It’s exactly what it is, you build a strawman and then argue against it.

so that mean I know everything about Europe”

You claimed I only knew about USA from crap I read on the Internet. While in fact you obviously know nothing about what I know or my sources. Of course I know the states are different.

I’ll bet you wouldn’t want to live in Romania? If I compared Romania to Denmark you would laugh at me.

Yet another straw man, I was using a story from Florida to criticize USA which is perfectly legitimate.
If you use a story from Romania to criticize EU that could similarly be legitimate.
But it will be hard to find stories like the one I linked to you about any EU country, because EU countries are required to respect human rights. USA once did and it was considered important, but they don’t anymore. That ship finally sailed with George W Bush.

There are things that are shitty in every country, but there are no western democracies that are as overall shitty as USA. As I mentioned USA is a society that is mentally ill with sociopathy. The only countries that are comparable in that regard are all totalitarian.

Romania has problems from being under soviet communism for almost half a century, all the previous eastern block countries are still economically behind because of that.
USA has been the leader of the world for 80 years, and has been the world biggest economy, with about a third or fourth of global wealth, for just a 20th of the population.
But has failed in turning all that wealth and power and know how into much progress of their society.

And in that regard EU and many other democracies have done way better with way less. USA has wasted immense opportunities for improvements, falling behind everybody else in the traditional west or first world. Everything basically spiraled downwards after Jimmy Carter was replaced by Ronald Reagan. It’s crazy to see how bad things are now in USA compared to what the post WW2 originally seemed to promise.

Maybe because you are gay you are focusing way too much on your own problems in society, and not really registering how fundamental problems of USA are getting worse despite vastly increased wealth?

Anyhoo blaming me for ignorance and ignoring criticism will definitely not help.

The degree of overreach by a US company, in this instance, is shocking.

Yes, but they do many other types of shenanigans that are against the interest of their users. Like snooping, and lock in attempts, stifling competition and charging high prices for services that cost next to nothing to deliver. Those things are completely apart from the fact that you have zero control with the software, or insight into back doors or other security issues.

We could just as easily see Mossad fucking with a poorly implemented Linux iteration

WTF? Talk about a straw man argument! There’s a reason some of the most demanding and sensitive tasks are completely dominated by Linux. Stock exchanges is is one example of that.

No one here is boasting about American exceptionalism.

That was not an accusation against you, but a general observation. And I must admit that it seems Americans have become a bit more modest lately.

here, this is bad!

No that’s not it, it’s not just bad, it’s part of a systemic problem that permeates USA.

you know nothing about the US besides the crap you read online,

That’s a weird statement, since I’ve already told you I’ve been to USA, and so has many of my friends. Danes are among the most traveling people in the world, so I think the one who displays ignorance here is you. Also not all you read on the net is crap, there are reliable sources, and I very much filter by that.

You are absolutely right, and I can understand that for a company IT department, but for public institutions, there are so many factors that speak for using open source software.
Public institutions have requirements of for instance transparency private businesses don’t have.
Here universities have been aware of this for all of those 20+ years, and usually the ones that advice governments come from universities.
But somehow monetary interests comes in between, and lobby their expensive proprietary solutions. And that’s the real problem I think, proprietary vendors have loads of money for lobbying, while open source has almost zero.

The old saying goes, “nobody ever got fired for buying Cisco.”

That would be IBM, and that saying is from way before Cisco was even founded.

Obviously not in a nursery home, where people with for instance dementia can turn aggressive for no reason.
It also very noticeably is not part of the story that the nurse being poked with it suffered any damage.
I used the example drinking straw, I probably should have used a spoon as example instead.

A cutlery knife is a table knife, and those are very rarely pointy, and in mostly any kind of institution they are NEVER pointy. Unless it’s run by mad management.
Also they aren’t really sharp, so they can’t cut through your skin.

A butter knife is typically wider, to make it easier to apply butter. But we are with 99.99% chance talking about a cutlery knife that has similar cutting ability to a butter knife.

That’s been one of the cornerstones of Microsoft propaganda against open source. So it’s not strange that the uninformed are exactly that, uninformed.
It’s worse when the professionals fall for it, and fail to recommend good solutions to politicians.

Do people really still need to be explained why proprietary software is bad?
I have zero understanding of why an organization like ICC would use it? Any court needs to be independent, and using proprietary software clearly compromises that. The same goes for public services. And private enterprises should of course avoid it in their own interest.

Open source proponents have tried to explain this simple fact for more than 20 years. But 90% of people simply don’t care even just a little.

It’s only fair, because Microsoft never made a single original piece of software their first 20 years of existence.
Everything was borrowed or even stolen from others, and most Microsoft software was worse than the originals they copied.
Their biggest “innovation” was the way they licensed their software.

Go UK! 👍 😀

There is such a thing as felony murder,

Seems fair to be at least somewhat responsible for the wider consequences of your actions.

These being cops, however, my money is on paid vacation and a transfer to a new department.

Yes this is probably the same everywhere, but IMO it’s turning things on their head when police is granted extreme leniency for criminal actions.

This is allowed in USA!!

And then Americans wonder why we see your dystopian country as extremely stupid and shitty.
Do you even have a clue know stupid Americans sound when they boast about American exceptionalism and freedom which are both lies?
Wake up and accept the state of your country, that’s a requirement for fixing it.

There are lots of good Americans, but the country as a society is mentally ill.

According to the article it’s tested to be faster, and the final product may have further microcode tweaks that improve performance.
So unless there was cheating involved on the test, then yes it should be faster. But of course we don’t know for sure before we have confirmed tests from trusted sources.

As you say, nice with some competition, and it should also be very fast on graphics and AI, Immortalis graphics are very fast and excellent for gaming. And G925 is the newest version of that. So very definitely it will be fast.

Source?

Source: my brain.
USA has 60 times more people, and the IT development cost the same disregarding the size of population, hence the cost for USA is only a 60th per capita.

I’m just saying you know absolutely nothing about the US, or how its government works.

Bullshit, I’ve been to USA, and I follow lots of American news, so I probably know more than the average American.

Are you being sarcastic? Do you know what a cutlery knife is?
He was poking her with it, but nothing happened, because such a place a cutlery knife is obviously completely rounded and not sharp. He might as well have been poking her with a drinking straw.

No usually the lifespan is to 75%

the Xring O1 should outperform the Snapdragon 8 Elite

That’s very impressive for a first effort, but the real test is how energy efficient it is. It shal be interesting to see reviews of this. 😀

The new Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 will be out later this year, so I don’t expect this to be performance king. But still this seems like a huge accomplishment, very possible way better than what Samsung has shown.

Denmark is significantly smaller than the US

Did you just now realize that most countries of the world are smaller than USA?

Yes we are smaller, and that of course makes more even services easier. But it doesn’t make it cheaper. To develop the software for the IT infrastructure is about 60 times more expensive for us than it would be for USA, if USA leveraged the power of scale.

So it is also a HUGE disadvantage regarding cost of deployment per capita.

Here we have same sex marriage in the whole country, free healthcare, free education, one of the best democracies in the world and highest level of freedom of speech too, longer life expectancy, higher HDI, way less poverty despite USA is richer! Half the CO2 per capita, higher quality of life (happiness) index. And it just goes on and on.

When I say USA is a shitty country, it really is compared to Denmark, and many European countries. Even the best states of USA don’t compare to Denmark on the quality of society.
And that’s despite USA is a richer country!

The problem is that he only wants to end it in a way that favors Putin.
This ought to be clear to everybody by now.

Calculating from cost of battery, for an about 10 kWh battery, and estimating 3650 full charge cycles which is the max for a typical estimated 10n year lifespan.
To get more accurate numbers you need to do the calculation on the specific battery.
