This worked better on my old computer than ReactOS ever did and I have been testing out ReactOS since 2007. If AI is what it takes to deliver a working FOSS Windows-like OS then I am not complaining.

    It would be interesting if this results in Linux being forked or perhaps even more interesting developers and users opposed to AI moving to GNU Hurd or any of the BSD variants.

    Saudi Arabia is a big country. Most of Saudi Arabia is not at risk, despite it being within range. It is just that its oil exports go through three chokepoints, and all of its oil fields are concentrated in the east.

    They are behind on lithography machines. LogicFolding seems like one way to overcome that, but for now HiSilicon is 18-24 months behind Apple and Qualcomm in performance. I will believe the promised gains when they are delivered, and I'm hopeful that a Chinese company figures out how to make EUVs. In a sense being only behind by 18-24 months is a win for Huawei and China, Biden's goal was to keep Huawei at 2014 levels. In another Huawei phones and tablets still lose on performance in comparisons and they aren't cheap. Xiaomi has also contracted TSMC to make its Xring chip, not SMIC. Of course cutting edge nodes are not necessary for all applications, certainly not for military applications which is the alleged reason behind the US ban. My laptop uses NVMe by YMTC and I wouldn't tell the difference or care if it were 14nm or 28 nm or otherwise.

    The girls were just eight and 12 years old and were bombed as they slept

    An Israeli strike on a partially destroyed home in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, on Thursday morning killed a man, his wife, and their two young daughters as the IDF continues to regularly kill children in its constant violations of the US-backed ceasefire deal.

    The girls were just eight and 12 years old, and the family was killed as they were sleeping, according to a neighbor. “There isn’t any truce,” the neighbor, Zuhair al-Haisami, told Reuters. “Not a single day passes without martyrs, or (people being) injured.”

    The Quds News Networkidentified the father as Moamen Ahmed, the mother as Haneen, and their two daughters as Luna, 12, and Bana, eight. According to Reuters, the IDF claimed without evidence that Moamen was a Hamas member, and its statement made no mention of the woman and children who were killed in the strike.

    Israeli attacks hit other parts of Gaza on Thursday, with the Palestinian news agency WAFA reporting that several people were injured by strikes in Gaza City and near the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. In recent days, the IDF has ramped upforced evacuations and the bombing of buildings it ordered evacuated.

    Gaza’s Health Ministry said in its daily update that since the so-called ceasefire deal was signed in October 2025, the IDF has killed at least 1,359 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded 4,571. The US has continued to back Israel’s attacks despite announcing that Hamas had agreed to a deal that would see the group give up its weapons, a proposal that Israel has rejected.
