Correspondence of two billionaires leaked to the Network. Bill Gates wanted to discuss charity with Elon Musk, but the conversation did not work out
It rarely happens when screenshots of the correspondence of two billionaires and, concurrently, very influential people appear on the Web. But today’s case is just one of those. The New York Times leaked the correspondence between Bill Gates and Elon Musk.
Gates’ reason for reaching out to Musk turned out to be quite noble – he wanted to discuss philanthropy on pressing climate change issues. Based on the screenshots, Musk didn’t mind the meeting at first, but then he asked Gates about his half-billion-dollar short positions in Tesla. And he admitted that he really did not close them. To which Musk replied:
I’m sorry, but I can’t take your climate change charity seriously when you have a huge short position against Tesla, the company doing the most to address climate change.
The conversation between the two billionaires, alas, did not take place. Interestingly, Elon Musk has already confirmed the authenticity of the correspondence and indicated that he did not make much of a secret out of it. But how it was obtained by journalists is another question.

Otherwise, there are no changes in the hardware platform: the laptop is endowed with 16 GB of LPDDR5-6400 RAM and a 512 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD. Moreover, there are two slots for SSD in the laptop.
Acer Legendary Edge is made in the body of magnesium alloy and aluminum, the thickness of the device is 12.95 mm, weight – 1.17 kg. Interestingly, the same mass is attributed to the base Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra – also 16-inch and also with an OLED screen, but with much more powerful components.

Why overpay for smartphones with 5G? On the example of the Samsung Galaxy A14, you can see that we are talking about a huge difference in performance.
The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G smartphone was introduced at the beginning of the month, but the company is preparing a more affordable version with 4G support. And today we have all the main characteristics of this model and images.
The design of the younger version will be the same, except that instead of brown it will be silver. Many characteristics will also not change, although there will still be differences.
The main thing, of course, is the platform. Instead of the latest Exynos 1330, MediaTek Helio G80 is used. Compared to the Exynos 850 in the Galaxy A13 4G, this is certainly a very significant improvement. For comparison, the Exynos 850 scores about 145,000 points in AnTuTu 9, while the Helio G80 scores 230,000 points. True, the same Exynos 1330 is gaining more than 410,000 points, so the difference between the A14 4G and 5G versions in performance is enormous.
The screen of the Galaxy A14 4G will retain the size of 6.6 inches, Full HD + resolution, but there will be no increased frame rate, like the A14 5G. The battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh, the main 50-megapixel camera, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of flash memory will also remain, but charging will be only 10-watt. But the smartphone will receive stereo speakers.
The novelty will be released at the end of March. In Eastern Europe, they will ask for 200 euros for it.
