Proton is based on Wine and is a major factor behind the success of Steamdeck and SteamOS. Also Sailfish OS Android emulation is quite good, good or even the best one I used on the Android emulation front.

Aren't you basically describing a chicken and egg problem?

I suggest reading a bit about the brotherly relationship between Finland and Russia- it has not been exactly a Winter Wonderland. Not to mention the most bloody war on European soil in a century - started by Russia.

I have been using Xperia 10 III as my main phone for years with Sailfish OS just fine. Looks like they also support up to Xperia 10 V & there is the Jolla C2 community device: https://docs.sailfishos.org/Support/Sup

Might be enough for microcontrollers and overall simple control applications?

Is it perhaps called after the movie Screemers ? Some of the combat robots had circular saws, but they used to to cut through people instead of locks.

For modern directional drilling they use what is called a "mud motor": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_motor You basically use the drilling mud that circulates through the hole anyway (providing counter pre

Sure, but might as well start with the basics and iteratively go from there. :)

Sure, but compare density of a s360 mainframe and the Apollo Guidance Computer - they pumped a lot of money into integrated circuits just as they weee becoming viable to hit their size, mass and power targets. Sure, this would likely have h

Thez certainly have some Falcon 9 clones in full scale testing - would not he surprised if they have it working in a year or two, there is just too much money on the table.

Mars has actually quite different environment to the Moon if you wan't to do surface testing: no atmosphere, different gravity, abrasive dust, different day and year length, different solar constant, etc. For spaxe infrastructure howev

There a satellite that does that: https://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/ Well, when US is not running out of money.

You are mixing up human space flight and going to the ISS. Sure, for quite a while ISS depended on Russia for crew access, but China has been capable of human spaceflight since 1999, running many missions since & their own space station

It really was a race - you can find the original space fligh plans before the race started and they look much more sane and sustainable. Incremental progress via building up infrastructure, including space station in Earth and Moon orbit, p

I don't think there were any visible burn throughs this way around at the flaps.

Yeah, I'm talking of mediaval or early modern water wheel powered mills for milling flour, not hydropower dams. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermill

Shuttle had the unfortunate combination of fragile indivudally unique (!) tiles glue to lightweight aluminum structure that would fail if heated to 175 C (!!) [0], even in a small area. In comparison Starship is covered by mostly identical

For comparison other organizations don't have an issue with leaving 20 ton rocket stages in orbit, leading to uncontrolled reenetry. :) https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a32451633/china-long-... That&#x2

Yeah, the atmosphere complicates things a bit during launch but much bigger issue is gravity - Earth having the highest gravity in the Solar System among solid surface bodies. For landing hovever it makes things signifficantly easier! You

I think it is just cheaper as long as you have cheap/free water you can evaporate. Otherwise you would have to have to run a closed loop cooling system using regular AC tech (eg. some low boiling point liquid at low pressure, compresso

Yeah, even old water mills - while the weirs and water supply channels might still stand, the water wheels are long gone, with a few exception not worth replacing by a modern small water turbine generating electricity. It is simply not econ

Chinese companies seem to be in process of cloning Falcon 9 and even Starlink (Thousand Sails and other constellations). In the west the Rocketlab Neutron partial RLV and planned Stokes Space full RLV stand out. And maybe in a few decades e

Mashiro (and others) are super cute and the whole project is very interesting, seeing how they improve them incrementally over time. :)

You could use some sort of beamed power/powersat eventually at those distances (using a sending station from a place with a lot of solar power, like Mercury) but that's signifficant infrastructure and ways of right now.

The blobs are there to assure you need to throw away your perfectly fine phone every 3 years due to lack of software updates. If it all was open source, the community could quite easily provide updates - you can run a modern Linux distro on

Mobile software is unfortunately not really a lego that can always be combined at will. In your examples you compare Android rebuilds with real Linux distros. The projects also have quite different goals (providing full manufacturer ROM rep

I also use Sailfish OS - its not perfect, but useable. :) And the way Android and iOS goes to shit, its current state might already be better than them soon. ;-) (Sailfish OS is improving over time, if a bit slowly. :) )
