'No one knows how to make a pencil.'
I'll admit, I am completely ignorant on how chips are made (although I did some work in a lab working on thermal transfer compounds for Intel... Dear Lord- 25 years ago.) I was going to ask whether anyone had seen anything about new rare earth mines being opened in addition to the chip manufacturing plants. Then I thought: do they just dig rare earth material out of the ground and send it straight to the chip plant? It would have to be refined at some level, right? Are there separate refineries or are they done at the mining end (or the chip end?) Regardless, from what I understand, it is not just the chip making infrastructure being largely controlled by China- it is the entire production loop from mining to chips. Smart move there, fearless leaders! Posted by: Aetius451AD at January 22, 2022 04:23 AM (dNqv+) 11

Posted by: Aetius451AD China isn't that significant in chip production, not unless you count Taiwan. They do make mobile CPUs, DRAM, and some flash memory, but no leading-edge stuff. All the advanced tools for making leading-edge chips actually come from the Netherlands, and China is banned from importing them. Posted by: Pixy Misa at January 22, 2022 04:33 AM (MqQvv) 15

"It's rarely the carburetor".
Yeah the old saw back in the day was 90 percent of carburetor problems are ignition related. Everybody always wants to dink around with that first. Or the ignition timing, that never changes, unless you change it. Oops. But anything that has sat around with alky gasoline and started to corrode is suspect. Water and corrosion really does a number on certain alloys in castings. Carburetors and the kits are no longer inexpensive, they've gotten pretty stupid money in some cases.

Reposting from 1/16 for your Q&A:
1) I'd been thinking of trying to acquire a new desktop after the new year to replace my aging i7-950 / currently GTX 970 build. (Not liking change, I like to buy sweet-spot high-end and then ride it for a very long time with occasional upgrades.) Originally I was thinking of trying for an AMD 5950x / RTX 3080 system. But the AMD 7950x announcement and rumors of RTX 4000 later this year have me wondering if I should wait. Especially with the new mobo chipset with updated PCI and RAM support, and the sweet IPC bump on the CPU arch. Thoughts? (1/22 addition: I write rendering code for a living. MOAR FLOPS!! NOM NOM NOM!) 2) You keep mentioning and linking this Hololive and related stuff. I'm out of the loop. What is that, and what's the background on it?

There is an on-going national debate over the efficacy of supervised drug consumption sites, which are prohibited by state and federal laws, and a continuing local debate over whether and where to open one in San Francisco. Mayor Breed and members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors have advocated a supervised drug consumption site, and purchased two properties in the Tenderloin to serve people suffering from addiction. But the city never approved the creation of a supervised consumption site
It is illegal by federal, state, and city law but... let's spend taxpayer money to buy two sites and open it anyway. Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy at January 22, 2022 05:52 AM (F4b8f) 43
Skip - A couple days ago the wife and I were hiking near Lock 60. The canal was pretty much frozen safe but there was a strange break in the ice not far from where some kids had an ice hockey goal set up. They had put some branches down on the ice as a warning to stay away from it. My wife follows local news on FB and it turns out the local fire company practices ice rescues there and they had been there the day before. I'd hate to be the guy who had to go in the water.

It seems to me that the blog is now locking down viewing of *very recent* posts, i.e., I tried to look at one of your tech threads at 0850 one morning (while the JJSMR was still active) and got the "Access Comments" note. This may be due to troll action trying to screw AoS up by posting bad stuff in old threads, so this is perhaps understandable policy.
But it would seem that there is a seemingly reasonable software solution, i.e., once the link specific transition to "Access Comments" is enabled if you then modified each post-specific "Access Comments" request to provide a direct url to the valid archive with that specific post number, it would make the blog much more user friendly (for me at least)! And yes, I know there is a way for me to do a bunch of cut and paste while chanting in Python to access old threads, but it seems like a more desirable alternative would be to have some embedded code for efficient archive site access. I think this would be very useful and helpful for many blog readers.

Wingnutt, I'm sure PM will answer your questions well, but I'll offer you my $0.02 worth, given my decades of experience with Linux.
Every time I buy a new laptop or notebook, my first action is to nuke Windows and install Ubuntu Linux. There may well be distros out there that are better tailored to your situation, but I've gotten very good results with Ubuntu. The web site has detailed directions on how to download a distribution, and install it. As for dual boot, that depends on whether you want to continue to run software that requires Windows. These principally are games, though there are business apps as well that require Windows. There are Linux versions of some popular Windows apps, e.g., LibreOffice, which can work with Office files (at least, with those files that do not use Office's more esoteric features). Also, I've found that the Linux version of the Windows remote desktop works well, so if you want to run Windows software on a remote Windows box, you can do so directly from your Linux desktop. As I said, my $0.02 worth. YMMV. Posted by: Nemo at January 22, 2022 11:48 AM (S6ArX) 65

Gourmand: Your external HD's should work just fine with Monterrey unless they are really old and formatted as HFS, not HFS+. Apple recently dropped support for that, but since HFS was obsoleted in System 8.1 back in the mid 90s....
They should work just plug and play. Unless WD is requiring a kext system extension to access their HD, which would be 1) unnecessary and 2) really, really stupid. But if they won't work, they won't work. Probably time to get new ones anyway if they are ten years old. So: workaround is pretty simple: just network the two macs--old and new, and copy the files over to the new drive. Set aside a weekend to do it since transferring files can take a while. Also: if the HD's are that old, are they only USB or do they have a Firewire port? Apple has a USB-C / Thunderbolt to Firewire cable. If they don't run on USB they very well might work on the firewire port as that's a totally different chipset which means different drivers. I have an Iomega HD about that old that has Firewire 400, 800, and USB connections. Be worth checking into! Posted by: Rafal Gan Ganowicz at January 22, 2022 12:36 PM (DN0pc) 67
Now for my question: What is a great external SSD for a boot drive? Thunderbolt 3 is available, and from what I hear if you get a Thunderbolt SSD your speeds are about double of what a USB-C drive can offer.
I basically want to dual boot my Mac Mini and keep an install of Mojave around to use 32bit apps, but also run Monterrey and not be obsolete (Mojave doesn't have pre-built binaries in Homebrew anymore so I have to compile every single package update.... pain). So I'd like to toss one OS on the external. But I think a good OS boot SSD is different than a good SSD meant for doing video work and the like. Any suggestions?

As I said, my $0.02 worth. YMMV. Posted by: Nemo at January 22, 2022 11:48 AM The big problem I had with dual-booting is that whichever one I mostly didn't run never got updated so whenever I wound up running the lesser used one, I always had to spend a bunch of time doing updates on it. For me, I think it's better to run two different computers and set up automatic updates. I use remote access to run programs on the one I'm not sitting at.

Do you have any idea when Apple is going to release a 27 inch iMac with the A series chip? The 27 is still being offered with an Intel chipset, which means immediate obsolescence when they finally release the A chip version.
Posted by: Fox2! at January 22, 2022 01:35 PM (qyH+l) 73
Apple releases about twice a year for computers, Fox2.
They have a spring event, usually iPads and computers, then WWDC where they may or may not update stuff, then the iPhone event in September, and then in October/November they fit in the other fall Computer update. This year is when they are supposed to finish transitioning over to their M-series chips. The "Big boys" in the lineup are the desktops, the beefy ones, and they are the last to transition. So the 27inch iMac, the Mac Pro, and the "pro" Mac Mini are what is left on intel. I suspect the holdup is that all their current shipping M1 macs were sealed boxes, whether on Intel or now with the M1. But people expect expandability and upgradeability with the 27inch iMac and the Mac Pro, which takes work. My guess is that we'll see the pro Mac Mini this spring, and the 27 inch iMac either at WWDC in June or in the fall with the Mac Pro.
