NVIDIA Interested in Acquiring Arm from SoftBank
The biggest tech news story from last week was Japan's SoftBank contemplating the sale of Arm, one of the hottest pieces of tech IP out there. Turns out, this has piqued NVIDIA's interest. The graphics and scalar compute giant recently surpassed Intel in market capitalization, and has the resources to pull off what could end up being the biggest tech acquisition in history. When it was acquired by SoftBank, Arm Holdings valued at $32 billion, and it's only conceivable that the firm's current valuation is significantly higher for SoftBank to dangle it out in the market. NVIDIA is already an Arm licensee, and following its acquisition of Mellanox, has stated intent to go big in the datacenter industry.

I'm just going over a bit of a busy and rough times myself here, major PC maintenance, house cleanup and repair, reinstalling OS and moving all my games, and managing TBs of data on new HDDs, it's exhausting.
In general, we should be discussing what's in it for us, not what's in it for the companies, there's this phenomenon in the gaming/tech world of cheerleading for companies as if it's a football game and companies are like football clubs, sports being one of the biggest scams put on the humanity ever, it doesn't matter which club wins, the stadium/organizers always win and for the people it's a net loss, you're robbed from your time, money, sanity to cheer and waste energy on an irrelevant ball bouncing on an irrelevant grass while the conquerors take over your countries and empose their own laws.
