triple DES was mainly meant to increase key size, the increased security come mainly from much larger keyspace compared to the original 56-bit, not so much from encrypt/decrypt 3 times.

It does not matter. Current governments are already transparent. The conspiracy theorist will just continue to say the government data are have been fabricated and manipulated. Does not matter how much date you give them, they will just ignore them and just seek out only "data" to confirm their beliefs.

Unfortunately, it is also the target of all the anti-GMO anti-vax crowd claiming the traditional attenuated virus is more "natural" and kept spewing all the batshit stuff about DNA mutation, etc..

There are not many HR and accounting positions left in most smaller companies especially tech companies as most of the HR and accounting task has been subject outsourcing in the past 20 years. I've previously worked for a start up with team of 50 that has only 1 nice lady with the role of admin/HR/Finance.

I won't consider raspberry pi as the 'best' ARM based desktop experience because of the highly proprietary broadcom SoC and it closed source GPU drivers. They have a different goal. To make it cheap and affordable for education usage. Any Android or iphone have much better GPU drivers and software support. Perhaps Apple's recent M1-based laptop would be a better comparison of how much can ARM processors performance when it is designed specifically for laptops. When proper attention is given to developing quality drivers and software, it is now comparable or even better than x86. To me, it is still mainly a form factor or UI limitations. A Microsoft surface without keyboard is just as bad as an iPad in terms of usability.

Yeah, like other commenters, the biggest problem is not really CPU performance for many office task but the UI. Touchscreen is just not good for entering large about of info or using it for precise navigation. Try using Google sheets for a phone/tablet for even a simple home budget calculation and I'll be cursing to even put my cursor on the correct cell. Chromebook is actually quite decent for kids online classroom. Google docs/sheets are quite usable for most simple usage if you have a decent internet connection. Heck, these days I'm actually doing most of my work via SSH/Vim, a Chromebook might actually be good enough for 80% of my work.

Unlike what the tech reviews keep saying about tablet and smartphone for decade, tablet and smartphone still could not replace PCs. they are still rather limited when it comes to doing actual productive work despite the tremendous increase in processing power.

yeah, unfortunately hardcore science and tech companies are usually valuated less than consumer popular companies are worth much more. ARM holdings is only about 32 billion while TikTok is 75 billion!!!

modern silicon fab is a lot more complicated than just building chips based on design from customer. high level design is by Apple but TSMC is also probably high involved in lower level design of transistors, routing, layers, etc. anyway, Apple also probably didn't design all the components. they probably buy most of the sub components from IP core vendors such as Mentor, etc.

I'm in a developing South East Asian country, and living a a relative modern city with most of the modern electrical gadgets and appliances including air conditioning. However, my monthly usage is only about 90kWh for my 3 bedroom apartment. So, 40kWh is like almost 2 weeks of energy usage for me!

Not sure how much they factor in the environmental cost of smartphones and computers but I'm pretty sure smartphone and computers are very rarely use as a dedicated single purpose music streaming alone.

You have an option for:

Scary tug look which includes:
- baseball bat

- eye-patch?
- black hoodie?

Or for more senior associates, Mafia-style look which includes:
- cigar or vintage tobacco pipe

As far as I know, the main target use case is not for OS kernel to use it as a backend for traditional filesystem. This will just move the responsibility for handling the flash block management from a highly specialized SSD controller with HW accelerators to an inefficient general purpose host CPU. Some high-end SSD have several GB of DRAM to keep track for flash block managements. I won't want my host OS to use large chunk of RAM just for flash management.

The main target application for ZNS is for certain data center applications that usually performs large sequential block writes. This will significantly reduces many flash management overheads on the storage stack but the application will need to be aware for the ZNS/SMR behavior.

So, the title of the OP is a little incorrect. It is not an evolution for SSD but more like an additional feature for certain specialized application. It is not meant to replace current conventional SSDs.

PS: I work for WD SSD but not involve in ZNS.

I'm not sure I understand you problem. I don't have any problem searching for thing in my gmail. I'm not looking for job and don't have job ids in my inbox but I can easily search for any IDs (shopping order, shipping tracking code, etc) in gmail with both desktop browser client and android gmail client.
