New name was of course - INTegrated ELectronics, or Intel for short. The fact that "intel" was the term for intelligence information was also quite suitable, but that name was already taken by some hotel chain in the mid-west. In the end, Moore & Noyce Electronics bought the name from the chain and renamed itself Intel Corporation.
Well this is extremely unnerving and expected. I mean jesus shit.
Edit: I met a Russian expat in SE Asia, I don't know how correct what he says is, but he's in IT like me and runs his own org, and he says that Russia is ridiculously surveilled with cameras with advanced facial recognition that will easily identify you in spite of disguises like masks or sunglasses or basically anything you try, he says they have absolute control over who and where people are at any given time, and that's where the US is heading full speed.
Edit2: Also, everyone check out Benn Jordan, who's hacking this various shit,
I wanna see people who live near them take a super soaker full of very salty water to the lens. Have fun identifying plates after that, have fun sending your tech out with a paper towel and scratch up the lens by trying to clean it.
I think it can be repaired but it would require an actual human being as a leader. I dont know if you have that over there in politics.
You have plenty in politics. Special interests (mainly but not exclusively the rich) have seen to it that the American electorate would never make any of them president. Billionaires don't buy news and media outlets because they love honest journalism.

Sorry, Yiddish, I think I pointed this out in one of your other threads, and I don't mean to spam, but it bears repeating...
Ring is partnering with Flock:

I inherited a Ring camera with my house and added more, I'm now in the process of de-Ringifying everything.

You know shit is off the rails when the unibomber is starting to sound reasonable.

This shit is suddenly everywhere. It's so dystopian seeing these cameras on every road.

I can't stand seeing this smug jerks face on these videos.

To each their own, but homie is doing some legit reporting.

Smug jerk? How so?

Yeah, Steve is about as non-smug and non-jerk as I've seen in this space.
darkevilmac@lemmy.zip · 16 pts · 291d
I like GN but Steve is definitely a little smug at times, but he's earned it considering how often he's correct.
PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 291d
And Steve is willing to correct himself if he’s not right and not double down on being wrong
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 291d
I think that's mostly for the camera. He seems like a really down to earth guy.

Some people are just intimidated by men with beautiful hair. I got treated quite differently by strangers after I cut mine.
