4chan is a flaming trash heap

Military stuff

They forgot Reddit. Reddit is full of open racism all the time.

The People’s Republic of China which governs the mainland claims Taiwan but the Republic of China which currently only governs Taiwan technically also claims all of the mainland too. The two Chinas are a result of the Chinese Civil War which ended with the communists taking over most of China and the nationalist government effectively being exiled to the island of Taiwan and continuing there.

So if free countries have to pick one or the other to recognize why not choose the ROC which is a free democracy instead of the PRC which is a de facto dictatorship? At the same time it would force the rest of the world to sever its addiction to cheap PRC made goods using what amounts to slave labor meanwhile the ROC makes high quality goods and has a robust STEM workforce that leads the world in industries like computer hardware.

I would say Samsung is like the Korean GE but tbh it’s more like GE is a smaller American Samsung.

The userbase is too small for now. But I hope more people start coming over from Steve Huffman’s hellhole.

Can’t.

It was considered to be cake by regulatory authorities in Ireland.

This is why I use Fedora for everything except gaming and MS Office.

Who’s Lenny?

Linux is much more commonly used in embedded systems than Windows for obvious reasons.

Who?

Intel is a near monopoly and it controls the physical hardware that runs the entire universe with the exception of mobile devices and embedded.

If you’re going to break anyone up that’s who I would go for first but because of the pipe dream of making computer chips in 'Murica these idiot politicians keep propping up Intel’s Wall Street investors while its employees get fucked over.

At the very least the x86 duopoly has to end. It’s not only legal but kept the way it is because of legal contracts. The courts need to declare them void because their enforcement leads to the violation of antitrust laws.

So they’re breaking up Google but giving Intel more free money after it cut 15k jobs?

Palestinians had zero respect for them either and started several wars against Israel which they lost. Maybe they should’ve thought about that then.

I’m just surprised there was a female dictator of an Islamic country at all given how little respect that religion has for women.

Not anymore. As of driver version 555 Nvidia works just as well as anything.

As a former computer science and economics TA and lecturer all I have to say is please don’t be that guy.

If your class uses Windows, use Windows, if it uses Linux use the exact same distribution as the instructor and for the love of whatever you believe in if you bring a Mac into my classroom and argue with me that it’s Unix so it’s close enough I will smash it over your head and fail you so you don’t hold up my class because you think you’re special.

OS and embedded dev here. I use assembly all the time. I’ve even worked on firmware that was entirely in assembly of strict requirements that couldn’t be met in C.

Also even machine code hides a lot about how the underlying machine works so if you really want to do computing from scratch you really do hate to invent the universe because there’s abstractions all the way up the hardware stack just like there is in software.

This is the result of so called tribal knowledge in software development. It’s even worse when the senior citizen who understands everything retires, goes senile, or dies.
