The reality is, even though it's now theoretically possible for Chrome and Firefox to be properly ported here, it's practically impossible. At any rate it's not happening yet. Last I heard they decided against it as it would require all of the coding to be done within the EU! So Apple is still effectively blocking alternatives on its platform even here.
It would be nice if the USA and Japan also pursue their own anti monopoly charges and force Apple to open up across the world
Kind of ironic that they are also requiring WPT compliance while they are the worst scoring major browser there.
Given Nvidia's track record I'd sooner imagine them just slacking off and overcharging more for lack of competition. I wish AMD would actually compete with them on GPUs (for graphics, not AI). Interestingly Intel seems to be trying to work up to that now.
My point was that people often don't realize how humid it is here. You apparently also can't believe it. And how our buildings are not made to keep heat out, but rather in. So I expect many more ACs to be sold here as well in the coming years.
It might just be a month or two each year. And it might be worse for you. But it's also getting pretty bad here already thanks to climate change. And that's not going to improve anytime soon thanks to all of us.
I think this will end up producing more CO2 in the end..
Of course education is not a constant thing, it keeps changing through time and it sounds like it could be improved.
Anyhow I'm personally very happy with the things I've learned in school and the friends I've made there. Sorry to hear about people apparently finding it completely useless.
