I don't think that is the case. The short answer is, here's a link to a more detailed version of the article above - their recent change is calling it a "war", which allows them to trigger Montreux:
"Yet Cavusoglu (Turkey Foreign Minister) reiterated that Turkey cannot block all Russian warships accessing the Black Sea due to a clause in the pact exempting those returning to their registered base."
The long answer is, if you have been following European and Turkish politics in the last few years, you would see that Turkey is getting closer and closer to Russia (the F-35 debacle, getting S400 missile batteries, Turkstream etc). Turkey is also smart enough to play both sides. So, this move (to do nothing) is expected.
Can you please not change the title? The original title is "Turkey to implement international pact on access to shipping straits due to Ukraine war"
Turkey has NOT closed the Black sea; this article does not say that at all.
Turkey has stated continuously in last few days that it will follow the Montreux Convention, under which they cannot restrict vessels going back to their home base, including Russian ones.
Sorry, I totally disagree that is is "completely in the right", I use 3 other video apps, they all give exit prompts instead, here is an example:
Netflix could have done what Prime video does
Prime Video: "Do you want to exit the app? (Yes/No)", then done
Netflix: scroll all the way down the menu options: Home, Play something, New & Popular, TV Shows, Movies, My List, Get Help, Exit Netflix (click), 8 clicks in total before you can exit.
So it takes orders of magnitude more clicks, and more time out of my life, every time I try to exit the Netflix app. Considering that exiting an app is something I do all the time, it is not great
I agree with you that the Netflix UI is superb for browsing, however I have one major gripe - on Android TV they broke the back button.
I had to hardcode a kill app shortcut just for them.
For all other android tv apps that I have been using so far, the back button works normally, exiting the app at the topmost layer. However, repeated clicks of the back button in netflix UI just re-triggers the menu - part of their dark patterns to make it harder to quit the app...
Tenure or not, is he seriously going give his students random final grades even before the first day of class (as he put it, "predestination")? Surely the school won't allow him to do this
Because Fab space has been at a high premium for some time, many manufacturers are focusing on producing higher priced (and higher margin/higher profit) items, maybe that is why you see less availability of down market AMD products? Also, AMD was pretty much sold out across the board beginning of the year; there was basically no availability of 5000 series in most retailers, and limits on CPUs per customer when they do come in stock.
Once the semiconductor situation settles down and it all goes back to normal, you'll probably see more availability of AMD on the lower tiers - the situation is already getting better with most of the 5600 (and higher) series of cpus back in stock now.
The Japanese have several interesting drone projects, here's another one from Rakuten for drone delivery which has been in irregular short trials since 2016.
Just in time doesn't necessarily mean no buffer, the goal is to minimize excessive stockpiling and keep enough for continuous production, increasing stockpile when required.
Toyota, some might say THE pioneer of Just-in-time manufacturing, was one of the car manufacturers least impacted by the component shortage precisely because they started stockpiling very early on after they saw the upcoming issue.
Here's a quote from another Bloomberg article specifically on Toyota[1]:
"Toyota asks its Tier 1 suppliers to input detailed information about their most obscure parts and materials providers in a complex database that it maintains. Using this system to glean information about, say, a single headlight Toyota purchases for one of its cars, it can get information as granular as the names and locations of the companies that make the materials that go into surface treatments used on those headlights’ lenses and even the producers of the lubricants used on the rubber pieces in the assembly, Toyota spokeswoman Shiori Hashimoto says.
These lines of communication alerted the company early on that it needed to stockpile chips."
If you want to know the actual conditions, there is a recent article from a much better source
Bloomberg: The Last–And Only–Foreign Scientist in the Wuhan Lab Speaks Out
She is an Australian virologist, now working in Melbourne’s Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, previously scientific director of the biosafety lab at Singapore’s Duke-NUS Medical School in 2016.

They owned 13% of the company; now they own only 87 shares; they sold 9.3 million shares in 1 month.
So, during the Robinhood GME debacle, Fidelity could sidestep the issue, since they wanted to sell their own GME shares anyway, and also managed to look good in the process (no GME buying restrictions compared to Robinhood etc); win win for them
> You didn't see this sort of reaction in 2000, and that was far far closer.
Just a comment on this point, I see two huge differences:
1) Gore conceded. On 13-Dec 2000. Trump only just "conceded", and still called it rigged, stolen etc. It makes a big difference when the leader concedes.
2) Technology has totally change the landscape in the last 20 years. There are now plenty of spaces on the Internet, huge echo chambers, allowing people to share posts and fuel each others hatred, spread misinformation, organise and mobilise.
Yeah agreed; also, how often do people do benchmarks?
Me personally, I only bench around when the build is finished and not much after that; maybe bench again only if there's some significant hardware/software change (software change example being video driver that improves performance etc)
So, if passmark says "This graph counts the baselines submitted to us during these time period", then it probably mostly reflect new builds only. Which is still a significant data point, showing lots of AMD uptake (by enthusiasts), but not what the Techspot headline says/implies.
