Daily Tech News 19 September 2025

Top Story

Intel and Nvidia announced that they are working together on Intel CPUs with embedded (ish) Nvidia graphics. (Tom's Hardware)

And also on custom Intel CPUs to work with Nvidia products in the datacenter.

And also that Nvidia is investing $5 billion in Intel.

Intel shares jumped to $30.50 on the news, meaning that the federal government made a 50% profit on its stake in the space of a week - on money that was originally allocated as a direct grant to Intel.

Tech News

Valve is dropping support for 32-bit operating systems in Steam. (Tom's Hardware)

Steam will still download and launch 32-bit games just fine, but you will need to run it on 64-bit hardware.
The Amiga meanwhile is still 32-bit, so I guess you can't run Steam. (Hot Hardware)

The latest model Apollo A6000, with an FPGA-driven "68080" CPU and 2GB of RAM, is now on sale oh it's sold out.

The next batch will be on sale on October 17, costing around $1100.

12 Harry Nilsson's other big hit was "Without You". Since most of us never look up the songwriting credits you might be surprised to find out it was composed by Pete Ham and Tom Evans. Who dat you say?

Which was composed by Sir Paul McCartney. He wouldn't let the band change a note. The band didn't argue because Paul McCartney.

Without You
Bad Finger
https://youtu.be/R_b9_RnorqA

The story goes Harry Nilsson was at LA party and was spinning records for fun. It was there he came across the song and the rest is history. Bad Finger was a supremely talented band but due to getting utterly crushed financially by their utterly corrupt manager. They were literally broke all the time. The kind of broke where making rent was a problem.

20 Apparently the witches at the View are eating themselves behind the scenes over Kimmel getting canned. Something about they are worried about canceled for saying wildly untrue things all the time. The staff is so worried some of them have cleaned out their offices.

It is generally considered a terrible thing to wish for somebody to have disaster come down on them. My question is this: does this situation qualify for an exception including gloating and hoping they all choke on chicken wing bones after the get nuked off the TV forever?

Trump has unique wiring. We have him for another 3 years; I am inclined that he should be allowed to run amok - he might figure out how to pay off the national debt. If not, I am still thinking things would be awesome when he heads to Mar-a-Lago.

55 The "Talk Like a Pirate Day" thing: I'm sure you all know that the "Arrrr, matey" style was created by British actor Robert Newton as Long John Silver in the 1950 Disney film of Treasure Island. Newton used the speech of his native Cornwall to create the stereotype of "pirate speech." Newton has become the "patron saint" of the annual International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

In 1954, Newton reprised his role of Long John Silver in a non-Disney sequel also directed by Haskin, Long John Silver, and went on to play Silver again in a television series, The Adventures of Long John Silver (made 1954–55) (info adapted from Wiki).

So now you know.

67 For the PC market, the Intel x86 RTX SoC chips will come with an x86 CPU chiplet tightly connected with an Nvidia RTX GPU chiplet via the NVLink interface. This type of processor will have both CPU and GPU units merged into one compact chip package that externally looks much like a standard CPU, rivaling AMD’s competing APU products.

Sounds like the end for Arc graphics, at least in APUs.

I suppose Intel could still keep making dedicated Arc graphics/AI cards, but the same team was working on embedded GPUs.

It would suck if Intel closed Arc down.
They were just starting to produce some decent cards at lower prices.

90 Kimmel didn’t have to get fired.

All he had to do is say; “I was wrong, I’m sorry, forgive me for my partisan lies”.

He chose to be stubbornly adamant that he was right and everybody else is wrong, like most leftists when they get nailed down on something.

So now he can go compete on YouTube or Spotify and see how that works out for him.

So on the rare occasion there is a late night monologue or SNL skit that is, actually, you know, funny, a link to it begins to make the rounds on the Internet the next day.

And links to those clips will even make it to a smart military blog like this, either in a thread's original content or embedded in a comment posted by one of our astute hordemates.

I went in blind watching that movie for the first time on TCM or wherever I saw it.

It starts out weird enough and then the movie theater scene happens and I’m like; “this came out what year?”… “1969?, no wonder they wanted to give it an X rating.”

I watched the rest of it but can barely remember anything, some of the party scene and Al Pacino as Ratzo with “I’m walking here!”.

I’ve never watched it again.

The thing that always surprises me about SNL is that the audience is worse than actors, which ain't easy. Go watch any host do a single joke that isn't 100% woke orthodoxy and the studio audience won't have it.
