Pretty cool, but no mention of range distance or power use.

For context, Samsung offered the workers a one-time $340K bonus. Workers refused, since their competitor SK-Hynix has annual employee profit-sharing. SK employees are getting $477K bonuses this year, and $900K next year. The 18 day strike will cost Samsung around $250K loss per employee. This likely won’t be the last strike.

The disputes are over profits from HBM memory used in AI servers. Expect memory prices to keep going up.

In my old consulting days, a lot of work showed up when companies cut corners, laid people off they should not have, and generally made bad management decisions.

They would then show up, hat in hand, asking if things could be quickly patched and fixed.

99% of the time, the answer was that it needed to be rewritten. Often they would be forced to bring back some of the former employees since they had domain expertise, at multiple what they were paid before.

Guessing the same will happen here.
