command.com was just the shell (like bash, zsh, Windows Terminal), not the kernel. Pre-NT Windows would use API calls to talk to the DOS kernel, bypassing command.com.

the Windows GUI win.exe would probably be launched by command.com, though, because it was specified in autoexec.bat, the batch of startup tasks designed to be read by command.com. command.com could be closed after autoexec.bat had run.

the DOS kernel would generally only be used for 16-bit programs, 32-bit programs were managed by a newer kernel more towards the NT kernel.

the whole situation was a horrible mess and never worked very reliably.

Very hard to get headphones that fit Ferengi on a station run by hew-mons.

are you saying the large extent of the two Trojan fields shows "wobbliness" of space? because you'd expect all the debris to be right at the exact L4 and L5 points?

if so - no, because a LaGrange point is (despite being massless itself) something a light body can have a stable orbit around. it's not just the only stable point, it allows a large zone for stable orbits.

100%, because Taiwan was in the Japanese Empire from 1895 to 1945, and was pretty much independent from 1945 to the KMT arrival in 1948.

No, not really. It's still in the constitution since the 1940s only because changing it would provoke a military reaction from China. Nobody actually believes it, not since CKS died in the 70s.

No-one in the government of Taiwan considers themselves the true government of China. But they're stuck with the old constitutional claims from the 1940s still on the paper because any change to reflect reality would be called a "declaration of independence" by China, and trigger a military reaction.

on-board machine vision and audio recognition is super useful for a lot of sensors.
