Hamas knows that they won't accept and that this war never about the hostages to begin with. IDF would be quite happy to slit their throats themselves if it allowed them to destroy Hamas and kill Gaza quicker. It's just PR for Hamas, they are the reasonable ones wanting peace and release of the hostages, but US and Israel refuse.
It's partly because of the guit of holocaust, but also because they just don't personally want to lift a finger regarding Palestine. It's a toxic mixture of inbred zionism, cold geopolitical calculus, appeasing the US in trying time in transatlantic relations, and neocon hubris. They maybe can bend to appease their own populations, but they really are not prepared to stop Israel and they would much rather help them. They just want the genocide to happen, but quietly and out of sight and no protests.
But it's not really just Gaza. They do this because of Ukraine, rising cost of living, European humiliation in from of Trump, falling economy, their own unpopularity, etc.... They are fearing the upheaval and people getting ideas when Brussels doesn't seem to have any of it's own. Remember that these are the same people who though that the end of the soviet union was the end of history and they are the culmination of humanity. They cannon accept being wrong or stepping down at this point.
Why are so many European countries getting worried about encryption and/or age verification?
EU elites want to hold on to power. They know everything is going to shit economically and politically and there will be backlash for this economic situation, covid, Ukraine, Gaza and everything. So they try to shut down free information and speech by censoring internet and enforcing self censorship to stay in power. Free speech and any civil liberty is on the loan anyway, unless the people are ready push back constantly. These fuckers have no morality or common sense otherwise.
The question is also what would US government do. You miss the fact that windows-x86 complex is self supporting cornerstone of US soft and economic power, also spying. What will they do to prop up that monopoly?
No big corporation or state institution handling vast amounts of customer data will not allow this. Also really bad for regular consumer too. Microsoft servers will become treasure trove for hackers.
It was struggling from the get go. Now they are running out of interceptors. You need at least two interceptors for one target to have 90%+ chance to down it. Russia has been launching 500+ drones, missiles and decoys almost every night since late spring. Do the math.
What was that study... if US loses 9 of it's 55k substations simultaneously then the whole national electrical network would overload, shit would hit the fan and US could get 18+ month blackout from coast to coast. It's not just about not being able to scale lake boiling amounts of AI-compute, but also a threat of emp strikes, domestic terrorism and solar flares.
It of course won't happen, but if Intel went poof next monday then what would happen to the x86 ecosystem. It's basically co-owned by AMD and Intel. As I recall the sharing partnership that these two have basically prevents neither guy from selling their patents/license to third parties. Would we just be left with AMD monopoly with intel's corpse hanging from it, until X86 finally croaks? Do these CPU licensing agreements prevent just wholesale acquisition of Intel?
