Lots of remarks here on Linux GUI, but Windows installations of XP and 2000 all started in DOS with a blue background and yellow progress bar…

Probably since iPad gained a keyboard with mousepad?

Mullvad Will stop supporting openvpn protocols in January, which I need since Synology does not support WireGuard. I contacted both Mullvad and Synology support but neither wants to move so I did.

Yes, RISC-V largely forms the basis for china’s future tech “independence”. Most CPU’s are Chinese brands and SBC’s like SiFive are Chinese too.

“Act of God” is actually a legal term and not really a religious reference and more. It means a freak event that cannot really be anticipated or planned for.

The open secret of most Asian societies!

Does it do any of the Microsoft 365 features like versioning, collaboration / multi-editing and such? This has been a game changer for many corporate environments that used to rely on file servers and usb drives. I feel LibreOffice might be stuck in a previous decade of office software without this.

Stallman, ?, Linus 😉

I’ve never seen the appeal. A simple smb share and Kodi work perfectly fine no?

The Zune was at-best an adequate copy of the iPod lacking a click wheel and having an awkward user interface.

This is doing so much harm to the climate cause it’s crazy

Well there are BSD components in there, but much of the kernel comes from Mach.

This was a transitional stage, HarmonyOS Next is running a fully different kernel and runtime

They burned through their Soviet stockpiles of artillery and tanks in 3 years fighting Ukraine, what makes anyone think they could fight NATO?

Yes! And on top of it, embedded YouTube is also starting to block access

Yes they were afraid of reciprocal tariffs from china, but also many Tesla’s sold in Europe are actually made in Shanghai, the Berlin factory only makes high end model Y’s.

It’s like an arms race, would be good if no-one did it, would be bad if China got there first.

Thanks comerade, here’s 50 cent.

This comment is suspicious to me. It’s been companies like Apple that have pioneered using Chinese labor to increase their profits. Moving jobs to the USA won’t help make them any richer. It makes economic sense but not strategic sense
