Yeah, sorry guys, that "three percent" is all just me. I'm testing my new distributed web indexing algorithm to replace google. It runs on compromised IoT devices.

Not Intel.
Better make that an investment in Arm Holdings or MIPS Technologies. Just the Raspberry Pi alone sold 10 million units [walesonline.co.uk] as of last year. It, many SBCs, and all your billions of smartphones and tablets are Arm-based. MIPS is more in appliances but is seeing gains in Russia and China. Intel is still around, but dependent on M$ and many want both to go away. Certainly if we get rid of M$ any time soon, it will take Intel with it.
Money is not free speech. Elections should not be auctions.
