Music (mainly prog rock) and veggie loving, geeky cat butler living in Hertfordshire UK. A lover of all things LOTR (since I first read it over 50 years ago) scifi and what have you. Ex soldier (Royal Artillery) and other trades ;-)
It’s the Chinese way.
Obligatory eye-roll.
Do you use Arch by any chance?
PS. Two of my machines run Endeavour OS, the other MX XFCE ;-)
I can remember when North Korea being a nuclear power was ‘fantasy’ and ‘it’ll never happen’. Despite all our sanctions, they’ve still managed to develop nukes. Thanks to Russia, China and Iran. And we day back and watched because we wanted that cheap oil and gas and the plastic tat from China.
Especially when there are billionaires from your country. Not having a dig at India especially. We have a few in UK. One of them is married to our millionaire prime minister.
In a word, no. They are focused on the Adobe name. A bit like Apple, lots of good alternatives but who wants to be seen with a ‘insert non fashionable name here’ phone. There was a time when Adobe was king, not anymore though.
This. No amount of excuses or lengthy explanations. It’s childish and unprofessional.
So what are we looking at, the next 5 years?
From the article
This would make charging phones, laptops, and even electric cars much more efficient and convenient.
We need to come down hard on these bastards. We need to set examples because if it was one of ours doing the same in China or Russia, they’d be in a forced labour camp for 20 years. Jail the bugger, vigorously interrogate him and then trade him in a few years after he’s sampled the delights of the US prison system.
Thing is, if it’s non toxic, then it’s possibly safe. Maybe not pleasant, but not poisonous. Just as bad as pineapple on pizza.
Wonder how long it’ll be before we get suggestions about eating detergent capsules or drinking bleach to cure covid.
Training your AI on Reddit was never a good idea though, you just have to look at all the crap on there to realise that. Let’s just hope they didn’t use Facebook as well, or worse, Quora!
Thought so. That was my point.
Samsung have Expert RAW for their (high end?) phones. That’s probably Samsung only though.
Never had any luck with WIne - don’t bother now. Am lucky(?) enough to only have to use Windows at work. Although my browsing habits may change slightly when we upgrade :-)
Well it’s not ration packs for a start.
Yeah, that shouldn’t be a thing. Ought to be left to the host nation. We don’t want Chinese law in Europe - or anywhere else for that matter.
Why on earth would they need Chinese policemen? Is there a problem with Chinese tourists or a disproportionate number of Chinese immigrants that would require such a presence? Sounds like they are looking for tips on how to keep tabs on people. With all the downsides that will generate.
So Winnie the Pooh and Paddington have set this deal up.
