It's interesting how the README.md basically states in every other paragraph how you should not use this without authorization. The term (un)authorized and variations appear 18 times in there.

That is not a Shahed drone, that is a Geran-2 drone. Which is similar from the outside but not the same. Also Iran doesn't have stock of R-60s I think.

It proves that the medical community did not learn from Semmelweis. Reports on Thalidomide side effects were ignored, suppressed or dismissed. Distributors sat on such reports for months while continuing to sell the drug. Overall it took se

There is a difference between productive business and basic infrastructure. Just look at China, they have state capitalism with free market economy according to the 60/70/80/90 rule. The state capitalism covers most basic nee

The problem here is that the production of hydrocarbons, ammonia, etc. from electricity can only make back its high upfront investment when it runs basically 24/7. This is a challenge for renewables. In China which recently opened a la

In China the participatory model works and citizens overwhelmingly approve of the outcomes (when it comes to domestic policy). In US, which is a liberal democracy, you have outcomes like 20% satisfaction with Congress, yet >90% incumbent

A 1 party system can still be democratic in a way. Just participation in the policymaking works differently. In China this is feedback from the public and local committees. Also that freedom of speech is very limited is correct, and there i

Far more Chinese think that their country is a democracy and the government serves the people than in the US. Whether this is objectively true is another question, but from their perspective, that's what it is.

I put the blame squarely on Microsoft, how they released a turd with WP7 (a shiny one with responsive UI, but nonetheless a turd). About phone OS upgrades, remember the HTC HD2 which originally released with WM6.5 but could be upgraded to W

Windows Vista SP2 was basically identical to Windows 7 RTM, with mostly cosmetic differences. What changed is that by Windows 7 launch, PC specs had caught up with system requirements and WDDM drivers had matured and were no longer crashing

It turns out rather ok without actual infinity, by limiting oneself to potential infinity. Think a Turing Machine where every time it reaches the end of its tape, an operator ("tape ape") will come and put in another reel.

Manufacturing labor cost in China has surpassed parts of Eastern Europe. I agree that infrastructure, supply chains, political stability, and education are the primary drivers for attracting manufacturing to China.

Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. Like when Sun Microsystems submitted ODF for standardization to ISO, it was so successful that Microsoft had to do it too for OOXML. In fact MS pushed so hard that it left a huge trail of destr

Win10 IoT LTSC does not cover all use cases though. When it comes to gaming, for example Windows Mixed Reality is not included and cannot be installed afterwards (but then again, Microsoft dropped it from Windows 11 too, so no loss there).

The later Intel Macs with T1/T2 chip also come with a number of caveats on Linux. Don't expect those to work out of the box with standard Linux distros.

No. One major obstacle with M4 support is SPTM. M5 has major GPU changes again so that is even more ways off.
