We have 24 official languages, regulations/legal systems vary from county to county and we don't even have a common currency. It's a lot better than having to deal with each county individually but still way more overhead tha

Probably to give Russia concessions in the Ukraine negotiations. In my opinion Trump is trying to do everything he said he would in his campaign, he is trying to get the war in Ukraine over ASAP and be the peace bringer. Even in the leaked

AMD AI Max 395 (superb name) proved that x86 can get to Apple silicon perf. (even not that far in power efficiency), but there seems to be 0 devices from non-trash brands (I am not buying ASUS or HP). I would love to finally get out of Appl
