If you’re referring to the 13&14th Gen chips then yes, Intel is saying it’s on the software side.

Yes, I was, but there was also some initial manufacturing issue with oxidation. That wasn't the bulk of the issues that they were running into, though.

Only the ones that spend their time pooping on every grassy area in America they can find.

Bald eagles: Bald eagles are known to prey on Canada geese, particularly young goslings.

I feel like the US needs more bald eagles around goose hangouts.

They produce an amazing amount of goose droppings.

If the press can disregard NATO reporting names and call that Russian heavy ICBM "Satan 2" because they like the term, I'm pretty sure that you can have the Femboy regardless of NATO's position on the matter.

It does sound like most of that was not actually manufacturing, but design.

It looks like Hamas has 40k members, so I guess maybe at least two non-Hamas dead for each Hamas dead.

IIRC from reading an few earlier articles, the limiting factor is that Iran's nuclear weapons facilities are underground and can potentially only be penetrated with very large weapons. According to what I read, Israel apparently doesn't have conventional weapons that can penetrate, which would mean that the US, with heavier bombers, would have to do the strike (and Biden said that he didn't support hitting the nuclear facilities).

That being said, I haven't seen anything about using multiple weapons to impact the same spot, and I'm suspicious that with the accuracy of weapons today, it may be possible to just repeatedly hit a single spot and break through.

"Israel can damage Iran's nuclear program without US assistance, but it is unclear if it can by itself carry out the type of sustained and penetrating conventional attack that would seriously set back the program," Farzan Sabet, senior research associate at the Geneva Graduate Institute, told Business Insider.

And I guess that it's not impossible that Israel could have -- knowing that Iran has underground facilities -- built something that they've kept quiet specifically aimed at penetration.

I don't know how hard building a tandem-charge weapon is, but Israel has produced the tandem-charge Spike, and I imagine that they could have some kind of heavier tandem-charge weapon that they've quietly tucked away for this sort of situation.

I mean, the article said that Israel didn't give a commitment. You can't exactly lie in not giving a commitment to do something.

The one who said that they wouldn't support a strike on Iran's nuclear program strike was Biden, not Israel.

d pump the digital accelerator on native companies expanding their electric lines.

If I remember correctly from recent articles, existing European production capacity is producing more EVs than people want at the price point that they're going for.

EU car industry calls for urgent action as EV new car sales tumble

New car registrations fell sharply by 18.3% in August across the EU, as the four biggest markets all showed plummeting sales, with double-digit losses in Germany (-27.8%), France (-24.3%), Italy (-13.4%) and Spain (-6.5%).

The market share of electric vehicles fell even more dramatically, by 43.9% compared with the same time last year. Their market share counted for 14.4% in the EU compared with 21% a year ago.

Well, if I remember correctly, Milei's thing is reining in the budget or something, right? I guess that's one way to save money!

 

The fighting is increasing fears about oil supplies, but those worries are offset by greater global production and slowing demand in China.

 

Oil prices spiked on Tuesday after Iran fired a series of ballistic missiles at Israel, pushing prices to the highest level in nearly one year.

West Texas Intermediate (CL=F) rose more than 5% to trade just below $72 per barrel. Brent (BZ=F), the international benchmark price, also climbed roughly 5% to hover firmly above $75 per barrel.

 

The head of an Iranian secret service unit set up to target Mossad agents working in the Islamic Republic turned out to be an Israeli agent himself, according to former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Speaking to CNN Turk, Ahmadinejad claimed Monday that a further 20 agents in the Iranian intelligence team tasked with monitoring Israeli spying activities also turned against Tehran.

 

An unspecified number of troops in the US have been put on prepare to deploy orders, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said on Monday.

“Secretary Austin increased the readiness of additional US forces to deploy, elevating our preparedness to respond to various contingencies,” she said. “I’m just not going to get into specifics for [operational security] reasons, but these forces cover a wide range of capabilities and missions.”

Singh also said that additional air defense support going to the region, announced by the Pentagon on Sunday, are units previously scheduled to deploy that will now be joining units already there instead of replacing them.

The reinforcement of air support capabilities, she said, includes “a certain number of units already deployed to the Middle East region that will be extended, and the forces due to rotate into theater to replace them will now instead augment the in-place forces already in the region.” It will include “an additional few thousand” service members in the region, she said.

“I can tell you these augmented forces include F-16, F-15E, A-10, F-22 fighter aircraft and associated personnel,” Singh said.

 

Lebanese media reports heavy Israeli artillery shelling toward the border village of Wazzani, close to Ghajar.

The reports come amid growing indications of an imminent Israeli ground incursion into southern Lebanon.
