Patriotism + unlimited funding = innovation

I feel that's not actually replaced by ai rather his previous works have been templated and a script is replacing names and stuff automatically. The solution is called "ai" because in this way the developer can price it higher

This said, for a client point of view, switching from "everything is custom" (=$$$) to "everything is from a cookie cutter" is not good. Long term viability of that marketing company is compromised, IMHO. Why a client should pay $$$ if all it gets is something that could come with $5 from Fiverr or even with a free Canva trial?

A graphic designer is still indispensable, especially if they were "so busy that could barely take a few days off"

Also the decision of Microsoft of discontinuing windows on hardware produced before 2018 is an incentive to transition to Linux in developing countries (although I saw massive use of windows 7 even today...)

The year of desktop Linux?

Probably because there aren't any, they can't specifically say "iOS".

I'm not aware of any other operating system (except the ones in game consoles or dedicated hw) that doesn't allow the user to install other software not approved by the manufacturer

As usual doing malicious compliance, like when they pretended that iOS and iPadOS were two completely separate operating systems and so iPadOS shouldn't need to support third party app stores as EU said "iOS"

No, it's this, they mostly want x86 for government use https://www.tomshardware.com/news/loongson-launches-3a6000-cpu-matches-14600k-ipc

An article that lists the CPU: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/china-bans-intel-and-amd-cpus-for-government-offices-and-servers-plans-to-switch-to-domestic-made-alternatives

That Huawei CPU is mostly marketing as doing 5nm chips with duv machines is possible but yields much less because it needs more steps. It's also the same design of 4 years ago

And then the American government helps to speed up the process by banning Intel to selling CPUs to Huawei and affiliates

The reason China is forcing themselves to use shitty, slow, and inefficient processors is because they're indirectly injecting billions in the industry in this way, because no consumer would ever buy a zhaoxin CPU, which is slower than a celeron while more expensive than a core i7.

So, government using shitty processors = after a decade those shitty processors should improve to parity.

Now, if also consumers are forced to use the shitty processors, then the industry has even more incentive to improve

Only if you live in a country like russia, china, iran, north korea or south arabia

On my 4k 32" usually I run 4 programs at the same time, one at each corner. It's like having 4 1080p screens (I keep scaling at 100%)

Wait? My Lenovo laptop did exactly this. It first encrypted the SSD without telling me, then it updated the bios via windows update (or via Lenovo assistant, but still it was unattended)

Luckily I was using a Microsoft account (usually I don't because fuck that) so the keys were automatically backupped

Because I assume that iOS devices become e-waste a few years after discontinuation, unless you write custom software on some outdated xcode+MacOS combo
