They don't have enough electricity to use domestic AI solutions and their entire economy is supported by external tech giants because they let it get that way. Short term greed and profits over long term stability. Even with that much flowing into the country, look at the barbaric way the majority of their population lives because there is a grand total of zero effort to help out other Indian people by Indian people. They got their money, keep the peasants out of the cities, and "look at me and my clothing and cars and fancy house" is basically the culture over there. That never goes well. I think they have bigger problems in their society than missing out on AI tech that's one giant bubble when they cannot possibly compete in the first place.
This is the most Apple fanboy cope cult member article I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of them. I'm going to run what I want to run. Fuck you and fuck Google.
Okay, go install it, uninstall zero MS apps, sign into a hybrid online account as required by the unmodified installer, install Discord or Teams and Steam, don't disable Edge's ability to run in the background or disable fast boot in Windows, reboot, open one Chrome window, and let me know what wizardry you did to have it not use approximately 11.5GB of RAM, as it consistently does in my testing.
You can just barely install windows 11 24h2, put some basic common software on it, and then just idle it after booting with 16GB without paging with all the bloated garbage running. How the heck are people running games on 16GB? It should be 32 now with people looking at 64.
OH NO, now poor people will have to redirect their wasted money from Temu and Aliexpress garbage to more beer, dogs, scratch offs, and junk food domestically! Anyway, I am so sick of people blaming this de minimus crap. The "developing nation" shipping subsidy China gets is the problem. If it cost what it actually cost to send that stuff across the ocean, taxes wouldn't matter because nobody would buy it.
As a Dutch person born in the US who has no knowledge of their culture whatsoever, I can assure you, it's the wooden shoes. Beavers find them offensive and we find that offensive.
And stocks in Privacy.com virtual credit cards where you can customize the name just went up. I have a feeling they may be able to detect this but you never know.
The best news is that stupid youtube scammer using energy net negative pyro-whatever scamming people on crowdfunding can shut up now.
The bad part is that they're China and they're lying.
Their brains don't work because they're programming to live life at 10x because of short form videos and if they don't "get a like" from their boss on their low-effort work, they just surf social media all day to get it there. They're useless, brain-damaged addicts who can't hold a job or exist in modern society. Their parents should have taken their phones and computer away until they were like 17.
Basically "blah blah blah tax the rich, they should tax stock holdings not me, I want free stuff, medical should be free, blah blah blah." Literally during the interview and checking their phone 5 times too. I've seen it all at this point.
Their motherboards have been lighting on fire and failing in similar ways since waaaay before 2025, trust me. Their products are unreliable, low quality trash.
IT hiring manager here. No, it's them being unable to type, spell, and wanting a promotion on day 1 with no experience while spouting off socialist bullshit in the office. That's why we're not hiring them. We mostly use AI to generate pictures of cats running fiber lines though.
