This is what happens when you put LLM in charge of update release. I know, they haven't said this is the case, but given their push of copilot down engineers throats...

Windows has not used 386 protected mode until WindowsNT. All 3.0, 3.11 and even 95 did not use protected mode. How do I know? In between 3.11 and 95 as a student I read about 386 protected mode and was fascinated. Even agreed with uni to do an assignment outside of my CompSci program. And I had 486 made not by Intel, but AMD. And mine 486 had a bug. It entered protected mode and worked as expected, but could not leave it. Upon instructed to exit protected mode it would just lock up. At first, I thought my code was wrong. But when OS/2, which did use protected mode, could not reboot my PC it dawned on me - this CPU had a bug and all the Windows I've tried on it did not use full potential of 386 architecture and instruction set.
The Western phones have been banned in that failed country shortly after their invasion to Ukraine and sanctions. Of course, some continue to use them and even buy new ones. E.g. the horse-head of ministry of foreign affairs carried iPhone 14 in the last summit in Bali. Double standards and hypocrisy - long standing standard in Хуйлостан.
Given the current events that involve Russia, it might very well be that they are hit by the sanctions, cannot work with the western companies and are completely off the grid. Heck, some of them even might have been taken to army and brought into meaningless war and faced death...
Amazon always thinks I need more of the same that I already bought. Netflix cannot understand that I want to watch different genre movies and TV series, not more of the same I watched latest. Spotify recommendations are also bollocks as my taste spans a whole lot of music styles.
Back in 2015 Joanna Rutkowska published a paper (https://blog.invisiblethings.org/papers/2015/x86_harmful.pdf) and pretty much predicted that attention will turn to hardware in search for new vulnerabilities. It's compelling, because owning a system at this level is more persistent, less visible and harder to get rid of.
A totally irrelevant rant about ones dream. MS = WP8 and that rules Blackberry out of equation. And about sysadmin phone? Be consistent with your requirements, please for whatevers' sake. First, it's decent browser, which of all choices Blackberries' is the most laughable choice. Then all of a sudden it's full blown productivity suite..? Which again is not in Blackberry favor. And what the hell you do as a sysadmin that you need productivity suite..? I'd understand decent ssh client and remote desktop app, but that..?
El'Reg has just fallen short on respect points for posting this article...
It was the Magratheans who constructed the planet-sized computer named Earth (for a race of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings, the mice) to determine the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, which is required to understand the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
I wonder what they have built now? I bet it's not another Earth.
my sweet lord of... whatever...
they may put any rules on this crapy carslberg "beer" factory. the fact is that less and less people drink their beer-product here in Lithuania. everyone I talk to are switching to small breweries (and there're plenty to choose from) production, because that's the real beer and not something produced at large quantities and very fast at some factory-thing.
