If Russia wanted to invade Ukraine, it wouldn't matter. Ukraine isn't NATO. US was involved in Bosnia and Kuwait. If they pleased they would be involved in Ukraine. But US got the fascist mind virus. It WAS US policy to play the p

As a previous Arch user I don't understand what you mean by "best of both worlds"? The point of Arch is to be mutable to a great extent and shipping vanilla packages. For example, it is quite annoying to have a sane font setu

If your company demands/keeps buying the shittiest, cheapest plastic Dell laptops instead of XPSes or higher end Latitudes/Precisions, that's not Dell's fault. My company uses XPSes and Precisions. They work great.

Hetzner, OVH and Upcloud. All of them have object storage, managed Redis,Postgres and K8S. Most of the time the missing things are homegrown SaaS offerings of big 3 and identity services. You will not find equivalent IAM or BigQuery in indi

I don't know about individual parts but all of my home appliances are BSH and they are all made in Germany. Some of them actually has the factory location in the nameplate.

Germany has a strong preference with its local brands. It is still easier to find local repair shops that handle BSH and Miele machines than cheaper Asian brands. You do pay premium for the quality. It is worth it though. My parents' S

They did change a lot. Previously Microsoft actually cared about its main product lines. They did lots of anticompetitive things to get people onboarded. Being anticompetitive and making products that deeply bundled stuff was their evil bad

LG and BENQ has quite some smart ones. They have a custom OS called WebOS. Actually you can only get non-smart ones only if you buy commercial projectors. https://www.lg.com/us/projectors

Well it made sense for France for multiple reasons even in 70s. France didn't trust / like Anglophone dominance in the world. They brutally kept their colonies, sometimes to the bitter end. The mistrust to US/UK hegemony and

Only Germany did. They were quite anti-nuclear in the 80s. So they didn't upgrade the reactors. The closure was inevitable. US also supported this more neutral position btw and everybody mocked French for being the lone wolf.

Onion routing is the protocol. Tor is the network and the name of the reference implementation.

WSL supports a kernel-based DirectX to Mesa bridge. It is better than any other VM implementation. However the latest releases caused some problems with auto detection mechanism in Mesa. Sometimes the Linux kernel module also fails to load.

Umm you must be rather inexperienced in Windows and didn't do much search for that to happen. 1. WSL2 mounts Windows drives under /mnt/ . You can just cp things 2. WSL2 Distros are exposed as Network shares. WSL installs a vi

CAMM is adopted by the more expensive business class laptops. I think Thinkpad P1 / X1E adopted them first.

Vista wasn't that bad from purely OS side. On a VM it runs pretty stable. However, Microsoft made a huge change to how the OS and drivers worked. If you still use Windows, you are still benefitting from some of the changes. However HW

Anybody who experienced or knows how haphazardly the Microsoft consumer division forked and developed XP would prefer 2000 or 2003 over XP.

Windows 7 and Vista unified almost all of the control panel. Windows had pretty good design language then and the other Microsoft software used native frameworks that shared it. Moreover neither Vista nor 7 removed features or dumbified the

Newer laptops come with extra power peripherals and sensors. Some of them are in ACPI tables, some are not. Most of them are proprietary ASICs (or custom chips, nuvoton produces quite a bit of those). Linux kernel or the userspace has poor

AEG was sold to Electrolux which produces rather mid tier equipment. They are not a part of the old German trifecta (BSH, AEG and Miele).

You are misunderstanding what Tiers are. Embedded architectures cannot be Tier 1 which requires running Rust compiler compiled on the architecture itself and testing stuff on with it. Only full desktop systems will be Tier 1, because those

Well, basically all car manufacturers have this kind of anti-consumer behavior. So you end up not being able to buy anything that's produced after 2000. Definitely not EVs where manufacturers put even more software locks like this. It

On 64-bit systems (esp Linux ones) malloc almost never returns NULL but keeps overallocating (aka overcommiting). You don't get out of memory errors / kills until you access it.

I am not so sure. A purely type-system-based API (in place initialization + MaybeUninit ?) or a new "static" Vec type can already solve most of the problems with Box::new([val; N]).
