If you think that international diplomacy between nation states is like handling kids then you’re not a veteran diplomat either.

I’m no “veteran diplomat” but in my experience it is only the people without real power who make threats. When you have power, you don’t need to make threats. You just respond to events with whatever proportionate response is necessary and within your capability. You don’t need to provide a preview of what those responses will be.
Setting “red lines” looks to me like weakness because it is essentially a plea to the other side not to do those things that you don’t want them to do, and it invites them to push up to those red lines, do anything but, and test their boundaries to test your commitment to them.
Then what you bought is not a mouse, it’s a proprietary peripheral that emulates a mouse when you install its propretary drivers.
You clicked the tree somewhere and it would tell you either to try again, or you would win something. I think most people who won got $5 and a monkey plush toy. I’m not sure anyone ever won the jackpot. You could just click over and over again trying to remember where you had previously clicked, like a treasure hunt. Meanwhile they’re showing banner ads on the page.
It worked using the ismap

Does anyone remember the TreeLoot.com MoneyTree? It existed from 1998-2004 and looked like this:
I’m all in favor of going back to the old internet, but… not this.
Please down your use of “up” as a verb. It ups my blood pressure and downs my tolerance of reading newspaper headlines.
Sorry, there’s no way Qualcomm is buying Intel as is
At the end of its third quarter of its fiscal 2024, […] Qualcomm had $7.8 billion in cash and […] just over $23 billion in total assets. That means Qualcomm, […] is almost certainly looking at a stock-for-stock transaction. As of writing, Qualcomm’s market cap is $188 billion, just more than double that of Intel’s at $93 billion.
In fact, Chipzilla may not be worth much to Qualcomm unless it can renegotiate the x86/x86-64 cross-licensing patent agreement between Intel and AMD, which dates back to 2009. That agreement is terminated if a change in control happens at either Intel or AMD.
While a number of the patents expired in 2021, it’s our understanding that agreement is still in force and Qualcomm would be subject to change of control rules. In other words, Qualcomm wouldn’t be able to produce Intel-designed x86-64 chips unless AMD gave the green light.
is there any ARM chipset out there that can deliver performance on par with the Steam Deck’s CPU
Yes, but they’re made by Apple.
The amount of advertising for this tool in recent times is starting to look a lot like astroturfing.
spinning around Earth in a horseshoe shape for about two months
what? what kind of orbit is that?
Not my post btw, just sharing the link :)
Sorry for the reddit link, I don’t know of a mirror. This was posted just today, running on an EeePC:
The binaries in question are various GNU and FOSS tools from elsewhere, not part of the Ventoy project itself. So no, the Ventoy author does not own the copyright of the tools in question.
So your approach to security is that you cross your fingers and hope?
Ventoy has a lot of work to do if they want to earn our trust:
Remove BLOBs from the source tree #2795
This ticket has been open now for 5 months with no engagement from the maintainer.
Your install media and anything that modifies your EFI partition or UEFI firmware settings needs to be the most trusted part of your system. And here is Ventoy, a tool that looks open source and then includes a large number of binary blobs in its repository, with no indication of how they were compiled. This is horrible security practice and for me that’s enough for me to never use it.

A much better alternative, if you want a multi-boot USB, is GLIM: https://github.com/thias/glim
It’s just a collection of Grub configs, so very simple and easy to audit.
I used Ubuntu from version 8.04 to 18.04 and not once did I have a successful upgrade between major versions. There is always something that gets broken to the point that a reinstall is necessary.
they can’t be jammed the way radio can.
I wonder how well these satellite laser links do with various types of cloud cover.
I think you forgot to post the article.
