Glad to be quoted in this excellent @Reuters article by @chernandburn & @StephenNellis on @Arm's plight to change its biz model... reut.rs/4g4FCbe "It was news to me that $Arm is even thinking about (making its own chip)," said @TantraAnalyst founder Prakash Sangam, who attended the trial. "It should send a chill down the spine of their customers." As often happens, public trials expose lots of confidential information about companies. The details in the article came from its trial against @Qualcomm. @ReutersBiz #qcomtrial

Wow... major legal setback for @Apple ... go.tantraanalyst.com/TLybCM $5.7 billion in compensation is huge... even for $AAPL @Bloomberg @mwshapiro

At this table during the US State dinner for the Chinese Premier, among 8 Americans, at least 4 are immigrants: @MELANIATRUMP - Slovenia / Yugoslavia @elonmusk - South Africa @LisaSu - Taiwan @JensenHuang - Taiwan A picture is worth a thousand words!!!

What struck me about this photo is that Trump and Xi invited to their dinner table: an immigrant from South Africa, two Taiwanese immigrants that came to the US as children, and a gay kid from Alabama, all of whom moved to Silicon Valley to make a dent in the universe.

Oh wow... looks like go.tantraanalyst.com/ToDGOh Would love to understand the rates and duration they agreed to... $qcom $aapl @Qualcomm @Apple

I like this -- we could have longer battery Linux laptops!

That's the wrap on the 2nd day of #SnapdragonSummit keynotes. As usual, here are my key takeaways: ➡️Mostly a partner show-and-tell day, across markets other than mobile ➡️Interesting discussion between @cristianoamon & @liquidai CEO @ramin_m_h regarding on-device #AImodels, and it seems the holy grail is similar to #AGI ➡️Informative presentation from ex #Modular CEO on how they abstract the underlying hardware variability for #AI stack ➡️@Ziad_asghar did an impressive showcase of partnerships, products, and successes in the #wearables, #hearables, and smart glasses /#XR markets ➡️Highlights of #compute progress, new #X3Plus @surface laptops, #GoogleBook traction etc. - most interesting was official support for #Linux on @Snapdragon ➡️@donnymac & @s_andrews conclud with the announcement of an exclusive, limited-edition, @ManUtd branded @surface laptop powered by #Snapdragon @TantraAnalyst

Had an "interview" for a blockchain project last week. Camera was on, we're chatting, and the guy tells me to clone a GitHub repo and run it locally before we go further into the technical round. I said sure, but first can you do me a favor hold up 3 fingers in front of your face for me real quick. He froze. Didn't move. Just sat there for a few seconds before the call cut off and he blocked me. That's when I knew. A real interviewer doesn't glitch out over a random ask like that. A deepfake/AI overlay does. These "run this repo" scams are getting scary common in crypto and dev hiring right now. The setup is always the same: - flattering DM - real-sounding project - rushed timeline - a "quick step" before the call that's really just remote access or a credential stealer in disguise. If someone wants you to run code or install something before you've even had a real conversation, that's the whole scam. Trust the instinct. Stay safe out there.
