That'll be the Russians using US and UK made trucks, jeeps, boats, aircraft and trains? Those tanks would barely gotten out of Moscow without US and UK support
Your country still hasn't grasped the concept of logistics in warfare.
It was a joint effort, regardless of who's propaganda you subscribe to.
Inkscape is fine but that's really an alternative to Illustrator/ Designer not Photoshop/ Photo
One advantage of Adobe / Affinity is the ability to easily flip between programs when working on a project.
As for Canva, im fairly confident they are not get rid of the pay once, use forever model, rather than subs. What you may see is an integration option, so you can push between the two products, probably on a subs model.
"Although Builder.ai's fall has roots in financial mismanagement and forecasts that were arguably over-optimistic"
That's pretty much every single AI company.
"We've got this awesome product."
"Great, how you going to make money from it?"
"Next year it'll be bigger and faster"
...and it's more of the "Look it can do stuff faster"
"What stuff?"
"You know, stuff you never, ever asked for, but something only people so detached from reality could ever dream of. You know, like ordering the same meal day in, day out, because you once said you liked pizza. Or how you've just spent £13 on a bottle of milk, because AI noticed it was getting a little low in the fridge. Then promptly spent another £300 on cereal and more milk, because it was 10 minutes since it ordered the bottle and you using the old milk, so you must be consuming 30 litres per hour."
Ahhh the good old days of Natchi and Blaster.
I remember well running around yanking the power from Nortel and Baystack switches and going from desk to desk, server to server with a bootdisk to disinfect each device, one by one. Those that were to far gone were wiped.
Lot easier to recover back in those days....it only took 2 days of non stop work.
I would of stopped at why study IT?
If they don't bring people in to <insert country here> then they'll just offshore it to the same country they recruit from
Throw in where they do hire in country, they are based in locations where the property is so crippling expensive that you'll have share a one bed slum with 18 other people.
When my ex was picking up her Masters (unrelated qualification) from Warwick Uni about 15 years ago, about 80 - 90% of those picking up their awards in Science and Maths had Chinese names.
This doesn't mean they were from China, but given that Warwick has a huge amount of overseas students, I would hazard a guess many were.
I wouldn't even go that far.
Spray everything gold, put red seat covers with MAGA embroidered on them, some leopard print rugs and stick some US flags in with wrong number of stars and stripes and you'll fool the pair of them
Oh, all the kit has to be made outside the USA so he feels like he's back in one of his own hotels.
...not people going "You know what I've come to realise? I fucking hate sitting in a soul destroying office environment, putting up with people I'd rather punch in the face than talk to. The place is run by idiots who struggle to make a pie chart for the next utterly pointless meeting. I'm going to do something with my life."
So I'm sure forcing people back into the office will kill that attitude
...the stock market is.
Profitable company says margins may be lower next quarter, shares drop.
AI company says it's going to hemorrhage even more cash this year, with no road map to profitability other than "it's going to be even better AI", shares go up.
What a time to be alive.
