What has us government website visits got to do with game consoles?

Linux already has sustained user base.

Agree that Gnome is shitty, but fortunately installing KDE is trivially easy, and it doesn't suck. You can even keep both if that floats your boat.

So? My 8 week old kitten interacts with smartphones. Catches mice. Also speed dials random contacts.

The acronym is AA. Consider trying to use the same language as the rest of us.

"Falling debris" is Russian newspeak for "drones that hit their targets and blew things up". Which they are not allowed to admit, so they blame the fire and smoke on falling debris.

AAC? Airway Allocation Control? Got your TLAs mixed up?

Germany makes one of the best anti-drone weapons, the Skynex system, an autocannon. But the military is constitutionally restricted to defending the country against external threats, and Germany does not share any borders with Russia. The federal and regional police are officially responsible for controlling drones, but until now, are not legally allowed to shoot at them. Soon that will change, your glib comment to the contrary notwithstanding.

How exactly the police will exercise this new power is a great question. They certainly won't go off half-cocked and out of control, that is simply not typical of German police. They won't be blasting at them with Skynex autocannons, those are heavy military weapons not available to the police. Maybe shotguns or rifles. First they will try to bring them down with ECM, probably. They may experiment with laser systems, which really aren't ready for prime time but kind of getting there. But I think what we're about to see what is Germans tend to do better than just about anybody - get busy and invent some fantastic new machinery designed expressly for the job. Given the urgency, this could happen pretty fast.

Good thing they ignore the anecdotes of random slashdotters.

This is why Boeing killed people: trying to sweeten the sales proposition by eliminating the expense of recertification for a new airframe. Instead, by flimflammery, they tried to pretend that the Max has precisely the same aerodynamic characteristics as earlier 737s without the big high-bypass engines duct taped onto an ancient airframe that simply can't fit them in any safe way. Costly mistake both in lives and dollars. High time to put that creaky old design out to pasture and redraw from a clean sheet. Maybe have a computer more powerful than a hand calculator in it too.

So, exactly as any other Linux distribution does then.

With the usual crap desktop and lack of keyboard navigation? Just asking. Also with the usual 100% project ownership and lack of interest in user feedback? Thanks, but no thanks.

Are you sure about that? Newsweek says from 65 million to 80 million housing units across China are estimated to be empty

Tesla needs an answer to this, to keep their stock fraud going. Remember when robotaxi was going to justify Tesla's P/E being twenty times too high?

Considering that TSLA is overvalued by arguably 95%, based on fundamentals, any institution that buys into it or even holds it must be engaged in some kind of fraud. Either that or criminal negligence.

Right. Windows reboot sounds coming out of manager's offices is a clear signal to put on your parachute.

Selling out to IBM was the continuation of the end you mean. The beginning of the end for redhat was when they cancelled their desktop distribution in 2003.
