This is nothing new Meshtastic is open source, but the logo and name is trademarked. It's probably not a bad tatic in this day and age of Chinese companies finding an open source product of interest, cloning it and cranking out devices by the millions with no credit given to the original creator.

At some point companies have to replace the hardware they are currently using either due to more power efficient hardware coming out, failures of existing hardware, and the fact they can't write off the depreciation of the hardware any more. And that's exactly where one makes the decision of staying with the status quo or examining other options on the market.

My guess is you could migrate these existing x86 VMs over to whatever hypervisor they have on the manframes emulating x86 which would probably be significantly inefficient in performance and power use. It would probably be like dropping a 1990's honda civic engine into a F350 truck. Yes you could probably make it work, but it would absolutely suck.

Perhaps we should put the brakes on AI till we figure out as a society what to do with those jobs that are going to be displaced by it. AI has the ability to pretty much eliminate all knowledge worker jobs and can probably also eliminate blue collar physical labor laws once it's integrated into a viable humanoid robot.

Anyone who uses vim on the regular is a masochist. Yes it's good to have some basic knowledge of it since it is the one and only editor that is guaranteed to be on a *nix system and may be all you can use if the system is in a seriously fucked state. But any other reason there a fuck ton of other editors, most already installed in most distros by default these days that are miles saner to use on the regular.

There will probably never be a single electronic payment method. Just like we don't have a single national bank, nor a single national credit card. At best maybe these electronic payment platforms will standardize on a method of interoperability between their platforms like we have with the different credit and debit cards all working on the same payment terminal.
