Following the decision, Nvidia estimated the decision would cost the GPU giant nearly $10.5 billion in the first half of its 2026 fiscal year. AMD reported the export ban would cost the firm $1.5 billion in lost revenues in 2025.

and they wouldn't be able to find customers elsewhere for their in-demand products to mitigate some or even all of that "lost" revenue?

if you go in not knowing what to do, it can seem 'difficult'. but it's mostly like on any other oem prebuilt:

optional: prep the target disk (backups, wipe or clear part table, etc), reset bios to defaults.

if necessary: switch from raid or rst to ahci sata mode, default boot mode to efi, disable secure boot. note that some distributions support secure boot but your method of creating an installer might not--you may be able to re-enable if you want after install.

note that hp systems have a hoop to jump through (a confirmation prompt to disable) after disabling secure boot on the next startup. do not use esc key to trigger boot menu, use f9 for boot menu, f10 for bios entry.. as esc will cancel the confirmation code prompt and automatically re-enable secure boot.

insert or plug-in installer, hit the magic key upon power on (f12 for dell, f9 for hp) to bring up boot menu and select installer media, boot and run installer.

They explicitly did not accuse the Trump campaign of seeking out or cooperating with the Russian interference

"russia, if you're listening.."

busch still works here, too. anheuser-busch was acquired by belgium-based inbev in 2008.

store brands here are about a third the price (36% currently), it's what i get for at home. i only get 'the real thing' when i'm getting a meal somewhere.

it wasn't a terrible idea, just the implementations of it--in the efforts to extract maximum profits.

payroll for off-screen employees and contracted workers is probably at least 3x that much when you include benefits costs, taxes, and other related expenses.

it's your car now, not the bank's. so you can reduce your coverage and lower your premiums. the higher rates are to make sure the insurance company doesn't lower their profits when you drop the 'full' coverage.

denied! trumpidiotism is a pre-existing condition.

should have been done decades ago. would have been quite a bit harder to implement before the tech that enables it to be done efficiently, though.
