Japan tried to build an operating system for the entire world, then the US government intervened

Turkey tried to push Pardus (a debian based distro developed in Turkey) in its earliest days as a national OS alternative that on a proposed law would be required to be listed as an option you can choose when buyjng your computer, then Bill Gates stepped in to have talks with the government and that law idea stopped.

Currently they're on another push by having it be taught on computer lessons and forcing it on smart boards, but the effects it could've gotten back then would be crazy.

Why is the RAM crisis happening even through AI datacenters use a type of RAM that isn't found on consumer hardware?

Manufacturers have a certain amount of chips they can manufacture, let's say they can manufacture 10 million chips per year. Normally they adjust for demand, like manufacture 7 million chips for consumers and 3 million for enterprise customers. Company A contacts them and says "We need 6 million chips for this year, here's the money", But the factories still can manufacture only 10 million chips in total, so they adjust their factories to manufacture more enterprise focused chips, decreasing the amount of chips manufactured used by consumers.

All jokes aside, IoT devices suck.

Why does a dishwasher need to connect to a remote server to use its full functionality? Why does my coffee maker need me to start it using an app? At that point it isn't a feature, it's a dependency that the company behind will eventually shut down one way or another.
