For a time it was a new market, full of potential growth. Then it got mature, every one who wanted one had one and given the nature of the device (low cost/low performance) it wouldn't need to be renewed for some time. Some manufacturers went upmarket (bigger and more powerful devices for more money) blurring the line with their entry level laptops. It wasn't a recognisable market segment any more. At some point, the market must have both shrunk too much and merged into other segments for anyone to care. Mobile devices ate their lunch too I guess.

It's better than days old refrigerated food, but not equivalent to freshly picked.

I grow beans in my garden. French beans and broad beans are quite good frozen, perhaps amongst the vegetables that tolerate the freezer the most. Very happy to have those out of season. But there is no comparison possible with the fresh stuff.

Texture and flavor may suffer, but nutritionally, there is no real difference between fresh or frozen. And in the winter, frozen is sometimes the better choice as they are frozen at the peak of readiness.

Unfortunately no.

The cold degrades some molecules involved in the flavour of the fruit.

But also yes. There may be some loss as you describe , but they’ll taste better brought back till room temperature than straight from the fridge .

As someone who started it's career in a thinkpad only shop

Indeed, old thinkpads were designed to survive a coffee spill on the keyboard and they did, and various drops (with spinning rust as storage and cfl backed screens)

And when you achieve to break some part, it can be easily swapped. Oh and the documentation for that is available and very detailed.

0% chance of this happening, but I like the idea.

Why not? Multiple politicians have already mentioned IP as a possible method of retaliation. Also, the goal is to hurt Trump, his voters and his allies. Tech Bro's are Trumps allies nowadays.

Denmarks largest export is Ozempic. Ignoring IP rules will hurt EU producers too.

How do you plan to ignore IP to hurt American tech companies. I guess if you allow piracy of all of netflixs content that would work (but same thing would hurt spotify).

Most tech companies are not protected by IP but by network effects and vendor lock in. It would be far simpler to simply implement a minimum tax on revenue or advertising spend in country to extract value.

Phase out Facebook, Instagram and Xitter, 200% tax on Google ads, subsidize local cloud providers, phase out Amazon.

Make piracy legal for downloaders, and stop enforcing the criminal law for seeders.

Also pirate Microsoft, like in good old times.

XP 64 was kinda good but crippled by poor driver support and thus stability issues.

>look at what China is doing

China needs everything it can build and more. It's not much the what but rather where, when and how much that is crucial.

There is indeed a difference between specced for "incandescent bulbs wont start a fire" and "it's warm enough to cook the electronics of your led bulbs"

Thing is, touching it (the enclosure not the led bulbs) with my bare hands it's just slightly warm. I wash my hands with water much hotter than that.

Edit: and I just realized, the mac mini i'm mostly typing code/emails/comms on idles at less than the 2 x 12 W bulbs above it...

Big talk. Let's see if it will survive another media cycle.

Moped going 20+kph are regulated need registration and can't ride on sidewalk, there are ebikes weighting more than moped and going faster.
