It was considered to be cake by regulatory authorities in Ireland.

This is why I use Fedora for everything except gaming and MS Office.

Linux is much more commonly used in embedded systems than Windows for obvious reasons.

Intel is a near monopoly and it controls the physical hardware that runs the entire universe with the exception of mobile devices and embedded.

If you're going to break anyone up that's who I would go for first but because of the pipe dream of making computer chips in 'Murica these idiot politicians keep propping up Intel's Wall Street investors while its employees get fucked over.

At the very least the x86 duopoly has to end. It's not only legal but kept the way it is because of legal contracts. The courts need to declare them void because their enforcement leads to the violation of antitrust laws.

So they're breaking up Google but giving Intel more free money after it cut 15k jobs?

Not anymore. As of driver version 555 Nvidia works just as well as anything.

OS and embedded dev here. I use assembly all the time. I've even worked on firmware that was entirely in assembly of strict requirements that couldn't be met in C.

Also even machine code hides a lot about how the underlying machine works so if you really want to do computing from scratch you really do hate to invent the universe because there's abstractions all the way up the hardware stack just like there is in software.

This is the result of so called tribal knowledge in software development. It's even worse when the senior citizen who understands everything retires, goes senile, or dies.

The Social Dilemma

Ironic, I know.
