<p>The most impressive thing is that if they stopped putting out new features, and solely delivered security and optimization patches for Windows, it would unironically be the best no-frills platform. You could just keep milking steady upgrade fees.<p>But no, they have to go out of their way to accelerate the enshittification of Windows.</p>

<p>So let me get this straight: The US government directly buying stakes in Intel is A-OK, but any involvement from the CCP in any form in any company is Not Good ?<p>If the only issue at hand was indeed security vulnerabilities, then I can see many ways that can constructively address that (e.g. Since a large number of SKUs deployed in the US are managed by the Telcos, then force them to finance the support for continued firmware updates).<p>The US will probably be collecting the reciprocity of their actions, and they won't like it ... It's a very childish game they're playing and it will hurt them in 15 years time ...</p>

<p>While I agree with the general idea, I think the sales pitch is less "a bunch of ARM Cortex cores" and more "a bunch of RDNA2 cores stuck to the same Cortex cores you're used to".<p>For things like the automotive industry or industrial applications, it could have some sense. Most are high-margin industries ready to commit to specific architectures.</p>

<p>Funnily enough, I got into trouble in Korea (Jeju to be specific) because of this. I had just stopped at a red light (huge intersection), and I saw a police car get behind me, they had their lights on and put on the sirens.<p>In my home country (France), lights mean emergency, sound means "MOVE ITS URGENT" (and they generally ONLY use sirens when it is REALLY urgent). So when they started the siren, I put my warning lights on and moved slowly through the red light and to the outside of the road (I did not continue moving).<p>The guy ripped me a new one in Korean, but then I explained that I thought it was urgent because we were all stopped and they put the sound on so I moved out of the way in the safest way I could and even stopped. He calmed down eventually.<p>Apparently, it's normal in Korea for police cars to 1) always have the lights on and 2) just randomly blast the sirens going about their day.</p>

<p>What this tells is the following:<p>1. You have absolutely no clue how the BitTorrent protocol works.
2. You have never maintained a widely used app as a single developer.
3. The extent of your use of LLMs is either academic / hobby or very narrowly focused and not integrated into a global product.<p>Just these points make your "suggestion" about using "LLMs to detect stuff is extremely easy" laughable at best.<p>The reason why people want to install their own software is to have freedom over their devices. The copyrighted content removal has a mechanism for it, called DMCA. And this is not how it works. The application does not have any content or means to circumvent any measures.</p>

<p>Assuming this does happen, I would genuienly like to read what a plausible follow-up would look like, for peace in Gaza.<p>Would they extend Israel to Gaza and give everyone there a special status ? Or if they choose to setup a state, who will handle the "legal violence" part of the social contract ? Israel ? Folks from Gaza ?<p>And what about currency and international trade ? Would Gaza be allowed access to international waters ?</p>
