For when you need to really wipe the legacy of your brand.

I agree that some of these things---the ones that aren't explicable as searchlight beams reflecting off of clouds, or Venus, or balloons--- are not physical objects. My favorite idea is that someone (China, say) has lined up a bunch of tiny drones with radar transponders. When the first one in the line detects a radar ping from some American fighter, its transponder sends out a response that makes it look like a sizable object (whereas the drone itself is too small to show up on radar). Simultaneously it sends a signal to the next drone in the line, which does the same with some delay. Depending on the delay, the line of drones can appear to be a single object moving quickly or slowly. And if the line is bent, the virtual object can appear to take a sudden turn, or go into the water or come out of the water.

Optical illusions could be created in much the same way.

"Correct sun and moon icons during midnight sun — Fixed an icon that wrongly showed a moon during all-day daylight in polar regions... "
Huh? The Moon comes up in day time just like it does at night (with the possible exception of the full Moon, which rises about the same time the Sun sets, and sets about the same time the Sun rises). And if you look in the right place, you can see the Moon perfectly well in the daytime (assuming no clouds in the way).

And the fact you need increasing amounts of electricity to "mine" them means that people are abandoning them for easier to obtain products.

Than to have a COBOL like situation decades down the line. Same with the remaining Internet Explorer sites.

Poverty hasn't been solved by making trillionaires pay their fair share.

What does me being a bitter, resentful hater have to do with Musk's low self esteem?

We certainly know $44B can't buy it, the price Musk paid for Twitter to prioritize his thirsty tweets. He's still the same awkward, bald kid looking for validation.

Which means we've come full circle - Indians training their American replacements instead of the other way around.

Just phase out the Xbox for a standardised gaming PC at this point.

Just like TenFourFox and similar browsers supported old PowerPC Macs, you can expect Intel support for browsers to keep going, and Hackintoshes will keep Intel MacOS going forever as well.

Where a malicious package waits a few days before deploying itself. An adversary can build up trust for years in some cases in order to catch a big fish.

Considering that browsers are effectively executing arbitrary code on every website you visit, there has to be some trust boundaries established. Ladybird has not been widely tested yet and there is potential to have some very serious bugs. Until it has more testing it makes sense to be cautious, as there are exploit kits that actively exploit every new CVE.

Parent has a good point. Crypto is good for things other than money laundering. It is also good for tax evasion and as a form of gambling.

The stated goal of the EU is not what you are describing. Tech sovereignty is not about purity, it is about independence. That does not mean they will cut off all ties with American tech, it just means that for certain core technologies they do not want to be fully dependent on American firms handling their data.
