Copilot+ PCs software compatibility issues left to you to sort out, with help from crowdsourcers

Browser + VSC/Node would be enough for many. You can get Intellij Idea for ARM64, both Linux and Windows. I am not impressed by current laptops' pricing but it is a decent alternative.

ITER delays first plasma for world's biggest fusion power rig by a decade

Scrap this project! Or at least reevaluate! We always should rethink our investments after a while. There is absulutely no chance for a competitive power plant out of this project in this century. Again - competitive! Positive energy balanse is not the goal.

Destroying offshore wind farms is top priority for Trump if he returns to presidency

"American Bird Conservancy says between 500K and a million birds or so are killed every year by turbines" vs "A recent study by the Smithsonian Institution and the US Fish and Wildlife Service estimated that domestic cats kill about 2.4 billion birds and 12.3 billion small mammals each year in the lower forty-eight states." A million vs billions. Just say it aloud that all domestic cats in the USA will be executed on day one :)

One quote more from Google - "Window strikes are among the top three human-related cause of bird deaths, along with cats and habitat destruction. Up to one billion birds die each year in the United States due to collisions with windows and research shows that 54-76 percent of window collisions are fatal.". Remove all windows in the USA on day one! :-D

Iran most likely to launch destructive cyber-attack against US – ex-Air Force intel analyst

Why TF don't we cut off our Internet from these MF-countries? Excuse my language but one feels so powerless nowadays.

Joint European Torus experiments end on a 69 megajoules high

69MJ=2kg of coal. Can these researchers now go to banks with this achievement and not charge the taxpayer any longer?

Rust can help make software secure – but it's no cure-all

I don't care about security in Rust so much, it is speed that is the reason I use it. API & middleware. I am quite surprised how many people are lazy and still use Java/C#.

You'll [BZZ] like Intel’s [BZZ] NUC 13 Pro once the fan [BZZ] stops blowing

HP Elite Mini 600 G9 is 'crazy quiet':

US cyber chiefs warn AI will help crooks, China develop nastier cyberattacks faster

for Christ sake, when are we going to cut off our network from china, russia and north korea? and any other country that does not oppress these bastards.

helloSystem 0.8: A friendly, all-graphical FreeBSD

Re: ...Meanwhile, the Linux world has a profusion of rival distros, desktops, and packaging formats

exactly the same question here, and I started with Yggdrasil too :) amazingly I do remember both the sound after boot and the excitement of the first boot. Linux has got its wrinkles but it is still the love of my life.

In Rust We Trust: Microsoft Azure CTO shuns C and C++

My experience with Rust has not been that optimistic, I still write memory intensive routines in C because performance of Vec<> is lagging. No, not 20% ish, much more.

Intel pushes out NUC mini PC with Arc graphics

Then it is more expensive that 12th gen i7 laptops, but with these you also get a keyboard, display and battery. even if it is a plastic junk from HP. NUCs will have a problem with Mac Mini when Asahi Linux gets more dev tools.
