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.

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.

I don’t know, society might be better off with you doing science!

Broad support from the major platforms (Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung).

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

I don’t agree, they’re mostly fine (Luckin better than Cotti), but Starbucks flavor is stronger and more “dark roast”. Also, their Shanghai coffee roasters facility is in a league of its own!

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.

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

Korea will have to come up with solutions as the birth rate has been low for a long time

Strange there’s no mention of crohns or colitis in this article. Both are monitored through calprotectin and you would expect a strong correlation between IBD and Alzheimer’s in this case

Better presence sensors exist, and are only used in such critical situations. These are based on radar and sense the chest movements of people.

The UV there is mostly to keep the inverter coils free of mould. Air typically flows too fast to be meaningfully disinfected.

The browser extension Consent-o-matic does this and was developed with money from the European Commission.

So what you’re saying is, 2024 will be the year of Linux on the desktop?
