, even when they are far from it.
Unfortunately many clothes designers prefer models that are basically clothes racks. This is AFAIK the reason the standards have become so unhealthy they need to be regulated.
There are plenty horror stories about fashion houses that pressure their models to lose weight, and even provide drugs to endure not eating, despite they are already underweight. So there is 100% a widespread unhealthy attitude towards weight in the fashion industry, that needs to be regulated. The same is not the case for being fat that I have ever heard about.we should not be normalizing obesity
Absolutely, but there also needs to be the possibility for clothes brands that specialize in clothing for “big” people to show their products in a reasonable way.
It can be very difficult for both overweight and even just tall women to find clothes that fit well. I don’t think banning advertising that helps anybody.
It’s very obviously not either a fashion or beauty ideal.
This is not normally nearly as much a problem for thin people. Although it can be for very small women too, I’ve heard of some that have to buy clothes and shoes for Children.
Buffalox@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Zara ads banned in Britain because of 'unhealthily thin' modelsEnglish1·5 days agoAbsolutely overweight is a public health problem. But overweight is not a beauty or fashion ideal. It’s a very different problem.
People are getting eating disorders in attempts to become thinner than they should, which is why extremely thin models in some places are not allowed in fashion modelling. It’s not just to protect the models, it’s also to prevent an unhealthy ideal.
Buffalox@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Zara ads banned in Britain because of 'unhealthily thin' modelsEnglish11·5 days agoFalse equivalence.
Obese is not a fashion standard people pursue, being extremely thin is.It is not just about being unhealthy, it’s about not setting unhealthy standards.
Buffalox@lemmy.worldto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Honda Is Giving Up on the All-Electric Dream28·5 days agoHonda Is Giving Up on the All-Electric Dream
I don’t think so, EU and China are going fully electric within a decade, AFAIK those 2 markets are more than half the total global market for cars. So giving up on EV, they might as wall just close down.
The move is a major setback for the EV industry
LOL no. Honda is a late adopter and is still only a minor player in the EV industry.
This may be somewhat true for USA, but USA is fucked anyway, with tariffs ruining competition, so Americans can only buy shitty cars or overpriced cars, but that would be an entirely different story. But the US market in no way represent the global EV industry.
Buffalox@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Zara ads banned in Britain because of 'unhealthily thin' modelsEnglish11·5 days agoI answered EXACTLY that several times.
Buffalox@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Zara ads banned in Britain because of 'unhealthily thin' modelsEnglish21·5 days agothen it’s extreme mindset,
I never made that claim. I changed the wording of that post to make it crystal clear although it should already have been obvious. You were extrapolating beyond the meaning of my words.
I’m not moving the goalpost, but you keep changing the subject to fat and body builders. Different subjects have different arguments.
The reason super thin fashion models are banned remains the same, they cause an unhealthy ideal that is impossible for women in general to follow, causing some to develop eating disorders among other things.This is in no way the case for fat models or sports models. You are definitely attempting to make your whataboutism stick, despite it’s 100% irrelevant and besides the point of why thin models are a problem.
Just because in your mind fat hypothetically could be the same doesn’t make it so. All research shows that very clearly. Fat models do not make people want to be fat.and as someone who’s been friends with many people who are naturally skinny
I have a friend who is black, so don’t call ME a racist! /s
What a lame argument, you don’t know me, My ex was naturally very thin or “skinny”, except she wasn’t really, what she was, was hyper stressed, and at the age of 35 she had a stroke!
I also knew another girl who was anorexic, and she really struggled with it. Apart from that I’ve known many people men included that are very slim. Don’t pretend that a few thin people represent the majority of what this problem is about. My opinion is based on the research and the arguments that were the basis for regulating models in some countries, and frankly all countries should have that. That has nothing to do with shaming people who are unusually thin, because obviously you shouldn’t do that.
Buffalox@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Zara ads banned in Britain because of 'unhealthily thin' modelsEnglish21·6 days agoWhataboutism?
You could say what about lots of things, but what about arguing your case?
Body building is not at all within a similar category of fashion magazines setting an unhealthy standard as for being thin.Mention One high end fashion company that uses extreme body builders for their models.
Body building is a sport, being thin is not a sport.Although body building is also extreme, it is a different category and a different debate.

AMD was absolutely hitched to global foundries for years, it was only because glofo decided to not go for 7nm, that AMD was allowed by glofo to use TSMC for the Ryzen 3000 series (Zen 2), and was partially released from the agreement ahead of time, provided they still had substantial orders with GloFo, which they honored with continuing discounted sales of the Ryzen 2000 series produced at glofo 12nm, and also using GloFo 12nm for their l3 cache chips. AMD maneuvered the situation brilliantly, and turned necessity into an advantage.
