That's interesting, but obviously they meant 'in places where it has been banned a long time', there being countries where that's not the case doesn't stop it being an example of this, that terminology/marketing sticks around outliving a point it might've been making.
The EU (incl. UK at the time) banned it 2.4 decades ago.
Yes. It'd be a problem for running code directly from it - it'd be better to cache it to DRAM so that all reads would come from DRAM and only writes would make it to FE-RAM.
IIRC, it was a common trick with 286 and 386 PCs, because BIOS ROMs were 8-bit wide and shadowing the BIOS in RAM made it much faster.
In Germany the minimum time of notice for being fired scales up with your seniority (number of years employed in the company). However, many work contracts add a stipulation that the minimum time of notice from the law be applied to both parties equally, so quitting will also need an advance notice of the same length.
You'd need a bunch of those chips to make good use of a bunch of 6.0 lanes on the CPU, and at that point you're paying so much for the converters that I'm skeptical it would almost ever be worth it.
I expect consumer machines to keep doing some conversion and expansion in the chipset, but nowhere else. I expect servers to directly attach almost everything and drop down to smaller lane counts for large numbers of devices.
It's worth noting that when Kioxia first put out PCIe 5.0 EDSFF drives, they were marketing them as being optimized for 2 lanes at the higher speed.
This is the main reason why I just use the US ANSI layout in germany, together with KbdKaz on Windows for umlauts and a lot of other extra characters and accennts: https://www.omega-com.pl/kbdkaz.htm
For a while the pile of crap that is Windows 10 got very drunk about keyboard layouts (maybe in combination with connecting to a remote desktop to a computer with a different set of layouts). Being in Switzerland with Swiss German, French and Italian layouts, and having just German and English on the client computer, it would lie to me and claim the layout is English when it's German, etc, etc, and the control panel would even lose layouts...
A cross-platform alternative is to use the EurKey layout (https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/layout.html), allowing you to have the US keyboard layout by default, while using modifier keys for various diacritics common in European languages with Latin script.
I love how the "Show code" buttons in 98.css and XP.css are just plain labels, with no indication that they are clickable until you hover over them, as opposed to the easily visible buttons the CSS actually provides x)
Interestingly, the 7.css fixes this by showing them as expander links instead.
