They are correct. It only means more work for future devices, makes the initial port to a device slower. But then, once things have been figured out. It becomes just as fast and reliable as it was (unless what I said earlier: Google setting things in a very different way in a major update (for example, moving to Fushia, which has been abandoned)

I agree, but it’s more complicated than that: They have removed the device tree for pixel devices from AOSP and using the device tree of the basic virtual phone in android studio instead. That brings the pixel 10 family (as well as future android pixel devices) to the same level as many other phonemaker’s devices as far as making roms is concerned. So not all hardware will be documented, many drivers will need to be rebuilt. The pixel line up to the 9a is not affected because older device trees can be used (until Google wants to mod the way drivers load or add API’s).

Hasn’t Iran a religious edict stating they cannot build or use nukes? We could be in a iraki WMD phase again (expecting Powell’s jar to appear any moment now).

But it’s done smartly with bypass (aka passtrough) where the battery is totally put offline at 80% and the device uses power from the USB plug only to run so you can leave the device plugged in for days on end and it doesn’t do anything to the battery. Older devices don’t have the BMS for that though.

Pixel 10 are set get quite powerful GPUs with raytracing etc

I agree with the sentiment but can’t help myself imagining that the AFD now has proof that " The German deep state is against them" and other " democracy is not there anymore". I’m afraid these actions just gives them fuel and countries should resolve what causes those parties to gain momentum in the first place: fight against corporate criminal attitude, fight against smaller everyday offenses and promote how law abiding foreigners are the big majority and maybe go lighter on the publicity of other affirmative actions, but still do them of course.

A strategy with a lack of thinking. You blow up st Petersbourg, you get nuclear fire back. If you keep the country occupied with another country, just enough to bleed Russia out, at best you might not even need to intervene militarily, the Russians will take care of their own. At worse you will face a severely diminished foe while you had time to prepare.

Isn’t France about to recognise the Palestinian state? And isn’t there a current crisis between France and Israel over what is happening with strong words from Macron to qualify what Israel is doing?

Strange, they both signed the same treaties yet the US usualy keeps their nuclear capable planes in hangars. Do you have any références to pertaining treaty articles?

A Vanuatu Passport… really

Can he be considered part of the “shadow fleet”?

Too tired to read the Nth post saying " country B is doing worse than country A!"

Doesn’t take away how shity country A is…

Maybe the fact country A and country B have abandonned the idea that republics exist for the many to enjoy living in and not the few at the top can explain things.

Poor you. Thoughts and prayers.

Oh crap! I’ve been putting trash in my ears all those years!

The same ban exists in France and most other EU countries. And the fines/administrative closures are quite stringent.

Now I understand why Trump recently used stronger terms about the russian president (while still blaming Ukraine). It was more about moving some pawn in Poland than really doing stuff to help.

I mean the chips cores being 100% Designed by AI using Alphachip (which has been open sourced by Google) or other AI only chip designing tools instead of using off the shelf ARM or RISC cores.

I don’t know how they spent so much time with Samsung, especially since TSMC is accostumed to using alphachip for the dimensity line, the same AI chip designing tool Google uses for it’s NPU’s. Iwonder what it could mean for the future of chip design, is the ARM architecture about to be rendered irelevant by AI.

No, he can’t really go far with his political power he’ll just get entangled into more litigation… He needs to persuade countries to sell US bonds to bring down the value of the dollar in a significant enough way for project 25 to execute. He’s chosen the hard way so why would we satisfy him by doing exactly what he expects of us? Selling bonds isn’t cashing in on them, it’s just transfering the risk to someone else, a bonds market crash would dévalue the value of the dollar at the loss of the EU, china, japan, the UK etc… Let the dollar go on a softer landing (as it’s poised to do anyway, whatever happens on the bond market) let the country get back on tracks then resume activity on the bond market once the dollar has gained back some health. Accept some losses but have the overall financial losses much lighter for EU states and financial institutions on the long term. No need for the EU suffer for stuff done by america to itself.

Why fight with european consumer prices and get people to moan against the EU or their gouvernement about price hikes? Fight with states actively pushing alternative IT services and defense industry from the EU, through advertising, through hybrid commercial war, spread rumors amongst conspiracy nuts, offer tax cuts for venture capital into EU firms. Get closer to friendlies and just turn your back to the US. Don’t engage, don’t fight. Simply ignore all carrots and sticks until the US gets out of that tantrum. Don’t dump US bonds though, make it illegal if need be, dumping bonds is just helping Trump bring down the value of the dollar, that’s a price to pay to put out that bully but it’s a temporary cost that can be recooped when you dump them strategicaly when the US economy will have to get itself out of the economic hole they are digging.

I always find it amusing that we, in the west, have sent our mining, recycling and manufacturing to China and then clutch our pearls to gasp at how huge China’s CO2 output is.

The problem isn’t only China, the problem is us all.
