Yeah, it's promising and even MacOs numbers are a positive because it takes away from the Windows share. I think the future is looking up for Linux if these trends continue.
It's actually happening. HuaWei pretty much switched to their own HarmonyOS that's been forked from Android, and China has an initiative to replace Windows with Linux on the desktop as well.
I was saying that HramonyOS is a fork of Android. Linux is obviously a separate story from that. And here are a couple of article about China ditching Windows for a homegrown Linux distro
Presumably this could go the other way eventually as well to construct sensations directly in the brain. That'll be a whole new level of VR. You could potentially share mind states as well using this kind of tech. You'd encode an experience from one brain and then decode in another.
I distinctly recall @poVoq confidently explaining to me that using nuclear plants in this way was fantastical and unrealistic because nobody in the west is doing it.
Presented with a non-electricity production use case for nuclear power continues to claim that non-electricity production use-cases for nuclear energy are unrealistic. 🤷♂️
What part of nuclear power is very clearly being utilized for electricity production and heating are you not able to wrap your head around. The fact that the same plant is providing both is a net positive. Both electricity and heating are needs that have to be filled. So, not really sure what point you're trying to make regarding the fact that waste heat is being utilized for heating. The alternative is to do what Germany is doing and burn coal instead. I guess that's what you must consider to be preferable.
The use case in this article cannot be fulfilled effectively using solar or wind power sources. The fact that you evidently can't understand this is truly amazing.
"TikTok is a Chinese company that currently is mandated to cooperate with Chinese intelligence services,” Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said in a statement. The Belgian ban is based on a risk analysis by the country's intelligence services and recommendations by the national cybersecurity center.
China hasn't been at war since the 70s, and it's not due to lack of capacity. Your despotic regime has been invading countries for its entire existence. I can't wait until you all finally turn on each other and leave the rest of the world alone.
