Intel to build $20 billion chip factory in Ohio
waveparticle said:payeco said:GeorgeBMac said:foregoneconclusion said:FYI: this is happening in part because $52 billion in federal support for the chip industry was passed by Congress and signed into law. Intel will be getting a grant from the U.S. government as part of the funding.Plus a billion dollars from the state of Ohio.So who exactly is building this plant?But, that's OK. We need to invest in ourselves, our own country, if we want to keep up. The last 3 decades of austerity have caused us to fall behind in many areas -- not just chips.It's a wise use of money: That $52billion came from not having to throw away a billion dollars a week in Afghanistan. What did that buy us ?
dollars in free money for so long.
Not to mention this isn’t the only industry the Chinese government is pumping money into. Clean/renewable energy is another one.

Dropbox finally testing native Apple Silicon version
Why bother? I switched to Maestral for my Dropbox client and haven’t looked back. It’s supported native Apple Silicon for a while now and it uses a fraction of the system resources of the official client. It doesn’t support binary diff but unless you’re working with huge files that doesn’t really matter. -
