This measure is likely intended to eliminate the dangers and annoyances caused by inconsiderate self-centered fucks that fly drones in inappropriate places and generally piss everyone off. The main character crowd is notorious for this, but Chinese take it to a whole new level in the annoying department.

I'll just fly my drone out of my 30th story window. So what if I rain batteries and gear onto the heads of those below.

Everybody loves when I fly my drone around the Summer Palace.

That makes no sense as Hyper-V is fully supported by Veeam and Zerto.

Hyper-V for individual hosts may be "free". But at scale Hyper-V ends up costing almost as much as Broadcom. The cost for Windows Data Center and System Center Virtual Machine Manager(SCVMM) is ridiculous.

So what are they using? Veeam handles Hyper-V, Proxmox, KVM, Nutanix, and more.

XCP-ng seems like a likely candidate. It is an excellent, though not drop-in, replacement for VMWare. But, Veeam doesn't support it.

You can't convince me that Tesco is using HPE's shitty product. That would be like jumping from the frying pan into a super volcano.

China is routinely accused of this subsidize and sell below cost strategy and I'll accept that it is really happening. But, where does the money for the subsidies come from? What profitable export is generating their wealth if "everything" is subsidized?

There has to be profit or free resources(inputs) or they would not have the money for all these subsidies.

Hegseth literally told them that they would be targeted for retaliation if they didn't allow the DoD to use their AI without restrictions.

Anthropic held their ground and refused the contract. They are totally on the shit list.

Thanks to the existence of things like XCP-ng and, to a lesser extent, Proxmox, I'm not the least bit tempted.

Hell, I'd choose to use OpenStack, or even stab myself in the eye, before using HPE Morpheus or VMWare.

Exactly what job does he hold that he can perform under these conditions?

I had no idea what that might be, so I did some checking. I think that we can all agree that everyone should use:

CRYSTALS-Kyber encryption
and
CRYSTALS-Dilithium

Wireguard in shambles.

This will severely damage Arch, possibly beyond repair.

It will be sad to see Arch go. I've personally never used it. But, I have and do use their documentation. Arch docs are fantastic, no matter what distro you use.

These will be a huge indicator of the market and consumer confidence.

If these sell, at this absurd price, then we will know that consumer confidence is way too high(and stupid) and that we are at peak and destined to crash.

If these are flatly refused as stupid and priced at an insane price-to-value ratio, then we can hope for some economic continuation.

$1,000+ phones are stupid. $2,200 glasses are orders of magnitude beyond stupid.

The value of El Salvadoran Bitcoin holdings cited by that link are down 19% in the 30 days since the story was posted. And, as this Slashdot article points out, Bitcoin is down nearly 50% in the last year that caused them to beg the IMF for $1.4B.

Anyone unable to see that as a losing bet is beyond help.

But, as is so often the case with politicians, Bukelele doesn't care because he's losing other people's money, not his own.

Remember El Salvador in 2021? Moving to Bitcoin they were. It's gonna be yuge says Bukele and a few.

In late 2025 their congress stepped in and passed a new law to unwind all that shit as it continued to fuck over their economy and the IMF required it for yet another loan. And that was before things got really crappy in Bitcoinatopia.

I wonder if they were able to sell any reserves before a 50% crash and a total loss on their infrastructure build out($1.6B)?

HODL onto that bag!

Do we know that they actually have Bitcoin reserves? And if so, do we know how much they have? The only confirmed national "reserves" I've heard about, prior to the wars, was tiny nation stats like El Salvador.

Also, what would Russia and Iran be spending them on? Wouldn't it be more likely that they are accepting Bitcoin payments for their oil exports? And probably not Bitcoin either. More likely some stable coin because Bitcoin sucks due to volatility.

I see lots of baseless claims online about these nations trading in Bitcoin, as if it's known and certain. And frankly it makes sense that they would trade in crypto currency in order to circumvent sanctions. But actual facts would be nice.

Can we get someone to verify if these are Epstein's orbs or not?

Different battery is the difference. Magnix/Harbour Air is a fantastic project. But the Magnix battery is 300Wh/kg. https://www.magnix.aero/batter...

At 410Wh/kg this one is theoretically 36% more power dense by mass.
