But will 100 billion actually be spent and if so will it be spent to anything cutting edge by completion

The rest of the year and next are going to be a ghost town or it’ll be the cheapest away game for people to fly to

Hard part is software distribution. You can buy Chinese phones but what app store? Can focus on open source applications. Use F-Droid. I have an iPhone and an older Pixel 7. In the past I’ve had ZTE phones. I guess you can buy a Chinese phone with a Mediatek processor that has YMTC memory chips and … whatever else

Desktop/laptop you should and encourage other to try Linux. Something common. Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Even if it’s US based, supporting Linux and open source software aligns with what you want

What VPN? Haven’t seen that yet with Proton

It’ll still be about whether Epic gets mobile ports or if Valve or another service streamlines and integrates a Proton/Winlator solution. Not the worst bloatware but I’m still holding out for something Steam based. It’s mid-December and still waiting for the games EGS they said would start dropping before the end of the year

It doesn’t have performance parity with Windows yet so for Linux a 7600/7600xt is better for gaming. Compute performance though is great in their other article so a matter of if you’re planning to write ROCm or OneAPI code or just downloading applications and hoping for ROCm or OneAPI support

I’d copy you and drop the hardware. Just: you deserve better

Really I don’t know but I remember dealing with a dual vpn years ago with Samsung phones

The loophole in WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption is simple: The recipient of any WhatsApp message can flag it. Once flagged, the message is copied on the recipient’s device and sent as a separate message to Facebook for review.

That practically applies to every form of digital communication. Sender/recipient has it on their end unencrypted and passes/leaks it on elsewhere

I may buy one depending on how Winlator development goes. The recent hype has been people getting Steam installed and installing games directly from Steam. Worse performance than doing a per game container and customizing but that’s a hassle

After roe vs Wade and another 4 years of Republicans getting the chance to replace the old Republican appointees and maybe Sotomayor kicking the bucket, I wouldn’t be surprised if the SC did enable some future bans in the next couple of decades
