I’ve been following this story for 5 years. There’s lots of hopey articles like this over that time. SMEE was supposed to release a 28-nm DUV machine last year in 2023, then 2024 summer, then 2024 December. To date no release. Most of these innovations by thr Chinese are academic discoveries that will take years further to productionize. Generally if the Chinese say they will do something new-technology-wise next year, it will happen 2-5 years after when they say it will.

The challenge more is that even if they can produce the chips, the machines they are using they can’t get parts for. EUV is still out of reach. Probably another 5-8 years.

Of the main chinese miniPC manufacturers, BeeLink has the best customer service and highest quality control units. There’s a lot of nee entrants in this space so there could be better than BeeLink, but I’ve been shopping for a minipc for awhile and beelink is better than minisforum, gmktec, trigkey, etc. From what I’ve been reading.

Badum tss

I am a time traveller and I was trying to throw you off my trail but I seem to have failed.

Trump counterbalance keeping it in check but my gut is saying once tariffs come in February there’s going to be a market correction. Pure speculation on my part.

You’re describing the internet though. If two people meet in a public space and conspire to commit a crime, the public space isn’t fined. In the same way that if two people on Lemmy meet and then conspire to commit a crime, the space shouldn’t be fined. If OTOH the platform owner was made aware and didn’t take action, then yes that would be aiding a crime.

Zionists really captured that platform.

It’s because the USA floods countries with cheap goods all the time and then cries foul when someone else does it. It’s pure hypocrisy.

At some point decades from now maybe? I still think nuclear and fusion research are important for human civilization, I just think it’s stupid to waste money on building power plants using nuclear technology in its current state.

Ammonia believe it or not.

The reason we don’t build nuclear power plants anymore (including small modular), is because they’re insanely expensive, produce only a small amount of power compared to you can produce with renewables, and always come with cost overruns. Nuclear power is the techsploitation of of tbe 60’s and 70’s. Most governments look at the economics now and realize they can do solar plus storage for a fraction of the immediate and long term cost.

Why would that be progress?

Wait what has COD been doing for the last decade? Don’t they have state dept and US military advisors advising on every game for message control?

Fair points. Though how could you say for sure that WhatsApp doesn’t have a backdoor in place?

USA, Germany, Russia, Iran, China, Brazil, and other have tried to or have banned Telegram at various points of time in the past decade because of their concern they can’t access Telegram data. You can’t say the same for WhatsApp. That suggests WhatsApp isn’t as secure as they say.

I would suggest using something easier like Linux Mint next time you give Linux a try.

Maybe I’m unlucky

The door close button does nothing in Canada but in the middle east it actually works immediately. I was shocked when I tried in the middle east I used to just do it for fun in Canada.
