It's interesting how the README.md basically states in every other paragraph how you should not use this without authorization. The term (un)authorized and variations appear 18 tim…

And perhaps also introduce an upgrade blocker, as the keyboard app notifies the system of a situation that would be unsafe to upgrade to newer releases

That is not a Shahed drone, that is a Geran-2 drone. Which is similar from the outside but not the same. Also Iran doesn't have stock of R-60s I think.

It proves that the medical community did not learn from Semmelweis. Reports on Thalidomide side effects were ignored, suppressed or dismissed. Distributors sat on such reports for …

> Medicine figured this out the hard way after thalidomide. Medicine never figured this out. The medical community put Semmelweis in a lunatic asylum, because physicians' ego could…

There is a difference between productive business and basic infrastructure. Just look at China, they have state capitalism with free market economy according to the 60/70/80/90 rul…

Not all capitalism is equal though. The overlap between socialism and capitalism is state capitalism , and it turns out if you want affordable childcare, healthcare, utilities, pub…

It has a negative price precisely because at that given moment, nobody can use it for anything else.

The problem here is that the production of hydrocarbons, ammonia, etc. from electricity can only make back its high upfront investment when it runs basically 24/7. This is a challe…

In China the participatory model works and citizens overwhelmingly approve of the outcomes (when it comes to domestic policy). In US, which is a liberal democracy, you have outcome…

A 1 party system can still be democratic in a way. Just participation in the policymaking works differently. In China this is feedback from the public and local committees. Also th…

Far more Chinese think that their country is a democracy and the government serves the people than in the US. Whether this is objectively true is another question, but from their p…

I put the blame squarely on Microsoft, how they released a turd with WP7 (a shiny one with responsive UI, but nonetheless a turd). About phone OS upgrades, remember the HTC HD2 whi…

Windows Vista SP2 was basically identical to Windows 7 RTM, with mostly cosmetic differences. What changed is that by Windows 7 launch, PC specs had caught up with system requireme…

It turns out rather ok without actual infinity, by limiting oneself to potential infinity. Think a Turing Machine where every time it reaches the end of its tape, an operator ("tap…

UEFI specification is also over 2300 pages long now. For comparison, Open Firmware (IEEE 1275) was 268 pages.

Sony supports pairing Bluetooth devices via USB since PS3 and Apple supports this since wireless peripherals with Lightning port. However the protocols to do that are all proprieta…

Manufacturing labor cost in China has surpassed parts of Eastern Europe. I agree that infrastructure, supply chains, political stability, and education are the primary drivers for …

> I think the concern here is more with the implementations (coming out of China) than the instruction set itself. Yes that is the pretense, but what they actually want to block is…

Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. Like when Sun Microsystems submitted ODF for standardization to ISO, it was so successful that Microsoft had to do it too for OOXML. In fa…

> It's their citizens who sacrifice to make solar power cheap enough. No. Manufacturing labor cost in China is not cheap. In fact since 2012 or so, it is more expensive than in mos…

Or Sen. Tom Cotton asking Tiktok CEO Shou Zi Chew whether he is member of the CCP, being told that he is a Singaporean citizen, and then asking again .

Win10 IoT LTSC does not cover all use cases though. When it comes to gaming, for example Windows Mixed Reality is not included and cannot be installed afterwards (but then again, M…
