That's basically what Android is. The APIs can run on any base OS, and for a while Microsoft maintained a subsystem for Windows. CPU agnostic too.

Chinese machines are already making inroads where they aren't banned. You can get a lot of decent construction equipment from there too. That's the danger here, by the time Western companies get around to producing EV tractors with all the advantages they bring, the market will be saturated with mature and competitively priced products.

As for durability, some EVs have proven to be very fixable. Nissan Leafs are a good example. Relatively simple, not difficult to work on, drivetrain that is separate from everything else and highly maintainable. Again, the Deeres of the world are screwing themselves with all this DRM bullshit that stops people fixing their products.

If you need health advice, check some European country's public health agencies. The UK's NHS has a decent website with information on a lot of medical conditions.

Thanks, that's informative. If I had mod points they would be yours.

"States rights!"

"No, not like that!"

This is the internet. I figured that since they tried to censor it, someone would have made copies.

Specifically, this effort: https://www.space.com/37506-qu...

I can't see what the difference is, other than that these guys managed to do it over a 10m long optical fibre, and the Chinese scientists did it from Earth to a satellite in orbit.

Maybe. I'm not sure what they are supposed to show. Some titles would be helpful.

Couldn't find a link to these videos anywhere in TFA. Anyone got them?

My understanding is that their dodgy software notices things like "abnormal" eye movements and accuses the student of cheating.

China is like the EU - perpetually on the verge of collapse, if you believe the "experts".

They do this not to hide bad numbers, to be prevent the kind of thing you see happening on Wall Street all the time. They don't want a huge speculative gambling market, they don't want people betting against their economy, and they don't want people making short term decisions based on quarterly data.

If the $ sign didn't give you away, the assumption that the law works like that did. The UK is not the US, the law doesn't allow you to get around the wording like that. Courts generally interpret the intention of the law, and look for ways for it to practically implement that intention.

Such obvious fraud would be, well, fraud.

If GDPR had been properly enforced, the current style of cookie banners should have been blocked from the start.

Recital 32 states that consent cannot be forced or coerced. Putting up a big banner that obscures half the page is coercion. Making it more clicks to opt out than to accept is coercion, and what's more GDPR clearly says that everything must be opt in, not out.

It was probably marketed as a feature when they bought the busses. "Remote monitoring and diagnostics", to help warn of any maintenance issues that may arise soon, so you can plan for the bus to be off the road for a while. GPS tacking so you know where you fleet is and can show expected arrival times at bus stops.

Presumably some European bus manufacturer saw that it was being out-competed, and started spreading a bit of FUD.

It depends who you are. If you are the government, then obviously you don't consider yourself much of a threat, so the biggest risk is other nations accessing your vehicles.

If you are a citizen, the biggest threat is your own government. The Chinese government likely has little to no interest in you, but your own government certainly does.

Apple's usual problem with FRAND patents is that it's own patent portfolio is largely worthless. Nobody is going to exchange a valuable WiFi patent for a design patent on rounded corners. Apple could just pay the licencing fees, but doesn't like to.

It's not just Broadcom they have to licence from either. A lot of the WiFi 6 and 7 stuff was invented by Huawei. Apple's cellular modems require paying Huawei too.
