I might be mistaken, but I thought it was in every non pentium/celeron/atom chip after 2010 and every chip after 2015 with some extensions.

My desktop and laptop have them and they're mid-high end but not upper high end.

Scala is largely a set of iterative improvements with a syntax that's designed to handle data workflows well. It's not a big deal, it's not that exciting, it doesn't use all of the latest technologies, and that's why I think it has a bright future.
Which is where they'll remain.

NSA is not the primary threat here. More conventional legal mechanisms are. Home serving is just as vulnerable to the NSA.

CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, PBS

Also, I'm suspecting you're not a Spanish speaker, so I guess it's okay to discount a channel that over 10% of the US has utility for.

Cable TV is a relatively recent invention, has quickly declining subscription rates, and has always been billed as premium.

Broadcast TV is still free. Movies always cost a fair amount of money.

An internet connection with youtube is $30 which is WAY more variety than "back then".

Once upon a time, the woman stayed at home and didn't need a second car.

Televisions were prohibitively priced as to make one even a stretch.

And, travel was prohibitively priced so that only the ultra-rich could afford planes. When cars hit the scene en masse, it brought rise to car trips.

So, I guess you're saying people aren't living within their means? But they weren't necessarily then either... And boy, I sure miss all of the great stuff from the 50s.
