I played it with 4 people and we got really far. You just have to learn to communicate.

Yep. TSMC in particular already has systems in place to render all of its factories inoperable in the event of an invasion.

Make them play Chained Together

Not at all.

He's a billionaire genius playboy philanthropist.

Saudi Arabia especially gets a lot of free passes because of western liberals' laser focus on Israel and unwillingness to criticize any Islamic country due to a fear of being labeled as Islamophobic despite these countries being the most illiberal places on Earth. Saudi has a lot to answer for with their genocide in Yemen and sypport for various terror groups and we, the United States sell them a metric fuck ton of weapons and military equipment. We also do not have them on our list of state sponsors of terrorism like we do Iran, Sudan, Syria, and of all places, Cuba.

China and Myanmar also don't get enough flak for their abuse of the Uighur and Rohingya ethnic groups respectively.

And of course everyone has forgotten about how the Taliban now rule Afghanistan and are inching closer day by day to being recognized a legitimate sovereign state despite literally being a terrorist organization that deprives its own citizens of basic rights every day. But the funny thing to me is that Saudi does a lot of the same shit but the west looks the other way because they have money. I mean it was considered a major reform in their society a couple years back when women were first allowed to drive cars at all.

Visual Studio for Mac was never the real Visual Studio it was a reskin of Xamarin Studio.

I don't actually use VS either mostly because I prefer to use a lighter editor and the commandline. But it does set a high bar for what an IDE should be.

He's less like Iron man and more like the Tin man from the Wizard of Oz.

There's also Zed. It's still pretty new and barebones but I like it a lot more than Code or anything else.

It looks like they deprecated that one so they can sell the Rust plug-in for CLion. Granted RustRover is free for non-commercial use.

Stuff like this is why I don't mess with paid IDEs and editors.

They're really not. As much as I hate commercial licensing for any dev tools, if you want to talk about superior there's nothing quite as good as Visual Studio (not code) on Windows.

I love how we all know exactly who you're talking about.

We're not. The PRC is all bark and no bite. Their economy would topple over in the wind if they had to fight any serious war. Also the ROC (which controls Taiwan) has essentially made unofficial backchannel deals with the US for protection. There's no way the PRC risks war with the US. Not only would they lose horribly, as a country that is run like a business, it would also lose its biggest customer.

Recharge the car when you're away from home?

Most large gas stations I've been to have chargers now.

Samsung’s military shit did not explode

Well I should hope its ordnance did. Lol

Meanwhile the Broadcom VideoCore is completely undocumented and only works with their kernels.

Secureboot and DMA are two different and AFAIK unrelated things. Secureboot primarily exists to ensure that only trusted OS kernels are run on a particular device. Otherwise someone could just boot their own OS installation from wherever and then have it access your storage and other devices and thus compromise your machine. I am not entirely sure how it works but I think it uses cryptographic signatures for kernels and drivers that aren't built into a kernel. I know that on Linux with Secureboot on if you want to use certain dynamically loaded drivers then they have to be signed. I prefer not to deal with all that so I just disable it in the firmware because no cyber criminal has physical access to my PC anyway.

DMA is just a way to get data from peripherals without CPU intervention. Without DMA every time a peripheral wanted to send your machine data it would have to trigger an interrupt (or be polled continuously) which the OS would catch and then read the data from the device. This isn't really super practical with modern hardware hence DMA allows peripheral devices to write directly to the system's main memory without the CPU (or the OS that runs on it) being involved at all. Then the kernel can read that data from memory whenever it sees fit to do so.

Go look up what Samsung started out selling. They make a ton of military shit too just mostly for their own country.

By contrast, Windows is a microkernel. It only creates an API layer for the hardware vendor to write a driver that interfaces with Windows.

NT is a hybrid kernel that is nearly monolithic.

Also you don't seem to understand what the difference between a microkernel and a monolithic kernel is. The defining difference is what mode and address space drivers and non-core kernel subsystems run in. If they run in the higher half in a privileged CPU mode like the base kernel then you have a monolithic kernel. If they run in userspace as one or more programs then you have a microkernel. If some run in kernel space and others run in userspace you have a hybrid kernel. And if your kernel exposes hardware interfaces directly to application programs providing only protection and multiplexing of them between programs and shared libraries are used to interact with those interfaces then you have an exokernel. If the kernel mimics the underlying hardware to each program running on top of it and let's them think they're running on the hardware directly then you don't have a kernel at all you have a type II hypervisor.
