I think it's easy. Tech people like to think they're very smart, and yet most of them have missed bitcoin, being arrogant (though many of them heard about it and could have it since the beginning)

So it's more of an act of self-defense.

well, that's a lesson for every western-backed opposition wannabe: don't trust your German handlers (probably told him, they will support him like a murderer Khodorkovsky, and get him out later)

prisons are bad for your health

everything about asahi feels like it's an apple's product: everywhere you look - it is always "amazing"!

but so far no finally usable implementation exists even for m1 macbooks and they age quickly, and I doubt people will see anything usable in the end (yeah, you might get a fully working Linux on your old dusty m1 when you buy m7, happy?).

so far it is achievements for the sake of achievements

I was hoping for usb-c outputs vs miniHDMI (yeah, I know, they probably want to be compatible ith rpi4 cases, but still...)

I miss HTC (yeah, they're not dead officially, yet). From making ODM PDAs/phones for Dell/Compaq/HP/Google to becoming one of the top smartphone makers and playing with VR/beats headphones and into oblivion.

Hope somebody writes a book about them.
