    I've been in this endeavor with Surface Book 2. While the results where good, the CPU usage for software DSP killed the entire effort. Microsoft is using intel's DSP accelerator to…

    First, you can just google for "logistics is a shady business" If you want to be more specific, you can google for "carrier haulage tax evasion" - this will be just the tip of the …
