The Video-CD had many advantages, you can record on regular CD-R and play on any dvd player. Also, the quality was crap!

Macs, when the macOS was still called MacOS X, stability, sensible UX, and much better software and hardware compared to Windows.

I don’t know, perhaps gaming will get rejected AI chips with a few cores broken. The chip design requirements are slightly different but not completely foreign

Probably Freemasons?

From Wikipedia: “

UpScrolled was launched in June 2025 by Recursive Methods Pty Ltd.[2][3] It was founded by Issam Hijazi, a Palestinian-Australian app developer who previously worked for IBM and Oracle.[3][4] UpScrolled is backed by the Tech for Palestine incubator.

So much for being impartial.

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.

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.

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!

Having said that. China’s economy is not doing well and consumers are looking to cut back on expenses. I guess Luckin is the “good enough” option?

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

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.

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
