Imagine Europe pushing RISC-V and sharing upgrades with China¹. The power of the flagship would soon reach ARM or even x86-64 in a few years.

¹ China is already using RISC-V as much as they can.

It would be better to switch to RISC-V because it has no problems with patents and everyone can build a RISC-V CPU, not only 2 companies.

One can only dream about people fleeing x86-64 and going ARM or, even better, RISC-V.

But no, it’s only changing the collar to the dog. But the dog stays the same.

In the 486 era (90s) there was a not official story about the way Intel marked its CPUs: instead of starting slow and accelerate until failure, start as fast as you can and slow down until it doesn’t fail.

I started by hating Microsoft even before Linux. It was the day I saw the 3.5" disks of Win3.11 didn’t have the tab to write them. My reaction was “those are OUR disks, not Microsoft’s”. I was using then DRDOS and later OS/2. Also I used an Atari STE. So not much love for Windows. And when I saw KDE (maybe 2.0) I installed Linux.

Having an “smart” TV doesn’t mean you have to use the “smart” part.
