780,000 Windows Users Downloaded Linux Distro Zorin OS in the Last 5 Weeks (zorin.com) 7
In October Zorin OS claimed it had 100,000 downloads in a little over two days in the days following Microsoft's end of support for Windows 10.
And one month later, Zorin OS developers now claim that 780,000 people downloaded it from a Windows computer in the space of a month, according to the tech news site XDA Developers. In a post on the Zorin blog, the developers of the operating system Zorin OS 18 announced that they've managed to accrue one million downloads of the operating system in a single month [since its launch on October 14]. While this is plenty impressive by itself, the developers go on to reveal that, out of that million, 78% of the downloads came from a Windows machine. That means that at least 780,000 people on Windows gave Zorin OS 18 a download...
[I]t's easy to see why: the developers put a heavy emphasis on making their system the perfect home for ex-Windows users.

Physicists Reveal a New Quantum State Where Electrons Run Wild (sciencedaily.com) 7
ScienceDaily reports:
Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum conditions. Researchers identified how to tune these transitions and even discovered a bizarre "pinball" state where some electrons stay locked in place while others dart around freely. Their simulations help explain how these phases form and how they might be harnessed for advanced quantum technologies...
When electrons settle into these rigid arrangements, the material undergoes a shift in its state of matter and stops conducting electricity. Instead of acting like a metal, it behaves as an insulator. This unusual behavior provides scientists with valuable insight into how electrons interact and has opened the door to advances in quantum computing, high-performance superconductors used in energy and medical imaging, innovative lighting systems, and extremely precise atomic clocks... [Florida State University assistant professor Cyprian Lewandowski said] "Here, it turns out there are other quantum knobs we can play with to manipulate states of matter, which can lead to impressive advances in experimental research."

The RF already lost the war. They have failed to achieve all of their declared goals, partly because most of these were lies to begin with, and they are basically broke.
The imbecile that you dumbfucks put in the white house, a loser compromised by the KGB back in the late 80s, has given putin what he could not win on the battlefield.
Therefore, war crime enablers and traitors of freedom and democracy, please fuck off and be so kind to die in a septic hole.

No. trumpistan chose to renege on its NPT obligation of providing security to Ukraine, an obligation it took in the early 90s when Ukraine was forced to give up its share of the Soviet nuclear weapons. Britain, also a signatory, remembered its obligations and has kept its promise.
I'll also remind you and the other paid russia trolls here that your territory also had the same obligations, along with a border treaty with Ukraine, which your little dictator signed in 2003. Nevertheless, you attacked Ukraine viciously and justified that with a barrage of lies that you yourself continue here.
WW3 is now much more likely, because the KGB ogre that is fucking you over is sure he will get a free pass. So he'll readily throw more of you in the fray, because to him you're garbage of even less value than we in the West are. As he told you a while ago, we will burn, and you - you'll go to Heaven.
Tiny 'Micro-Robots' in your Bloodstream Could Deliver Drugs with Greater Precision (msn.com) 12
The Washington Post reports:
Scientists in Switzerland have created a robot the size of a grain of sand that is controlled by magnets and can deliver drugs to a precise location in the human body, a breakthrough aimed at reducing the severe side effects that stop many medicines from advancing in clinical trials... "I think surgeons are going to look at this," [said Bradley J. Nelson, an author of the paper in Science describing the discovery and a professor of robotics and intelligent systems at ETH Zurich]. I'm sure they're going to have a lot of ideas on how to use" the microrobot. The capsule, which is steered by magnets, might also be useful in treating aneurysms, very aggressive brain cancers, and abnormal connections between arteries and veins known as arteriovenous malformations, Nelson said. The capsules have been tested successfully in pigs, which have similar vasculature to humans, and in silicone models of the blood vessels in humans and animals... Nelson said drug-ferrying microrobots of this kind may be three to five years from being tested in clinical trials.
The problem faced by many drugs under development is that they spread throughout the body instead of going only to the area in need... A major cause of side effects in patients is medications traveling to parts of the body that don't need them. The capsules developed in Switzerland, however, can be maneuvered into precise locations by a surgeon using a tool not that different from a PlayStation controller. The navigation system involves six electromagnetic coils positioned around the patient, each about 8 to 10 inches in diameter... The capsules are made of materials that have been found safe for people in other medical tools...
When the capsule reaches its destination in the body, "we can trigger the capsule to dissolve," Nelson said.

Even regular, European-style anti-trust action done half would have nicely worked. The problem is not the methods. The problem is nothing was done when the need for action was absolutely obvious.
