Unfortunately, trying to set up this particular “rage bait” is also ignorant and uneducated. The numbers we use are derived from Arabic numerals. But modern Arabic numerals does not look like the ones we use in the Latin Alphabet. They can also change a bit depending on which arabic country you’re in.

If you’re an average “westerner” you probably don’t know what modern arabic numerals look like. And learning them would be required to know which symbol means what.

That being said. Teaching children that different children across the world have different symbols for things is still a good thing to teach them. While also teaching them there are other systems than our base 10 system. Such as the Duodecimal system.

Interesting, and also hopeful if that’s the case. That’s much a much better situation than if we couldn’t get them out of our body at all.

Are you sure. I’ve read they keep collecting in various organs, including our brains

At least now they have reintroduced “tjänstemannaansvar” (public servant accountability). And when I say now I actually mean, pretty much now. It went into effect 1 august of this year.

It was not. It’s actually pretty recent.

I Just run YouTube via my browser with adblock instead of trying to fiddle with an app. And i have another extension so videos doesn’t stop playing when i turn off my screen.

Funny story, here in Sweden, our speaker of the parliament was visiting a school to speak. Someone threw a “banana or part of a banana”. Bodyguards “aprehended” the boy until police arrived and the boy was interrogated at the police station.

The speaker then started a criminal suit against the boy (who was 16) with the charge of disorderly conduct. The damage was noted as, “a stained shirt”.

According to the speaker, incidents like this could cause politicians to not want to speak at schools (oh no… how will the children cope?)

Anyway, people are calling him out as the clown he is. And i’d be very surprised if he gets to keep his post after our election (regardless of who wins)

They are not mutually exclusive.

Interesting. I have heard that hardware manufacturers create specific chip architecture to suit AI technology.

Though I had not considered that the hardware might shift so much as to be rendered “useless” for the average consumer

Please feel free to come and ping this thread in 2028 to tell me Im wrong.

I’m honoured you think I’m petty enough to dig up a 2 year old post just to say “i told you so” to some random user on the Internet.

But unfortunately I’m only mortal. I’ll leave that kind of pursuit to the bots.

Look, I’m not entierly sure what point you’re trying to make. But I can assure you, you’re not going to get there by putting words in my mouth, nor by trying to tell me what my own sister was thinking or hoping for when we were kids. Because you know absolutely nothing about us. So just stop.

I thought I’d follow through with the analogy since you engadged in it. But now you’re clearly reaching too far.

Nothing I’m saying here is a justification or an excuse. It’s an explanation of how it works.

People, and governments often have a very different set of worries.

As an individual, you might not care if it’s the US or China that has access to your information. For the vast majority of people, it’s not going to affect them personally.

But if you are American. The US government will care if China has access. And if you are chineese, then China will care if the US has access.

And if you’re a russian politician, well, then you’re probably more concerned what Russia knows than US or China. Seeing as neither of those two will help you “fall out” of a window.

She prefers to be an annoying asshole. You’re just not allowed to call her that.

I was angry with my sister when she “spied” on me. I took her to “court” for a “trial” and the “judge” gave her time out and a 4 hour supervised probation period.

But it would be a whole different ballgame of actions and consequences if some random person were to do it Neither is ok. But one of them is more severe than the other.

Nope. China is too big of a country to produce everything they need themselves.

Contrary to popular belief, what china imports the most is actually electronic components. Followed by fossil fuels.

Those two categories alone account for ~40% of all Chineese imports as of 2024.

If their competitors can’t keep up

Their competitors have already sold out their entire 2027 production.

The money they make selling RAM to private consumers is not even 1 promille of their revenue.

Yes, nations are generally more lenient when it comes to domestic spying compared to foreign spying.

Kind of like how I’m allowed to say my sister is an annoying asshole but if anyone else talks shit about her, we’re gonna have a problem.

The chips that goes into the iphones are not made in China.

iPhones are not made in china as much as they are assembled in China. The crucial components comes from the same place as everyone elses. Taiwan.

They do so because while the manufacturing is taking place in Taiwan, the blueprints are not.

It’s why we call iPhone american phones. Despite them being manufactured in China

Can we just appreciate how you first told him he’s wrong for suggesting memory will be cheap again in 2028.

Only to immediately try to frame it as “memory won’t be cheap until 2028 so that proves my point!”

Which is exactly what he said to begin with. Top notch. 👌

Yeah… if you’re german. You know exactly why and how your tech was ‘stolen’. I would suggest you sit in your corner of shame and don’t draw anymore attention to it.

I got some 16gb of DDR4 i found in a closet. You guys can start bidding.
