NVIDIA to Acquire Arm for $40 Billion, Creating World’s Premier Computing Company for the Age of AI

[Flake87]

It really isn't funny, and not for the triviality you mention.It's truly a shame to see a crown jewel of intellectual property, from a true British global leader, to be so easily plucked by a multinational.

Although the way things are heading "Global Britain" feels more like a global firesale.

It is funny because of the ignorance of a man who in his position ought to know better.
I have to say to you this though. Having worked in the UK electronics industry I watched it almost completely disappear under the horrible BLiar year. Names like Plessey Ferranti, Marconi, GEC, ICL, Inmos, Racal, all either ceased to be or became shadows of what they once were. The pound is now at a low level, partly because of the mishandling of the covid outbreak, and that makes UK companies cheap. It also means the wages bill is cheaper incomparison to that of the USA so the probability is that nVidia will keep things just as they are for the foreseeable future.

The jobs thing? They will at a later date be moved to America once people forget about it they will pull the rug out. Next up NHS! Even if they deny it!

Nailed it. Spot on. Look what Kraft did to Cadburys

The other elephant in the room, America under Trump will use this American ARM acquisition as a leverage on the rest of the world by introducing some BS Export Control regimes.
Look at Huawei vs America. Now think the same with Europe for major leverage. Kicker, using a British invention against the Brits on the negotiation table!

Proper tinfoil conspiracy highly probable sadly

Cadbury is junk also, I liked Dairy Milk and the recipe seems to be changed it tastes foul. I looked online and apparantly no the changed bars are clearly marked but OG dairymilk i bought multipack after multipack and kept getting foul tasting bars. Almost like a raisins taste i dont know but thats it dead to me.


Who did that? Big daddy in America thats who. I rewlly think and i say this as a patriot GB will in 100yrs maybe be in the toilet and no longer a real power. I expect us to be like Greece just another average joe. And it has nothing to do with the in out of the EU really.


It is all about greed and mis management and two partys who are not really that patriotic and thats the damm issue. Ones allied to socialism and the EU and the others allied to American capitalism and neither will benefit us now. I actually dont think you can stop the rot now either and theres too much to list that was sold. If you were to take it all back, Everything we bloody incented and made we would be like Japan but we sold it all.


And also, We live in a world where the further time goes on, The less new products you see and it becomes where the old brands and big names tend to always remain. Like Coke, Coke will still be in the OG formula and drank 100yrs from now so why would you ever sell it? You would be an idiot.

In unrelated news every smartphone manufacturer in the world announces they will shift away from using ARM devices.

This had crossed my mind as well when I read the article.

What do you think Trump is going to do? Put a technology embargo on the UK?

He can't tell individual US companies not to trade with UK companies (or isn't supposed to). It's either embargo/sanctions and block us from any/all technology trade, or we're permitted to trade and individual US companies can do as they please.

Who did that? I'm afraid that was another one of BLiar who trusted Mondelez to keep their word and failed utterly to secure any form of guarantee or sanction if the promises are broken. Alas both parties are now the same as each other totally far left wedded to Socialism, and all of them in the capacious pockets of their Saudi masters.

Yup one of me and Ian Paisleys most hated men! I had to chuckle when Tony, John Major, Theresa May all came out recently against Boris. It was like a whos who of all the failures and problems Britain has had. I will add Thatcher also for her Britain in Europe campaign.


Theres literally been no one, And i mean no one thats been in charge that is a true patriot. They all have globalist masters in USA, EU or China. Id say you need to look at another group but i dont think UKIP could run a country either. I thini thats the problem it takes one of these elite people to have the qualifications and skills but it takes the heart of a working class person to do whats right for Britain.


I say the PM, Should run the country based on what a group of working class people tell him to do. And no i do not mean vote, Thats the problem you vote and give them a mandate for a few years where they sell you out. No you need a council who basically the PM has to run to everytime and put forward his proposals and it should be made up of actual Patriots with a very strict vetting process to weed out those loyal to the EU, USA and cough even Israel like the Millibands. Thats another shill tool who triggered me recently as well the guy has zero British DNA in him and he was lecturing a guy who has Turkish DNA about Britain bring controlled by a foreign power.


Thats how insane it is...

You have my sympathetic ear, but you don't have it quite right. The amount of money being pumped into the West by Middle East oil rich states beggars belief in the numbers. Qatar Kuwait Abu Dhabi Saudi Arabia are all doing it. Saudi is the second biggest funder of UK universities after the British government - same in the USA and that money comes with strings attached. Where did all BLiars money come from? How much did they deposit into the Clinton foundation, why did the Bush family need a family member to be a 'consultant' to Saudi?. The King of Spain currently in exile because took a 'gift' of $100 million from Saudi and won't say what it was for, the Prime Minister of Belgium forced to resign over similar issues, and ex President Sarkozy on trial for taking money out of Middle Eastern Arab countries. How strange no one in British public life has ever been thought of as taking any of this money despite several MPs being 'consultants' on £40K pa retainers. There are accusations that Boris Johnson took money over the Iran nuclear deal, and there are smoking guns all over the place, but no one will ever be investigated because they are all waiting their turn to get their own greedy snouts in the trough. But then that's what happens when you don't pay politicians properly, with the UK Prime Minister paid less than the Prime Minister of Iceland for goodness sake !

Good example mate. And Saudi Arabia is not our friend we are idealogically opposed so when they offer money suspicions arise. All the politicians are corrupt even in NI Paisley was taking free Holidays paid by Sri Lanka. And what about George Osbourne who was in charge of finance and after he left the bankers attended his speech which was 1k a ticket for 80 guests for a 20minute speech so he was given an 80k bribe.


I watch a lot of educational material and the jewel i once heard about us is that the Russians gave up trying to bribe and turn poorer working class Brits and Americans, You know the ones who are apparantly nasty racists! So eventually they gave up. But he said the higher echelons of society including politicians, And intellectuals were quite easy to turn and manipulate.


And who today runs the show and has most say? Those very people. Im sorry if people are offended but half our society is not loyal to the UK. If i had to put a number on it i honestly think about 35% to 45% of our population are disloyal and potentially treacherous. As Cato said a state can always fight a foreign enemy but he can never fight the internal one.


Or something like that!

Didn't mean embargo wise. Was more thinking trade tariffs. (Huawei bad example on my part - Steel and aluminium better example)
