You can run Chinese models locally without Internet, while with US models you need to have Internet connection. Guess where it is easier to hide a backdoor.

Why do you people love over-engineering and bad architectures so much? Do you have any sense of engineering beauty? Modern CPUs already run every application in an isolated sandbox under "protected mode". There is no need to emulate a machine with hardware devices, run a separate kernel, drivers and services. The only problem is that the OS kernel and privileged system services usually grant too much ways to bypass the sandbox. So the proper architecture would be to re-design and fix the existing OS instead of using ugly hacks like VM.

I also use VM to run code editors and AI. One must be crazy to run third-party software (including package managers like npm) unrestricted. The overhead is significant, and VS Code UI is lagging heavily without a GPU.

US government seized all citizens' gold in 1933 (see Executive Order 6102) [1]. I thought in US the private property is sacred, it turned out US is no different from communists which would seize multi-apartment buildings owned by private persons.

Yes but you can calculate inflation using different means. DRAM price grew many-fold, did pensions increased the same way? Or, to be more realistic, they may calculate inflation using cheapest and barely edible food and not account for fresh vegetables and cheese.

On Android many things available on Desktop Linux are disabled by selinux. For example, af_alg algorithm (encryption kernel module writes out of bounds) is not accessible by user using ADB.

What if you are too old and cannot work?

USDT is implemented as a contract written in Solidity, working over other network like ETH, and it has a blacklist managed by admins. Once address is added to a blacklist, you cannot spend anything from it.

It's literally in USDT contract [1], see line 264. USDT is implemented as a contract in several other networks like ETH and has a blacklist. So every USDT operation is a record in ETH blockchain that calls one of the methods (like "transfer" or "add to blacklist").

Probably not everyone knows, but USDT has a "black list", and admins can prevent any address holding USDT from spending. The black list is implemented in USDT contract.

So USDT is not truly decentralized and your money can be frozen for any reason or no reason at all.

Is this problem a Nobel prize level problem?

"Standard shell" also should allow Ctrl + C for copying, it makes no sense to use a different combination for console.

UNIX doesn't exist anymore, and C has lot of negative points (easy to create buffer overflows, integer overflows, use-after-free, and other vulnerabilities).

Emacs is probably older than me why should we care about what they used in 80s?

Why are they using weird key combinations instead of traditional Ctrl + S, Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C used in desktop applications? Why every console program wants to be a special snowflake and not use standard key combinations, please explain. I do not care that 40 years ago someone used Ctrl + C to send SIGINT, it is 2026 now.

The problem is too few lines of code and controls can fit on a small screen. How many lines of code fit on your 12 inch screen? On my screen there are 40 lines and some space for window headers and top bar.

I remember when software asked for a permission to check if there are updates available. Commercial software became complete garbage.

Mandatory EULA must be banned. Any device must be usable and provide all features advertised without accepting an EULA.

"bestest" CPU is not required, but with 13 inch screen you have to either make everything tiny and strain your eyes, or have only 10-15 lines of code in the screen. Also, modern websites and apps use gigantic font size and you will have like 3 paragraphs of text in one screen.

No, I do not. How does this solve the small screen size problem?

I read that Chinese found a way to upgrade DRAM on GPUs, for example, making RTX 2080 Ti with 22 Gb DRAM, or RTX 4090 with 48 Gb. The modded cards are better (by price and RAM size) than the new ones manufactured by NVIDIA, although some say they are not reliable.

13 inch screen is a toy usable only for browsing social media and not for real work.

It costs like how many standard laptops? 3 or 4? They use the most expensive CPU (but not having best cost/performance ratio) for example.

What is the profit for a manufacturer if you buy one laptop and use it for 10 years straight instead of buying a new one every 3 years?

Also they not only solder DRAM, now they solder keyboards so that you cannot replace it easily. My garbage keyboard broke after just 2 years of using and I had to solder ~100 plastic pins to replace it (and the replacement keyboard turned out to be not of a great quality).

Some claim that migrants are allowed to enter to work and help the economy. Once they have helped, they can leave, why do they need citizenship?

Other migrants claim that they run from an oppressive regime in their country. They also do not need a citizenship - once the regime changes (like in Syria) they can leave.

Isn't the problem a large number of migrants that are looting the stores, and not social media?

Why not ban migrants from getting citizenship? So that they can work for 2-3 years and then must leave. Also, restrict their movement freedom so that they are not allowed to live in the capital.

What a garbage company, artificially limiting the performance.

This is why "right a reprogram" should exist. Anyone should be able to reverse-engineer and reprogram anything that has a CPU.

We use SMS OTP as a second factor. Although banks of course want to save some cents and use push notifications for those who has a mobile app.

In Russia, all banks I tried, are usable via web app (because smartphone apps live only 1-2 months before they are detected and removed from app stores). The disadvantage of a web app is that it is not always-on, doesn't allow tracking users are well as a real app, and cannot display advertisement notifications.

Why not just use a web app from laptop at home? Why do you even need an app on your phone? So that you can urgently transfer money to some scammers you met in the street?

I do not have any banking apps, and I log into a bank account maybe once in month or less often.

Many Android phones are not unlockable without hacking. They use cryptography to protect the bootloader and to get the unlock code for your own phone first you need to provide them all your information.

You can be impolite at your home as much as you want but in public spaces we need to enforce politeness with harsh punishments.
