What I've heard is it's mainly very single core CPU heavy, GPU not very relevant. Thanks I'm going to look into Winboat for sure, being suggested a lot here
The most powerful table in the UN is ruled by 5 nuclear superpowers, 3 of them are out: Russia, China, USA. A fourth (UK) has nukes which are not fully independent from the USA and basically lost their empire they had when they were given this prime seat, they are less powerful than they seem. That leaves France as sole UN defender. Weirdly you could even see China still being a somewhat stabilising factor. UN goal is indeed not to prevent all conflict, but it definitely was to contain conflict. 2/5 and maybe 3/5 want more conflict in the world, it is very clear, they want to prey on smaller, non nuclear armed countries.
Then you could also look at it in raw power: amount of nukes, ships, soldiers, missiles et cetera. In that case it's waaaay more than 3/5th that are out, because USA military is so fucking massive and the guy at the top of that who should be in jail or dead just announced he wants to increase the size of that massive, non UN-compliant military machine by another 50%... Unless USA get their shit together ASAP, UN is useless for protecting all the smaller member states. The goal of mediating any conflict in UN is simply unachievable without USA, because they hold the (raw, military) power. It has become quite likely the UN will indeed die because the major security council members are ruled assholes. Who's making deals about environment or climate when their neighbours/"allies" are threatening annexation and no big power reacts (worse, they're the one anbexing)? Right: no one.
The UN is functionally dead. It doesn't succeed in preventing conflict anymore, nor in saving people and the planet. And with it many other international organisations that held shit together in a somewhat predictable way since WW2.
History shows: next comes conflict. Large scale, very large scale. In fact possibly a scale we've never seen before.
If anything is left after that (nuclear age): the winner(s) make a new set of organisations that bring different actors together and new rules for the game.
The craziest part is that it's the dominating USA itself pulling the plug on its own world dominating organisations...
Exactly this. EU shouldn't issue hollow statements, France/UK should just send nuclear armed vessels to the greenland area and declare they are an alliance with Denmark...
But much harder to take into account is how the then middle aged people who might have voted to stay in EU, are now older, became more right wing and/or dumb and/or sucked deeper into algo-propaganda.
Because there are systems in place which enable sociopaths and psychopaths to become the richest and most powerful people in the world and the world is never enough for them.
It wouldn't do the trick, not a single country in Latin America is nuclear armed, there is no counter threat deterrence to the biggest superpower threat, even if they would be a united military (which is already really unlikely to happen). Unless French Guyana somehow gets caught up in the mess, who knows.
Who said the guerilla will be in the southern hemisphere? It will at some point come back to USA itself, there is already large diaspora in USA from almost every Latin American country. All that's needed is a foreign agency providing a bit of guidance and encouragement.
No you just look at what the largest possible administrative borders ever were in Europe, then those 3 pop out with very large territory with what one could call a single very large exterior border. There was 0 acceptance or rejection or any other way of valueing the situation whilst any of these borders, just a look at maximum extent of administrative borders, everything else is value you imply onto it.
Yes. Part of the reason it seems shocking to me that they are considered good practice in USA is things like this. Although the barcode thing is good and harmless, they try to make every little thing milliseconds faster, the cashiers at aldi don't do small talk, they don't have the time. If they are too slow at scanning, they get fired or that's the rumour at least. They recently also started splitting cash registry, so they can process even more costumers per minute and must be even more of a robot and less of a human... At many other supermarkets, the cashiers know their customers, have small talk about the weather or the kids or so. Aldi kind of forbids it without literally forbidding it because forbidding would probably not be legal.
Plenty of memory, CPU I think is still pretty good.
