You can always fork firefox
You could fork Chromium too.

Hell yeah! Who needs yesterday's data when today's data is so much better. Preach!
I’ve honestly never understood why someone at Google or Mozilla hasn’t decided to write a JavaScript Standard Library.
It prevents people from passing down wealth
Unless you're very wealthy and put your real estate into a company, and pass down the company to your children without paying taxes on it.
This is what's currently happening in Belgium: https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20230324_96938388
ad blockers “infringe copyright by altering HTML elements on their sites”,
LOL that's like saying you're infringing copyright if you rip a page out of a book or magazine, or scribble some notes in it.
They're already harvesting my data. The greedy fuckers can fuck right off if they think I'm going to pay a subscription for that. It's not as if Google isn't profitable as it is. They just want more, and it will never be enough.
Ralph lives!
Pentium 2 and 3 had rudimentary protection. They would simply shutdown if they got too hot. Pentium 4 was the first one that would throttle down clock speeds.
Anything before that didn't have any protection as far as I'm aware.
That’s not true. It was just last year that some of the Ryzen 7000 models were burning themselves
I think he was referring to "back-in-the-day" when Athlons, unlike the competing Pentium 3 and 4 CPUs of the day, didn't have any thermal protections and would literally go up in smoke if you ran them without cooling.
Why does that graph show Epyc (server) and Threadripper (workstation) processors in the upper right corner, but not the equivalent Xeons? If you take those away, it would paint a different picture.
Also, a price/performance graph does not say much about which is the superior technology. Intel has been struggling to keep up with AMD technologically the past years, and has been upping power targets and thermal limits to do so ... which is one of the reasons why we are here points at headline.
I do hope they get their act together, because we an AMD monopoly would just be as bad as an Intel monopoly. We need the competition, and a healthy x86 market, lest proprietary ARM based computers take over the market (Apple M-chips, Snapdragon laptops,...)
Google bankrolls Firefox basically.
